Calender Conundrum

so, what's up with the Game world's crazy calender? some months are really long, others are super-short, and they all have strange names.
i kind of started wondering about this because today (the day i typed this at least) is the 2nd day of Doom. i saw that and i was like, what? that doesn't sound good. so i looked at the calender, and Doom is only five days long. it made me really curious as to how the month got its name and length, it sounds like there had to be a story behind it, but i can't find any info about it. Anybody got any guesses?

  • I have long wanted to know the story behind the months and holidays!

  • Would you really *want* Doom to last longer than that?  I mean seriously.

  • lol, i think you're right Annuska. Maybe it's like Friday the 13th, exept 5 days long.

  • Since the clock moves at 4x speed in-game, a month that is 5 Ur days long is just over one earth day...

  • As an aside, I paid very close attention to the calendar while writing my story. For example, near the end when they are trapped in the cavern takes place during Zilloween.

    The number of day in each month is different and is prime.

    Not counting "Recurse." there are 307 day in the Ur year (also prime).

    Some month names are obvious... others mysterious. (Like Fever for example)
