I'm sorry you feel that way.

With that, I hope that this ruling by Artie will encourage those of you who been refraining from returning to put your characters back in the mix.

As for me & Sappho, don't hold yer breath.

I'm actually already considering options for bringing a character into the story that I've been wanting to use for a while. We'll see what the coming weeks bring.

Yeah, me too, but with those restrictions, all that's left is basically re-hashing the same old gruel, Hmm?

Shouldn't Sappho be fine? The way I understood it she's basically a genderswapped Achilles with benefits...

That's very defeatist of you Synthya.

The imaginative doesn't have to be ludicrous

If the distinction were to be noted regarding the difference between AI & machine sentience, I'd think so too, but that doesn't seem to be the case; what discussion there was seemed stuck in a loop of dogma rather than actual discussion. The actual topic was never discussed; I made my points based on existing Elite lore & got nothing more than regurgitation.

Now that any really interesting RP has been officially quashed, I'm deciding whether to unsubscribe from all of the RP sections.

There can be many interesting RP stories made (although the perception of the "interesting" is subjective, I admit) even for the current real world settings with a few "simple" additions (for example like Vampire:Masquerade). I don't see a reason why it shouldn't be possible in Elite's sci-fi setting, which offers more flexibility than just a single element added. It's just about the sentient androids that currently are not a thing (although Achilles is making non-sentient androids), similar for various cat-like characters and so on.

While I think it a net loss, Ignoring those I find disagreeable in RP, I think the better choice is to merely unsubscribe from the RP sections; there yet remains the possibility that they have yet something informative to say on the other sections. Seems the most equitable solution to me.

Is it a lack of imagination on your part, Synthia, or a lack of desire?

Perhaps challenge yourself to write something within the lore that is to your liking, see if it is possible for your imagination to reach that far?

Neither; it's partly a matter of principle, & partly a matter of lack of interest under the current dogma.

You sound like a serial ganker justifying his playstyle.

Goodness. I roll out of bed, bake a nice jalapeño popper casserole, pull up Inara, and see that people are crying book burning and victimhood because... they're being asked to respect the lore of the universe in which they're roleplaying?
