Command submitted. I really am sorry about how long it took. Balancing school and work has been hectic for me, and I like to sit down and take a good long while to write my turns. Thus, if this one has any typos, I apologize. And if it has any stupid, stupid mistakes, I am willing to admit that I won't feel bad if you laugh at me, Gallo.
Anyways, now it's time for me to wait in suspense until tomorrow. SUSPENSE.

“Citizens of this fair country; it has come to my attention that some of you are considering my recent measures as fascist. Rest assured, my intention is not to turn this land into a dictatorship, but to make sure every single one of my people is safe. Every single one of my actions is for the good of this country. I hope we will be able to strive throughout the years without the fear of being assaulted or raped. Have hope in your country and hope in yourselves, because this is the only thing that can make us better.”

You can tell that I am no good at speeches. Also, I am terribly sorry for the lateness of my commands, having no access to the computer is partly to blame, since it is the only safe place to write something. Safe as in not lagging or losing your text.

Director Alderman leafed through the documents, all handwritten on green-tinted paper. They were making do with what they had, which was not enough. He looked out of the window overlooking the settlement, once again noting with a sense of accomplishment the advantages the mass stone reconstruction had wrought against the dark forces of damp wooden walls.

At the bottom of the pile of papers was a report, written by an astronomer. The astronomer had at last completed his project, which had taken nearly all year - a mighty length of time on this long-year world. It detailed the movement of the moons, the days of the year, the seasons and months, all carefully charted and observed. A day was exactly 37 hours here, and a year usually contained 1184 of these long days. The report went on to list deviations and calculations, then went into the main body of the proposition it represented - a new calendar, specifically designed for the long years of this world. He looked at the brief overview of the specifics.

MONTH STRUCTURE OF THE NEW CALENDAR

Due to the length of a year, the month structure's complexity has been doubled in the new calendar. Although only eight months feature, each occurs four times throughout the course of a year.

Each month features exactly 37 days, except for the final month of a drop year which has 36.

The months are organized into four repetitions of eight months. Each repetition is a quarter of a year, and is interchangeably known as both a Quarter and a Season.

They are called Seasons as each is named after the season that fits within their timeframe; Spring, Summer, Autumn or Winter.

Each of the eight months occurs once in each season.

The eight months are, in order, Trenitary, Freidiary, Mandus, Oldiary, Verendary, Albary, Elbolun and Yaiter. They are all named after influential historical people or important places from Bronima.

The short-form format for writing a date would be D/S/M/Y. Eg 14/Sp/Tre/4, for the 14th of Spring Trenitary, year 4.

YEAR STRUCTURE OF THE NEW CALENDAR

Due to the irregular length of years, a complex cycle is required to stop the calendar losing time.

Years are arranged into 'cycles', which contain a number of years – normally nineteen. Every five years of the cycle, a year has one day less in than normal. This is known as a drop year, comparable to an Earth leap year.

A drop year features one less day in the final month of the year. Other than that it is a perfectly normal year.

A normal cycle features a drop year every fifth year, except for the nineteenth and final year of the cycle when the drop year is only the fourth year after the last one.

However, every seventh cycle has only 14 years – only two five-year drop years are present in that cycle, and the four-year drop year comes at the early end to the cycle.

The seven cycles continuously loop, with all seven playing out over a period of 128 years.

After further analysis, Alderman was still a bit skeptical of the new calendar, but it seemed to work. The calculations looked solid and the months would be recognizable to Bronimans. The system worked, and was certainly a lot better than counting Broniman time, which did not fit the rhythm of the planet at all.

Very well, thought Alderman, a new calendar there shall be. He began making the preparations to spread it all across New Aialenburg.

All based on information Gallo gave me for the planet's day length and orbit (37 hours for a day and exactly 1825 earth days/5 earth years for a year), horrifyingly calculated in OpenOffice Calc, and strongarmed into a working calendar system.

You're not dead, are you, Gallo?

[wlzrobert]

Everything okay?

[Galloglasses]

Actually yes, just getting over a period of bullshit.

[Kocel232]

Wipe off your boots and tread bravely forward, friend.

I'm about head into a week of bullshit myself, so, trust me, you have my sympathy. I'm just glad this isn't dead. That would have been a shame.

[wlzrobert]

Still Alive???

Gallo lives yet, but he is silent and moves in mysterious ways. Also he seems to spend a lot of time on the Moon.

"I was asking Gallo to update BEFORE it was popular."

YEAR 3 OF THE EXILIUM AGE
10 Earth years have past

Asides from a good harvest, Kretaria has basically failed in most of its advance attempts this year

Despite formalising a national anthem and motivating their nation, a civil war has broken out on provocation of subversive cultists.

Guthinia develops inocculation against many of the diseases its population faces in the Bayou, however, riots wreck the country.

Tealings expands its capital and settles beyond its crampt conditions and founds a harbour and a number of fishing villages, but its population is still haunted by crippling paranoia.

Vinculisia sorts out its hydration issues with unexpected hallucinagetic side effects. Reports are awesome. But its government faces opposition from a pretender for the presidency.

Affale's Sisterhood begins domesticating giant lizards as a food resource and is dealing with progressive reforms in its military. It has also become aware of the Republic of New Cerephus.

The Method CC continues being the industrial powerhouse of the world, it... it has looms... yeah. Well... do YOU have looms? Didn't think so.

The New Cerephus Republic's development is being severely hampered by lack of wood and fresh water, but is aggressively attempting to sort the issue.

New Gorgan Expands it borders and conducts powerup sessions of its giant cannon instead of firing it every time a League championship finishes.

New Alianburg Changes continues blowing shit up

The A.S.S. got its shit together.

[Kocel232]

Hey, Tea, if you're ever worried that you may end up missing a future turn, then I can always give suggestions on where to move your ship's reactor core down the line...

:P

[A Killer Cuppa Tea]

Hey guys, i hate to do this (have never replaced out of a game before), but i think its time to be realistic...with exams right around the corner and my final year at uni, i dont really have time for this game anymore. I'll just end up holding it back. I really wish i could play cos its a very very fun game, with people who have cool ideas and a mod who puts one hell of a lot of effort into the game. Seriously. Have you seen the PMs he sends? F'kin huge! Kudos, Gallo, i'm sorry i couldnt be better

So...yea...this is me asking to be replaced...or at the very least have something blow me up xD

[Solaris]
