So people in chat may have seen the recent chaos in chat, whether it be childish insults... random yelling and just plain unburdening. But this is not without reason. Many users, including myself believe that Lookout needs to undergo serious changes and some might argue that certain users here are afraid of change.

The main points brought up were that the wiki needed to properly enforce its manual of style in order to allow for new users to create up to standard pages as opposed to creating..well..shit. Almost everyone involved in the conversation except for Kuzon agreed with this and to my knowledge a default page template will be introduced with the ideal layout for pages. Of course, you don't have to follow the skeleton exactly but so long as you have the basic skeleton you should have no issue.

Now to what really caused the arguments: As you all know, I'm supposed to be implementing a new story which is supposed to give RP an endgame as well as give it a more linear feel. Well, this isn't as easy as it seems giving Lookouts 4 year history so I requested somethings be done and this really got everyone going.

All I wanted to do was alter and create a cohesive mended timeline for all of L1 so it could lead into L2 nicely, and have the new story build off of it. This would involve, bringing a few users together (Abby, Alissa and Ian), and going through the Lookout Timeline and Saga List and deciding which arcs and sagas would stay and how they flowed chronologically. Shit like Lookout Crew meeting and other vital things to the story would remain but we'd have a consistent timelines and remove any contradiction and plot holes that would arise. From this new timeline, we'd build a lore that all future RP has to follow from whenever the main story started. That's it. An RP committee which would build the lore of the Lookout world and make sure everything fit. Admins, Elcid and Alissa agreed to this so long as important aspects remained.

I'm not exactly sure what Kuzon's problem was but he said he was going to demote himself (or at least threatened to) and the idea of Jerrell replacing him as admin.

....and I think that's it.

What are your thoughts. Any questions feel free to leave them here cause it was a very long conversation and I'm not sure I covered it well enough.
