1. I can't make a history for myself without defining at least some history. People gloss over the bits they define by saying it isn't really, but it's surprising how much anything anyone says, at all, defins the world. The only way not to have affected anything is to have been born and raised on a different plane and so cannot have had any interaction with anyone else. To take Orchid as an example (Adrian - I am using him because he has been used before. I am not, in any way, saying I dislike your backplot, indeed I like it and wish there were more. If you want me to stop, mail me and I'll delete this), he went to Springs' Pathfinder Academy. Lo and behold, Springs existed, there is a building somewhere and other people went to it. He has defined part of the world. It affects me because I now have to rationalise to myself why any scout I would ever bring out wouldn't have gone to Springs' academy/how much they know about it/if they swap lecturers/teachers etc. It's defining my world, but the difference is, I don't mind. I gives me something to rest on.
2. I will - correction, I would, if I were to ever be allowed near a plotstick again.
3. God forbid that anything should happen in the Barony without someone having done it/seen it/heard of it/been intimately associated with it. The world is currently entirely static. That is not down to the plot team not moving it along, it's down to people getting offended if they do.
4. Nope - I got stung too many times. Look how many people sing and dance with relieved faces while I'm not around for corroboration. The committee don't get to do anything without the say so of the more experienced people, who have the power of veto (tyranny by majority by any other name) over any decision they make. Take this years NPCs as an example.
5. My only reason for not wearing the tree would be for OOC reasoning, so rather than be as petty as that, I'm wearing nothing (well, was wearing nothing. I probably won't be playing a character in this system again), but might still buy one.
