 "Teppy Time" or "Pluri Time", which is slightly slower than real time, is the internal clock that the game runs on.  It is similar to real time in that 1 Teppy Minute = 1 Real Minute + Server Lag. Teppy Time is therefore close to real time, but not exactly. Although server lag is highly variable, and so Teppy Time is not exactly predictable, a good rule of thumb is Teppy Time is 110% of Real Time. Teppy Time is used to measure duration. Many of the timers in the game are based on Teppy Time. If you are waiting for a chariot ride to be free and is says “5 minutes”, those are 5 Teppy Minutes. The same is true for the duration of food, or basically anything that is a length of time displayed within the game. A good example is the time at a chariot stop. If it says 3 minutes 30 seconds, that is teppy time. So with the 110% rule, it would be 3 minutes 51 seconds real time.
-You might ask yourself: why this complex system?  Why can’t Teppy Time always remain synchronized with real time? The answer is actually quite simple. ATITD is an international game, and to allow the greatest participation in all aspects of the game by the most number of people, time must vary. For example, without [[Talk:Time|Teppy Time]], it might always be daytime in Egypt during the hours you like to play -- which would make [[mushrooms|mushroom]] hunting and [[fishing]] very difficult!

 So heres the breakdown, using the 110% method which is very accurate:

 ***Example: In 3 hours it will be time for your Acro Line when it will be 6pm where you live. You type: {time:1800} since on the 24 hour clock 6 plus 12 = 18. For times at 12 noon and earlier there is no need to add 12 to the number. So something at 6:00am your time would be conveyed as {time:0600}.
