Cantr Calendar

[Joshuamonkey]

That's a good calender. 1600 is on a 13th

Friday the 13th is in October this year.

[UloDeTero]

Umm...

Day 1500 is on Thur 13th April 2006.

Day 1600 is on Sat 22nd July 2006.

Day 1683 is on Friday 13th October 2006.

There was also a Friday 13th in January.


Added bonus: 6th June 2006 (6/6/06) is Day 1554
1 + 5 + 5 + 4 = 15 ... 1 + 5 = 6!

[Joshuamonkey]

Oh, I meant 1500.

Too bad it isn't on 1551 or 1515.

[DudeIRok]

thats awsome! good job!

[SwimFan]

What day is turn 2k?

[SekoETC]

August 27th?

[Chris Johnson]

c. August 26th 13:45 GMT to August 27th 13:45 GMT assuming no server issues (and I could be an hour out either way )

[UloDeTero]

So I guess 13:45 GMT is the Cantrian midnight...

Just a question. Why is Cantrarian time expressed in days, not years? I can understand that it started out that way when the world was young, but now that Cantr is over 100 years old, shouldn't we start changing our time to years instead of days?

1. Don't fix it if it ain't broken...
2. What is the real need for changing it to years? By that logic, we in the real world should be using centuries or millennia, instead of days or years... don't see that happening either.
3. Cantrians aren't lazy, like us humans. They have a biological clock that is attuned to days, hours and seconds, and don't mind using it.
If anyone knows the "Storm"-comic series, I vaguely recall there being an edition in which he went to this other world and tried to blend into with the population, tried to buy an earth watch, and got unmasked because he used the watch to see what time it was while everyone else on that world had a biological clock that followed a specific rythm that told them the time of day.
Somehow, personally I imagine it works a bit similar with Cantrians.

[Joshuamonkey]

It would mess up the whole age thing too.

[faolan]

And it would get confusing going "yes, in year (what year we're in?) we had a sudden change and someone suddenly spouting ideas that we have to use years rather than days." Most people aren't big on change, and I like the days. Everybody should know that there are 20 days in a year, and the years don't really matter to Cantrians except for when we turn twenty five or go from twenty to thirty to forty etc... I'd get confused on where we are in the year because to me a year sort of goes with when my character spawned. I don't know.

[Joshuamonkey]

I like the fact that most of my characters will make it past 100 in two RL years. The probability of me living past 100 in real life is much less.

I've just finished converting the calendar to Spanish, though I'd appreciate some feedback on my translation attempts.
I redid the colours and general layout too.

Here are links to all four in a nice, neat list:

English
Esperanto
Polski (Polish)
Español (Spanish)

If anyone wants to translate the extra couple sentences to Polish, please let me know, then I'll be able to edit them.
Oh, and if you want a calendar like these in your language, PM me!

[Joshuamonkey]

lol, you got the Spanish and Polish links mixed up. Other than that, it looks good, although the Spanish calendar does start with Monday (lunes). They also don't generally capitalize their days of the week.

Nice avatar.
