You know the meaning in Thai for Som is orange. Meaning when you can speak Thai (as well as french and english) it looks a lot like "Battlemaster rotates around the Orange". Hehe. -- [[User:Shenron|Shenron 15:11, 1 June 2007 (CEST)

Haha, nice one Gias. Gregorian, man you crack me up. Loren 20:49, 28 March 2007 (CEST)

Heresy! Everyone knows the world is flat, and carried on the back of the Giant Tortoise through the Celestial Sea! This is all heretical gibberish! (But kinda neat, in an OOC way!) --Indirik 22:16, 28 March 2007 (CEST)

I think you have your seasons wrong. I believe one season in BM is about 3 weeks, making a year (4 seasons) 12 weeks or, more or less, 3 months, not 1.5 months. I could be totally wrong though. Vellos 03:17, 29 March 2007 (CEST)

I believe you're right as far as your calculations go, Lyman; however, I think that there's a case to be made for both your interpretation of a "year" and Gias Kay's interpretation. On the other hand, since his is based on observation of a somewhat random phenomenon (character physical age advancing), where yours is based on the objective and unchanging length of seasons on the FEI, I would tend to lean more toward yours...and if there is, indeed, that much discrepancy between the average RL time it takes to age a year, and the RL time it takes for 4 seasons to pass, I think Tom may need to tweak the aging algorithms. --Anaris 04:37, 29 March 2007 (CEST)

I haven't really kept track of character aging very much but, as Tom says, it isn't actual age. Perhaps Tom is allowing for the more extreme hardships of a medieval life and doing a year of aging in less than a year? And yes, I believe we did just agree. ;) Vellos 04:41, 29 March 2007 (CEST)

Indeed, that's why it says "physical age", not "calendar age". That's why wounds, torture, etc. make you age faster. --Tom 20:50, 13 May 2007 (CEST)

The "Som"

You know the meaning in Thai for Som is orange. Meaning when you can speak Thai (as well as french and english) it looks a lot like "Battlemaster rotates around the Orange". Hehe. -- Shenron 15:11, 1 June 2007 (CEST)
