Apply to be a Story Dev then, try to put aside the spare time to work on this Mod at the rate the community demands, be my guest.

Sorry chief, not doing that. Balance dev, maybe. Balance devs haven't called me Exodite yet.

Balance devs also do more.

Alternatively, you could just not worry about all that stress and instead throw a story out for funsies and y'never know, it could be immortalised in game. Otherwise, it's immortalised in-canon and can serve as a resource for anything the Story Team may decide to implement in the future. I can see it, me in Story Chat going; "Hey guys, remember that short story X-Person put up that time?" - "Yeah?" -"That'd be awesome to use for this!"

It's also a roleplay server. This is saying "Yeah, you know that thing you join the server/forums to do? Roleplay? Yeah, take out the personal investment and write us content so we can use it was we see fit." Do you not see the disconnect?

You have to understand that the Story Team is supposed to have a certain degree of duty of care to the Discovery Narrative, it's our job to keep out of the rubbish and let's not kid ourselves... there has been some absolute rubbish in Disco's time. The whole point of the Story Team taking control of something, is to attempt to ensure quality control.

Because there's a fantastic history of them doing that, and you lot are carrying the torch just so much higher.

You're also highlighting a chief example as to why exactly people do not trust staff in Disco, that separation between "staff" and "community member." Because there's an implied "Well, the community writes garbage, and we need to filter it out!" Working with them, interacting, and actually being cool dudes? Outta the window, present us your stuff for inspection.

Woah. Nice story. Perfect length. Medium girth. Could use some trim, but we'll take it.

By allowing players the ability to write short stories and attempt to get them submitted, we could have cool things such as Stories about the conflict upon worlds themselves, the stuff the soldiers are going through. You could tell a story of an entire ship crew, perhaps the story of a Liberty Siege Cruiser going through the events of Insurgency.

Yeah, it's supposed to be separate from everyone's in-game characters, but you can totally make some up that don't exist in game purely for your story.

Or you could write RP that actually means something to you, you have agency over, and you can do more things with because you're not working at the behest of a team of people who spend more of their time arguing over petty topics than working with people without excessive bureaucracy or systems designed to invalidate the thing people come here to do, first and foremost, to create something good that follows a logical path that can be read back on and understood, and not, say...

A war with minimal context or reason to happen because of an arbitrary OORP desire for someone to shoot at because everyone's afraid of a double digit number going down.
