Craitish dating system

The Kingdom of Craitland - A self-proclaimed Faroese-influenced, football-loving, egalitarian haven. Brewed in 2002, distributed in 2006, and appreciated all over Micras. Has as many quirks as its language has diacritics.

Craitish dating system

Post by Craitman »

Not to be confused with the Craitish calendar.

As with a large percentage of both Micras- and Bastion-aligned nations, Craitland also has an extensive in-sim history and culture. As such, a specific calendar has been created to date Craitish events within the context of the nation's history.

In essence, the Craitish dating system uses three Gregorian calendar months to equate to one in-sim year. The dating system begins with 1 AC (Anno Cretania), which corresponds to December 12th 2002; the founding date of Craitland. Years prior to 1 AC are labelled BC (Before Craitland), and date backward. The Craitish dating system will be implemented whenever dating anything in Craitland's history in forum posts and similar, alongside the Gregorian calendar date.

The following notable Craitish events have been converted into the Craitish dating system, with Gregorian date and ASC year in brackets for comparison:

1 AC (12/12/2002, 1224 ASC) - Official foundation of the Kingdom of Craitland
15 AC (06/09/2006, 2591 ASC) - First appearance of Craitland on the MCS Claimsmap
17 AC (09/03/2007, 2772 ASC) - Incontinentia claimed
18 AC (20/05/2007, 2844 ASC) - Zandarijn claimed
19 AC (31/08/2007, 2947 ASC) - Craitland win first FMF World Cup
20 AC (21/11/2007, 3029 ASC) - New Vaduz claimed
21 AC (29/02/2008, 3129 ASC) - New South Vietnam claimed until 23 AC (30/08/2008, 3312 ASC)
23 AC (06/09/2008, 3319 ASC) - Expansion onto Fifth Isle; Craitish mainland relocated
26 AC (06/06/2009, 3592 ASC) - Passas claimed until 27 AC (18/07/2009, 3634 ASC)
35 AC (18/06/2011, 4334 ASC) - Craitland host EMU 2011
44 AC (24/11/2013, 5224 ASC) - Lakkvia claimed
48 AC (16/10/2014, 5550 ASC) - Craitland moves forums to Bastion Union
51 AC (19/07/2015, 5826 ASC) - Craitland host 2015 FMF World Cup

Aw, can't you go 1 month = 1 sim year? Like Natopia and Elwynn? It would be great.

You guys must be thinking about CräiteDate, the new app highly popular among the younger generations in Craitland!

Nathaniel, I agree that would be a nice tie-in, but this dating is based around Craitland's political system. Andre Karisson and I have been aiming to fix a lot of things, and with our parliamentary elections taking place once every (Earth) year, we decided to make that four in-sim years to create a more realistic cycle; hence three months being one in-sim year :)
