Mod Reminder: Time on Stacy
Just so that everyone remembers:
1) It's really, REALLY hard to track time while Stacy is traveling through the Bleed. Impossible, really. The characters really shouldn't be able to say "I've been awake for three months" with any certainty. Yes, even characters who can track time in their heads, naturally or through programming or training, no one can track it. Clocks and watches go all weird too -- sometimes the hands won't move at all, sometimes they'll travel at weird speeds, numbers jump strangely, etc etc. It's best just to turn time pieces off unless you're on-planet. The only real way to track time is by counting the "days" in the City, and who knows how accurate THOSE are?
2) OOCly, for the sake of player brains not melting (melting character brains is part of the fun though, so neener to them), Stacy-time is roughly half the speed RL-time. VERY roughly. So we've basically just passed about one year and six months of game-time, even though IRL we just had our third anniversary IRL.
If your character has made references to time specifically, that's okay. Brains playing tricks of them and all that. Just remember that, no, they really can't track it unless they're on a mission, which is basically the only time they stay in any reality for any length of time.
...Also, because I am the nagging-about-this Mod, TAG YOUR POSTS
Have fun meatshippers!
