The Empire is now on Imperial time!In the last Inner Council meeting, the Inner Council has unanimously decided to introduce Imperial time as the official timekeeping standard of the Empire, in contrast to the Yliakum year.
Henceforth, the time passing shall be recorded as such: The largest unit of time is the Imperial cycle, subdivided into six years. [1 Imperial cycle = 1 RL year]. Each Imperial year has 365 Yliakum days with 24 hours each. Due to the nature of time measurement recently improved by the Arcane Force, it occurs as a more natural way to keep track of time. Cycles after the passing of the timekeeping act will be known abbreviated as "AT", or after timekeeping, those before with "BT". The date 0 (hours).1 (st day).1 (st year).0 (th cycle) AT corresponds to the Yliakum date of [21.3.2015 0:00 UTC].
Imperial time shall henceforth be the only time used on Imperial documents and records.
P.S. The next guild dinner will be held at 9.47.1.0 AT.
[A little OOC note: Right now, it is hard to write IC history documents, since the time in PS is always stuck at 750AY. To remedy this, we will be using our own time that, in the timescales of days, corresponds to PS time, however, has a neat longest unit of time that corresponds to exactly a RL year, hence building a bridge between the two times. If the PS clock ever starts moving, we then simply need to set a refernce point of Imperial time to Yliakum time to fix our records.
To determine time more easily, I have written a converter RL time <-> Imperial time. It is an .exe file and thus should work only on windows. If someone wants to compile for mac/linux, let me know. The
link. Also, the converter should automatically output your own timezone, so no more confusion about that
