Kim is too stressed at the time, and there is no word on when
the Internet of Ginevra will be enabled...

Well maybe they'll return when they're in a happier mood?

There's a difference between fiction for the sake of fiction and
great fiction. Anyone can make the former, but it takes the
know-how on how to simulate life effectively in order for
someone to create the latter.
I don't want details for the sake of there being details. Even
in real life, things always have a reason, even if the thing in
question is mundane or the reason behind it small. That, and
there are details I want for the game which I don't want
anything to contradict. If you have a problem with that,
remember, my rulings as the game master are final, no matter how
much everyone else complains.
Don't get me wrong, I still want the game to be in the best
interest of everyone, but what's the point of spoilering
everyone if they're not behaving in a disciplined manner? (Being
spoiled is a reward for good behavior, not a right.)

Still, these characters in the RPG are from all over the place.
Pteri's character was beautifully crafted, but then you just had
to take the dump out on him because it doesn't work due to
Karjamian physics and what not. It's FICTION, it's not supposed
to be realistic, if you want a sense of realism try non-fiction
then.

I'm not aiming for realism, for if that was true, among other
things, I wouldn't have keyblades in my game. What I'm instead
aiming for is believability, something you can't just deny. It's
the work's believability that makes it enjoyable. Believability
is a crucial part of the illusion of life, something all fiction
strive for (whether their creators know this or not).
Believability and realism are not the same thing, especially
since the latter can actually hinder the former when done wrong.
(Go see "if [your favorite work] was realistic" for examples.)
Besides, if I really was aiming for realism, I wouldn't had
denied his character a second Karjamian Dimension Tunnel Device
since realism dictates that's possible. (The real reason why
I've denied it is because it goes against the team-based dynamic
I had in mind for the game.)

Meh, I've been quite busy lately and I don't have a whole lot of
motivation, you guys can go on without me, I might use the
character for something else.
Besides, I am incredibly undisciplined and badly behaved and I'm
damn proud of it so I'd probably just ruin the game anyway ;)

Also, Kushagra, something can be beautifully written and still
not live up to its believability. That is why I don't judge
fiction by its aesthetics alone.
Fun fact: Pierre's character is absolutely barebones with very
little prose written for his Bio, yet I still allowed him into
the game since I saw potential in his character. The fact that
it's absolutely barebones actually seems to be working in his
favor as it means he could just behave as if the character was
himself.

But it's still Fiction. Nothing's supposed to be believable
though, right? I mean, look at all the crazy stories on the
internet. They're all fiction, nothing you wouldn't believe to
be making sense, but still fantastic.

By believable, I don't mean whether or not you know something is
fact or fiction. When I said "believable", I meant that the
story immerses us so much into the story, it's as if not only
have we been transported into the world in question, we're
witnessing the story foretold by the piece of fiction
first-hand.
It's for this reason why Pokémon is so popular, why someone went
through the crazy motion of actually renaming themselves to
"Optimus Prime", why people love pretending to be ponies (looks
at Aurora Dash/Pteriforever), etc. It's the entire reason
fandoms exist in the first place.
By believable, I don't mean the creation of actual life because
that's impossible. Rather, when I said "believable", I mean
creating a very convincing illusion of life, the very phenomenon
I've explained within this post. This isn't something one can
merely dismiss. Without a convincing illusion of life, we can't
get into the fiction, and without being able to get into
fiction, we wouldn't be able to enjoy them.
