Huh. That's an interesting dilemma: you like the RP but find the CS too complicated.

Unfortunately, I err on the side of the GMs in your situation. They put forth the effort to create a world for others to play in (or, at least, took the time to plot something interesting in a preexisting universe), so they can demand a lot [i]within reason.[/i]

In this case, I don't think that CS's demands are unreasonable, especially if the GM already explained the sections to you. (Maybe it's actually far worse than what you've presented, who knows?) You'd probably have to hash it out even further with your GM in the OOC or PMs if you still really want to join the RP but find the CS too difficult or confusing to complete.

In a more general instance, if there was an CS format that confused me, I would just do my best to fill out the CS as completely as possible and have the GM vet it--I've never come across a CS format I've found unreasonably demanding, yet, so I can't speak much for the situation other than offering general advice on it. I suppose you'd have to judge for yourself if you'll have enough fun in the RP to justify working through a CS format you dislike, but think of it another way: once you pass this hurdle, you can enjoy yourself, so if you really love that RP, then hang in there.
