I wonder why there are two separate sneeze ticks with such a illogical timing. Ah well, who's supposed to understand illnesses.

So I assume all the times given were in Cantr time.

Does anybody know at what time IRL the Cantr midnight occurs, i.e. when a new day starts in Cantr?

So you can get all excited that one of your favorite characters lit up, then get sad because it's only sneezing, then get all excited for no reason again later.

I calculated the Cantr midnight, based on the difference between the HTTP timestamp and the current Cantr time as reported on a served page, to be 12:25:36 UTC. Can anybody back this up?

Edit: I realised the server time was actually in GMT standard time, not daylight time... so based on further 5 samples, I estimate the Cantr midnight to be at 13:24:06 UTC.

So they could screw with people in different time zones who were active. Better chance of getting them all this way.

And I don't know UTC time...So..I can't help ya joo.

Current ticks I am aware of:

Eat = 7.31
Project = *.27 edit: observed to occur at approximately *.27.32 or *.27 + 160 seconds
Travel = *.21
Sailing = *.16
Death = 0.04
Sneeze = 5.03, 7.27

Animal attack = 6.07, 4.08 or *.07/*.08?

I am not sure about the latter. Perhaps somebody else could provide more data.

Edit: due to the omission of Cantr seconds from the event logs from which tick timings are usually deduced, there is an error margin of 5 minutes by which derived timings can occur before the actual events.

I think all these times we've gathered are wrong now after the server's relocation. Unless staff decides to bump things back to where they were before.

Eating tick occurred at 5.22 today and just saw a boat tick at 6.07.

Yes, there's now a time difference of about 2 hours and 9 minutes.

are docking ticks the same as sailing ticks or seperate cuz if they are the same then our sailing and land travel ticks are together now.

What exactly does this time difference apply to? Do all ticks now occur offset by that amount from their previous times during the day?

Edit: Well I noticed two consecutive eating ticks with that difference in their timing within the day, in IG time, so I assume you're referring to that.

Oh yeah, I'm tired. Sorry.

That's the time the Cantr clock was stopped, so it should apply to all ticks. In real time terms they probably haven't changed at all.
