I hope this could help you out:

Well we have one in-game quarter per out of character week. So this means that in one in-game quarter there is three in-game months which can be divided into difference out of character days.
Please note that in-game months that have three/two-and-a-half out of character days are months with 31 days while two out of character days are in-game months that only have 30 days.

1st & 4th Quarter (Every Quarter starts at Monday)
- Monday to Wednesday (until noon): January/October
- Wednesday (starting noon) to Friday (until noon): February/November
- Friday (starting noon) to Sunday: March/December

2nd Quarter
- Monday to Tuesday: April
- Wednesday to Friday: May
- Saturday to Sunday: June

3rd Quarter
- Monday to Wednesday (until noon): July
- Wednesday (starting noon) to Friday: August
- Saturday to Sunday: September

NOTE: Use the time of what the time of the forums is. :D

I know it's complicated but, just posted it to help you out with the months if you plan to insert months into your RP. :D I hope it helps.

YES! This is really useful! This should be pinned or whatever to insure that it's up there with the other important things.

While it's a good idea, 21c generally uses a light version of 'fluid time', meaning that if this week is, say, 2nd Quarter of 2009, any posts made this week can be slated for any period in that timeframe.

Not to be mean, but what purpose exactly would this serve?

Well not to make RP events like mixed up. Let say an RP News said June then suddenly a news that was RPed before June. Well...it's only a help. I mean...it doesnt need to be incorporated, just a guide only. :D

I figure it wouldn't be till the 11th too...but idk.
I'm waiting till tuesday to get some revenues announcements for Australia. We'll still be in the appropriate quarter, so I can just fix the budget however I like...but I can't do anything until i have the budget.

I don't like it being set in stone. Why? Because I did my elections yesterday, which means they technically weren't done in May (elections for Germany's President are held every five years on May 23 unless resignation/death/whatever), which I guess makes them illegal or something. I don't know.

I like it to be within a vague half a year atleast.
I mean, for chronological sake, I don't want to Rp something later on during a period, that should have been Rped earlier.
Of course, what if we just made a vague two weeks equals a half year. People could interpret that more freely?

the reason why we have week long time periods instead of day long time periods to allow, as Dax mentioned, fluid time. Especially if you are absent for 4 days of a week.

NO! NO! NO! ABSLOUTELY NOT! I have had this set in stone since 2005 or whenever we started that you would not be confined to certain days.

Addendum: You are free to pursue your own private timeline if you like to keep orderly, but there will be no enforcing of months during the week.
