Moidfy the rule titled “Influence” by changing the second paragraph to read…

If a Traveller has Influence X and either e has no Companion or eir CTL is the same as eir TL, then that Traveller’s Range consists of all Game Dates from X years before eir TL to X years after eir TL.  If a Traveller with a Companion has Influence X and eir CTL is not the same as eir TL, then that Traveller’s Range consists of all Game Dates from X/2 years before eir TL to X/2 years after eir TL and all Game Dates from X/2 years before eir CTL to X/2 years after eir CTL.  All date ranges are inclusive of the end dates.  All fractions are rounded towards the centre of the Range and fraction rounding occurs immediately on the years so that Ranges always stretch a whole number of years either side of the centre.

Add the following explanatory paragraph to the end of the rule titled “Influence” unless half of the counted FOR votes contain the text “No explanation required”.

For example, if a Traveller has a TL of 1550/5/5, a CTL of 1440/3/2 and an Influence of 9 then eir range is 1546/5/5 to 1554/5/5 and 1436/3/2 to 1444/3/2.

for .  However, fractions should be left as is because half a year difference is still useful.

I think keeping whole numbers of years simplifies things, even though a half a year could be useful. for neat
