I love, I Love, I Love My Calendar ... hmm
Song - Calendar Girl. But for Jorune I think it would be Calendar Ke.
Recent correspondence for Jorune needs some clarification on dates, and I got tangled up in the terminal condition I have which is called "Joe's Brain" (it's going to kill me) and wanted to make a couple of clarifications.
The current year on Jorune is 3517. CR - Colonial Reckoning.
The formula for conversion to Jorune year has been:
- Current year in the Gregorian calendar
- Plus 1500
- Minus 1
(I have no idea how this was determined other than Sholari's whim.)
So this is 3517 CR. The year for a game that would start in the next twelve months.
However, Year Zero on Jorune is 2203 AD, 23rd Century.
So the year 3517 CR is year 5820 AD (2203+3
617) on Earth. If it still exists
But probably not - there are differences in year lengths and day lengths. I'll dig out those number and hope for a spreadsheet formula to give that conversion.
I seriously doubt they will be using an A.D. calendar, or CE, in the Fifty-Seventh Century.
But I'm narrow-minded.
Don't get your panties in a bunch because of it. Currently, on Earth, it is the year 2018. AD/CE. There are other calendars. Wikipediais says::
