Ok, I am ninja!
But.. ninja style works! And in this moments I can imagine the red face of my opponet, who refreshes the page every 5 seconds..

P.s. I'd recommend the Topicstarter to post it at Bugs forum next time.

Ninja style doesn't work though as it adds 3 minutes to the bidding no matter when you do it. The only thing you do by trying to snipe a TL auction is allow that much more time for someone else to find the auction that's about to end. You're better off being a ninja and bidding 2 seconds after the last bid so that an inattentive player won't check for the next couple minutes and miss out on the chance to counter bid.

Well as much as I agree that it seems like an "official" clock and everything is based on this "unofficial clock" something should change. I know for a fact and have checked numerous times that my games start when the "unofficial clock" strikes 08:00. On the other hand I have noticed and timed the clock to be 12 - 40 seconds faster than my computer and cell phone times on different occasions. Always faster though. As far as bidding do what your little heart pleases but if within 3 mins of end to auction it gets extended 3 mins so seems pretty pointless. When someone keeps raising the min of $1000 or whatever it may be I re-raise about $10,000 each time to let them know I'm not messing around and you are not going to get a cheap player so stop being a DB.

yes, it's no ideal situation that the clock isn't always 100% right. So yesterday when typing my post I thought about suggestnig to delete the clock in the upper right, but then again, I think it's not a good idea. It has it's use, and I think is a good contribution to the site.

Leaving away the mseconds might help.
OR maybe the tranferlist should mention timeperiods instead of timepoints. For instance: auction ends somewhere between 8:10 and 8:15

But then the ninja's would get angry.

and in a rare case that the clock gets more then 3 minutes off, that might still be a problem!

Maybe the best solution would be a countdown on the player page, but it might get off too I suppose, which would make matters worse.

So the best solution, in my opinion, would be: ...

... putting a line in the tranfer rules, to make sure to place your bid in time, and to NOT rely on the siteclock.

i have noticed clock problems only when page loads slowly and when i use FF heavely for other pages, then there is times when clock in some BB tabs slows down a bit after it has loaded, or it is already late a sec or two after longer page loading.

Are you sure you weren't in the lab when a meteOr struck and it made you like this? Or was that just the original accident?

well, reading your post i think u forgot that u r the artist! :D

and in my post i told every detail, not just that "clock was wrong, so go and fix it"... (but i feel good for inspiring you :D)
