Leap Year

Postby Delani Denusk on May 4th, 2013, 8:50 pm

Some of us were talking in chat a bit ago about times and dates and calendar stuff and a thought occurred to me. What about leap year? Except for winter, the seasons all have 91 days, for which is measured in real time. If that's the case, then what about RL leap year? Every four years we have an extra day in real life; wouldn't the same apply to Mizahar if we're counting something like that?

Leap Year

That came up last year :)

It doesn't really make a difference, because of fluid time. Mizahar's winter still just has 92 days (assume its orbit around its sun is exactly 365 days, and doesn't have a pesky extra 6 hours to worry about ;) ), you just have one extra real-world day to finish your threads and everything. At least, that's how I think of it ^_^
