"Tedium is not immersive."

A great motto for anyone who actually knows FR lore well enough to do the aforementioned project. Following strict FR timeframes would be totally unneccessary.

Yes, but instead of making a constructive post that possibly criticizes the use of the calendar for IC events, you just come off looking like an asshole. You don't have the right to dictate how players use the tools available to them. That is reserved to the DM's. It's one thing to have an opinion, and another to attempt to derail the constructive attempts of others.

Trying to strictly rational the difference between real time and game time always is a waste of energy. The calendar is one of many tools, that allow for players to collaborate and schedule events of importance. They do not have to tie directly to an exact in game date in order to be effective or useful. The exact in game date for an event can be posted or referenced elsewhere as the event draws closer.

In the end, it's about using common sense, and common sense involves less troll-like behavior.

The whole 'weekly' thing. First of all, the FR calendar is divided into months of three tendays (no weeks), second, even if the FR calendar did have weeks, one week OOC time does not correspond to one week IC time, therefore naming something 'weekly' on this calendar would only make it weekly OOC, not weekly IC.
 
Well, I was just muckin' around. I didnt think it would go right down in to 'game time'. But hell bearly any of you knew it was there. I figure at wednesday midnight everyone should try and theive something IG.
Mhwahaha!

I'm quite sure a day IC is supposed to be a day OOC, or has that changed?

Stop being an e-paladin, it's not getting you anywhere.

Oh, is there a calendar?
