>>22550002Please tell me if you guys want a specific answer, for my personal stance though:
1. Following on the result of the last round of voting, what should be the nature of the common calendar used for the purpose of organising timelines and histories? This is an open-ended question, with the two main factors being voted on being:
>Year 0 of the calendar: Year 0 should be /jp/-/vt/ split. I don't have any suggestions for names.>Current Year: Really don't have a stance, although I agree something not 1700-1800 would be nice. Probably should be at least a few centuries after the split to get everything set up, though.2. Based on the calendar discussed in 1., Should we decide on a loose thread-by-thread timescale? If so, please state your preferred scale e.g. 1 RL day = 1 in-game month. Be noted that non-concrete timescale e.g. "speed of plot" is also permissible.
>I kind of prefer the speed of plot or frozen. Speed of plot is probably better, though, since otherwise the common calendar will quickly go into disuse.3. As suggested by the Sakuran representative, should a non-reverse-engineerable, instantaneous communication system/device limited to the representatives of countries be introduced to the setting? Be noted that it is "not meant to give any significant power to the reps themselves; if another rep replaces a current one they get the device, but rather to explain how they talk to and organise deals with nations on the other side of the globe", according to the suggestion.
>I don't really think it's necessary, since most countries in this world don't have the rep being an in-universe character.
