Fact: You're not my FO... Or my FA. So you telling me to do something means... Jack..
Fact: You have no connection to me IC or OOC. So your opinion? See above for equivalent value.
Fact: You're not board staff. So 1 & 2 mean even less, and the more you try to force them, the less they mean.
Fact: Your "IC Proof" is a heavy, ham-handed attempt at forcing ret-con down peoples throats.
Fact: You can't control other writers. Your repeated attempts to do so won't help in what you want. It'll be opposite.
Fact: This all could have been avoided by approaching on an IC level, and respectfully on an OOC level.
THOSE are the facts, [member="Mantic Dorn"]. Your IC "proof"? It's not exactly compelling. It is posted December 29th... That is hardly when this all went down. Only way that stops this whole situation? Is if we all accept it's place in the story retconning a kark ton of other stuff. Know how that might have been pulled off? I'll give you a hint.... It is NOT by acting like you are in this thread. We have a right to write and act as we want here. We can chose to retcon it. But from the beginning? All you lot have done is order and tell and talk down your noses to those on other sides of this. They teach you in Kindergarten all sort of things about acting like this, and how to get what you want.
Bottom line is? You are going to get a lot farther in this by being nice. By cooperatively telling a story. By working with us. And that starts with giving a little. You don't get to make a list of demands, with no concessions. You have no authority over anyone but those who chose to be in your faction. All I've seen from you is a lot of chest beating and telling us how it is. And so much passive aggression and condescension it is almost amazing. Seriously, this is not the way I expect a Faction Owner to behave. Much less how I expect a grown adult to act (I assume you are one, you've made comments about 'being old' relatively often).
I get where you are coming from, in wanting a thing you didn't plan for, or sanction, and don't like to not be happening. Believe me, I do. Point of the matter is, your 'proof' is not... well... very proofy... In order for it to be, a large portion of the board would have to accept a huge amount of retcon. And that simply isn't going to happen at gunpoint, if you'll forgive the violent imagery in that turn of phrase.
Things happened ICly. You didn't like or sanction them OOCly. You can hit the report post button and let site rules take care of themselves, if you insist on OOC trumping IC. Or you can roll up your sleeves, accept that what is happening is less than ideal, and go 'Ok, so this happened, but it shouldn't have... What can we do together to get this where we want to be, so everyone is happy?'..
Honestly? I'm done replying OOC to Republic writers and Staff on this by and large. Because, by and large, you've all shown an incredible unwillingness to work with people, in any way. So I'll see you lot ICly, because that is what this place is about, and i'm done wasting words trying to get you to understand something you are being willfully ignorant over. Good luck, Republic. You're gonna need it.
