Message: <blockquote data-quote="Fenmarel" data-source="post: 2564775">I'm not trying to argue or anything Pou I just wanted to say that first off.  I'm just trying to understand the mind set of those that might have been offended.I saw an actual war and a school bombing as two totally separate events.  I actually thought that over carefully to make sure it couldn't be misconstrued as something that is wasn't.  A war is not some sick terrorist bombing a school but an all out fight between the armed forces of the nations involved.  As for them getting upset over the change of the world map and the death it can cause.......it is a fictional news report.  I've read acclaimed novels where Russia took over the Western Hemisphere, the US took over the world, England, Spain, France and Portugual became the sea powers that they once were and held the rest of the world in a tight noose acting as pirates and numerous other situations.  Folks should understand it is fiction pure and simple.  Not what anyone wishes(unless you are the lucky man that won the Lottery heh) or hopes might come to pass.The reason I thought the car bombings might have been too far is that after I made the post there were car bombings in Tel Aviv that wounded many civilians and killed a few civilians and police personnel.  I started to alter it or delete that section outright since it mirrored directly the events that were happening today.  I thought that would get a big uproar and not some imagined link between two separate occurances.The reasons I was given and reinstated by Pou in her post had nothing to do with changing of world maps or the deaths of those fighting in the fake war but the death of the students in Russia.  My story and that action I don't see how they could be linked.  If someone that did find that offensive could please post why they thought the fake news report and the school attack could be linked in some manner I would appreciate it.  No this isn't me trying to draw people out for flaming or anything like that.  I would like to know what to be thinking about that other players might find offensive or how they link events together.  This is about all I've found that I can do to help with TMP and I want to keep doing it without offending anyone.  I have a character concept that has been collecting dust ever since they first announced we would be getting this room. I'd like to play it before my six year old graduates from college, okay he is heading straight for some correctional facility but you get the point.Pou what other things do you have on your plate that we can help with?  I can't draw so don't ask!</blockquote>
