As you all can see i'm new to this game. So forgive my stupid question but i haven't found an answer yet.

In NS 1 month = RL how much ?

And if someone could give me other times also i would be very thankfull

NS hour, week, year and so on....

Thank you very much

Truthfully, there isn't really an NS hour, week, month, or year. It's just that the population of your nation grows by a few million each day in RL; the population increases faster as more time goes by.

Ok thank you. So if i would RP with someone we can makeup our own times ? It clears thing up a bit when you can say "my fleet is there in 2NS hours" And before this we have made rules like " 1 NS hour is 0.5 RL hours" is this right ?

Yer. In rp it's all up2 you. But somtimes it just on a post-a-go ratio. For example, if you post, your opponent (if its a war) will post, and then wait for you to post again before himself posting. So noone 'jumps' ahead.

Ok thank you too. I'm getting a better by the post :)


Map of my nation is nearly completed, and "world factbook" info is also almost ready, with personel details.

I think I remeber that 1 RL day is 1 NS year. Or course, that can be modified in RP, like you wouldn't want a prime-minster over there for a whole year, and still get nothing done! :lol:

I'm willing to bet that you'll be able to set a NS time to RL time ratio in an RP.

Demi-officially, for budgets, construction projects, etc. NS time is one year to one real life day.

For RPs it can change to a few NS minutes per day, and most of the time time itself is fairly fluid, people do make time-jumps often.

There is no real set conversion between real time and NS time.... but anything over a year a day will most likely be frowned apon.

Also, your nation can be in any time, e.g. Mine's in the year ~3500, but you can't switch time around for construction projects.

RP as needed. Thats my motto. Using the NS year = 1 RL day my ruler is 337 years old. eet me (not an sp).

Not every. A lot. I like helping people. Is that so wrong? Also my regional forum is a little slow so I have to entertain myself somehow. Who would have thought running a forum for your entire region would be so easy? I guess its because we have <100 members. Anyhoo I might be doing this a lot because I've been playing for 337 days and I know, like, everthing about NS and I loved JG.

There is not only one real NS time. For example, in RP:s, a week in real world means maybe a few minutes in NS. And sometimes, a day in real world is like 10 years of research. Sometimes, it's 30 seconds in real world as 2 months.

I'm confused??

As many others, I go by a 1 NS day = 1 RL year; in RPs, this changes to 1 RL minute=1 RL hour/day, depending on the RP.

When I am constructing anything, or doing research, I would tend to go for a ratio of 2 RL days = 1/2 RL year, just to make it more 'realistic' and make myself less prone to accusations of being a godmoding n00b.
