[OOC] Judgement Call Needed

[M Fnord]

Catching up on multiple things here...

---

Seriously. It DOESN'T matter whether ANY of the SOS-dan are real, since the real problem is an IC Haruhi pushing all of the buttons for our more paranoid fen.

---

There's two disputes here, an IC and an OOC. The IC one is what happens when you get too many alpha personalities trying to work together in too small a conceptual space. I'm content to let that one play out as it will. The OOC dispute is on the "reality" of the SOS-dan, because however we end up ruling on it will affect Fenspace from this point out.
As far as solutions go, I'm leaning towards Morgan's limited retcon idea, since that would allow us to keep the IC conflict in "For Liberty" running while preserving the ambiguity on the Haruhi question. I'd much prefer to maintain that staus quo unless the consensus says otherwise.
If the consensus says otherwise, I prefer the idea of Haruhi being a creation of the Overfan. It maintains the core mystery of the setting (Who is the Overfan? Why did he create the SOS-dan? What is Haruhi going to do to him when she catches the bastard? Stay Tuned, True Believers!) while allowing the MoHS characters to remain true(er) to themselves.
In the meantime, we need a consensus. Otherwise, I'll just decide by fiat and you all can be pissed at me. Which is, after all, sort of what I'm here for.

A hand emerged from the shadows which cloaked the throne. "Kill them," the sepulchral voice intoned.

---

Dr. Claw!
(Sorry, had to get that out of my system.)

---

We could pull a "Schrodinger's Cat" here and have two Fenspaces, one where Haruhi's Haruhi and there's no Noah Scott or Avril Arrow, and the other where Haruhi's a biomodded fan and there's a Noah and an Avril... but the logistics for that may be somewhat daunting.

---

If this was DC Comics - and I could afford to pay you people to do this - I'd have no problem setting up a Crisis on Multiple Fenspaces. In this case... yeah, not seeing it.

---

Overall, I guess I can respect it. But without the anchoring starting point of at least a canon, things become much less interesting for me. I won't storm out in a huff if that happens - that feels like blackmail to me - but the end effect will probably be about the same.
*shrug* Might be better if I did, anyway - I seem to be moving at cross purposes from most of our existing threads.

---

On my part, I guess I'm a little puzzled as to why you need the anchor point, and I'm also a little curious as to what purposes you're crossing. Aside from the Haruhi thing, I haven't seen anything that crosses the established storylines...---
