Poll, Lore Reset

[ACH0225]

Sounds good to me; Iv was just having random humans suddenly become starship pilots.

[҉]

Also as for LJS I have a lil Q for you - what happened to the Humans on Earth ? You just told there is some random butt colony created from some owl refugees but no word about the billions of ppl inhabiting the blue planet. IF you planned to destroy Earth in any way just as I said above it won't do for me.

What is the heck? Nothing you just wrote has any bearing on what I said. Did you read it? Humans (and everyone else) evolved from Strigiforme bacteria-analogue fertilizer. Earth happened and was then conquered. I'm unclear on what you think I suggested.

[Iv121]

As I said in order to create a population of significant size on Earth you will need a thousand years and a crashed fleet on Earth. As far as I know the UTA is still one whole unit and didn't fracture anywhere.

Usually the faulty of most of your tales and RP entries is that they are too bland , they easily fit one and the same formula with a mere change of names. I start to see better written pieces from time to time but the average quality of those posts is still bad, you know why ? Because you make something too bland not only by leaving all details out and using straightforward sentences like "Mike sat on the fence. Jake saw Mike and sat on the fence, too". Instead what you do is over-saturate your pieces, both in the ways of content and description. You have one big event after another , species die left right and center , Earth gets blown twice a year (You actually blew up Earth indirectly at least twice during the same timeline), same goes to your sentences, you know that writing style of yours that tries to avoid the main point until the very last sentence after like 5 paragraphs, trying to create a fake sense of suspension that ultimately fails because of the long and pointless wait. Back to the big events all over, they just loose their impact, become meaningless, unneeded pieces of information that can be removed entirely. Now that all of your lore consists of such pieces you can basically remove the whole lore without feeling too bad about it, its insignificant.

The lore you made isn't really a lore, its more of an attempt to explain why during each RP all factions start from scratch, and so in order to explain it you say the universe dies in between RPs, GJ such a great solution. Instead let the lore remain there untouched, defining your flavor instead of going out on this meaningless goose chase. Try to make sense out of it, couse Im not buying a single piece of it, even if you add fancy names of star systems to the list, again all that it is is a universe where all species die all the time.

Also just to let you know a species that all that is left from it is one escaped slave ship is an extinct species, surely not a space faring one, because we became what we are nowadays because we collectively sustained a vast amount of knowledge gathered over the years. One person cannot hold it all, that is why we have hundreds and thousands of professions, each excelling at a specific task we gave it and remembering only the pieces relevant to it. Each piece cannot exist alone nor does it know how the whole mechanism works, however when you unite all of them together you get a functioning society that works more or less well (though some improvements could be made). Either way remove pieces of that puzzle and you will loose knowledge, how many pieces do you think you can fit onto a slave ship where all that there is is as you said slaves ? Perhaps they will survive but they will exist as an undeveloped species, definitely not space empires. They won't even strive towards space, they have nothing to search for there, it will take thousands of years before they will be able to travel through space again. They won't have the scientists to develop all the lost knowledge, people with such capabilities are not too common in our world, and now imagine you reduced it to a few thousands.

I don't think that text wall was directed at me, but I do want to point out that you're a hell of a one to talk about annoying writing styles, Iv. Let he who is without assholery throw the first turd and all that.

[Prototype]

*throws turd*

[Iv121]

Well perhaps my writing style is imperfect but my content is good enough to let me talk, ok mate ? Good, you cant deny that you blow up too much crap, its fairly obvious and if its not Id like to point out that around 75% of all factions got annihilated one way or another, stingifrome, all terran factions which make like 66%, lets be honest its really crappy lore . I just want that you really wanna make one basic lore make it proper, otherwise don't touch it, just don't touch it, let it be the 1001 separate lores and everyone could make it the way they want it and maybe agree with some friends on shared lore pieces, otherwise just don't tocuh it.

Okay, Iv, while the other folks here might be shunning your lore, tone it down, please.

First off, I'm having difficulty interpreting what you're trying to say. Punctuation, please, it helps immesurably.

Secondly, the Strigiforme have always served as the local Big Bad for FC, so of course they blow stuff up.

That said, Iv does have some pretty good content here, guys, so maybe we can take chunks from everybody's stories and meld them into one canon.

[ACH0225]

Iv, they write like that because they speak english fluently. Their flowery prose is how stories are supposed to be written.

Also, this is like 5 thousand cavemen put into their natural habitat. Because we hae this site and stuff, obviously they would develop. Also, there were once only 10,000 humans in the world. Clearly, you survived

[Iv121]

Yes, you know it took me 125,000 to 150,000 years to reach that state from 10,000 souls , really owl toy around with that however you want it won't make much sense.I couldn't care less about how well I speak English right now, pls focus on the main argument instead of trying to add little meaningless comments, we are talking abotu faction lore here.

Dude, you can't start off the personal attacks and then call out others for doing the same. That just isn't how this works.

Also, you seem to be confusing me with other people sometimes. At least, I think you are. I could be wrong.

[ACH0225]

Iv, that time with 10,000 humans was only 70,000 years ago, and dates here can be pretty fluid.

[Chairman_Tiel]

Lol wtf is even going on anymore.

No one's trying to blow up Earth. And Iv, like Jedi said, you should be the last person to be criticizing the writing of others

Otherwise, I think I've presented my thoughts here, so, peace.

[Iv121]

I cannot criticize spelling but I can criticize the content, oh hell I can. And I didn’t assault anyone personally LJS, and I know well who you are and there are other people besides you. What I said was that the contents of the lore you are trying to make just don't make sense no matter how you turn them around, instead my complaint was that for some reason ACH decided to counter-argument me by arguing about something unrelated to the argument, I don’t care if someone tries to criticize me personally, that happens in around 75% of all posts here.

[Error]

Iv, I'm just going to throw it ou there that the way you post sometimes makes stuff hard to understand. Misinterpretation is pretty well guarunteed to happen sometimes.

Also, we're working out the lore here, so yes, we have a pile of seperate ideas, and those will eventually become the actual thing. Keyword, eventually.

Peace.

[Chairman_Tiel]

I say we just get LJS's timeline, ACH's, and Iv's in a room and wait for the magic to happen.

*COUGH* POLYGAMOUS SEXUAL INTERCOURSE *COUGH*

I think everyone's outlined what they want, now it's just a question of merging them together in a way that makes sense.
