Theoretically, everyone is then getting thier times as unix time, give or take a small error for lag reasons.

So I'm assuming once it's synced, client computers will do the addition of seconds and minutes and etc in a timeout loop? It's not accurate since the calculation will take cpu speed and throw off following loops. Plus, as Spark has said before, having a 24 hour clock will mean that half of your players will always play in the dark while the other half play in the light.
As for excaliber7388's problem, i don't see anything that would cause everyone to have different times. However, setbackpal is very outdated and should no longer be used. Instead, replace with seteffect.
