As the one who yeeted the hornet's nest into a grizzly bear, I'm a little sad that we're tweaking things a bit, and honestly a bit frustrated. It does mess with my RP a bit and I'm going to have to figure out some stuff for the interim. It's also frustrating because it did feel like a change that came suddenly out of nowhere, after a ton of RP has already happened related to it. It would honestly feel better to me if we let it stand as is, since so many people were mistaken.
However, the event is preeeetty close now, and I understand making a mistake and then feeling like things are wrong because of it. I'm more interested in making sure that everyone's happy than getting my way in this, and Reeves has been super communicative and accommodating throughout all of this.
In the future I do think it's better to roll with mistakes than to retcon, but as people said, this is your first major story event, and you're already doing a great job. This event is literally single-handedly reviving my interest in Discovery, and the importance of that can't be understated.
EDIT: For clarity's sake, I'm going to mention here that Nicole's whistleblowing will have a very small tweak, but is going to remain on the forums. The timing will just be vague, and closer to the event inRP, and it will still be considered to be Before The Event. I have no idea how this is going to affect ingame RP but we're doing it live, folks, let's roll with it.
