Day 19 - [Voice]

Aug 11, 2011 13:12

Do you personally count your birthdays here in Luceti towards your age?

[Simply and casually, as if today isn't his birthday. Which he somewhat neglected to mention to people he knows. Some people may pick up on that fact from the question.

It's mostly because Kouki thinking on how Luceti usually treat 'time', when he notice the date. Which lead him ( Read more... )

[Well, he's perplexed. Even here, a birthday should still be a birthday.]

There's no reason not to count them, right?

[Voice] de_bel_survivor August 11 2011, 05:22:05 UTC

That's true. But I like to hear what people thinks.

[Voice] squaring August 11 2011, 17:26:52 UTC

Ah, I guess it's nice to share things like that. [It brings people together!!]

Technically, wouldn't something like this depend a little on everyone's worlds? I mean, there might be people here who measure years differently, or don't have birthdays to begin with.

[Voice] de_bel_survivor August 11 2011, 23:33:26 UTC

Yeah. I heard of a calendar system that's longer than Earth's, so I'm wondering how they handle birthdays here.

[Voice] squaring August 12 2011, 00:25:30 UTC

Really? [Huh, that's gonna need a little thought.]

I... guess it depends on how much longer it is, right?

[Voice] de_bel_survivor August 12 2011, 03:15:47 UTC

Really.

It would be... [Figured he can mention it.] Twice as long months, 13 months in a year from what I heard.

[Give or take. So that's what, 8 weeks in a month?]

[Voice] squaring August 12 2011, 04:18:46 UTC

[And 104 weeks in a year! ... As long as it's exactly 8 weeks and there aren't any leap years!]... Yeah, that's definitely a different way of doing it.

Maybe they use a lunar calender or something like that? But that doesn't really explain the extra weeks...

[Voice] de_bel_survivor August 12 2011, 05:12:28 UTC

Well, Earth's calendar is mostly based on going around the sun, so... Maybe their world takes longer to go around their own sun?

[Voice] squaring August 12 2011, 20:18:52 UTC

That would explain the longer year. But since we use the moon for months, they'd have to have a slower lunar cycle too... right?

[Voice] de_bel_survivor August 13 2011, 10:43:59 UTC

They would be, in order to fit in the days into the months they have.

[Voice] squaring August 13 2011, 20:01:15 UTC

... Ah, but that only works if they have one moon, like we do.

[Voice] de_bel_survivor August 15 2011, 12:11:50 UTC

That's a good point. I didn't ask about their moon, so that can affect things.

[Voice] squaring August 15 2011, 20:53:19 UTC

Eh... this ended up being more complicated than I thought.

[Voice] de_bel_survivor August 16 2011, 11:27:02 UTC

In the end, it's up to people to decide in Luceti anyway.

[Voice] squaring August 16 2011, 14:39:12 UTC

I guess so. [He sighs.]

Whether you count it or not, a Luceti birthday is probably pretty complicated too.
