Nominations for Most Confused New Player Award

Well, 1400 could be considered a new century of sorts.

[Sunni Daez]

When it reach 1000 several refered to it as a milenium..(?)

[Nalaris]

Maybe we should record new years by one hundred days? Why not, it's Cantr, not reality.

Technically, five years (100 days) is a half decade. I've called it a centuriday before, but that's an entirely made up word. I've also thought of calling it a semidecade. I usually count those starting every +20 days because my eldest character was spawned +20 one of these new centuridays. Every ten years (200 days) is a decade so that's simple enough, but that would make day 2000 the end of the first century. I do wish I had a spawn on day 400 though, which means that they would've been technically born on day 0, and would feasibly turn 100 on day 2000.

Anyways, you can call it what you want to call it

But to get back on topic, I think I convinced one of my old IRL friends (you'd wonder how I still have any from couping myself up with Cantr for so long) to retaste Cantr.

I agree with whoever it was who said Quintade. It comes natural to the Cantr way of keeping track of time.

Yes, although I wish I could think of a better name for it. Quintade just sounds weird to me:

Thirsty? Life wearing you down? Tired from all the physical exertion of your job? Playing sports? Working out?

Try new Quintade! It's got all the essential vitamins and minerals you'll need to replenish after a hard day. Four out of five personal trainers recommend Quintade over the other leading brands.

And most importantly, it just tastes great! So today when you leave work, or the gym, stop by and grab a Quintade at your local grocer.

From the makers of Caffeine IV. When chugging a Jolt Cola and eating coffee straight from the can isn't enough, Caffeine IV's the thing for you.

Why don't we just say 5 years?

[Hellzon]

Why don't we just say 5 years?

For the same reason that we don't just say 10 years.

New year sounds good... though I had one discussion on 1400 when someone kept insisting it was a new century.
Actually, at least two had that thought in different places, but one of them saw the mistake that it was only 70 years, before I even said anything, while the other one refused any mention of how it was day 1400, instead of year 1400.
Which reminds me, there seem to be some French who refer to dates by year instead of day while in gameplay they actually work by days.
Seen a few of their notes where they kept journals, and every day was called a year, yet they talk about the projects and stuff they experience by day.
For example, in this way:
"Year 1412: Today we started building a cottage. With this many of us working on it, it will be done by 1415."
(That was a made-up example)
So... maybe I can nominate a bunch of French players?
Though in honesty, the only strange thing I saw there is that instead of "day" they write "year" at first, but switch to days further down the line.
