"Time" For A Question
How is time calculated in Micros? To put it another way, what's the full date, approximately? I believe I may go with the actual standard Gregorian date for Barnum, just to simplify things.

Re: "Time" For A Question
There are a few different calendars in use, so it's mainly whatever you feel fits best to your nation. Some nations still use the Gregorian, and community-wide things like sports fixtures and map updates are given real-world dates and schedules, but the most popular in-sim calendar is the Norton (AN). This works on a month-to-year basis, so each real-world month is one AN year on Micras; it's pretty easy to translate real dates into AN too as there's an online converter, but there's just a bit of a learning curve with how to write the date format
Others include ASC, which is a year-per-day calendar that used to be popular but now generally runs too fast for how we do things in real time, and a few others that kinda only really have a specific use within a particular nation (my own Craitland has a year-per-three-months calendar for its elections but that doesn't get used for anything else, for example)...
