I like the idea of days changing but I have a worry. If it's 10 days per RP day, then for a month to change we're looking at nearly an entire year of real time before we move on to the next season, no? Same for one week or two weeks. It's 200+ days. Personally, I don't have much of an issue with it but it might just be easier to switch seasons every three months and let people RP on the days they choose. Then just set up events at some point, I'd guess.

Amélie Blanchard I do sorta agree with that, at least in the sense that taking an IRL year to go through an IC season might be kind of rough for character progression. But I also see the reasoning behind giving people specific amounts of time for each day, mainly relevant to Tool cooldowns and for if/when people get animals/crops and how those need to be managed? But this is also an RP site, not an actual farming sim game, so prioritizing potential character relationships may be the better thing to do here, uhm... I do think a middle ground is possible, but I think 3 months per season is too compressed, too (similarly to how a year per season is too expansive) in terms of writing. 3 months IRL per 30 days (1 season) IC seems just a little too compressed, but maybe 1 month IRL per 7 days (1 week) IC would be slightly better? although then how logs/animals/tools/other-IC-mechanics work may need to be adjusted if this change were to take place. This would also mean a season may not change exactly on a month (as a season is 30 days and not 28)

It won't really bother me none. |

Overall I don't think I can vote because I have no idea what works and what doesn't. Maybe set something down for now, and then when it comes to changing it you can put up another poll to see if people want things to move on or not? I feel like all members probably need to experience it first hand to really form an opinion.

For the way the site is designed, it's better if the days are spelled out. But we COULD try doing like 1 season that lasts 2 months and you can do all of your days how you see fit and then the events are just a scheduled IRL day. I've ran two of these and have always just done 1 week or 10 days per RP day but yes, it does progress really slowly but that's also just roleplay and getting through time. I'm not really sure!

So far I haven't minded the 10 IRL days = 1 Board Day. It's something new that I've never seen done on any other RP site before. Actually, it's pretty reminiscent of old, old, old HM sites from back in the day. Admittedly, this is my only experience with it and I've only been here for a short bit. But, like I said, so far I haven't minded it. There's a bit of charm in knowing that the entire board and all its characters are participating in the same day, running around doing their errands and meetings and whatnot. It's pretty cute. xD
But, I'm sure there are difficulties with the system that I haven't noticed or experienced yet. But, then again, there are difficulties with any time passage system, I think. It's just about finding the right one that fits the best. But, so far I've been enjoying myself. So that's kind of my experience of input.

I'm going to second the opinion above. I've finally played the system and actually figured out how it works. (I was pretty clueless before xD) And I can say that I love the uniqueness of it. I think it's brave to do something new in a world where everyone does everything the same usually. I kind of wish more sites did it this way. BUT, I do get the challenges of it.
I can say that because it goes day by day. I do feel more motivated to make sure I use each day to the fullest, and having 10 days to do that is a good amount of time especially if something comes up in life. I also like that even if we do go past the 10 days we still have a chance to finish up our threads on spring 1st.
Oh oh, and people will know the exact day they moved to the island because the day is set in stone for everyone. I am in the early stages of this and like I said it's 10/10 new for me so I'll post in here again if I notice any problems with the system. Thanks for asking all of us for our opinions! It's nice to join in with little community chats like this. ♥
