I find this a fascinating idea, but isn't it a bit hard to realise it? For instance, to update the year every four weeks could be a bit complex for people, I think.

We already do that. One month is one year. |

How would this apply to IC history for nations? Everything would have to be converted to this era system, and for people (like me) that list a lot of dates in their factbooks, that would be such a pain to convert everything. |

@Herargon: If this Act passes I will prepare a full calendar which tracks the passage of IC time in relation to OOC time for the foreseeable future. This will mean that in order to work out a date all a person need do is check this reference calendar. @Airatania: This Act does not prevent nations from maintaining their own calendar systems for internal use, it merely establishes a regional standard by which the passage of time can be tracked uniformly. If you prefer to keep a record of historic dates using a different system or format (I in fact do this myself) then you are welcome to do so. I would however advise that for the sake of avoiding argument and issues of continuity you avoid using direct references to the AD/CE system. |

So, are we also assuming that everything that occurs IRL before 2150 is canon? I ask because of the inquiry/proposal on the RMB that we undertake an alternate history of 1930s earth. |

Isn't the year 2700-2725? |

@Tyvenia - I would say that the affairs of 'Ancient Terra' be fixed as canon up to the year 2000, with our alternate history deriving from that point onwards, with some exceptions. Provided an element of a nation's history does not affect the histories of others, or radically alter canon or human history itself I would argue that nothing is fixed. However the matter of IC canon is not really the subject of this Act, merely the system by which time passes. @Unibearia - Yes and no. Our best guess is that the year should be between 2770 - 2800. However the fragmented nature of our IC continuity at various points due to OOC events means that a precise year is impossible to calculate and would be arbitrary even if we did. This Act intends to remedy to widespread confusion, and hopefully address the repeat arguments people have about the date, by setting out a clear system by which the passage of time is measured and the date calculated. |
