The Day tracker and Fatigue System

[FG Admin]

Time Chart

admin note: WE ARE CURRENTLY USING A MODIFIED FOUR WEEK FG DAY SYSTEM.

Former Glory has a unique Day and night system that most roleplay sites don't have. If you've already played on a RP site that did have a Time system then this shouldn't be too hard to understand. But for those of us who have never played on a RP site with a time system, here is an explanation to help you to understand:

One week in our time is half a day in their time. So in other words, it takes us two weeks to complete one of their days. This may seem like a long time at first, but when you start posting you will soon see you won't have enough time in one week to do everything.

Morning Time chart

Sunday: 6:00 AM (Sun rise)
Monday: 9:00 AM
Tuesday: 11:00 AM
Wednesday: 1:00 PM
Thursday: 3:00 PM
Friday: 5:00 PM
Saturday: 6:00 PM (Sun down)

Night Time chart

Sunday: 7:00 PM
Monday: 9:00 PM (Time jumps for a smooth transition to morning)
Tuesday: 11:00 PM
Wednesday: 12:00 AM
Thursday: 2:00 AM
Friday: 4:00 AM
Saturday: 5:00 AM (Pay day)
(End of Night time, repeats back to Morning)

After the time does one cycle it will add one day on to the Day tracker. The Day tracker is only there for us Players to know how long the RP has been going on, and not necessarily there for the characters to keep track of. But it will help you remember what day your character did something.

You don't always have to keep track of the time for every time that you post, but keep in mind that it will effect certain story events in the future that have time limits connected to them
(Stopping a bomb or getting to a crime scene on time). So it is important to be active and try to keep up with what is happening in the city.

The Weather System
The weather is completely random and will be chosen based on how the Admin feels. If the Admin feels it should be raining, then it will rain. Although the weather will not spontaneously change, it will gradually change. The Admin will choose what the weather will be a week in advance, so if it is cloudy in the morning, it will began to rain for the evening. This will have very little effect on the characters unless the weather happens to be a certain heroes weakness...

Other than that, it is mostly just there to help everyone be on the same page for what they post in the day.


(IMPORTANT NOTE: For some rare, but important cases Time will slow down in case a player has to stop playing for real life reasons. In such cases the time will stop, and then resume for that player when they return.

That way the story and time line can be back on track. However, time will continue to move on for all the rest of the players. In such cases this will have to be talked over with the admin before it takes place so that it happens smoothly and won't effect the other players in game.

The day and night system is not just there to keep track of time, it also helps us keep track of our character's fatigue. So you may ask "What is fatigue? And why do I have it?" Well, just like in real life our characters will get tired, hungry, and thirsty. If you fail to eat, drink, and sleep in the role play it will effect your characters stats. Think of it as a global weakness for all players.

Once a FG day your characters will have to eat, drink, and sleep, to keep themselves healthy and their stats in perfect condition.

Failure to restore fatigue

On the start of the new Night in game, your character will automatically enter the fatigue status, you will lose 50% HP, and
-10 to all attack, defense and life skill rolls. This effect will double if you fail to restore yourself within four weeks real life time, which will cause your character to instantly die (-50% HP twice means you're dead).

You can easily fix this problem by going out to eat something and buying a drink to go along with the meal, and then taking a well deserved rest at the end of the RP day. Most people use Saturday of RP night time to make their characters rest, and will then have their character wake up again on Sunday of RP morning. Enjoying a meal or resting before the fatigue status kicks in will still keep the effects from starting in the first place. Just eating or resting once a RP day will keep fatigue away for the rest of that day, no matter when you choose to do it. If you sleep you will also recover ALL of your SP for Sensitives.

Resting to recover health-
If your character is injured and you lay down to rest you will recover 10 HP. Resting will only heal your life if you sleep in a proper shelter, it has to have a bed and a proper roof over your head. If you sleep on the street or on the floor of an abandon building you will not recover any health. If you sleep multiples in a single day you will not recover more health- Resting to recover health only works once per FG day.
If you are in critical condition it is best to seek proper medical attention.


By following these rules your character will eat a proper meal at least once a day and sleep once a day in RP time. It helps give a more realistic feel to a fake Role play world.
