The problem with changing 1 min to = 1 min is that Layonara would have only been going for three years then. People can travel across a continent in five mintues, and large meetings of thirty people last for an hour (when it should last for several).
That's still a problem as it is now, if it takes you 4 RL minutes to run across Mistone that's still only 1 hour in game, however it's better than having your character age rappidly. If that was the case Tak would probably be 200+ years old, if he isn't already.
If I do something yesterday, I say yesterday so as not to confuse myself or anyone else. However most people know the time ratios so it doesn't phase them in their RP. That's cool with me. Just try not to read too much into it.
