[QUOTE="Neo, post: 1629480, member: 4139"] True, but where my conversions are concerned something like that plot device gets statted because you cannot represent plot devices through a conversion easily any other way. Plot devices are things to come up in play and a conversion is just a screenshot effectively of a hero or villain as they are at one point in thier careers (and inevitably covering info, frequently conflicting, produced by dozens or writers who all have thier own take on the character too). As a result my conversions aren't too everyones taste just as Bretbo or Valdiers aren't to others too.. its just one of those things you kinda have to put up with when doing a version of something everyone knows.. you get those on the left who love it and those on the right who hate it :D The only garuntee I will and do make anyone with my conversions is that the info in them is accurate and from actual comics, creators, interviews and so forth relating to the characters. And that those statted are done so as best I can at the time of its creation. Obviously as with anyone as and when I discover new facets to the rules or info on the character that affects future conversions and will have an affect on my work and some things inevitably turn up that I would do differently now. But where peoples personal opinions of a conversion tend to be concerned really it tickles me when some people (as have in the past) get so irate over a conversion.. my work is just that my take on things. If people like them then cool, if they don't well they can make thier own, its all good. But if you put 10 people in a room with 10 sets of the same information on a character and ask them to convert it... what you'll end up with are 10 slightly similar but predominantly different takes on the same guy. None of which are more wrong or right than the next. [/QUOTE]
