Then why not submit the section on Vekimen reproduction to the NTSE and solve the issue? Seems to me that perhaps an agreement could be met and all of this could blow over.
To put it very simply: because people do not communicate these kinds of things. Unapproved edits are a very big running trend when it comes to the Vekimen, unfortunately. Not everyone has the time to look and spot-check everything (even Frost, despite what people think), and as a result things do slip by. This is why, when the topic came up recently, it received TONS of flak. Because it was publicly discussed and most likely saw countless creators and FMs (as @Wes said was part of his decision in this involved multiple) finally speak up on it, it got overruled.I'm a bit confused why this was allowed to go on for so long and establish so much RP elements tied to it if it was inherently unapproved and disputed? This is a major retcon, some compromise should be possible to prevent undoing a year of work, eh?
Yes, existing characters/plots should be "grandfathered in." But since wiki canon supersedes forum canon, it would be a little different on the wiki.This is an active Plot line in the Asteria setting at the moment. Would it be acceptable for us to proceed forward to its conclusion rather than gut the impact of the months of roleplay that has been going on? This would not extend past the sandbox. This is a national plotline and an active approved ship plot line for the Interregnum (asking on behalf @Gallant who is currently driving).
That is what should have been done in the first place, and it's still possible to do.Then why not submit the section on Vekimen reproduction to the NTSE and solve the issue?
could edto at least have you review the article for him? To minimize drama over it?Yes, existing characters/plots should be "grandfathered in." But since wiki canon supersedes forum canon, it would be a little different on the wiki.

I'm pretty sure all submission reviews - regardless of who's doing them - are done publicly @Ira.
Edit: And a brief reminder? If you just like the RP, then just keep doing it. The RP would be non-canon, but if you enjoy RP then you should just do it. If someone is willing to argue "RP first", they should lead by promoting the fact that they can still RP regardless of how this outcome rolls. It shouldn't change your plot and effort.

If it happened to me, I'd be really shocked. Especially considering how often I discuss and announce things I'm intending ahead of time. But if it did, I'd really not care... primarily because I build my plots around the fun OOC memes and community, with the RP second behind people having fun and feeling good with the direction.I'd like to see how you'd react when your RP is threatened to be made non-canon. And don't act like things being made non-canon isn't a big deal. People want their stuff to matter in the long term and making them non-canon because a few people get their hackles up over something that probably will never happen anyway is dumb. It's happened way too much to me and the plots I've been in the past.
Thank you for being reasonable, Wes. I'll be sure to communicate better on my end of the responsibilities (gm forum, wiki, etc) in the future.
