When is it time for a new official census?

[Jonas]

Lazy Director... I'm waiting a month for the answer... and what do I get? Nothing!

*Mumbles further in himself and walk away*

[hypatias mom]

Jonas--Sorry about the delay. The mangoes weren't working and I'm afraid I didn't see your post. The census is conducted on a bi-monthly basis, and it is now time to post your information again, following the form given.

[Scott of Hyperborea]

Here's a complaint (though not for poor, long-lost Chimaera):

CENSUS MONTHS SHOULD BE ACCORDING TO THE SHIREROTH CALENDAR!

[Oroigawa Koreyasu]

Hey man, I'm steward, not MiniImNat...

[Harald of Froyalan]

Scott,

Please refrain from shouting in this office.

Which law or regulation stipulates that Census months should be in the Shireroth calendar then?

Hmm, isn't this more of a vocal request? One that I happen to agree with? Shouldn't be all too difficult to change the custom here.

[Harald of Froyalan]

If he has a request for something to be changed then he ought to call it a request as well as provide some good reasons why that matter should be changed.

TRADITION!

[Harald of Froyalan]

Since most censuses were according the Gregorian calendar, tradition clearly directs otherwise. Shireroth calendar censuses were only used for a relatively brief period from late 2005 through early 2006 so they ceased more than two years ago.

(takes tissue from fishy, which is, of course, already wet)

[Malliki]

Your Niftiness, can't you just order the MiniImNat to use the Shirerithian calendar?

[Harald of Froyalan]

His Niftiness is a traditionalist.

[Oroigawa Koreyasu]

All this talk of the MiniImNat not doing this and forcing the MiniImNat do to that, when he had nothing to do with the current census

[Malliki]

Okay, why don't you use the Shirerithian months then? The next time?

[Oroigawa Koreyasu]

Perhaps I will. That is a matter of initiative.

[Kaiser Loki III]

I'm not going to order or decree it. I thoink it's cool to use the Shirithian calendar, but I forget, and I'm not going to chastise others for my failings.

I could, but i won't.

Today at least.
