You know how 1 month = 2 moons and all that? I've often noticed that time passes amazingly fast. I'm not on for hours every day, Cinder is sometimes absent, and it's hard to answer to threads more than two, three, four times a week maximum. So I was thinking... we could lengthen that time. Instead of one month for two moons, how about two months for one season and otherwise using timestamping?
Timestamping is something I was introduced to on another roleplaying forum. The season would be decided ahead of time (for now, it's leaf-fall), but the roleplayer who begins a thread chooses the month and day, and of course the time. For example, say someone wanted to roleplay an event that went on early in this leaf-fall. We will assume that there are thirty days in every month. At the start of their post, either in OOC or in a little header of the bold indented kind, they would write:
In any case, do you agree with this new time management style?

[TIMESTAMP:] early leaf-fall, day 5.The bit between brackets is the header title example. Early leaf-fall means the first month of leaf-fall (then it's middle of // late), and day 5 means it's the fifth day of that month. Then we wouldn't have characters aging super fast. For example, Morningstar is now going on his sixties xDD I'm actually thinking of killing him off. It would make less living to care for. I'm seriously neglecting a good part of my cats (Moonshard, Cottonseed, Ravenwing, Frostghoul, to name a few).
In any case, do you agree with this new time management style?
