[OOC][PLOT] Galaxy Building (Where we make Magrathea look like small potatoes)

[Black Aeronaut]

I can see why folks care about this, but as far as I'm concerned, you're arguing over which Wizard Did It. Have fun.

Snrk.

Thing is, which wizard did it will, as I said earlier, have an effect on how things shake out in Seasons 3 and 4.  This just happens to satisfy our collective goals and my personal one.

Collectively, we want a story that's truly epic in proportion, leaves us a fun world to play in should we want to continue writing stories, and is entertaining to read, preferably with a bit of everything for everyone without getting into 'grim derp' territory.  (I'll delve a bit more into this in a bit.)

My goals are pretty much all the above, but also to have as few Suspension of Disbelief Breaking elements as possible.  Which means having plausible answers for things like, "Why are the Kamis from Tenchi Muyo stuck with Limiters?"  In this case, short answer, their over-selves made that arrangement with the Goddess Relief Network because they're working in cooperation.

So, now that everyone is on board with this, lemme get into tone for a minute here.

Guys, I don't mind if there's some edge to our stories.  In fact, Deconstruction by its very definition mandates it to a certain degree.  As long as we're keeping it down to Bubblegum Crisis or Shadow Run levels of edge, then I'm fine with it - just keep it realistic.  Note that I have freakin' Kyubey running around already, and making contracts with little girls.  It's in the background for the moment, but in a fairly short time it's going to come into the foreground.

The earlier knee-jerk reactions to some of Dartz's stuff early on was due to misunderstands on all sides.  Dartz didn't really catch on to the idea that, per rules of Deconstruction, that each group has an oversight set by Lord Phantomhive as well as a cooperative network between the managers (e.g.: the Good Neighbor System).  And for our part, we didn't understand exactly where Dartz was going with his story - we kinda jumped the gun there and I honestly feel embarrassed about that.
