Ah. Here we are. I'm surprised nobody bashed Will for this. That's okay. I won't either.
Here's -my- main reasoning.
I don't make new characters well. I don't. The ones I do have, I do very well, in my opinion.
What this leads to is Banj has 8 characters in Gaera.
7 of which were made roughly the same time, with the exception of Diran.
Now. Because of this, the Neo Vanists are very well developed.
Everybody either knows everything that the Neo Vanists are up to, or knows absolutely nothing about them. The former becomes agitating, and the latter becomes tiresome, as they ICly explain themselves every damn minute.
Dark Future? Meh. Derek was, originally, a joke character. But yeah, he grew. And got bothersome to play, and the difficulty for me and making new characters peeks in.
Oh!
But surely, you say, your Neo Vanist issues can be solved if only you would partake in this god-blessed Second Gen which is TEH GREAETSEST ROLEPALYPALY IDEA EVAR!1111!!!!1!one
It's fucking ridiculous. You want to know why? Because we're going to do second gen for a little while, and somebody's going to come up with the absofuckinglutely brilliant idea of third gen. And everyone will flock to that, when in reality people, the only difference is people have different characters. Everyone started screaming about AU Gaera, at Ash, if I recall, a while back. Now we're doing the same thing, it's just that ours is vaguely connectable to the previous timeline.
This is also exactly what we were arguing about before with RPs being predictable: What's the point of a board RP if you can't, legitimately, have any sort of char development that would throw off a second gen RP?
By doing even one of these goddamn things, you've severely restricted char growth. I did one or two, then realized this. So, y'know what?
If you people continue in this vein, you are never insulting Ash for any RP idea he has -ever-. Got it?
Ash: If you feel the urge, after reading, to bitch about how your timelines were related to Main Gaera's, you have missed the point. Please re-read until you understand that my point was that it's okay if they do it because they can officiate it. <p><Chat> <Matto says, "What's up?"
