Now Chrono might have all the power and twice the tactical skill of any of the Aces, but he still doesn't accomplish much throughout the series when compared to the Aces or the Wolks, something I aim to fix when he fights Alex in the Comacanon A's timeline. Neither do Yuuno or Erio, and thus their achievements must be backed up by their personalities and character development. Sadly, Yuuno simply doesn't interest me all that much, Chrono's most defining feature is his tendency to label Yuuno as a familiar (and get said familiar all riled up about it), and Erio just didn't get enough character development. He certainly had something interesting going with Caro and his backstory and all, so all in all, Erio is the one who comes out on top as the most interesting male character in the show, and frankly it's a shame he didn't get more screentime once Vivio showed up.

In regards to the latest 'let's bash Comar and his ideas' trend, I find myself wondering why people are so opposed to his idea? He's not saying he is going to abolish the TSAB completely (even though his wording was a bit wrong back there) just that the millitary intrigue is going in the trunk of his car. Now, I wonder what the problem with this is? is it because it 'alters' things? Makes it less military then canon? Hypocritic, because the military geeks in this thread have already made this military much more strict and real-life like then what canon has displayed.
I implore people to stop with the constant 'but the military this and the military that' babling, because quite honestly, Comar has done nothing to recieve this kind of flak. There is no rule that says you can't throw a grenade in the series and rebuilt it into your own image. To enforce a non-existing rule would be the height of hypocrisy, especially when some people here already majorly alter or sneak around canon. I see no serious problem with Comar's plan. A few inconsitencies with the timeline and characters were all that needed fixing so far, and perhaps more of those will pop up in the future, but the base of the story, the whole 'RF6 didn't disband' is solid and only requires turning a 'no' into a 'yes' I'll deal with the rest of the backlog later.

.......................... Well.......I can only speak for myself. The way he carries himself, and the way he presents his ideas.... He seems haughty, full of himself, and can be quite disrespectful to canon at times. His ideas are often ill-presented, and not well thought-out, and it's hard to really see any of his ideas work, because he has to even do anything to really support his characters, such as write some back-story, some sort of drabble maybe. He's been dishing character, after character, after character like they're on a production line. Producing character's is one thing, but to take the raw material he has created, and refine them, that's something he's not doing. There is also the issue that more than half of this characters are just out-right drag-and-drop. Although OC in general should be trying to persuade him to cultivate his present character list, rather than mass-produce characters, I cannot say so myself, otherwise I would make myself a hypocrite to what I've stated earlier. And also Keroko, because of your personal choice to not hang in IRC, you only know half, maybe three-quarters of the story. A lot of the issues that he brings to the table, are either ill-thought out, or shot-down on IRC where a lot of the bitterness resides in, and also the source to your answers most likely.

Right now I think the problem is with Comar, not his ideas. And I intend to straighten this out before it all goes to hell and Aaron needs to interfere again.
I quite frankly don't care what goes on in IRC in regards to the bitterness against Comar in this thread. I believe Aaron told everyone this before: Let the IRC stay in the IRC. The idea of coma-canon was thought out, he did his research, posted his ideas and listened to the reviews of his ideas. He altered where his ideas clashed, and where it was possible, however what is happening here is simply people trying to spot even the most tiny miniscule flaws in Comar's ideas and blowing them out of proportion for the sole purpose of grudges and bad blood against him. I don't care what Comar does in IRC, but in the OC-thread he should not be getting that kind of flak. I know Comar can rub people the wrong way, I'm not excluded either, because I happen to like both Yuuno and Chrono, and Regius was a brilliant character in my opinion, so having Comar voice an entirely different opinion (especially on Regius) does irk me. However, I don't let that get in my way of looking at his ideas objectively, and commenting on them as such. Tk can rub people the wrong way too, does that mean we have to torp all of his ideas as well? The entire idea of his canon was to limit the military aspect of the show, now I know the military geeks may find this hard to swallow, but if he wants to do this he has every bit of right to do so. He's not throwing anything out the window, he is only minimizing the influence it has on its story. |

/me stalks into Outer Cadia, realizing that his presence has been missed for two weeks.
So, umm,...... howdy, people? Guess I can't tackle the backlog just yet as I'm still in confusion and anger following stuffs around my waist that have been bothering me for quite a while. being unemployed..... And while I'm at it, no, I still don't have anything new to share here right now. At least, as far as the OCs are concerned, and it sucks to know that we no longer have the inspirations and motivations to do things, right? Maybe I should resume my long-postponed novel right now.... *lazily waves to people and leaves with this* P/S: whatever happens, DFC+armpit service always win!!! *runs for life* |

You got valid points that I could use, but yeah stop attacking Comar. I feel quite bad that mine and his ideas agree on quite a few places, and while I'm used to drawing fire, Comar seems to be getting it a bit hotter... Hey its an important choice when you want to select a partner, and when its building a harem, it gets even more important ne? Here's another point where me and his ideas agree; I wanted to blow up the Infinite Library for a long time now, for plot purposes and to show Skane's level of awesome and keikakudoori. It's pretty funny though, Comar. If you want to make your own plot, then stop asking for feedback then turning the comments down. It might be the reason for the image of "haughtiness" you're exruding. And so it might help your blood pressure and stress level to just shoot first and ask questions later. Like someone we know.

Though if you ask me, THE best anime ever is tied between El Hazard, DUAL!, and several Khrack relatives. Interestingly, for me, the best animation ever does not exist, but is within my brain: "dXo - Danger Cross Order", a manga that my pals and I drew for a while when we were young and bored. Nothing on screen has yet to come close, and every time I do a fanfic, themes from dXo continue to resurface, like the Clerics, a centralized yet liberal religion, multiple dimensions and timelines, mecha themes, interesting villains, magic, adventure and twisted romances. Notice how Nanoha fulfills all that but lacks in the romance department and Jail being a rather mishandled villain who could be so much more. Let's not get into a war about 'my anime is teh b3st' however; we must agree that our tastes differ. :3 Quote:
Oh dear... Hope you find a job soon! Things have gotten a bit sour with your absence; I'm actually starting to miss the fanservice of the old thread. Do come back soon. EXACTLY that USB, exactly that.

Hahaha.
My two (fellow) Aces did the work for me. Thanks! I'll see how things develop from here and consider whether or not to have my say (aka: Limiter Release). ......... Now I feel shafted too...T_T () @haiz: Cadia Zwei has no profile. She's like the avatar of this second OC Thread. And no, I am not taking Law. Just a Law-oriented business course.:3 @USB: Welcome back!

Alright, apparently it was a big mistake to introduce this timeline before it was completely hashed out and the OCs were in the beginning stages of being written up, so I'm going to pull this suggestion from the thread and go back to PMing Kha and Keroko about this until at least the complete timeline is finished.
K&K, thanks much for the support and the votes of confidence. It's encouraging to know that I have people willing to stick up for me around here. Oh, and ghaz? If you want to blame someone for my bullheadedness on this, blame TK for challenging me to make it work. I'm fully aware that my ideas aren't always the best to come into Cadia, but that's why I post here in the first place; so I can refine my ideas while they're still in their beginning stages instead of spending days/weeks/months on a project only to have it shot down by some minor-yet-critical flaw I overlooked.

To all those defending Comartemis, most notably perhaps Keroko:
in our own way, so are we...we just seem to be rubbing the bureau in his face... Ultimately, we can't, and shouldn't be able to tell Comartemis what to write or how. What we can do is point out issues that we think that may cause him problems. He has every right to choose to do it anyway, of course... But, well, I for one am worried that his attitude to the bureau has been tainted by exposure to OuterCadia. I honestly can't tell whether he's aiming to reduce or remove the Bureau presence because he genuinely doesn't like it, or because he wants to say 'screw you!' to all the people who keep bringing it up... and that's significant, because while the first is fine, the second is likely to cause trouble in the long run simply because that kind of irrational venting simply doesn't hold together well, and can lead to bad continuity and bad writing. please note, this is not intended as any kind of analysis or as an insult. I'm no Psychologist; I can only tell you the way I might feel... And in that situation, I can tell you I'd be tempted to knock back the Bureau out of spite simply to be contrary... This is what I'm worried about. If he wants to reduce or remove the influence of the Bureau from his story and can do so in a rational and justified manner (eg, Nanoha and co never join the Bureau at large; Nanoha and co go straight into the Navy; Nanoha and co manage to hit up a bunch of senior officers for favours somehow; even having the Bureau fold/overthrown/destroyed before the events of A's) then that's fine I just don't want to see him shoot himself in the foot and end up in the situation of being asked "but why are the Bureau rolling over for every one of the Ace's requests?" and feeling forced to answer " They Just ARE, OK!?" all the while thinking <That'll teach those OuterCadia sods to try and tell me how to run my story...> Better answers could be " they've pulled in a lot of favours, and refusing could cause political trouble" or " The Bureau High command has their own agenda on this" or " The Higher ups have decided to give them just enough rope..." In one line, the whole situation can be resolved, and that's all that need be said of it. I (and I'd like to hope, all of us) just want to see him write the best he can, without leaving anything out, without leaving uncovered gaps or plot holes, without writing himself into a corner, without him having to stretch suspension of disbelief too far... Like I said before, any question we can ask, other readers can ask... it's OK not to answer the question...as long as you acknowledge the question has been asked. |

*me sighs*
Let me put it this way. It's how Comartemis goes about doing stuff. What really, really really pisses off those who hang in IRC is that Comrtemis' attitude has basically been, "Fuck canon, fuck OC, Ima gonna do wtf I want and I don't really care about what you guys think." It's gotten to the point when I'm actually wondering if his presence here is subtle trolling or not. The other problem is that a lot of his stuff just violates common sense. Now I know Keroko's gonna jump all over that, but there's a difference between applying commonsense to an anime and fanfictional settings and laws of physics. Just because it's magical girl nanoha doesnt mean there's no scope for common sense. ...basically the whole damn point really is that to those of us who plan things out and to whom writing is SRS business, Comar's jumping into the waters half-cocked without fully thinking things out is annoying and aggravating. And when we try to help he reacts like it's a personal insult. And it is painful to see bad writing being produced and the writer stubbornly proceeding along; the whole point of Cadia compared to fanfic is that fanfic is where you go to get your ego and NxF stories all praised, while Cadia is for OCs and serious charecter writing and development. And also frankly it just doesn't really make any sense for RF6 to wow everyone just like that. Even the SAS, the most sucessful special forces unit in the world, had their detractors. Delta Force and SEAL Team Six were nearly closed several times by military brass who hated how spec ops was mucking around with their status quos - hell, the US Air Force leadership was actively trying to kill off special operations... including sabotaging the only AFSOC Special Tactics Squadron in existence. And this is with people who are pretty much mundanes. And you expect that massing the Aces together isn't going to shitfits and quick manipulations of paperwork and bureaucracy? Don't forget that if Nanoha and Fate transfer into the GF they're under GF jurisdiction which means that the GF brass can write orders yanking them out of RF6 into different units. I will write more later. I'm tired. Long shifts. 12-hour shift today. @TK & Kha: Task Force Six is basically still in the planning stages, but the general idea is as follows: During Franz's match with Nanoha in Five Minutes to Lose, Erick and Hayate chatted a bit and she mentioned her idea for RF6. Erick thought it had potential and quietly talked to O'Neil. What then happened was that unlike canon, where it was primarily Navy/Saint Church-supported, RF6 received a goodly amount of support from SOPCC; Felix was sent to be ostensibly an observer of sorts on the project, along with some of O'Neil's more trustworthy people, such as a Major Reynolds as one, along with a small team from the OFM (a mixed group of about 10 Air Wing and Assault Platoon mages, led by Franz), with some intel specialists like Mikhail Dornitz. RF6's startup thus has somewhat more legitimacy in that rather than being mostly backed by Saint Church it's also got some of O'Neil's clout behind it, and nobody fucks with O'Neil. It's most certainly an AU of Kerokanon and stuff, but tries to stick more or less to canon and aims to be realistic about the whole matter. And I wouldn't mind linking of projects in sperate verses; in fact now that I think about it O'Neil and TF6 in this verse is basically him taking a look and seeing how it can be done before he assembles TF 58 a few years down the road - sort of a test run of sorts, anyway. There will also be drama and clashes, particularly between Franz and Nanoha, who get into arguments on training; Nanoha's argument is that she's a SAFA elite agressor/instructor and Tea is under her command; Franz dismisses her argument and points out that he has 18 years of combat experience and learned his trade in urban warfare in the middle of a civil war, which is where TF6 will be fighting most of the time. I'm still working on it and trying to finalise the ideas and all. But definately at some point Franz is going to go "fuck this shit", whip out a Battle Rifle, and dump 9.5mm SAPHE into gadget drones. EDIT: Awesome post by stormturmoil.

I saw trouble brewing, was wondering if it was just me, but went ahead anyway. I'm no Aaron; I'm not good in this thing, I only want to keep things calm, so pardon me for making what looks like a bad intervention.
EDIT: And Comar, you have some ways to go you know. Just by backing you on gut feeling I get into more trouble. Why should I even fking bother?! Why do I even TREAT this thread like my own baby?! Like I said, the FF Thread > Cadia now. Which Is Fking Sad. Thank you, and good night. EDIT: Actually, no. I just realized the wisdom of Anita shunning the IRC completely. As for the thread, this is what I have to live with then. If only Cadia Zwei really was as sweet as her avatar.

Ya think, Kha? Anyway I wish turmoil had managed to get his post up there a bit earlier. *cracks stiff neck*
Remember, people. Just because this is Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha, where the laws of physics are bent - if not outright violated - does not mean that COMMONSENSE is invalidated. Also, on a tangent, I'm going to give up breakers. I now bust backlog at work, I have no desire to come home and bust backlog again. And sadly I don't have the authority and rank to fire the Backlog Breaker. ;__;

Anyway, I think getting personal because of stuff Comar said in the past/IRC is just downright chidlish. Fine, I don't go to the irc(because i never knew there was one >_>) but even if i knew i still wouldn't go. Anyway like what Aaron and Keroko said, let irc stay irc and er... thread stay thread. Don't bring any disputes/issues in irc here. You shouldn't shoot someone's idea cause you hate him. Judge what he presents impartially.
