The World of RPing

It seems like a good idea, though one could make an argument that you wouldn't have to age that much at all. I mean, it's not like we're setting out any specific dates here, just a very basic timeline - just because your character's lived for a hundred Dojodian years doesn't necessarily make them 100 years old. For all we know at the moment, a Dojodian year could last for an hour Razz

.

It's like how we say when a dog's 9 years old it's actually 63 in dog years. The dog is only 9 years old by our perception of time, and only 63 years old by a different perception. By Mercury time, the dog is 37 years old, and by Pluto time, the dog isn't even 1 year old, so as you can see, there's quite a few ways to perceive the dog's age. Does there have to be a correct and singular way to do so though? No, I don't really think so - the way I see it, how a character ages is entirely up to the RPer.

And who says that it even has to be consistent? Living in Psychotopia, the years might pass at different speeds!

... We should probably keep it consistent...

Yes, considering that the idea is to have a good way to keep track of how things were, we should really- *suddenly, 60 years flash by in the blink of an eye exclusively in the vicinity of 3kul* Get those damn kids off my lawn! *shakes his cane menacingly as he accidently treads on his beard*
