Distance Measurement? - Kubrickb - 04-11-2011
I'd like to come up with a Kiwike standard for measuring distance. I have a name in mind..but wanted to get a consensus about the best x/z conversion.
SOmething like Every 1,000 Blocks = League
Every 100 Blocks =
1 block = Paces
just toss some idea's around. I would like it to be universal for all future road signs so lets be creative and uniform!

Good initiativ!
Im interested how you came up with League. Please, tell me more.
Anyhow, what about like every 100 Blocks = Tenth's?
I like Pace on the other hand. Easy to remember.

Hmmm....I like a 10 unit measurement....oh call every 10 blocks a Span. So 2 Spans x 2 Spans + 20x20.
Still need a good one for 100...I feel like that is going to be the best one for measuring between Cities and with Road signs in the wild.
Mavenholm: 8 ________ = 800 blocks away.
Bludwick: 2 Leagues 6 ________ and 53 paces= 2,653 (exact measurement)

How about a Wik? Dunno, took it out of Kiwike lol. It's short and rolls off the tongue.
RE: Distance Measurement? - Kubrickb - 04-13-2011
I like that for the 1,000 Block...sorta like a candle wick....it takes 1 candle Wik to cross the distance!
