I've brought in a few more refugees.

Also, since month 13 came and went without us doing an Autumn Equinox, coupled with the fact that we have 13 months, I placed the A.E. on Month 13, Day 15 (6 days from current).  I would the festival to be detailed, but anyone can do it - I just don't want it to be skipped by accident.

For finite types, like human beings, getting the mind around the concept of infinity is tough going.  Apparently, the same is true for cows.

I've introduced the relief efforts, so Bros. Aval and Perita should be gone until the end of month 13. I tried to bring some "buttery wholesomeness" into the autumn fest - as a calm before the storm, that is Ish's attack of the bounty hunters. Probably sometime in month 14.

I can't wait for this next excitement. You introduced it, Ish, so I say you should post the attack scenario! :)

Sure thing - I'll do it near the end of the 14th month, so we can get a few posts in before then.  Anyone seen Neubert?  He started this, but hasn't posted in a little while now.

btw, I might have been unclear, but Hull kicked the bucket during the storm.

[blockquote=The Elf with the Elements]
12 Days Per Week
2 Weeks per Month
16 Months Per Year

There should also be 4 intercalary days, one for each of the Solstices/Equinoxes that occur. With that, each year would have a total of 388 days. I'd also suggest that the New Year begin on the Spring Equinox. [/blockquote]

which I love.

Okay, so each season is 4 months then, which actually gives me a bit of a mistake in the placement of the autumnal equinox, so we may want to fix that possibly?  Also, going into the 13th month now, I'm assuming is autumn. so winter begins between the 16th and 1st month?  If so, I'm really confused about how we started, back in month 1, which would have been the dead of winter, but we didn't really play it like it was winter... I suppose we'll just say it was a very mild winter?

So, just go get it straight then, we're in the midst of winter right now, and on Month 1, we'll go into spring?

We are on month 13 out of 16.
We started in the very beginning of spring.  4 months of spring.
then we had 4 months of summer, and 4 months of fall,  We should be going in the foirst of the winter months,
Month 14 and 15 should be the worst of the winter, then month 16 should start to reverse the trend to spring.

I think we should pick an equitorial differential that could help our sorry asses out here.  Say, the equivalent of the District of Columbia?

I'll let you do that ;)  And when you said "13 out of 24," you meant "13 out of 16," right?  Cuz if not, you've really just messed with my mind...

Hey everyone. I have been hugely busy the last 2+ weeks, and I am sorry I suddenly disappeared.
I have finally had time to read up on all the threads and posts I have missed and should be back online regularly.

I also want to say at the same time that I am thrilled to see that this project can and has continued to run by itself.
So far I really like what has been posted and proposed, but I need a little time to get back to speed with everything that has transpired.

Lovely work everyone, and if anyone new would like to join in on the fun, please do so :)

PS. My observation is that the thread will continue until it feels like work, as stated by LV, where it will die. Then a new thread/town with a new location and premise can be started.
If what I just wrote didn't make sense, just ask. Though it probably doesn't make any sense to me either. :P
