I definitely agree with Cale Tucker and Wilson on Duck's creativity, it does seem to be somewhat lacking. I know that he's capable of writing good stories, though. In my conversations with him he's come up with some great ideas, mostly working with my humans. While his stuff might not look enriching to the roleplay, when his characters come into contact with characters like my humans, interesting this happen. The current invasion is going to build a lot of character in both species, think about it: The Iscandarians have had an almost perfect history, and the humans have had war after war. The Iscandarians are judging the humans from their perspective, and the humans see that as unfair. The humans will probably end up thinking themselves better than the Iscandarians, and the Iscnadarians will either end up agreeing with the whole "You can't learn without mistakes" thing or end up looking at the humans as if they think they are self-entitled children.
