Ghyll talk:Current events
I am starting this here because it seems the most appropriate. I am working on a javascript that will calculate Ghyllian dates from Earth dates and vice versa. There seem to be some snags. The issues I have are:
- We took some extended turns so there is no longer a direct correllation between Ghyll dates and Earth dates.
- The Folktown Records script works just fine for FR# to Ghyll dates but it has no real correlation (other than the arbitrary "turns" to Earth time).
- There is a ratio of Ghyll days to Earth days. If it takes 26 "turns" to 1 Ghyll year then the ratio changes as the turns are lengthened. Someone mentioned a "revisionist" phase between the first and second turn. where does that fit into the Ghyll timeline for the Encyclopedia?
I am trying to develop this thing in a way (a client-based script) that everyone can contribute and modify. Ideally this should operate as a pick-a-date, press convert and out pops the answer. Simple and clean. Here is where I have it stored as of right now (and I am constantly modifying). Ghyll Time Conversion
If I can get this working the way it should (with a direct correllation between Earth time and Ghyll time) will that modify Ghyll dates on the turn calendar on this page? Or should I modify the script to account for the Ghyll dates as presented? Which would be the preferred methodology? --Dr. H. L. Ackroyd 15:33, 27 Jan 2005 (EST)
