At least that's how I remember it and that's what my Library entries said before I recently edited them, so that's what I'm sticking with.
Well regardless, I think you are right, though for a different reason than you state.

Ampelas joined Asteri in 1108 because the Senate session hadn't started yet. It was a weird space of time between when Ampelas posted his last report and when the session opened.

From now on, it might be good to make this clear. The year that a Senate session starts in, doesn't start until the session itself starts.

That is what was confusing me. I thought the dead space in between the last Megas report, and the new Senate session, was actually 1110.

Unless you want to claim that years begin when the last Megas report ends.

I think it would work fine either way as long as we were consistent.

Why this is important is because feudal chain changes seem to happen right before a Senate session. And the time-in-rank thing is important to keep track of since it has to do with an avatar's political power.
