I'd have to agree; your playerhood is most certainly not dependent on
when the EC Initialized the Pause, since all changes to timing take
place immediately a 4th PEP becomes Paranoid.  Now whether rday
changes occur at all during an Emergency is ambiguous at best; if
they're "relative to absolute time" they don't occur, if they're
"relative to game time" they're delayed, and if they fit in neither
category they occur on schedule.
