I... Don't see why this boils down to two questions, when one of those questions is completely irrelevant to the point we're all getting at, and the other is like a Congressional bill; a clear original intent that's been packaged with unrelated ride-alongs.

Frankly, I think you're trying to impose too much structure on this, [@Lugubrious]. There's no need to force everyone to be on the same page, or dealing with everything the same way. Ultimately, this stems from something Crimmy was trying to get at; RPGs don't have screen time, or audience attention to have to shift around. Everyone is an audience to what's relevant to their own character's view, and whatever past that they want to read.

There's no reason to boil everything down to strict ultimatums. Speaking as someone who runs a game much, much, much larger than this, you're looking at this all backasswards.

Well, it's because I'm incompetent, clearly.  I thought I was getting at what you all wanted; things that might help set this right.  A good example of this might be that I just don't understand what you mean by people not being on the same page.  If teams aren't on the same page, I'm thinking, how can they interact with one another?

I'd say something like I'm not one for self-pity at this point, but I really, really am.  I feel like the scum of the earth.  The realization I probably am makes me feel sick.  I've just shown that I can't make competent arguments or decisions or do anything to help people.  If someone smarter than me could just take over this mess I've made right now, please please do.  I'd love to just sink back into the hedges and not have to think about this anymore.  I have to get off the computer and go to sleep.  I'm sorry for ruining everything.
