Holy craps.
Okay. I have a lot to say, and I'm sick of OOCs. Alas, earwax. Dan's survey has given me some incite, so that's fun. People need to squawk more, I tell ya. Things might get done around here. I had no idea some of you felt the way you (apparently) do.
So. Some minor things that I can change - altering a few of the rules. I can do that. Some of you requested a few of them getting tweaked. No problem. Explaining retcons - the only two (and most recent) retcons fortunately involve a canon who is no longer in play, and two originals. However, I would like to know more details myself. So once Jordan and I get things figured out, we'll be sure to let everyone else know. That's another easy fix, eh?
So far as the plot and activity go - I can't stress enough that this is YOUR GAME TOO folks. Please ask questions, please participate, please throw up threads. Please please please. So many of us rarely post... maybe once a week. It's killing me. I don't like nagging. So I'm considering a "post once a day" rule, as opposed to "post once a week". An IC or an OOC a day couldn't hurt anyone. And the biggest complaint on the survey was the pace of the game.
If we don't like the fluff community, we can ax it, or only I can post in it. Because I do like it and I don't want to bury important things with my junk. But if you all don't mind reading my junk, well, then, we can nix the whole ordeal. I do like the idea of the backdates, though.
So far as the plot goes - make it so. Suggest things, talk to me/Dan, ask when things are going to happen, or post them happening yourselves. Start your own plot lines and story arcs... We can't be responsible for every major event that happens. Too many players just let things happen to them, or respond to things, instead of throwing a wrench in the gears. Be proactive - IC and OOC.
There were far too many complaints on the survey about things that are mostly out of my hands. So, start communicating! :)

P.S. Is anyone up for a restart/major fast-forward?
P.S.S. I've updated the rules. Players can now pick up any canons they'd like. Players should now post at least 3 times a week to the IC or OOC communities. There are now limits on the amount of characters that can be played by a single player. Retcons must be mod-approved and should be explained fully in the OOC. See examples of (new and improved!) retcons here & here.
