And there are some things stories should follow, no matter the format they are shown in, be it a novel, film or video game. Roleplay is a group of people telling a story through different characters. This is what I'm trying to get at with this comparison. I don't want some pre-made story for my Roleplay, I want other characters to change it up in unexpected ways that make sense. Retcons happen, retcons have even happened in some novels/films/games, but the audience is told that it's happened. They are given that warning.
But, again, this isn't a book, so you aren't entitled to that warning. Which is what I had said before.
Also, since roleplaying =/= novels, this measure is still a poor one to use. And it'll be a poor one to use if you bring it up again.

That wasn't what I was doing at all, hence why I quoted the specific line that I felt was shallow. I didn't quote his entire post and label it as shallow, because he had some points that I replied to. So if I didn't make it clear that I was only aiming the 'shallow' point at that one line (even though I did quote the specific line), then that's my mistake I suppose.
No, I think you were responding to exactly what you responded to, and I will again remind you that there's no substance in thumbing your nose at a medium for not being like, or adhering to the same rules as another medium.
The argument is shallow.

By your own protest, would this not also be a shallow statement?

Still not the original point of discussion. Still. No matter how free you feel with your opinion, you missed the entire point of the discussion that was meant to take place by the person who made the thread, and instead opted to get in on...I don't know. I don't know what the point of this was.
