| Late on December 6th, 2015, Resident [[people:Yagira]] visited Midgard Municipality in order to secretly test a plugin bug exploit he discovered, on chests he had already raided once before. During his time on the island, two Yevs vanished from the Administration Residence. When this was included in charges of hacking and theft, and he was banned for one day because he would not leave our settlement, he angrily used a ban evasion and returned. This time, he was caught in flagrante killing four more live-in merchants, and killed by Intern Nitu, who has before shown great dedication in defending the populace from hostiles. When the charges were brought to God AlphaBernd, a sentence of a one week ban was issued for the witnessed quadruple murder. Resident Yagira accepted the punishment, and animosity could be laid to rest.\\ | Late on December 6th, 2015, Resident [[people:Yagira]] visited Midgard Municipality in order to secretly test a plugin bug exploit he discovered, on chests he had already raided once before.

| + | === Stagnation === | ||
| + | |||
| + | Following a two-month period of only sporadic activity, Administrator Jinx suddenly left Midgard Municipality in January 2017, citing a necessity of viewing ether dreams and engaging in explorations and battles in some other reality. Thereby left to flounder around their daily lives in confusion, many residents fell into depression or madness, suffocating in walls or throwing themselves at dangerous creatures. Some lethargically hid in glass walls, others went dumb.\\ | ||
| + | In an effort to curb the threat of populace extinction, a mathematician named Emit suggested to collectively engage in counting the days until Administrator Jinx would return. As the days of Alpha's Realm are comparatively short, their numbers soon exceeded easy calculation and indeed provided the remaining populace with enough mental engagement to keep their sanity and lives, and their children flourished.\\ | ||
| + | 42,748 days passed before Administrator Jinx returned to Midgard Municipality.\\ | ||
| + | Being confronted with that number and a proposition to continue counting Midgard time, or rather to start counting it that way from its official foundation date (87,221 days since then), Administrator Jinx reluctantly agreed under the condition that at least a calendar system similar to that from the ether be established.\\ | ||
| + | Upon the populace's consent, Emit was tasked with developing one, and soon presented a decimal-based system which is described in detail under the section [[https://dev-urandom.eu/settlements:midgard#culture | Culture]]. As a reward for his efforts, Emit was promoted to Educator and will oversee all future schooling in Midgard Municipality.\\ | ||
| + | \\ | ||
| + | === Withdrawal === | ||
| + | |||
| + | Having thus been made aware of his people's struggling during his absence, as well as discovered the many deaths that had occurred, Administrator Jinx vowed to take exclusive care of Midgard Municipality henceforth. Within four days, he removed Midgard's presence from Spawn City by demolishing the store, stalls and vault. The nursery was completed, the farms repaired, glassed-in residents freed, and a general uplift of spirit is currently being observed.\\ | ||
| + | While the companies AMUN and DACU may still be contracted, and occasional visits to friends will certainly take place, Administrator Jinx will refrain from wanton map exploration, unrewarded repair work and self-imposed distant construction.\\ | ||

| - | From June 1st 2015 to September 1st 2016, our most unique export item was the MARNIE newspaper, standing for 'Midgard Alpha's Realm News, International Edition'. It was at first published weekly, then monthly as of March 2016. During September 2016, Editor Jam came to the decision to discontinue the newspaper as a regular issue and only compile an edition should special occurrences in Alpha's Realm warrant it. As such, the newspaper got relegated to chronicle status as of October 2016. At the New Spawn Book Store right at the south-eastern Oranji Corner of the New Spawn Plaza, MARNIE's latest eight issues can still be bought a for 1 Emerald, as well as sporadic future editions for 1 Leather and 1 Ink Sac, a prize that has been decided to never change in order to ensure easy availability. Various other books from different authors are sold there for emeralds.\\ | + | From June 1st 2015 to September 1st 2016, our most unique export item was the MARNIE newspaper, standing for 'Midgard Alpha's Realm News, International Edition'.

The report on the events leading to the war - as well as the one covering the battle itself - turned out too extensive to be included into any one newspaper issue, necessitating the printing of independent books.

On a realmwide scale, the printing of maps, paintings and banners were included as regular tasks.

| + | After the age of stagnation, during which the populace started literally counting days, Educator Emit developed a decimal calendar system: Ten days would be a week, ten weeks a month, ten months a year. In order to avoid confusion with the existing ether calendar, he also suggested slightly changed names for the units, so that the following system will be used within Midgard Municipality as of September 2018:\\ | ||
| + | 1 yar = 10 mon = 100 wek = 1000 dar\\ | ||
| + | There will be no separate plural forms. //Dar// is the day unit, //wek// the week unit, //mon// the month unit and //yar// the year unit. One dar compares to twenty minutes in ether time, but the populace has taken to only differentiate between sunrise, noon, sunset and midnight. Ten dar make one wek, ten wek make one mon, ten mon make one yar, and the individual units will not be named, just numbered.\\ | ||
| + | For the Autism Almanac, this system will be converted in the more familiar ether calendar so as not to confuse future visitors too much.\\ | ||
