From the Cradle's story officially begins on the first day of the year 2748. From this point, every OOC second will count as a single IC second, and time will advance accordingly. Therefore, an IC day will last twenty-four OOC hours.

The +time command is available for those who want to see the date and time for use in their roleplay. However, the +time should not be considered absolute. If all parties prefer to have a scene set in the afternoon even if +time shows that it is the middle of the night, this should take priority. That said, bending time so severely that it can be abused (being thrown in jail at eight A.M. and later holding a scene set at six A.M. where you hid a key in your future cell) is obviously not permitted

If the +time is being altered for use in a scene, new participants in the scene should be informed to prevent confusion.
