Because it's not a limit to creative freedom—it's a solution to prevent a situation that gets arbitrarily more complex than it needs to be. I don't consider it limiting to say that there's an existing mechanic fits better than a fringe mechanic that isn't really used right now.

I understand, and since I am trying to work with you all here, if he doesn't work I'll drop the idea entirely. Which actually works out fairly easy given that Subtle power of his. But I won't exactly like having to do that. Especially not after having tried to find a way to make it work out.

<Snipped quote by Meta>

Except from my point of view Planes weren't a fringe mechanic until the World said they were a few posts back. I assumed, perhaps mistakenly, that it was actual lore that just wasn't heavily explored but still possible.

And yes, admittedly I pushed the idea even then, but that's because I'm passionate about it. Which is better I think, than me coming back in and dropping out a few weeks later due to a lack of interest.

<Snipped quote by Caldizar>

Yeah, I understand that. Speaking wholly as myself—I was in this situation twice or thrice before, when I was very new to MR. It’s frustrating to feel like your creativity is being limited, and even worse to feel like there’s no way out and no way to keep your idea as it is, especially when you’re passionate about it.

We definitely want to work with you to make the idea work, but just like for me when I experienced this, there is something MR cannot budge on.

<Snipped quote by whizzball1>

Unfortunately, I don't think this is something I can budge on either. I might come back with a different character, I have been working on a necromancer who sees necromancy as a matter of survival tactics rather than evil, or I might not. It honestly depends. I think that, for the time being however, it'd be better if I just took a step back for a while. Much as I try not to, emotions did flare, and I need to get those in-check before doing anything else.

<Snipped quote by Caldizar>

Sure, and I think it's fair that you want it how you're envisioning it since it is a passion. But one of our bigger concerns is that using Planes will end up locking him out of interaction because of how unexplored the concept is. And sitting there with no one to interact with isn't fun for anyone.

<Snipped quote by Caldizar>

It was somewhat the same for me—emotions flaring. I’m very sorry that it had to go this way, with a hard incompatibility rather than something we can work around. I hope that, if you have another idea you’re passionate about, MR will be a place for you to play with it. But I can understand if it doesn’t feel that way.

For the time being, this will probably be another extended break. The Living God idea for Zachary isn't getting deleted, and I might find somewhere to use him, but currently no other ideas have really struck my fancy like his and really the ideas in that CYOA in general.

Mai internet is being a paiiiin, but that'll hopefully be changing soon.

@Webmaster I'm at a loss for where we should appear.

Not at the moment but I will later today.

@Legend Sorry. Heh.
