Slowly munching trough the IC and this is so fascinating, this RP is open to join right? I don't mind the tech disadvantage.

I might be obtuse, but can someone seriously explain to me how the system would favor frequent posters? I really don't get it.

Well, if you have seen, people normally have their technology at the beginning of their introduction, such as:
example nation, example age and such
Technology (1/8)
Every post advances one point, so someone who posts frequently will advance in the scientific field faster.

I rise from my grave to comment on this
This system has been in place with the same issue for ages now and I don't see how implementing a new time system would make it worse or better

I agree with Mango. The system I proposed wouldn't change the fact that frequent posters advance faster. All it would do would be providing a time frame for the events of the Rp, and that's pretty much it.
As I said previously, it is permissible not to detail the progress made towards a technology in every single post, especially when the technology requires many posts to be obtained.

See, the thing is when I don't want to make a decision I defer it to a higher authority.
The only higher authority is Aweirdgamer.
Which basically makes it a democracy.
A democracy in which you appear to have lost, dear fellow.
Well part of history is not knowing exact dates of certain events that are so far back to not be recorded. A time keeping system I think should be more IC than OOC. Races that engage in regular interaction such as trade adopt similar time keeping systems to better coordinate trade, something like that happening. Look forward to IC in future that could involve various races that develop historians trying to align events in timelines.

GalaxyQuest, you say?
<Snipped quote by Mihndar>
It feels odd to read this, yet the logic holds.
Also, even with the original Civ RP, I don't think there was a timeline followed very strictly.
<Snipped quote by Aweirdgamer>
Indeed. One of my favorite movies.
Well, to be fair, I don't remember the last time you took a very strong position on anything. Not that that's a bad thing. If there were more people like you in the world we might all get along for a change
