Please note that time is NOT changing in the USA tonight, but time in Europe, mexico, Brazil and other places are changing. What does this mean for YOU?
If you are in Europe or Britian this means Sunshine's games will begin an hour earlier than normal for 1 week (6:00 PM, 11:00 PM and 2:00 AM daily), then go back to our regular times.
If you are in Mexico this means Sunshine's games will begin an hour earlier than normal for 1 week (Noon, 5:00 PM and 8:00 PM daily), then go back to our regular times.
If you are in Brazil this means Sunshine's games will begin an hour later than normal for 1 week (4:00 PM, 9:00 PM and Midnight daily), then another hour later the following week (Starting November 4: 5:00 PM, 10:00 PM and 1:00 AM daily). 2 Hour shifts occur twice a year because our times change in opposite directions.
If you are in Australia this means Sunshine's games will begin as they have the past few weeks, your times changed in early Octiber (5:00 AM, 10:00 AM and 1:00 PM daily), but our time change on November 4 will shift start times another hour later (Starting November 4: 6:00 AM, 11:00 AM and 2:00 PM daily). 2 Hour shifts occur twice a year
because our times change in opposite directions.
We are sorry for any inconvenience this causes our players. Sunshine runs on US Eastern times for our main schedule. Our TD's can optionally add late tables for late arriving players this week, but please be patient if we cannot accomodate everyone. These time changes are difficult on our staff. Perhaps one day the clocks can stop changing, and make all our lives simpler...
We hope all players will be patient during this transition week... The Sunshine League

Inquiring minds seem to want to know.... Why are we in Sunshine's lobbies all the time?
Welllllllllll... It seems if any League room closes, then reopens a short time later the room's log file can be lost... Most leagues have lost a log they needed at one time or another, especially if they host events here very much...
So.......... Sunshine called up it's old mascot name from another site... SunshineBot... Makes it clear the nick isn't there... Bot would lobby sit and keep Sunshine's lobbies open at all times... But then what if Bot's PC crashed? The log would still be lost... So SunshineLog was born to be SunshineBot's twin... To lobby sit and protect the log files... Boring job, but what else are mascots for? :-)
Then the Special Events lobbies were created, for large events that might overlap the regular schedule... I got to make the lobbies and also be mascot... 2 jobs for me... I am king of the mascots! :-)
Now Sunshine's players worry if any of us disappear... We are part of Sunshine's family... Well actually we are all nicknames on Gift's PC's but shhhhhhhhhh that's a secret! So if you see any of us in our designated lobbies, and we don't answer or play, it's because we are there all the time, and often when there is no one sitting at our PC's... We are supposed to remain in our assigned lobbies at all times, and barring PC problems or connection errors, we try to stay in them...
Hope this answers all those nagging questions about us... Maybe one day the log problem will be fixed and then the players can miss us and wonder where we all disappeared to... Until then we are Sunshine's faithful mascots... :-)
