Time zones are wrong for NA

I live in the central time zone.  We are -6 hours GMT, on the cRPG website I have to choose -7 hours GMT for it to show up as my correct time.

That is because it says you are offsetting yourself from the server time, not GMT. Note that you set yourself -7 hours, not -7 hours GMT. GMT is not mentioned anywhere.
I'm not normal and I don't pretend so, my approach is pretty much a bomb crescendo.
Death is a fun way to pass the time though, several little bullets moving in staccato.
The terror of my reign will live on in infamy, singing when they die like a dead man's symphony.

I think its CET, because I'm on GMT+1 and I dont have a offset set.
The logic of war seems to be that if a belligerent can fight he will fight.

Well that's a good explanation, but seems kind of weird not to use GMT when doing time settings.  Oh well, it's easy enough to verify it's correct on the user side.
