Night and Day

[Josephpowers]

there is 8 hours in a day...
how about 4 hours day 4 hours night... make a sun/moon icon somewhere?... so characters can tell if it is day or night? I think it would add to the roleplay of the game more.

what do you think?

or even a simple message saying.. its getting light. its getting dark.
even though that might spam the events... but who cares?

I think this has been suggested or at least spoken about... The main problem with this is that certain people would always be playing at night... Unless the time shifted ahead an hour everyday so that we all have time to play during the day...

yeah but the night and day wouldnt effect the game at all..

it's already set in stone that there are 8 hours in a day... 20 days in a year...

so it wouldnt actually be changing anything... except allowing you to see if its daytime or nighttime?

and there are 24 hours in real life... so that means that there are 3 cantr days in one real life day... so people playing at night or day.... in real life.. will see day and night in the game.

Exactly... it affects A LOT of Rp issues... Cantr is about many things and one important one is Roleplay...

Except that a Cantr hour is equal to three RL hours and one Cantr day has exactly the same length as an Earth day.

and players aren't from the same gmt... then if here is night, maybe for you is already night

Discussed previously. It's fine as it is.
