Getting a player's local time

I guess if needs be, you could always present some sort of dialog box to users asking for their timezone and then work it out serverside using some offset.

Doesn't need to be done serverside, at least not if it doesn't have to be exact. You could do it using timevar, which is synced between client and server. Only increments by 1 every 5 seconds, but hey, that should be enough ;D
