[Illusion]

1. I never meant that you made characters that became a mess, I'm saying that the route you took to write the story itself became a mess. "I quite literally *had* to create them from scratch, as we had never had an event on that planet before." And I'm asking why it had to be that way and why you could come up with an idea or element that made it so it didn't require you to make 60 different billion characters.

2. I'm not saying you did in the past had a power trip. You explain perfectly you couldn't had, and I confirmed that it was very much true. But I'm saying that getting the complete freedom to start anew is somewhat of a power trip, especially when there are so many ways to fix the current storyline to begin with. Coda mentions on how the planets can't logically be in space at the distance their at with the only explanation being magic, I'm saying write a good explanation as to why and how, and that itself could be an interesting story within itself. (Top of the head thought, a device on the planets that was made in yee olden times that kept the 3 planets that were to collide with each other intact.)

3. And Masquerade, and Fight for Freedom I did like them... And everything after that was. Well erm.. Yeah. This is even with the exception of any sort of Roleplaying and not what I meant at all as in terms of how the actual story is written. And how it could be written as you originally created, but it can give off the sense of illusion (oh hey unintentional name drop lol) that makes people feel as though they are making a choice or doing something for the plot, when in actuality it's just following the course of events you originally planned to happen.
I wasn't suggesting for staff members to roleplay around in the forums, and I was suggesting, well, read my previous edit of the type 2 of event/story I was pointing out.

4. I'm on the stance that you can still easily fix everything that is currently wrong with the old story or at least transition into a complete reboot that doesn't completely wipe out everything that has happened in the past beforehand. (Which is why I mentioned X-Men: Days of Future Past. I'm not saying that we should use time travel and that will fix everything, but I'm saying that the plot device of time travel used in this movie to make all the movies that came before it never happened, giving the movie series a soft reset while still having their entire cast and characters and the audience knowing full well who they are from the other movies despite the franchise soft reseting itself. <-- I don't think I'm explaining this too well, but I hope you follow.

5. Now this is opinionated and could go either way. I say it's better for a soft reset then a complete reset.

6. (Nothing to really say here.)

7. High standard...? Um. Sure, I thought I had a pretty low standard, but uh okay.


No no, you wrote everything out pretty well. Nicely spaced, and was nicely broke down somewhat. So the wall of texts clause was not in effect and I came out unaffected.
