Time Conversion Calculator

Post by elwing »

While reading a lot of old posts, and trying to put together a narrative on some incidents, I found the lack of a calculator to convert Terris dates to RL dates to be an issue. For example, to know the Terris year of Feb 09, 2015, would help me when writing an IC scroll. Are Terris years 20 days? This is what I recall being told in past.

If we knew the exact conversion rate, I am sure someone could make a calculator for it.

Something like 20-30. A Terris year is roughly a month or so, I think.

I think it is like 20 days, but rough guesses such as this will do little to help with a conversion of dates.

Edit: Sept 2020: The chart is updated in the Wiki: https://www.legendsofterris.com/wiki/in ... ge_of_Time

Given the way the date is tracked, rounded, outages, updates etc means the time isn't linear since we started so we can't precisely calculate back (i.e. there's drift).

Based on my old logs and some calcs to fill in the gaps, New Year's Day is roughly:

2021-01-01: 564/7/1
2020-01-01: 546/6/6
2019-01-01: 528/5/20
2018-01-01: 510/5/19
2017-01-01: 492/6/22
2016-01-01: 474/6/24
2015-01-01: 456/6/3
2014-01-01: 438/7/7
2013-01-01: 420/9/23
2012-01-01: 402/3/
2011-01-01: 384/8/5

2010-01-01: 366/9/21
2009-01-01: 348/9/23
2008-01-03: 330/10/7
2007-01-01: 312/8/9
2006-01-01: 295/5/1

2005-01-01: 277/4/20
2004-01-02: 259/3/30
2003-01-01: 241/2
2002-01-01: 223/5/28
2001-01-01: 205/4

2000-01-01: 187/3
1999-01-01: 170/1/1
1998-02-01: 153/9/29
1998-01-01: 152
1997-01-01: 134
1996-01-01: 116
1995-01-01: 95

A full Terris date is from my log -- missing months or days are calculations. I logged in different hours, so the terris month/day won't be bang on midnight New Year's day.

There are 100 Terris hours to a Terris day, each one taking approx 55.6 Earth seconds.
30 days to a month, 10 months to a year

Approx 96 Earth minutes to a Terris day
Approx 48.25 hours to a Terris Month
Approx 20.1 days to a Terris Year

That gives us 18.2 Terris years per Earth Year.
1.5 Terris months per Earth Month
