User talk:Etzan/Resolving the crisis/@comment-1633483-20140825170505

I would like to reiterate a few important facts:


 * I have absolutely no problem with the vast majority of users I can only assume are apart of this "Xonexi group". I see only individual users, not a singular bloc that I am apparently forced to inherently dislike and distrust based on the fact that I created the MCA, and I certainly hope the same is true for everyone else. In fact, I have spoken to quite a lot of these users on good terms since this argument, so I personally think the claim that there are two warring blocs on the wiki is a bit of an exaggeration, as is the claim that my fiction is incompatible with Katarian fiction (I actually see them as being quite similar in the grand scheme of things). Furthermore, I am willing to work with the one or two users I do have a problem with on a professional basis if the situation arises, provided that they refrain from a repeat incident of what happened on the UDB. On that note, I understand the claim that it was all in-fiction and I acknowledge that I overreacted but nevertheless, I doubt this entire incident would have occurred if such a well-organised and synchronised lambasting of our fiction was actually plainly discussed with us beforehand. As in, not just a couple of comments in private chat about how the rejection would be viewed. In the future, open communication should instead be utilised, though I personally don't see (and never did see) the two organisations-proper (not individual member fictions and users, obviously) in collaborative fiction together given the fact that it has been said time and time again that the MCA is uninvolved with the GCs, both in-universe and out-of-universe.


 * This is a relatively minor note, but I don't think arguments against divisions and factions should be put to what many consider a faction to decide upon before consulting the community at large. I know of the positive intentions of course, but as far as I'm concerned it also strengthens the barriers that we are trying to get rid of. Again, this is only an observation for future reference.


 * On that note, I personally won't be returning to the Gigaquadrantic Conflicts. I have neither the time, the patience or the enthusiasm to do so, at least not until I believe that it will actually bring groups of users together as was initially intended rather than exacerbate the divisions between them. I strongly believe that starting it, despite the enjoyment it brought to some users, was a grievous error on my part and if I could reverse time to prevent myself from starting it, than I surely would. Of course, I will still be continuing my plots as either stand-alone stories or a part of the Galaxies at War saga. I also think its important to remember that especially at this time of year, people might be too busy to work on a vast collaborative fiction designed to bring everyone together, especially when there will always be people who don't particularly want to join such a fiction especially when you consider the reaction the GC received.

My suggestions for resolving this incident have already been made clear by both Wormy's suggestions on the forum regarding wiki-wide projects (not relating to the Fictionverse) perhaps relating to the Mainspace and my suggestion on the same forum regarding a form of community management council created to be a non-biased forum to solve arguments and discuss topics important to the wiki as a whole.
