    I want to know what time scale people are on that they think slightly over a month is a "short" period of time.

    There's actually a number of ways to look at it being a short period of time. The most prevalent is for financial outlooks. There are players who are a little tight on their budget, yet find the $10-15 a worthwhile expenditure for entertainment, that would definitely feel that a month is short. Most of the time, we aren't paid by the day. Normal pay periods are twice a month, of which perhaps much of it goes to higher priority responsibilities. Sometimes, they have to take breaks, and when you live by paycheck, there are going to be infrequent periods of time (often a month or so because of pay periods) that you can't really afford to pay for entertainment. /datlife

    Otherwise, there are situations like children, especially newborns, where periods of time are going to be practically every second of the day involving responsibilities pertaining to family/kids. School/finals/etc are often another one. Very small FCs, especially ones that only consist of RL friends/family, will run into these exact situations from time to time.
