Maybe you could make your own poll to confirm the previous poll's trends, Fred, since you seem worried about the calendar being "shoved down our craw."An international trade calendar that's based on Earth will just make everyone have to do even more conversions since I don't know what faction would have IC justification to use it.
In-Character reason is not the end-all-be-all, and Out of Character is still an important factor, perhaps even more so at times since that's where we, the players actually exist. Out of Character, we still have to contend with what we have going on In Character, and I don't like the idea of there being another thing to be hassled by on top of everything else. The fact that the poll was rather biased in the manner it was, assuming we'd get a new calendar, also reduces its credibility. Also, it's unfair of you to compare this to the Galaxy map Raz; I don't think we're even asking for much. You could even debate we're asking for less, or even none at all.
Dunno how you're arguing that OOC is an important factor while saying that unfair to bring up the galaxy map like I did. That logic doesn't line up at all; choose one line of thinking, please. So I'm outta here having said my piece in defense of this cool submission.
In terms of the game, it's because people, myself included, have been putting OOC months on IC dates because there wasn't any standard on this and because the OOC calendar simply isn't canon. The way the site works is we have a shared canon and share standards like these--like a Mindy doesn't look or work differently from plot to plot, and the Star Army doesn't wear blue in one plot and red in another plot. And if Kotori leaves a statue on a planet in her plot, an adventurer in an Open RP plot who visits that planet may see that statue. We're in this boat together. So all of the plots of SARP (at least the Yamataian ones) should be using the same calendar.But why do you have to insist so much on the denying the option people had been using before Wes came up with this?
