Resolution 0127: Stardate Adjustment

Adjustment of the Stardate to reflect time zone differences. There are two possible solutions for this. Please vote on them individually. Only vote for one or the other, or neither.

**Note: For either of these to work, COs must let their crews know Stardates are to reflect the time they *send* their posts. It should be the last thing filled out before hitting the send button.**

0127A
To use GMT as the global standard. All players would add or subtract the proper number of hours to/from their stardates when sending their posts. Example: Someone in the Eastern US would subtract 5 hours from their stardate. From their perspective, a post sent today at 9am would actually have a stardate of 2.11002.0400.

Votes:
Subfleet A: Aye
Subfleet B: Nay
Subfleet C: Nay
Subfleet D: Nay
Subfleet E: Nay

Outcome: Failed/Closed

0127B
To use the stardate as a game time. That is the stardate would reflect the time during a mission that has elapsed. In essence it would function as an RPG clock and not a indicator of what was sent first.

Votes:
Subfleet A: Nay
Subfleet B: Nay
Subfleet C: Nay
Subfleet D: Nay
Subfleet E: Nay

Outcome: Failed/Closed

0127C
To use the stardate as is, from the sender's timezone *and* from the time **sent**, *not* the time started.

Votes:
Subfleet A: Nay
Subfleet B: Aye
Subfleet C: Nay
Subfleet D: Aye
Subfleet E: Nay

Outcome: Failed/Closed

Notes: No revision to the Stardate will be made. Use of the stardate will remain as currently specified.

Due to some unclear wording Resolution 0127 was later revisited:

Res0127: Stadate revision

Vote are for either Option A *or* B.

*****
OPTION A
*****

That the Stardate, located in "The Big Three", at the start of a post, be used to indicate the time at which that post was *started* by the player, using that player's local time. This option follows the way ACT presently teaches Cadets on how to use the Stardate.

*****
OPTION B
*****

That the Stardate, located in "The Big Three", at the start of a post, be used to indicate the time at which that post was *sent* by the player, using that player's local time.

Votes:
Sub-fleet A: Option B
Sub-fleet B: Option B
Sub-fleet C: Option A
Sub-fleet D: Option A
Sub-fleet E: Option A

Outcome: Option A has passed. Res0127 is closed. Any further appeals or ammendments will have to be submitted as a resolution in accordance with the rules of this Council.

Note: COs, please make your crews aware of this "change", even if it is the way they are alraedy doing it, this will serve to set it in writing for future reference.
