discussion about the 3 histories, and things related to making change. - English

My dear Mjollren!

I was being accused of distorting Leanon's history, and that when i referred to Events that defined my character i was told that is bullshit and it never happened, and that Leanon was the true history, and they tried to enforce their history on me. I'm acting in kind to that.

How can you make a comment on something what you have no idea of?

This is "an eye for an eye" mentality and all it accomplishes is leaving the whole world blind. When I see this in my children, it usually arises as "they started it."

My response is always the same: They may have started it but who will be the first to stop it?

One History to Rule Them All

Reading this thread and the blindly vehement attitudes displayed, it is very unlikely that the player base will ever agree on a history and, really, it's not our place to write one. I would rather see the "true" history of Atys played out—the one written in the old Ryzom Bible—but that is equally unlikely; however, it does show what needs to happen: A history needs to be given to us. Whether it's simply one of the previous server histories, a new history or a blending, someone (or a group of someones) needs to be designated to retcon the history of Atys.

Here is the most important point: All three communities must agree to support the new history. Why? Because there is only one community now, no longer three. There can be only one history for this new community. If we continue petty—yes, petty and trivial and asinine—arguments about whose history is better or should be kept or is valid then we will destroy Ryzom and Atys faster than the Goo ever will.
