<USS Avalon> Re: OOC

Apparently you have all missed my point, and once again I have pissed at  
least a few people off when I only tried to do something helpful, this time  to 
us all. 
 
I'm very well aware that Avalon is not canon Star Trek. However, if one is  
to take part in or run a sim based upon an established franchise, one must  
acknowledge the timeline of that franchise, insofar as basing it within a  
certain period---such as after the Dominion War. And Avalon, for all intents 
and  
purposes, is a DS9-Voyager-post Voyager-era sim. I don't know about the  rest 
of 
you, but as a Star Trek fan fiction writer and simmer of some years and  
ability, I have found it extremely useful to have specific dates  upon which to 
base my characters and storylines. On the opposite end of  that, I find it 
extremely difficult to write effectively where there is  no established 
timeline. 
 
Excuse me for trying to help everyone. You can all rest assured that I  shall 
never make that mistake again. Oh, and just so everyone understands,  "Let's 
all get posting" was meant as encouragement---nothing more. I was not, as  
those who have responded seem to believe, getting on everyone's case. I know  
just as well as the rest of you what time of year it is and just how much real  
life gets in the way. You are not the only ones who have lives, you know.
 
However, there was something you all missed---my mentioning that I  discussed 
the matter with Marc and that he agreed to it. But since my good  intentions 
(I know, the road to hell is paved with them) have apparently  caused a 
fricking uproar, you can all happily disregard the entire message.
