Time?

[Xheng]

One RL day = how much RPing time?

[Bhalman]

I would say a week or 2 and one RL week = 1 month

[Xheng]

anyone know exactly how much real time is to roleplaying time?

It's what ever you want it to be. Roleplaying is like a story - you can skip backwards and forwards in time as much as you like.

 

So long as it's still understandable

It usually stands at 1 Day = 1 week, but during actual RPs it slows down to real time (or something near to that)

Actually, we've discussed this before. Can't remember for the life of me where, though. The RP guide-lines we have say this:

4) Time

 

One RL day = One NS year is how most people work it out. That?s all I have to say about Time.

 

It is commonly considered that one day in reality is the equivalent to one year in the roleplaying world. However, during times of war, players ofter slow it down, to facilitate and render it more realistic.

Which does strike me as rather unrealistic, as my current Emperor would have been reigning for coming on 300+ years.

 

I'm not sure, to be honest. I'd say anywhere between a week and a month for an RP year, whilst in most RP's events tend to happen consectutively, or they use the actually day when they are posted. For example, where I to have a naval force got to another area, and said they won't arrive for another day or so travel time, I wouldn't RP them arriving for another RL day or so. But then that's me.

 

I suppose we could use this thread to reach a consenus...?

well in my opinion, i would have it as RL day = 1 RP week, but in wars and such, we souls slow it down to your example Tag, 1 RL day = 1 RP day. thats what i see as a good deal.

I guess in the NS guidlelines, they're talking about your nation as a nation. I still think growth of 5million people a year is a bit unrealistic, but.. meh
