How does the timeline move along?

[Atreyu]

Just a general curiosity. :) I was reading through the timeline thread plus the wiki pages and I noticed that it's up to 'Year 2, 11 months'.

I was just wondering how it progresses - if it's moving along in real time, or via some sort of mathematical calculation, or purely on the whims of the roleplayers themselves?

[Dasquian Belargic]

Purely on whim, I think! Though given that almost three In Character years have passed since 2005, when the reset originally occured, we aren't doing too bad in terms of realism. Or at least as much realism as you can expect to find in Star Wars :mneh

This is mainly for the Star Wars universe: (I've no idea how they do time lines in the other portions of the forum)

I always assumed it moved roughly along in real time. Stopping and speeding up where it makes sense in terms of peoples threads in relation to each others. I could be horribly wrong though.

[Lilaena De'Ville]

It moves along roughly, as I see it, on whatever whim crosses the RPers mind, and where their thread fits in with other threads people have added to the timeline. Which happens to fit almost into real time, but a little slower. I mean, we have some RPs ongoing that started Jan 08, so...

:uhoh Speaking of I am dreadfully behind in adding my threads. :cry

I did a small bit of timelining a short while back... but that was for Mutants. I was on a wiki bent and went a-wiki-ing. Perhaps it could happen again? ;)

What is the timeline? This is after endor right? I read some about when this is, and the deth star is blown up still right? but the rebles didn't win yet?

[Darven]

As a reference - I believe Miranda becoming Empress happens exactly 2 years after Endor.

[Miranda Tarkin]

:cool:

I figured it would make sense 2 years after :)

[Nya Halcyon]

Can I add that to the Wiki timeline for future reference?

[Miranda Tarkin]

No! :mad Not unless I officially decree it!

:uhoh

:: decrees it ::

I always had the impression that our time moved at the speed of plot. That is, time moved as far ahead as was necessary for a storyline to progress smoothly.

[Lilaena De'Ville]

^^ what he said :)

[Lamar Starworth]

Zeke always has the right words...dont'cha Zeke. :)

[Atreyu]

Thankee very much. :)

(I was going to query whether having it on a whim would get confusing, but seeing the flurry of activity to sort out the timeline since I asked I'll just shut up now :p)

[Lilaena De'Ville]

Yeah, :grumble thanks a lot
