You've been such an active and important asset to this community, thank you for your time here, dude. It was appreciated and we're definitely going to feel your absence. But before you go I really do want to clarify some things. (this mainly for Nutter and it's hecka long so everyone else can stop reading :)) Firstly, I've been getting the feeling that you're so against adding a more mature aspect to the wiki because you think it's not godly. I know how devout you are to Christianity and that's a wonderful thing, I am too. But still, I believe that adding the mature aspect is an okay thing and I just feel the need to explain why, being a Christian as well. I'm gonna be pretty blatant here. Life isn't just struggling with a bad grade on a test, a fight with a friend, or a person you like not liking you back. Life is also struggling with drug addiction, your significant other cheating on you, or a kidnapping in your hometown. These are obstacles that, while they are scary and harsh, happen in life and it's all allowed to occur by God. If God wanted to, He could end it all but He doesn't because He wants us as humans to grow as people and to learn something from the mistakes we make and the battles we fight. Not only that, but he also wants us to use our knowledge and love to help those we see in those kind of situations out of them in a way that coincides with His word. Humans are imperfect and there's so much that we do wrong. But God have us freewill, freewill to make ourselves better. It is through stories of freewill humans that creators can teach and audiences can learn. The mature programming allows us to tell these stories on a more, to be honest, real level. Life is tough and it's not like you can avoid the negativity and unholiness it throws at you. I consider myself to be a person who tries to do good, I'm far from perfect, but I try and I speak to God everyday. But that doesn't make me exempt from unholy disturbances. I have some friends who told me the other day that they smoke and I was really baffled because I've never been friends with people who do that let alone think it's okay. But they're my friends and nice people so I wasn't just going to drop them. I thought about it and realized that I could be just the example they need to realize what they're doing is wrong and when the time is right, I could actually talk to them about it. Even aside from that, sometimes I get tempted and do the wrong thing but I have freewill that God gave me to do better as my life goes on. Good is more powerful than evil and while good shouldn't follow evil, it should always meet it. At the end of the day, WC is purely a choice, it's not like it's real life, so if you don't want that sort of thing around your spirit, that's okay. But basically what I wanted to say by explaining all of this is that writing mature storylines are not unholy like you might think. They are simply real life. We as Christians live in this real life and it's our job to make it better, we can't just ignore it. Story telling is one of the best ways to do so. That was a a long firstly. Secondly, I hope it wasn't this that set you off cause that was purely for tea. :P
