Heres what i dont get.... PSO has a beat system ya?

Guess what that Beat system is for...
Answer : To allow people from around the world to arrange meeting times right?

So heres the big question........
Question : Why the hell do people still arrange all the times in american times and such when its unfair on us Europians. I'm not that good at geography and dont exactly know the time zones and such so Why dont people just use beats?! I'ts what they are there for!!

It's quite simple, people don't like trying to convert normal time to beats, and when two people play in the same time zone, what's the point of using beats? And how many people are going to try to figure out how to translate between the two, not very many.

The Beat system is much like this site's tech support forum in the fact that they're both as useful as a solar powered flashlight.

the beats system is kinda stupid, becasuse it splits up the day into 1000 beats, which really isnt a very conveniant number when a day (in seconds or minutes, or hours for that matter) doesnt divide exactly into 1000. the idea was good but it needs refining, if it were 1200 beats it could work but 1000 just aint the right number.

I always try to figure out the time diff between my friends and I. Example:

"Alright, so when it's 2:30 here, it's 1:30 there... so I guess I'll see you at 1:30 your time."
