I understand that, but I don't get why that means I have to use these sensei.

As Rad outlined, they were originally only available in sagas. Then we added another possibility. If you don't want to use the sensei, then join the sagas. If you don't feel like doing either, then you can be a Tech-martyr for the cause of super-freedom.

I don't think I'm asking for absolute freedom. I'm asking for a little more flexibility. The way I see it, the reason we're all on Chubbs is to RP with other people - to interact with other writers and write a story together. This pattern is to say "staff makes up the stuff, and then you write about it". I don't get why that's necessary.

Because otherwise, the writing world of Chubbs would be chaos. Nothing would make sense. There would be no structure. You'd be able to write whatever you wanted, but then, so would everyone else.

Other gameplay elements within Chubbs certainly are, but that ain't got nothing to do with creativity. Like I said, I don't mind staff making 'flavour' within the world, but y'gotta ease up a bit. Y'know? Give us some room to spread our creative wings for once.

You have all the freedom in the world to spread your creative wings. We give basic outlines for Quests, the senseis, worlds, characters, etc. simply so that things don't become chaotic in regards to how someone roleplays something else. Nearly everything else is totally UP TO YOU.

Again, however, if you truly want to spread your creative wings, then go write a novel. I don't see a reason why the Staff should weaken the gameplay of the site simply so you (and maybe some other members, though I don't see any others speaking up) can do whatever you please. It doesn't work that way. The system's current setting is necessary. Lowering it any further would cause problems. Can you understand this? Do you understand why I'm saying this?

One thing I've noticed in these conversations with you, Greg, is that we'll give reasons for why we do a certain thing, yet you stubbornly push your position in spite of all the reasons, either ignoring them completely, or passing them aside as if they're rubbish.
