Okay started a version of the table... I have to stop, I'm feeling quite sick today (felt the same yesturday when I was going to do it). I'll leave it here for a few hours for people to comment on it. --One-Winged Hawk 10:52, 24 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Okay, this evening I feel a lot better and I can think straight without wanting to throw up (to the other editors: yeah sorry for that pretty imagine).


 * I'm thinking grey in colour... Perhap a darker grey for the text, maybe even adjust the text to be blockier. The table itself may even be altered so the blackground is a light grey. Why do these things?  To make the table look like stone, moslty to match the idea of Poneglyphs and all.  Opinions on that?  I can produce a mock-up if anyoen likes that idea tomorrow.  (Going to be spending the next 2 hours cooking food so have no time to finish that tonight).--One-Winged Hawk 19:12, 24 September 2008 (UTC)

Argh! Just remembered I promied to finish this. *Ahem*, right going to work on it now... ^_^' --One-Winged Hawk 10:28, 25 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Used the fantasy font as a demo, but its not easy to read... Need to find one which is. However, regardless the example "b" table is up.  I'm off to find a better example font face.  --One-Winged Hawk 11:14, 25 September 2008 (UTC)


 * About 4 examples now and the normal text version. Let me know if any of that is any good PPL.  Or if one of those fonts doesn't even work for you.--One-Winged Hawk 11:23, 25 September 2008 (UTC)


 * I think the Castellar font is the closet to what I was aiming for... --One-Winged Hawk 11:34, 25 September 2008 (UTC)

Well
I still think we should add AOH or AOS at the end of the years because for example if you look in Star Wars Wikia they always have BBY or ABY at the end of every years and in Lords of the Rings they would type TA, SA and FA at the end of every years so I think we should do the same here.

 * My objection was never towards the use of AOS, AOH, AOP, etc, but that I kept having to sit there aned think about what the year was every time someone said "50 YA" or whatever. It was a confusing mess.  I preposed we had both and this table pretty much is designed to have room for both.  --One-Winged Hawk 19:08, 24 September 2008 (UTC)

Perfect! Anyway I guess we have to use YA too but with AOS and AOH. It's sure confusing, I wish Oda would hurry up and clear up the timeline epoch.

 * YA simply means "Years Ago" and I've actually seen it used in timelines. --One-Winged Hawk 19:18, 24 September 2008 (UTC)

I've been trying to comment on this since yesterday (but somehow someone beat me to a comment so I couldn't get mine in). I've sort of seen reason to use the three different time distributions in each own's way (either "Age of the Sea", "Since Roger's Death/Age of Pirates" and "Since the day Luffy set off/Present Time") but somehow all of them have their faults as well. Sort of hope we figure out where we go with this. -StrangerAtaru 13:30, 25 September 2008 (UTC)

I like the version B.

 * Which Version of Version B though? --One-Winged Hawk 16:46, 25 September 2008 (UTC)

I like the Excalibur font at the bottom. Give's it a historical feel. -StrangerAtaru 17:46, 25 September 2008 (UTC)
