[@Lady Amalthea] We too have found it practical to use CS process as screening for players.

Saves the work of cleaning up players who godmod and all that in the IC by having them eliminated before they post IC. We'd rather review a sheet a couple of extra times than have to bother moderators and the other players with purging/ignoring such players when they join.

It also annoys us how some players seem to think they can change basic functions of an existing universe... Like having a Mandalorian bounty-hunter Sith Lord with traits stolen liberally from various (ex-)canon characters or hybridizing a mammal species and a plant species or things like that.

Another time we had a player who apparently invented a new combat form, despite such not existing thousands of years later in the established canon... In a society where such knowledge wouldn't be lost.

Anyways, we're deviating from our own topic. We can often spend a week or more tweaking a template, only to throw much of it away after running it through the grinder that is an experimental sheet. how about you others?
