Notice: Roleplay Canonization Requests

[Lythrilux]

Anyone can roleplay anything. You are very free to do any roleplay under the sun. You only need to file an RCR if you want that roleplay to result in a change which impacts the game world.

So progressive faction roleplay is effectively locked behind a gamble paywall. How would writing stories in the stories section and doing repetitive message dumps on the newest space fart be constructive to faction members/leaders who are itching for pace and things to do?

This is why it's smart to ask before trying to change anything which you aim to canonize. We're not going to go "lol, file an RCR and see what happens." We will tell you in advance if there is a conflict. This is stated clearly in the RCR post.

What extent would this exactly cover? I'm only concerned because the story team has been known to keep secrets about the future of the story - and for good reason - but that can come into a direct collision course with player roleplay. Furthermore, I'm imagining the request still has to be approved and has no certainty of implementation or date of processing, which makes it even more of a gamble with both time and money in the mix.

You can't seriously talk to yourselves and think this is a good idea, at least how it's currently worded. I understand the need to improve the organization of the place as things seem to be very unorganized right now, but I assure you this is the furthest thing from a good solution to that problem. I don't see how anyone can look at this announcement and suddenly feel extremely thrilled and motivated to play the game.

At the very least ditch the 1 bil requirement, that's an awful idea. 100 mil would be a lot more bearable.
