If it's not enjoyable is the problem the world, the setting, the system, or the way you approach it?
'Tree as an insignia, people will think I'm being a sourpuss'. People will think your being a sourpuss if you act like a sourpuss.
Surely other people would share your complaints if it was just the world? Surely people wouldn't be doing it still 8 years later?
Honestly it's long ago so I don't entirely remember. It's interesting that even now though Daenaram's back plot didn't agree with the setting you played it in: 'It was fairly common knowledge that in several years, attempts were to be made to expand the Kingdom through the formation of a new Barony, presided over by one Sc’ara Fo’uld.' wasn't the case in the world Ryan made. My impression from the time is that you sat down and wrote a story that you were entitled to do, that at somepoint your story no longer matched the setting it was in, and broke the some of the basic downtime rules - such as not been able to create NPC's that your character gain from their connection to- , and it came to Ryan's attention and he took the Ryan style solution to the problem he recieved. The day you wrote in gypsies you made a mistake. How the mistake was handled may not have been the best approach, but it happened.
