User blog:TheRothOfKhan/Taking Liberties and Why

For the purpose of weeding out any criticism as to how faithful I have been to the story perpetuated in STO, I feel the need to make it perfectly clear that I have indeed taken liberties with the storyline. This is for a few reasons:

The Foundry

The concept of the Foundry was breathtaking to me, yet when it landed it just couldn't find the time to learn how to use it. Therefore any stories I wanted to create using this tool have made it into this Wikia.

Common Sense & Realism

The game's insistence that everything ever featured so far has taken place in the same year is absurd, therefore in my own little head, it is 2413 and as the years go by, so the timeline will trundle along with it.

Technological Limitations

I have not been able to play STO since May, when my internet connection went kaput, was fixed, but upon its return was too slow to manage the connection to the server. Since I cannot log in, I just cannot remember which order the missions went in or the finer details, so I have made them up.

Social

The game itself cannot account for the value of social interactions. As a brief RP'er I found it immensely fulfilling going off on adventures with fellow players and just making it up as we went along; these interactions were more memorable that the actual missions thesmselves, so anything I feel of worth has made it into the storylines of my characters.
