Time Poll #1 What time zone are you in?

Related to a discussion in the NWN2 section, I am setting up some admittedly impromptu polls relating to time spent by ALFAns in ALFA.
As 24 options are too many for this board, please select the interval for which one of the endpoints is the offset for the STANDARD time in the time-zone in which you live. For example, Eastern Standard Time is -5, whereas Australia Eastern Time Zone is +10.
If you live in a time zone where it is offset by a half-hour, choose the interval that contains it.
Thank you.
There may be other polls forthcoming.
GMT-5, but not really

Euro hours are better for me because I like to play EST working hours. That's anywhere from about GMT 2 to 9:30 pm. Maybe a poll on when and where people actually play would be informative, though I wouldn't know how to set one up.

PST is usually GMT - 8. So you'd select the -7 / - 8 option, as I did.

Euro +2.
Though I play at nights, so I sometimes/often catch early waking kiwis and Americans who don´t have better to do in their jobs.

With whom do you play more; Europeans earler than you or Far East, West Coast North/South America later than you? The former, choose +9, the latter +10

No.
We're either +12 or +13 depending on DLS. -11 would be an entirely different day.

But is it not the same time, but on a different day?
I think the poll is trying to find out how many people have the same timeframes, so someone in gmt +13 has the same breakfast time as someone in gmt -11, just a different day.
