Included our date format standard that we've been using since the founding of this team.

 * '''In cases where a minimal character count is needed, the extreme minimal shorthand for the ''403 Aurelius'' project should be "aur".'''
   * Rationale: This is an extension of the rule above, but further extended to the cases where we require a short set of characters to describe the project. For instance, it may serve as a short prefix for other naming conventions (like the map naming convention below).
+* '''All dates written in shorthand form must be of the following format: YYYY.MM.DD'''
+  * Rationale: Due to the international nature of the team, everyone uses a different format. To ensure that there is never any confusion within the team, shorthand date numbers in this project will be written in order from largest unit to smallest unit: Year, Month, Day.
+* '''All written times must include BOTH a time zone, and AM/PM. The AM/PM may be omitted if the time is unambiguously in 24-hour format.'''
+  * Rationale: Due to the international nature of the team, everyone is in a different time zone. Also, not including AM/PM is just asking for confusion, so please just do it.
 * '''All work on the project should be streamed live to the public.'''
   * Rationale: This is an open-dev project. It is ideal that all people can see exactly what is being worked on, and when. This helps put our work in context with the rest of the world as it occurs.
