Ahem -

Did you know that on average when not in roleplay, and mechanically sprinting, our characters move about 0.233~ Meters/Second - Almost a snail-like pace. I'll explain:

Minecraft running is done at a rate of 5.6 meters/IRL-second. However, this doesn't take into account day-night cycles and how much time passes in game. In game on lotc, a day/night cycle is 1 Hour total. Meaning, if you run for 1 IRL Hour, in a straight line, you'll have run roughly around 20 kilometers. This is no pausing, full sprinting(not jumping), and implies a full 24 Hours in-roleplay are spent running.

So, taking that and splitting it over individual in-roleplay time units:

• In 1 In-Roleplay Day, we can run 20ish Kilometers.
• In 1 In-Roleplay Hour, we can run 0.84 Kilometers(about half a mile per hour)
• In 1 In-Roleplay Minute, we travel exactly 14 Meters.
• In 1 In-Roleplay Second, we travel 0.233(repeating) meters.

In a similar train of thought but a completely different area(I do not have the expertise to combine these two pieces of information, mathematically), an IRL Day consists of 24 hours. A year is 365 days. And a year, is a year.

On LotC however, a day is a day(1 IRL hour), and there are 24 in a month, and there are only 168 days in a given Roleplay Year. This is lunacy! For every 168 days IRP that pass, a human grows at the same maturity as one IRL despite being only HALF the age. There is only one logical conclusion to be made for this:

Days, are longer. We can do some math here. We can assume that LotC in-game years have as many hours in them as an IRL Year, as people mature and age at the same rate. IRL, there are 8760 hours in a year, split over 365 days for 24 hour days. On LotC, there are 8760 hours in a year split over 168 days, for lotc days that are... ahem, let me compile the math.

• 1 In-Game day(IRL HOUR), 52.14 In-Game hours pass. Meaning we experience roughly 26 hours of sunlight and 26 hours of darkness each day.
• In 1 IRL Minute, 52.14 IRP minutes pass.
• In 1 IRL second, 52.14 IRP seconds pass.

So, I know I wrote above I did not have the expertise to combine these two factoids. But I have done so anyways - Taking the previous bit from the START of this status update, I've amended the numbers:

• In 1 In-Roleplay Day, we travel 20160 Meters.
• In 1 In-Roleplay Hour, we travel 386.64 Meters.
• In 1 In-Roleplay Minute, we travel 6.4 Meters.
• In 1 In-Roleplay Second, we travel 0.107 Meters.
