What is Timestamping?

The day (between one and fifty), the quarter (month), and the Ramathian year which must accompany each new In Character thread that you post. Ramath-lehi has four quarters (or months) - Tria (Summer), Tessera (Autumn), Mia (Winter), & Dyo (Spring). You can check out the Timestamping page to see how Ramath-lehi's months relate to ours in real time.

Why Timestamp?

Timestamping allows characters to be in multiple threads at once. So you can join more than one thread with a single character - just as long as the Timestamp dates are different.
