nostalgicBadger:
So, I am curious what this group's thoughts are on the Discordian calendar, or I suppose I should say Discordian calendars since I am sure there are multiple versions floating around. Personally, I like the idea of using five seasons and no months, although I might come up with a new system of counting years. Still, the whole thing does seem like it could be considered cliché.

AFK:
It's alright, but try programming that bitch into a wind-up watch.

I use five months, but use the same seasons.  I am also working on animalistic years, like the Chinese calendar.  

nostalgicBadger:
Do you name the year after the fact? That's what I was thinking of doing, deciding at the end of every year what the year was called, and I think not having a counting system would help to break the illusion of time being linear. The only problem is, counting back years could be a little tricky.

Also, programming the five seasons into a analog watch could be tough, however I did port ddate to a Second Life script for some reason.

East Coast Hustle:
RBG?

is that YUO?
