Shinobi Legends Date/Time
« on: October 31, 2010, 01:30:37 AM »

I searched for this as well, though, admittedly I got anywhere between seven - One hundred and forty-seven pages, and so it's possible I didn't look through them perfectly...>_>

As you make your way down the misty trail to the city, a lumberjack mumbles that it's 10:09 pm as he passes you by.

Another person whispers in your ear, "Today is Kodeturselv 27, 552. It is Kendaei."

Is there any method to the date/time in Shinobi Legends? I've been trying to keep track of the date and stuff, but to one that doesn't know japanese/greek/egyptian/whatever that is, I can't understand what Kendaei and Kodeturself is; I suppose it's like day and month. I'm not sure. But, I do remember it being something like 647 or 500-something in 2006 on the day I joined; however, I don't remember the [[supposed day and month, or potentially millenia,]] that accompanied it. However, I've also seen it below '552,' so, my question is, again, is there any method to the date/time in Shinobi Legends? Makes it kinda difficult for those who wish to role-play with this as a factor, though we'd all be skeletons dancing in their graves by now...>_<
Again, if this has already been discussed, my apologies. I did not find it when searching, however.
Thank you,
Darkshinobi

Well. It works on server-newsdays and counts itself up.

The calendar has 13 months, 30 days each, 8 days per week.

I did not tamper with it, so it's the original Logd Calendar module.

If you have better suggestions for names (I believe in Japan the months are basically just counted like "1st month" "2nd month"). I am open for that.

We could adapt the server newdays (3) to a better round-robin-system.

21 days per week would mean you get a nice 7-day-rotation.

And so forth.

I think it'd be sorta neat if each gameday counted as an ingame calendar day with day 0 year 0 as the very first gameday played on SL (or LoN, if you're willing to go back that far). It's probably too hard to find the exact time it did and work from there, though...

Only the month, should be in the wiki too.

We could use the 1st of the month too.

So if the game started August 1, 2005, then today is the 1925th day of the realm, which is 5775 gamedays.

I just realized leap years screw everything up, though.
