Assuming the server or the base in France... Paris? 'cause all the summer/winter gifts are following Paris time.... but nope.
My timezone? Nope, not at all, that's why I was kicked out many times, including tournaments, and has lost many ELO that I've took so many effort to earn.

.... so which or who's timezone? I really don't know. So, I don't really do fast turn-based now, and lack of interest in normal turn-based too, too slow.
Every fast turn based game says when you're expected to play at that table, it's a 12 hour portion of the day. When I say "wrong time zone", I'm referring to people whose regular waking hours overlap poorly with that 12 hour period.

On each fast turn based table, it displays the times that table is expected to play. It will always show you those times in _your_ time zone. You can verify this is right by seeing when the timer starts or stops running for people at the start or end of the day - you'll see a moon icon (for night) when the clocks stop running. If you're seeing times displayed in a time zone that's not yours, that likely means your computer or phone's time zone isn't set right.
