A week and a tenday are the same thing in the setting.Security_Blanket wrote: ↑Fri Jan 15, 2021 9:22 pmI don't see how this makes IC sense for everyone to now start saying "Threeday" or whatever. I say keep it simple and keep it IC. 1 RL day = a few days, 2 RL days = a week, 3 RL days = a tenday.
what would fred rogers do?

Yeah... Not in Neverwinter Nights. The Calendar of Harptos has ten days in a 'week,' and three 'weeks' in a month, which sure, that works great. But NwN has 28 days in a month.

Don't even get me started on it.
Done.
Re: Time Change - What to call Tomorrow?
Its kinda weird to call it a threeday because this implies that nobody in faerun can pluralise day.
Tenday is an established unit, threeday makes it sound like we just arent slapping an s on the end.

Re: Time Change - What to call Tomorrow?
The real galaxy brain play will be saying "in a tenday" and meaning in 3 IRL days, and watching confusion follow. It will be even better than translating times to EST during EDT so the event starts an hour earlier than when people think it's going to happen.

Triday.
Triiiiiday.
Tridaaaaaay.

Re: Time Change - What to call Tomorrow?
Getting all fancy and nomenclature-y is just gonna confuse the non-native English speakers. I vote threeday.

Sooner or later someone will use a phrase, and people will either like or won't, pick it up or not. And when people pick it up, it'll be shared around and, before you know it, whatever word it is = it'll find it's way into common usage. But it's often a little hard to predict what it'll be. So I guess we'll just have to wait and see!

Re: Time Change - What to call Tomorrow?
I don’t know why we need an IC term for a meta narrative conceit (that a rl day is three in game days), if you need to reference a RL time it’s best to just explicitly say that RL time and eliminate any confusion. “In a few days” is as precise as you should need to be in character.
Re: Time Change - What to call Tomorrow?
You know you could also just be more specific and give the exact number of days. I mean if I was playing at night tomorrow morning is the next day, tomorrow afternoon is two days away and tomorrow night is then three days away.
Is it in the next 8ish hours? Tomorrow.
Is it in the next 16ish hours? Day after tomorrow.
Is it closer to 24 hours from now? In a few days.

what would fred rogers do?
Re: Time Change - What to call Tomorrow?
lol really? I see it used all over the place all the time, both tencyclee and tenday.
I simply say it how i am going tosay it and send them a tell with the RL meaning. if they have tells turned off, oh well.
Re: Time Change - What to call Tomorrow?
Doesn't everyone else just say whatever sounds about right IC and then tell the person the exact real life date and time when it matters?
Re: Time Change - What to call Tomorrow?
Hey all!
So previously we had our pay schedules in our guild set to pay out members on a IRL weekly basis, which to in game translated to about roughly just over three months, which we called a ‘Quarter.’
With the time change, seems like time is going to move a bit slower? So each day is three days instead of a ten day?
So then this means 1 IRL week translates to about 21 days right? Three weeks?
Am I right on this or please correct me if I am wrong.
Thank you!

Hedgehog, there's a FAQ about the time changes: viewtopic.php?f=13&t=32103

Re: Time Change - What to call Tomorrow?
Use halfweek instead of threeday to represent a RL day.
1 tenday = 10 days
1 week = 7 days
1 halfweek = 3.5 days
This works out because one RL day is 3.3 in-game days.
So really, you have 1 halfweek, 1 week (2 RL days), 1 week-and-half, 2 weeks etc.

A few could mean 3 or 4 OR approximately 20-40% of the total (a few [6] of the 20 council members were in attendance)

Re: Time Change - What to call Tomorrow?
Technically old English had...
Tomorrow (one day from now)
Overmorrow (two days from now)
Thirdmorrow (three days from now)
I'd just use Thirdmorrow
Tomorrow (one day from now)
Overmorrow (two days from now)
Thirdmorrow (three days from now)
I'd just use Thirdmorrow

I saw a notice on the boards in the hub for a gathering in a tricycle I just started giggling.
