Tell me if you like it... I'll explain why at the bottom.

1NS Year = 2 RL Day
1NS Month= 4 RL Hours
1NS Day = 4 RL Minutes
1NS Hour = 1 RL Minute
1NS Minute= 1 RL Second

For simplicity, we will make 1 NS Year 2 RL Days for starters. Now, we are going to presume that there are 12 months in the NS Year; therefore, we take the number of hours in 2 days (48 hours) and divide by 12, which equals 4 hours for a month. We take the hours of the month and convert them into minutes, which gives us 240 minutes. We divide this by 60, giving us 4 RL Minutes to 1 NS day. Since it will be near impossible to calculate hours and minutes and keep consistent, for conveniency I have set 1 hour to 1 minute and 1 minute to 1 second. This allows for 60 minutes to an hour, and now 60 hours to a day... somewhat lengthy, but you do what you have to.

Comments?

im good with it.

im all for it

Good to see it's getting support. If it gets enough, I'm going to ask to have it stickied.

Hm... I think time is free form in these forums, I mean people often have a couple hours IC events happen over a couple weeks OOC. So I doubt many people will take this on...

Good point... times scheduled, people have to come and go... meh, good idea while it lasted, eh?

That depends on the RP.
If it's a diplomacy RP, so this is fine, but it you're RPing a 10sq km battlefield which may take more than a day, it's not. :)

I'm not for it at all. NS is a freeform RP site, and it allows each member to choose a calendar. During an RP, it's up to those that are RPing to choose a sufficient calendar. :?

Besides, if I used that calendar, then my current President would have been ruling for eighteen years. :shock: And he's still 32..tsk. :P
