Make sure to put some serious considering into voting before doing so; the outcome of the vote doesn't necessarily determine a decision either, but rather to get a discussion going.
My opinion is that 7 day years would be an overall negative for Meranthe, due to how long it would take for characters to age, generations to grow up and pass over, and for children to be of a playable age. From conception to playability, it'd be over two months for a PC child to be available, f.ex. Or even just going from a child to adult, that timespan is longer than what many people actually stick to a character for. Characters would rarely, if ever, hit age nerfs, and we wouldn't get to see many elder types around.
To me, this is unbearably slow, and history also won't be established as well. Right now at five days we get 70 years per IRL year, and I like knowing that in a few IRL years, we're going to have centuries of history to reference with Meranthe.
But that isn't to say I don't see the positives of 7 day years. It's a bit more realistic, and less pressure to get stuff done. I'm mainly making an argument against to play devil's advocate because IMO the current flow is underappreciated.
