To add, the Galactic Standard Calendar, what I'm used to, has (technically) 365.25 days a year. Every four years it adds and extra day to February.
Based on the cycles of ancient Terra Primaire. The Commonwealth standardized it to make the Empire feel special.

[chikaidestroyer]

Interesting; I'll make note of that. I suppose in your world, you have most matters of life and society down to a well-studied science.

[compos-mentis.livejournal.com]

Yeah. There're people that'll still hold faith over science though, if you push them.

[This next part takes a while, but this is Ceasar's brother, and Ceasar is almost a companion to her, so she adds it. Albert probably won't realize what the admission is to her] To my people, a "day" was the time it took the voidworld to orbit it's suns -- 285 standard days. The planet spun at the same speed that it revolved, so "day" and "year" are the same. To clarify time, we used "cycles," which are about forty-five standard years.

I suppose that doesn't help though.

[chikaidestroyer]

Faith will always its way into society. There will always be those that see more than what logic dictates.

Your system seems much more complexed since things span out beyond one planet. It doesn't much help coming up with something here, but it provides a huge contrast to others' norm. What was the average lifespan of someone in your world?

[kid-in-red.livejournal.com]

That's a lot of numbers...

[chikaidestroyer]

Quite. A bit overwhelming, but hopefully understandable, Lloyd?

[kid-in-red.livejournal.com]

Um.

Maybe?

[chikaidestroyer]

...Well, I could try to explain, if you like. We may eventually use one of those listed systems for our calendar.

[cherub-gardios.livejournal.com]

...None of those terms look familiar. Here, for clarification for anyone from my world:

Weekdays (7):
* Remday
* Lunaday
* Ifritday
* Undineday
* Sylphday
* Loreleiday
* Gnomeday

Months (13):
* Rem Decan
* Sylph Decan
* Undine Decan
* Gnome Decan
* Ifrit Decan
* Shadow Decan
* Shadow Redecan
* Ifrit Redecan
* Gnome Redecan
* Undine Redecan
* Sylph Redecan
* Luna Redecan
* Lorelei Redecan

24 hours per day, 765 days a year.

[kid-in-red.livejournal.com]

...765 days a year?

[cherub-gardios.livejournal.com]

Yep.

How long is your year?

[kid-in-red.livejournal.com]

Uhh... 365 if I'm remembering right.

...Guy, um. How old are you?

[chikaidestroyer]

A very different calendar system, length-wise. How long is a month in your world?

[cherub-gardios.livejournal.com]

[[ooc: I'm definitely making this up since I can't find it anywhere.]]

* Rem Decan- 60 days
* Sylph Decan- 60 days
* Undine Decan- 59 days
* Gnome Decan- 56 days
* Ifrit Decan- 60 days
* Shadow Decan- 57 days
* Shadow Redecan- 60 days
* Ifrit Redecan- 59 days
* Gnome Redecan- 60 days
* Undine Redecan- 60 days
* Sylph Redecan- 59 days
* Luna Redecan- 58 days
* Lorelei Redecan- 57 days


Does that help?

[wise_maiden]

Oh! You seem to have made progress with your project as well.

[chikaidestroyer]

Indeed. It's been nice having a steady project to focus on. I have been formulating my studies based off of what seem to be the more common calendars. It would make sense to have a calendar that the majority can accept.

You never told me you were a professor, Miss Raine.

[wise_maiden]

I see. The days here flow similar to what I'm familiar with. It must be quite an adjustment for others who aren't used to the system.

I didn't? I suppose that may have been the timing... but yes, I am.

[chikaidestroyer]

Yes, Lloyd was telling me your calendar system is similar to what I've noted. The calendar differences make one wonder if the Malnosso are capable of bending us to follow the same growth rates; one month for us could be a day to someone else in our respective worlds.

It's always pleasing to meet or know others with an academic background. Do you research, or primarily teach?

[goldenfirefly.livejournal.com]

You've been making a calender system?

[chikaidestroyer]

Trying to. I'm not much of an astronomer, so this has been pretty much bookwork.

How are you feeling, Stella?

[goldenfirefly.livejournal.com]

It's very impressive. Of course, that comes with everything that you do. ♥

Ah, I... I'm feeling a little better. [contemplating telling him...]

[chikaidestroyer]

Ah, you flatter me. It's really not much, in terms of a grand design.

That's good to hear. Perhaps it's a spring ailment, if you're the only one showing symptoms.

[ooc: I'm curious what their baby will be like. :o Male, female, pure Filial, Orerines/Ferines/Filial... I can't wait to find out.]

[themoonuplifts.livejournal.com]

So smart! We do kind of need a calendar, don't we?

Need any help?

[chikaidestroyer]

That's the hope. Maybe we can establish some boundaries and plans with a calendar in place.

...Hmm. Do any of the systems I listed look familiar to you?

[themoonuplifts.livejournal.com]

Hopefully~ ♥

Yep! Sunday through Saturday, 365 days a year (not counting the leap year which gives us an extra day in February!), 12 months. All that junk!
