Possible Day Ratio Change

Hey guys, the mods have a proposed idea to put past the game.

Currently the game's day ratio is 3:1. Now this usually doesn't affect plots, as one plot can cover only 1-2 days IC time, yet take two or three weeks or even a month OOC to complete. In Legion the day ratio is more for people to keep in mind when it comes to having a general sense of how long their characters have been in the game universe.

Over time, the mods have noticed an issue of players occasionally getting confused over how long their characters have been in game, and we've come to realized that doing it one one-thirds time makes it a little difficult to maintain a sense of how much IC time has passed. Halving how long you've oocly participated in a game is a lot quicker to do mentally, and also easier to have a sense of as you go.

So we're proposing that the day ratio of the game be switched to 2:1. This wouldn't really affect plots, as we all generally backthread those to infinity and assume they took place over a day or a few days. While we feel 1:1 is too fast 2:1 isn't too brisk as far as a sense of time goes, especially since Legion doesn't have many ongoing "daily" events that would be sped up or made more frequent that players would have to keep up with. It also means characters can handwave their CR developing faster, and their characters gaining competence in certain skills and in their education about the game universe faster.

So we'd like to know people's feelings on it and have made a poll.

Open to: Access List, detailed results viewable to: Access List, participants: 17

Would you be okay with the game switching to a 2:1 day ratio?

Yes
17 (100.0%)

No
0 (0.0%)



If you have any questions or concerns, or would like to discuss the possibility with the mods (or other players), you can do so in the comments below.

The poll will be left open until 12/1/16 11:59 PM EST.

Honestly, I think a 1:1 ratio outside of plots really wouldn't hurt that much. Time doesn't really come up at all that much in this game, after all.

Fair 'nuff.
