A while back, some people were talking about making a calendar. In order to do that, we'd need to map the stars and figure out the cycles of the moon and all that kind of thing. Cisco and I have managed to put together a sextant, it's not the best but it should do the job. I was wondering if anyone had experience with star mapping and would like to help. It might take a while but I think a calendar is something we could use. So whoever would like to help, let me know.

	I haven't the faintest about star mapping, but I want to help. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Of course. We'll take all the help we can get. Once we figure out the rotation cycle, we can see how long a month is. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I'm borderline genius so I can learn fast. And I still want to name all the months. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	lucasmartins 2017-01-04 03:53 pm UTC (link)
	Sure. I figured we could change them to whatever we wanted. I'm used to not having months anyway so the names can be anything. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Let's figure out the hard stuff first and then worry about the fun stuff later. And trust me, it'll be fun. By the way, what's a sextant? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It's kind of like a compass I guess you'd say but it's used to help ships navigate by using the stars. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Ah, very useful. I feel very knowledged up right now. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	lucasmartins 2017-01-04 04:07 pm UTC (link)
	I'm kind of a math geek so I like figuring out stuff like this. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	info_tech 2017-01-04 04:11 pm UTC (link)
	No wonder you and Cisco are working together. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	lucasmartins 2017-01-04 04:12 pm UTC (link)
	Yeah, we get along pretty well. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Yeah, he's told me a lot of really cool stuff about what life is like in your world. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	info_tech 2017-01-04 04:25 pm UTC (link)
	Not surprised. He's a technology junkie. It's one of his sweetest traits. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Some of the stuff he was telling me about sounded pretty amazing. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

You met my dad??? What's he like?

	Yeah I did. He's cool, you'll like him. He's funny, really smart too. Are you going to try and get to know him? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I think I am, yeah. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	What sort of information are we looking to include on a calendar? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	lucasmartins 2017-01-04 09:01 pm UTC (link)
	Mostly it's a way of keeping track of time. Especially with babies being born, it'll help to know their ages if we have some kind of time-keeping system. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	aspeggysays 2017-01-04 09:11 pm UTC (link)
	That could be accomplished with a board and tick marks. However, I enjoy the idea of a calendar for other purposes as well. Perhaps holidays. I'm sure that with all the varied backgrounds of everyone here, there are traditions to learn and enjoy all over. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	lucasmartins 2017-01-04 09:20 pm UTC (link)
	That's true. We've talked about holidays before. I know that there were some ideas being floated around. Once we figure out the months and things, we can start talking about what we want to do. I grew up in the temple so time there is way different from time here and I'd be interested in hearing what sorts of holidays that other people celebrate. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	aspeggysays 2017-01-04 09:25 pm UTC (link)
	Why don't we start with day 1? I would hate to alienate anyone who doesn't follow one calendar versus another. Maybe we even need to make up something new entirely. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	lucasmartins 2017-01-04 09:31 pm UTC (link)
	We were planning to do that. That way we start at the same place. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	aspeggysays 2017-01-04 09:39 pm UTC (link)
	Good. I'll help in any way I can. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	lucasmartins 2017-01-04 09:40 pm UTC (link)
	Thank you. We'll be keeping everybody up to date. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	aspeggysays 2017-01-04 09:40 pm UTC (link)
	Pun intended? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	lucasmartins 2017-01-04 09:46 pm UTC (link)
	Actually no. I didn't even realize I said that but that's a good one. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	aspeggysays 2017-01-04 09:47 pm UTC (link)
	Well, I both laughed and rolled my eyes, so good for you! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	lucasmartins 2017-01-04 09:50 pm UTC (link)
	I'm glad I could do that for you. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	aspeggysays 2017-01-05 07:41 pm UTC (link)
	Me, too. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	coyoteborn 2017-01-05 12:34 am UTC (link)
	I can help. If you tell me why it's called a sextant when it doesn't have anything to do with sex. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	lucasmartins 2017-01-05 11:35 am UTC (link)
	I can tell you that. Cami/Lucas You have sex on the brain (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	coyoteborn 2017-01-05 11:43 am UTC (link)
	So? What's the deal? [Cami \| Lucas] Cause it's so much fun. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	lucasmartins 2017-01-05 11:55 am UTC (link)
	I guess it's because there are six sectors on it that you use to look for the angles of the stars. Sex is Latin for six. [Cami/Lucas] You won't get any arguments from me there. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	coyoteborn 2017-01-05 12:00 pm UTC (link)
	Sex should just be Latin for sex. [Cami \| Lucas] We should have sex again. Maybe in a different position this time. Wanna ask Nora to join us? Or Mara? Mara could be fun. She's a good kisser. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Cami/Lucas lucasmartins 2017-01-05 12:03 pm UTC (link)
	I agree. We should have sex again but just us. You can be on top this time, I think that would be hot. I wanna feel like I'm a little better at it before we throw a sex party. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Cami/Lucas coyoteborn 2017-01-05 12:07 pm UTC (link)
	That will definitely be fun. You'll only get better the more sex you're having. You are having sex with other people right?? A sex party is a great idea though. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Cami/Lucas lucasmartins 2017-01-05 12:14 pm UTC (link)
	That's what I figured. Practice makes perfect. No, not yet. I have to find someone who wants to have sex with me first. I'm not brave enough to just walk up to someone and say "Hey let's have sex." Yeah, we can try that out. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Cami/Lucas coyoteborn 2017-01-05 12:18 pm UTC (link)
	Everyone should want to have sex with you. I can help you find someone. It's super easy. And I can stay and watch if you want! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Cami/Lucas lucasmartins 2017-01-05 12:42 pm UTC (link)
	I'm sure you could find someone. Right now I'm cool with just us. ~~I don't want to share you yet~~ but when I'm ready, you can help. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Cami/Lucas coyoteborn 2017-01-05 09:46 pm UTC (link)
	Yea, okay. Whatever you want. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Cami/Lucas lucasmartins 2017-01-05 09:53 pm UTC (link)
	We should find some place outside that we've never been. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Cami/Lucas coyoteborn 2017-01-06 01:05 am UTC (link)
	We can do that! We could go running and I can chase you and then we could have lunch and have sex and maybe sleep outside under the stars? We haven't done that in a while. The sleeping under the stairs part. And the sex part. We should have more sex. (Reply to this) (Parent)
