Say we use the Destruction of Beacon as such.

15 BDB (Before Destruction of Beacon) :  Ruby Rose's Birth

0 BDB : Beacon is destroyed.

1 ADB (After Destruction of Beacon) : Shion Village is destroyed, Tyrian battles RNJR and Qrow Problem: It hasn't even been a year since the Fall of Beacon. The timeskip was placed around 6-8 months, which was then retconned at the RTX Sydney panel and implied to be less than that but no solid dates were given. So the destruction of Shion Village wouldn't be 1 ADB as it hasn't even been a year yet.

It's due to this unclear timeline that I'm really not in favour of assigning solid dates to anything except where RT specifically says something; Ruby's birthdate, the end of the Great War, etc are all fine, but we can't put a date on the destruction of Shion Village so I don't think we should.
