Dates are confusing

[McAvoy]

I just noticed this on a little project i was doing. In the character story Warrior Guyver 2, he states it's Februaryy 1, 1999. Saying it was three months ago which brings the current date he was writing that story/report was three months later, being May, 1999.

Where as he arrived in the WG universe in November 11, 1999. Warrior Guyver was acticated on ocotber 3, 1999.

I assumed that the WG2 just had a time lag between Part 2 and Part 2 of Revenge. However it doesn't explain the much eariler activation of Warrior Guyver and their version of the Union of the Guyvers storyline.

Ideas?

BTW, I like this better that the Warrior Guyver was activated earlier than the official date and time was streched between Story 1 and Story 3 Part 2.

You noticed it too I personally assumed it was some sort of time space thing that happened when he traveled to WG universe.

I assumed that the WG2 just had a time lag between Part 2 and Part 2 of Revenge. However it doesn't explain the much eariler activation of Warrior Guyver and their version of the Union of the Guyvers storyline.

I think this is a case of looking for a discrepancy when there isn't one. Basically largo's assumption is correct.

It doesn't really mention WG's activation date in the WG2 fic, it only states that Jason became WG a few months prior to February which would have put it to the same time period as the WG universe Jason's activation time period.

February 1, 1999 was just the date Stephen became WG2, not Jason.

So as far as time line goes they are pretty much the same. The Jason of the WG2 universe just never experienced the Time War event and without that event Alkanphel never took a direct interest in Jason so his sister was never captured and turned into an Overlord in the WG2 universe.

There is however a time difference between realities, other realities like GWOTG are even years ahead of the WG universe for example.

Basically time works differently in the multi-verse and the natural pathways between realities don't all lead to the same time period.

WG2 could have easily wound up in any time period and it is probably thanks to the Matrix that he even got close to the same time period.

Fic wise, the time difference was needed to realistically allow WG to be around and for the world to have time after WG2 activation to prepare for at least some of humanity to escape.

So we just had him go back in time when he arrived to line him up with the main fic time line which hadn't yet reached the time period the WG2 fic ended with.

After all with Time War we already set a precedent that hyper space could be used for time travel and unlike CG, who came from the WG future, WG2 came from a parallel reality which makes time travel easier since it doesn't violate causuality.

Actually in the WG universe it is almost a full year ahead of WG2's universe. In WG2's universe WG was activated 1998. WG in WG's universe was activated in 1999.

Though Warrior Guyver 2 stated it was three months ago that he got his unit in the very beginning and it wass three months before that WG got his unit. Which would place WG's activation in WG2's universe in early August 1998. However, the current date at the time was Feb 1st, and then he got his unit at Feb 2nd. However practically right afterwards the first Warrior Kavzar appeared. I am assuming that there is not apparent time difference between his activation and the appearence of the Warrior Kavzar. I might be wrong though.

I assumed as much myself it was a temporal lag similar to the time difference between WG and W'Kar's universe.

Yes, WG2 universe did have WG happen a year ahead but the month was the same.

Remember it was stated it took place a few months before February, which means 3-4 months prior.

August would be 6 months prior.

Feb 2 was actually the next day after WG2 got his Unit and is when the WK showed up, over the next few days after that the other WK's showed up until Chronos and ACTF met and made a deal. So the whole thing took about a week, which means WG2 was telling the story from the WG universe.

Basically in addition to the time differential this was also to show the difference in the history of the two worlds.

[McAvoy]

Originally that is what I thought, that he wrote the diary/report after the events. However when the Creatora arrive that's when it switches out of the diary mode and beings as a normal story. Which suggests that WG2 wrote that diary on or around Feb. 6 or 7.

Then again even if he wrote in WG's universe, he stated three months after the events, (which is why I assumed that it was six months prior to the appearence of the first WK) which would place him writing it in March 11th, 2000, after the Seven Days fic. Assuming of course he was taking into account those three months after he arrived in WG's universe.

Actually the story went in and out of narrative perspective.

Stephen clearly stated from the beginning that he was telling the story from three months later-his time!!! So regardless of the time in the WG universe it had been 3 months for Stephen since he experienced those events.

And if you note the first and last paragraph of the second part he went back to narrative perspective as he described where he had left off and in the end when meeting himself.

It's a bit confusing but we couldn't tell the whole story from a 3rd person perspective if the person telling the story had a direct role in it.

Not to mention it was one of our first stories, and our writing skills weren't what they are now.

In fact we almost didn't finish the the WG2 story and almost dropped it for a more generic description of what happened.

But one of these days we'll do an edit and fix it up to be more clear. Though only Chronicles will do an actual re-write of the events.

[McAvoy]

Here's the problem though. Unless I missed something, on the same day or the next day, the Creators attacked him WG and WG2, he went directly to the WG universe. Three months in the WG universe. He definitely did not go to another dimension before arriving to WG's universe. That would have made no sense. He may have spent an extra three months in his universe but I highly doubt it because of the fact how the events led out.

Sorry that I am nitpicking I am just trying to fiugre out the dates in his universe and WG's universe.

The entire WG2 fic was just a week...

Feb 1, Stephen bonded with the WG2 unit... Feb 2, the first WK is encountered... the next day 20 more WK's show up all over the world until finally the ACTF meet with Alkanphel to form a plan... 2 days later the ships are ready and launch... 3 days after that the Creators show up and the final battle ensues-ending with WG2 leaving to the WG universe.

So the whole fic took place in a time frame of one week.

Also remember the moment he got to the WG universe WG2 was slammed right into action.

So really it would have been about 3 months before he would have had time to narrate what happened to him in any real detail.

Btw, WG2 officially showed up in the WG universe November 21, 1999. So he traveled forward in time reaching the WG universe.

Feb 1 to near end of Nov = ~9 months.

So basically Stephen was telling the story from his perspective of three months.

[McAvoy]

So he was telling the story in between All Things Part 4 and Meeting of the Warriors. If we were to use a straight three months, then it would be Feb 21st which is right in the middle of the Meeting of the Warriors. obviously after that story, he would have no time to sit down and write a story/report.

Ok that makes sense now.
