I'll try to explain as much as i can, without revealing anything that would ruin future experience.
Seeing the 'lose' role play ties we had in kiwike 2.0 we now have several organizations, guilds, people etc with there own history and there own things.
Seeing we or at least i want to have a more firm grip on the story line, and this is not really compatible with the current one. we or at least i would like to give people a blank sheet.
What that means. current events in the kiwike spectrum, ranging from 1.0 to 2.0 and even the temp server if you included that will not be in the mind of your character, seeing he never existed. Now i do not have a problem if your character has the same name age etc then the one you used before. but it cannot have the memories, it can have the same events before he went to kiwike.
Only nothing of previous kiwike. can remain. No wars happend, no plagues, no nothing
It can remain OOC, left for discussion or inspiration source, but not as motive or active memory in your character
My decision on this is final, until someone could show me why people role-play could not establish the same relation with people they already had in kiwike, only not using the same events that happened before. Is the collection of events kiwike, for yourself and not for your character not enough? or do you have some sort ideal that you cannot let go of your current character memories?
Naamandre. I'd like to formally put before you numberous reasons as to why Kiwike 1.0 and 2.0 need to be incorporated into Revamped in order to establish the same relationship with people they had in Kiwike.
Do you remember Kubrick? You know, the guy that introduced me to you? The one who gave you a job to fill a pond with sand to start a quarry? You never met me because you never met him. Therefore, we cannot have the same relationship in kiwike: revamped because these events cannot be duplicated.
In the example of Geckosquid: In no way shape or form can the events of the Griefer Plague be duplicated. If it was not for the Griefer Plague, Cerce would never have met Geckosquid. Therefore, we cannot have the same relationship in Kiwike: Revamped because these events cannot be duplicated.
I never met Saera because the Griefer Plague never re-occurred in 2.0.
MainDigger was never met because he was never highered to protect the castle from Tristo in the re-occurring griefer plague.
The friendship between Tristo and Cerce cannot be duplicated.
Do you not understand? Things are no longer present, nor can they ever be present, in such a way to duplicate such a friendship, such a lore, hell, such a person.
Tristo; if I could trust that nobody would use my lore in any way for their own means, I'd gladly put it back up. I'm not doing anything against you; in fact, I'll send you a PM with my full reccord, should you wish it. But for the public random bystander who decides to take up my ideas to help themselves out, no. Especially now that, according to our beloved co-leader Android and lore-master Naamandre, they didn't exist in the first place.
You know, if they had at least asked before they decided to scrap the entirety of everyone's work without anyone's consent, I might not be so enraged right now. But quite frankly I'm pissed.
