Question A rather dull question at this point...

[Abbey Gailstrom]

Why is metric absolutely required for bios when not everyone uses it?

 

[Allyson Locke]

Abbey Gailstrom

Metric isn't required. There's nothing in the rules for bios that state it people I guess just like it.

 

[Abbey Gailstrom]

I meant in every template for a character bio that Tef has, that made me think it was required fully cause they all say it

 

[Aether Verd]

Allyson Locke - I think they're referring to each bio template having metric required in the Height/Weight fields?

 

[Abbey Gailstrom]

I am

If you look at Factory and Codex, for example, it really is mandatory to use the metric system. As a European, I have no idea what the conversion to US measurements is, and probably no one outside the US knows either... So, if you include this information in your bio (in metric), it will be a big plus point for non-American writers, because they will know this information without having to use Google.

 

[Abbey Gailstrom]

The only reason I use imperial in a bunch of my bios is because I natively know it, as an American.

And that's also part of why I asked, along with not knowing the conversion of Imperial to Metric without googling

Ingrid L'lerim - When I buy Chaos from Tef, first thing I'm doing is making Freedom Units mandatory

 

[Kitter Bitters]

I have both in my bio ^__^

Metric is canon in the Star Wars universe is why.

the conversion is in bald eagles and Aether Verd s freedom units. every not merica unit is ten ten bald eagles
Abbey Gailstrom worse case scenario just ask google. even I have to do it sometimes as Ingrid has caught me making someone so large but they had barely 100 pounds

 

[Persephone Dashiell]

As an American writer, I just convert to metric to make it easier for the rest of the board. Not everyone uses freedom units.

If you want freedom numbers just use freedom numbers in your bio. It’s not mandatory it’s just there because it’s what was put in the template.

Factory is the only place that enforces meterage.

It’s not a big deal lol

 

[Erra Relve]

Okay cool.

 

[Valiens Nantaris]

America and Liberia are the only countries which (ironically) use Imperial units. Google is freely available to convert.

Metric is the Star Wars measurement, it's just how it is, just like how D&D is all in feet and yards. If the rest of the world can figure that out, you can figure out metric.
