1) So, I can't read the mission reports of famous heroes of the Temple of Freedom, because as far as you're concerned, we don't need them, so they don't actually exist IC. Thanks to there being no history, I don't even know who the famous heroes of the ToF are. 2) So where actually do I come from? Or do I not? Did Juilin miraculously fade into existence from nowhere just before we timed in for the first game? Wait a minute, I'm asking the wrong person. Hang on, I'll just go and change my backplot to match.
1) What are you saying about dyslexics, stutterers and people new to roleplay? It sounds like you're saying they haven't got the ability to write two thousand words. I don't know what you are, but I'm a stutterer and I find that quite offensive. You don't need to talk to type. If you're dyslexic, does it mean you don't have creative ideas and so you need never to flesh out your character by knowing more about them? Must all dyslexics play one-dimensional walking stats because they haven't the ability to write? I'll leave my opinion of that unsaid, but suffice to say I think it smells bad and comes from the ass of male cows. 2) No-one thought to keep records of family trees or royal lineage? Say what??? What kind of blithering incompetents are the people in this Barony? I mean all of the people in this barony? If they haven't the wherewithall to keep records, they are obviously so incoherently random that they are prime for overthrowing. Roll on the Barbarians getting their birthright and beating us all to a pulp. 3) How can you be agreeing to this if you feel that overly defining who peopole are and what they do is wrong? When I said I wanted the world to carry on, I didn't mean for everyone to stand still and breathe, I meant for everyone to carry on. 4) It was a book parody that was released while the film is playing at cinemas. Do you honestly expect me to believe that the film being new didn't have anything to do with it? You do have a low opinion of me... This was not so much a stab at you, as at every non-original plotline that comes into larp - and you've already said that you like parody larps, so we're always going to disagree on this point. 5) However, if I suggest something, and Pete suggests something different, I'd bet gold to grease that I would be the one people were apologising to. Having run larps cements you above others who have been here as long as you, but someone who has run fifty larps and been here for three years would net get the same level of trust as someone who has run forty over eight.
And if I bring out a different insignia, people will see me once again trying to define their world by having one in the first place - and I'll get told I shouldn't.
I don't see why they should bother getting a campaign overview written - unless it's by someone who has been here a long time, then everyone will naturally accept it. I doubt I'll be around to care.
