  1. Certain people seem to have a weirdly toxic response to simple disagreement. You're like, what, summoning the GMs to drag me away like some kind of hell wraith? Bro, it's just a discussion about whether a currently established rule should be changed. Are you this defensive about patch suggestions too?
  2. Which is what I said. And yet the argument I refuted is that merely having a reason is a justification. Your screenshot refutes you. The laughing emoji doesn't make your own screenshot refute you any less, but you do you, boo.
  3. I would love to hear someone try to justify this. You give us access to a character editor that can be used to make almost anything, and then when we recreate characters we already know and love, you forcibly delete the names and costumes? Look, the whole idea behind IP protection is to stop other people profiting from it. This is why DC comics doesn't try to sue everyone who makes bloody fan art. Because using your own creativity to recreate something you love *OBVIOUSLY* isn't the same thing as saying "I own this IP and therefore my pencil drawing of Batman entitles me to a chunk of their company". A character editor is that. It's just a digital box of coloured pencils, and some of us like using it to essentially make fan art. The idea that you're going to click a button and erase hours of work enforcing a rule so silly that the same reasoning also would make felt tip pens illegal... is beyond absurd. There is no danger to you or your server from this. There is no danger to the community. All this accomplishes is a huge waste of someone else's time who was using your server and supporting your efforts because of the love of this game we all share. Rules shouldn't exist for the perverse pleasure of filling empty margins in a rule book. They should exist because there is a good reason for them. Not only are we not making money somehow from having these fan art characters (like, how would we even?) which means there cannot - CANNOT - legally be any violation of IP, but taking away our ability to use a blank canvas how we see fit is the same as not having one in the first place. In my opinion this rule is absolutely senseless and does nothing but alienate players. I'd love to hear some other thoughts on this. I remind you again, nowhere, nowhere on the planet, not even North Korea, has laws so stupid that using a digital art medium to create something that some GM INTERPRETS to be a fan art image could be grounds for any conceivable legal action. If there is no good reason for a rule to exist, then it should not exist.
  4. Maybe I'm just not understanding something about how the saving/loading process works, but this is really annoying me. I've created a lot of macros for various things, and I keep finding that they've randomly been returned to an earlier state. Almost like an older profile has been loaded, but I don't see how. I'm not an expert at this kinda thing so maybe I'm just doing something stupid. One example of this would be a macro I have to change costume and trigger rune of protection, among other things. The rune of protection was the last command I added to the string in a later edit. Randomly, with seemingly no pattern, I will hit the macro and the power doesn't cast, and when I go in to edit it, RoP has been removed from the end of the string. I've even tried deleting the macro and recreating it from scratch, complete with RoP, but still sometimes it reverts to the way it used to be. I don't know what's causing this and it's getting kind of annoying to keep having to stop and rewrite my macros which were supposed to be saving me time. Any thoughts?
