Let's allow those whose only contribution have been hindering the process to take over under the will of someone who's displayed a vast ignorance of the fundamental aspects of the reset. The lore requires a change in mechanics. The new formats require a change in mechanics. If you aren't capable of accepting that, then you should just scrap the entire thing.
It seems like you people never even attempted to understand my original suggestion. I simply meant that an explanation based on physical theory (or at least canon theory, which remains undefined because of your resistance) is required for technology and the function of that technology should be within the range of not-fucking-retarded based on the explanation and physical principals behind it (shields were the topic that sparked this tick contest, that's far from resolved). This leads to the banishment of god materials and stupid physics because, if it can't be explained without the use of things within the range of not-fucking-retarded, then it shouldn't exist within our universe at all, at least within the first few hundred years of lore (I'm not sure if many of you understand the concept of time either). The need exits to define the physics of the universe and I couldn't satisfy everyone. knew a group would be upset. Unfortunately, it turned out to be the loudest, most obnoxious one. But I digress. Defining the physics. It's a lazy writing prevention device and it actually allows for quite a bit of other new devices to work their way into the lore if you want to take a little time to think about it. At least it'll make lore less childish (why even bother when giant, firebreathing owls are a major canon point, really).
If you think I'm just being bitter, then you're goddamn right I'm bitter. It seems like some of you saw what used to be my want to improve the universe as a challenge and an invitation to become my personal enemy. I'm so sorry that I was trying to be honest and not so pretentiously over-diplomatic. Let's rub mucus membranes and make up. And please don't say "You were being a megalomaniac and developing a god complex, cats, and little ol' me was just being the white knight that everyone needed and deserved *violent * sounds*." I just can't handle that level of moral autofellatio from anyone at this point. I realized that I'd have to do some things that people wouldn't like when I started, but I didn't realize that a change like requiring people to explain their shield mechanisms would set you all off so quickly and catastrophically. Can't say I wasn't warned, though. Then again, maybe I am taking this a bit too personally, it is kind of difficult not to when the people that I chose (or were chosen) to build the lore alongside me assist only in its downfall.
Thus ends my justification and insults. Probably. Probably not, actually, I know someone will have some asinine comment to which I'll be forced to make an equally asinine comeback. If you decide to scrap the program (which seems to be the popular choice at the moment), I'll probably stay out of the RP section for a while, at least the lore writing/structuring parts. At least I'll try. I know I'll just drag myself back here, though, because I have one hell of a self-destructive streak, apparently. As much as I wish I didn't care, I still do.
