You say this is about "revitalization", but all this thread is about is criticizing a few of us on our fiction style, while hypocritically saying we need to encourage more fiction styles.

GXS is called cluster-wide but that doesn't mean anyone is forced to participate. Encouraged yes, but not marginalized. Many powers are involved in it but no one's been forced into, and no one is getting punished for refusing to participate. We don't even call it gigaquadrant-wide since the GC failed hence the name Great Xonexian Schism, it only affects the nations involved which shockingly are almost entirely in Xonexi and features several of the largest powers within that cluster, the region where our IC power struggle exists. And even then you're saying you want to reboot the war of ages which is a gigaquadrant-wide fiction that would marginalize any of us who don't want to get involved in it.

And yes, some of us like to emphasize politics over the actions of a few characters. Your statements of telling us to move to another galaxy are just outright insulting, we can't do it in Cyrannia, Borealis, or any of those so where does that leave? Milky Way and Andromeda. Many of the involved factions have even long been set in Xonexi. We include these themes within GXS and similar or related fictions of ours but once again no one is being forced to include it, especially outside said fictions. Some of us don't like dealing with superpowered character and gods and demons and do not prefer that style either nor want to be forced to adopt that genre. We don't hold this preferred style as infallible but it's the kind of fiction we like to write.
