take a look at all the Port Royal sites, and then a map of the world's time zones and you'll see that the US, UK, Spain and Austria sites all open at exactly the same time. Not sure about the Japan site, don't know how the International Date Line factors in to it.

You only have to look at the japanese version of the game to find out. It looks like their game will open 7/12 at 1800 japan time. That's 9 hours before the UK and US games open.

When does the 'timer' start? At the specified time for everyone or after each individual logs in?
I ask because I, for one, will be at work at that time and unable to participate until later that evening.

I find it unlikely they'd be opening the puzzle at 3AM local time, or use GMT for what is clearly a japan-specific website.

If you can actually read the japanese, I'm all ears. But simple statements don't fly.

We did go to all sites to get those start times. The japanese site is actually written in english numerics - so you can figure between the kanje that it starts on the 12th at 18:00 their time - all other start times have been confirmed as well.
