Rally Timer
When to create a rally so it hits on time.
Exact Exact arithmetic on the values you enter.
How it is calculated
The Rally Timer works backwards from the second you want a rally to hit, and tells the leader exactly when to call it and when to press create.
A rally launches by itself when its preparation timer ends, so creation fixes everything else: departure = creation + preparation, impact = departure + march time. Working backwards, creation = impact − march − preparation.
An optional call-out buffer is subtracted before creation to give members time to join. With a clock time set, every stage is shown in UTC (game time) or local time, and a countdown follows the next stage using real timestamps.
Example
Preparation 5:00 · march 0:42 · buffer 1:00 · impact 21:00:00 UTC Call 20:53:18 · Create 20:54:18 · Depart 20:59:18 · Impact 21:00:00
Questions
- Does the joiners’ march time matter?
- Joiners must arrive at the leader before preparation ends. Use the March Synchronizer to time the joiners; this tool times the rally itself.
- What if the impact time has already passed today?
- The plan moves to the same clock time tomorrow.
