This thread is not me trying to judge the game or the forum.

How do we mix the game's time with the forums?

for example, If I release single through the game one real day is considered a week in the game. 10 days later and its been already 2 months.

Does anyone really go with the game's time? If so, is that really a good thing, Since your artist's life is speed up?

Can we develop a system where it would make sense?

For singles and stuff on twitter I'll follow the game time (one day RL = one week) because it doesn't make sense that an artist would release singles 4 day apart... but I don't want a system with the forums, because then it messes with tour dates and planning.

I do notice many people have twitter accounts do this.

Use the forum to talk about the future. Twitter to talk about the actual future as if it where the present and the game as the future. <-Hope that made sense

I don't use game time full stop, day = day ingame, in RP and on faux-Twitter to me.

Same here, but still, it's a bit weird to think that Failed Youth have released 3 albums, yet Billy has only been in the band since he's 21, and he's still 21 now.

So that's what Steph means, it's really confusing. But oh well, I just don't use time or anything. There is no concept of time in TRSG Roleplay :P

I know, I don't think any of my characters has carried a baby to term. (Troy - at least Aurora's having twins, so it doesn't make sense for them NOT to be premature.)

I used to use real time, but it got boring, and with using game time, there is a lot more to do in short time periods and it just makes me more inspired to role play, even if I still suck at it... :)
