Heeeey, For No Particular Reason I Was Curious About Cycle Length In Your AU [in Relation To March],

Heeeey, for no particular reason I was curious about cycle length in your AU [in relation to March], since apparently in downpour, something like 25000+ cycles went by between SRS sending the golden pearl and then sending Spearmaster again to check up on Pebsi. And like.. regardless of the length of a cycle, 25000 is a LOT, and I saw a post [that I naturally can't find right now] about how because Spears is the one who delivered the golden pearl and obviously is the one you play as in the campaign, that means Spearmaster is.. REALLY old. Got any thoughts on that idea?

Oh man I didn't even catch that canon Spearmaster would be this old.......

Overall, a really average cycle in RoF would be equal to a week;

I felt like that made the Slugcats' nomadic lifestyle a bit more interesting, relaxed and easier to tackle without rain coming to kill them at the end of each day.

Rain World's timeline is really wack for me because of some events being thousands of cycles apart from each other, while some of them (like Hunter's playthrough) last only a few (in RoF, she managed to live a LOT longer than a few weeks, keeping the 19 as is in game would be terrible). I'm pretty loose when it comes to RoF's timeline as well because of that.

The exact number of years between certian events are noted down for my eyes only to not make a character vacant for like. 20 years for whatever reason and have them do something in the background while someone else is in the spotlght, so I don't really share those notes around

When it comes to March - for this AU, they're specifically made for the Golden Pearl's delivery and go back with the Dark Red one no more than around 3-5 years as well. I imagine that purposed-organism Slugcats somehow spawn in as adults already, so funnily enough Spears and Hunter, despite being fully-grown, would be absurdly young if counting their years spent on earth since their creation. As much as a vision of an Iterator babysitting and training a baby Slugcat would be super wholesome, I didn't go that route.
