Gudersnipe History

The History of the Gudersnipe Foundation can best be broken down into two periods: the Army Period and the Foundation Period.

Foundation Year System

The F.Y. or Foundation Year system is a little-used calender devised by the Gudersnipe Foundation and used to make internal memos more confusing. F.Y. uses the founding of the Foundation as it's Year 0, with everything hapening before that being a negative (F.Y. -years) and everything after that counting in positives. However, the F.Y. system uses a 36-hour day, 40-day month, and ten-month year which does not correspond to Dimensional Standard Years and is thus extremly difficult to correlate with other calendars. Also, Gudersnipe School proper is the only brnach of the Foundation to run on a 36-hour day; however they still employ a 7-day week and a 12-month year. As a result, the F.Y. System is not used or even mentioned much.
