@Solstice I’m so doing this now.
-
The time ratio.
Don’t get me wrong, like 90% of the time I prefer it, but it was harvest time the last time I was playing regularly and that makes me feel bad.

I’m the crazy person who still misses 3:1 time.
-
I admit that 3:1 is my favorite of the options, tbh. Just not right now. Anything not 1:1 makes me feel guilty.
-
I’d be more down with 3:1 if characters actually aged. It remains extremely difficult to take 20-somethings seriously as experts in their respective fields, and tbh I just really want some of these babies born under crazy-ass IC circumstances to become moving pieces on the board.
-
@helvetica God I wish aging were automatic.
-
@sao It is odd given the setting as well.
-
@sao This is probably a stupid question, how come it isn’t automatic?
-
@imstillhere At one point early on I think staff said they didn’t want to turn on automatic aging until systems were less in Beta.
But my memory of that conversation was that it was – years ago. So idk.

I was just going to say, “Because it’s Arx.”
-
@BloodAngel It’s not really odd, the game has been in beta this whole time and auto-aging has never been a code priority. Apos has always said that the age is a field that could be false anyway since real_age is a separate field that can be set so it doesn’t trouble him particularly that a bunch of people out there who “look” or “seem” 22.

I can somewhat answer that. I was trying to get Arxcode to work for Atharia and was asking Tehom why ages were auto-updated (as I prefer that) and he said it is pretty complex to code into and other things. I forget it all and am lazy to try to find it in my discord stuff. I mean, codewise you’re looking to check for age updating twice a day.

If not automatic, then at least have birth year written down somewhere so age can be manually changed if needed.
-
@helvetica I age up pretty much every roster I take.
-
I was aging up but it started getting weird to outpace people who are technically 5+ years older than me
-
I age up every damn birthday, and am now the oldest man on the grid because I pass everyone. Lol.
-
I’ve been doubling up and aging two years at a time whenever I remember to just to make up for the difference. Sometimes, I’ll be asked a timeline question and have to reconcile with the fact that Lark is way too young for something to have happened 10 years ago or whatever.

I have that issue with Aleksei, especially with the fact that his son is also aging every IC year.

shit how old is Elaine…
page Kael=How old is your eldest spawn IC?
eldest spawn age -1 = Elaine age
I’d be sunk otherwise.

I have a note in my Evernotes that’s just “important Arx dates” and one of them is Fitz’s birthday, so I just have the IC year there I can compare to the current time.
