If Six Minutes Equal An Hour....

[nutranurse]

......Then how many days pass in one Real Life Day?
See, I am curious at to how quickly time passes in Sundren. I have seen others servers which set up rules like: One week equals one month, or things along those lines, but Sundren seems to lack that.
So I am curious: What is the rate of time passage in Sundren?

[Rhifox]

Personally I go by RL days, but I prefer RL time passage even as the game world goes by at super quick pace.

[Gothic Rose]

I play with time, and just kind of gloss over the inconsistancies. I generally take it as one RL day is one IG day, give or take, and then when I need to say that a couple have days have passed, I just assume they have.

I also never try to impose my view of time on others, which does lead to inconsistancies (like when Rook said something about being dead for months) but I just ignore them for the sake of having fun.

[undeadsteak]

Yeah, same /w Gothic.


1 rl day = 1 IG day, thats how i look about it... Otherwise, i just cant keep track of that many friggin days, and god most of our chars have REALLY aged if its like 6 minutes = an hour.

[deepshades]

I go with 1RL day = 1GD too... except that I don't feel like RPling a pregnant elf for a whole year.

This in mind I went with the actual in game time which is 6mins = 1 hour.

Even with this... 12 months in game is still about 1 1/2 or 2 months I can't remember all the stupid math.

Anyway I don't impose my time upon others either for obvious reasons.

[Brygun]

Personally I use the +1 time step method for long term stuff

1 RL day = 1 game time week
1 RL week = 1 game time month
1 RL month = 1 game year

Since some characters play children they can play for 6 months and become teens. One year playing lets them become adults.

In terms of skills improving its more reasonable that your character became a super swordsman/mage/cleric over years of their lives not days.


Though I've debated adding "season" between month and year for
1 RL day = 1 game time week
1 RL week = 1 game time month
1 RL month = 1 game season
1 RL season = 1 game year

For all intensive purposes time does not pass on Sundren just for a multitude of reasons. Once we migrate out of the beta stage though the world will evolve through natural progression of various plots.

Time does not pass??

Joe's wife from Family Guy Bonnie comes to mind...

If you didn't want to RP being pregnant for over a year, you shouldn't have gotten pregnant XD

[deepshades]

Oh sure, here comes the retrospective finger pointing bandwagon. *waves* Between the lines people. XD

Maybe those Thayvians need to start selling condoms then

I play 1 RL day as 1 game day when discussing events but when I am actually in game I will mention it getting dark or the sun coming up to add into the RP

But, how will we get our slaves?

[Feydakin]

I can be your slave.

I also prefer the 1 RTD (Real Time Day) = 1 GTD (Game Time Day)

However, some other player was using 6 or 7 GTD for 1 RTD. This would be roughly 1 RTD is equivalent to 1 GT 7 day Week. When I said I did something yesterday (RT), I was actually called on it that the timing was last week (GT). Created a big pissing match. Oh well. Not going there again.

Back to nutranurse and Steaks comment on 6 minutes = an hour...
If, 6 minutes RT = 1 hour GT
Then, 6 minutes RT = 60 minutes GT
Note that GT is a factor of 10 times RT

So, 1 day RT = 10 days GT
And 1 week RT = 10 weeks GT
And 1 month RT = 10 months GT
You get the picture.

Now, I recall hearing "I arrived in Sundren a ten-day ago." being used. What is that?! Could Sundren have a 10 day week? Ah, let's not go there... confusion galore. Remember that GT is a factor of 10 times RT. Apparently, "a Ten-day ago" means 10 days ago GT, which is one day ago RT, which is "yesterday" in RT. The character arrived in Sundren "Yesterday" in RT!

Translation: "Ten-day" is an ingame reference that tells you that a certain event is ten days passage of GT, which is easily converted to 1 day of passage RT, which makes it "yesterday" or "tomorrow" depending on whether you are referring to the past or the future!

Multiples of the Ten-day convert directly to numbers of days in RT.
Example: 3 Ten-days ago means 3 days ago RT!

This method allows both participants in the conversation to be aware of the disparity in time between GT and RT and be able to easily know what time is being referenced.

Faerunian weeks are 10 days long. So a Tenday is a week.
