Alright, logging this and sticking it up so's people know what's happened.
The Gist:
Sadistica: ((Due to complaints the decision has made to retcon a lot of the stuff that happened recently. No slavery backstories anywhere, and as a direct result, Sadi never attacked Tort.))
The Rest:
Kanephren: ((by coincidence, i probably know nothing of whichever is to be wiped.))
Elvander: ((what did i miss?))
JackCross: ((what complaint?))
Eytan: ((lol, what happened?))
Elvander: ((and who is actually hrtr?))
Elvander: ((*here ))
Mahmoth: ((...Interesting. ))
JackCross: ((I've never heard about complaints around here or on forum.))
Mahmoth: ((I've heard a few in faction and IRC. Whole thing would've resulted in a vast and horrific tide of Drama, Woe and Amputations.))
Elvander: ((wait... wahat?))
Mahmoth: ((Two amputations, thusfar, with an apparently endless war on our hands.))
Sadistica: ((one amputation is entirely unrelated, though.))
JackCross: ((well, at least I thought it was interesting, and nobody really got hurt.))
JackCross: ((at least we can try to ease this incident.))
Mahmoth: ((It was interesting, to some extent, but was ultimately endless, and somewhat overdramatic for my tastes.))
Eytan: ((can i fin d out what happened somwhere?))
Sadistica: ((The complaints were about the fact that it was so heavily based on slavery, which is a bit .. not suitable for a game like Skyrates, to some.))
Mahmoth: ((Yeah, that's pretty much what I heard. Especially sex slavery, which was the root of the whole thing.))
Elvander: ((abwatf? ))
Elvander: ((I blame talon

))
JackCross: ((maybe we should just put an end on this story quickly.))
Kanephren: ((if all else fails - blame Talon))
JackCross: ((will story become confusing if we take this plot out?))
Mahmoth: ((Retcons make everything more confusing.))
JackCross: ((Like: Bombing and Heartbreaking Aftermath will simpliy disappear.))
Mahmoth: ((Might be worth posting on the forums about it. It's a big thing that's being removed...))
*Refresh/Character switch break*
Anya Vyrdahl: ((did they actually pull out the slavery bit?))
Mahmoth: ((Looks like.))
Leofrin: ((Who made the decision was it to pull that out?))
JackCross: ((if they all agreed, then I have nothing to say.))
Anya Vyrdahl: ((power to the people))
JackCross: ((still very disappointed.))
Anya Vyrdahl: I'm not, having witnessed what a slippery slope this kinda thing can be
Anya Vyrdahl: ((ooc that))
Mahmoth: As long as everyone knows about it, we should be fine.
Mahmoth: ((ooc that as well.))
Elvander: ((i missed it all, so, no loss here

))
Mahmoth: ((Good for you...))
JackCross: ((like what we always say on Anime: It became Black History!))
Anya Vyrdahl: ((I dunno, I've played adult games with strict 18 year age restrictions where that kind of thing was the norm, and it wasn't such an issue. but this is supposed to be a disney based family game, that's a little much for this environment))
Anya Vyrdahl: ((if you're looking for text based rp with those kind of themes, I can refer you someplace if it's still up and running

))
Luciferian: -.-
Elvander: ((>.< ))
JackCross: ((So nobody got hurt.))
JackCross: ((Elena is fine.))
JackCross: ((Phedre didn't want to kill herself.))
Mahmoth: ((Not sure. Simi's still unlegged, as hers was unrelated. But yes. Noone got hurt, as noone got hurt anyway.))
JackCross: ((And I killed a very bad pirate instead of a slaver.))
Elvander: ((so /why/ did phed want to off herself//))
Mahmoth: ((Works. ))
Mahmoth: ((Rejected by Talon? >_>))
Anya Vyrdahl: ((drama? ))
Matt Daniels: ((DAmn, Anya, you beat me to it.))
JackCross: ((Well, if there's no such thing, Phedre probably won't want to kill herself.))
Mahmoth: ((We'll retcon that when s/he wakes.))
Elvander: ((bah, retcon makes the panda sad.))
Mahmoth: ((Yeah, this is one huge, sad panda.))
JackCross: ((and Jack is going to Tortuga only for looking jobs.))
Leofrin: ((I kind of agree on the 'depth' that it might've been a tad much for the environment, but that's something that really should've been thought out before the bomb was dropped on all of us. It's a hard explosion to fix back up.

))
Sadistica: ((Phedre's home on Tort was still burned down, afaik - just by 'some very angry pirates'))
Leofrin: ((Soooo, there was no big pirate attack on the R&P then?))
Okol Zumabarota: ((just put it all down to a chronological hiccup caused by the unobtanium.))
JackCross: ((Ok, Elena was not a slave, just an orphan been raise up by pirates.))
Elvander: ((salvery is a good reason to fight, and it gives a good reason for there being so many {static} pirates on the trade rouites

))
Mahmoth: ((Doesn't seem so. Xavier can still be here, and if we can fiddle with timing, that can be made part-reason for Phe's suicide, I think.))
Elvander: ((random acts of violence))
JackCross: ((And actually her pirates parent were nice people. Just don't want to let Elena become a pirate. So they give her to Grey?))
JackCross: ((Man, that's even more dramatic.

))
Mahmoth: ((Possible. See what he thinks when he wakes. Sounds halfdecent, certainly.))
Eytan: ((why is slavery such a problem?))
Marcus Cunningham: ((Cause it's bad))
Anya Vyrdahl: ((disney based family game))
Elvander: ((not the slavery so much, as the /type/ of slavery))
Anya Vyrdahl: ((sex-slave industry = Cool Devices, not Tail Spin))
Eytan: ((so normal slaverys ok?))
Anya Vyrdahl: ((you're toeing the line

))
Eytan: ((meh ))
Marcus Cunningham: ((Well, they're okay for a plot, but they're certainly not okay in the sense of tolerance.))
Eytan: ((lol ))
Mahmoth: ((Just a little over the top, indeed.))
Elvander: ((I can't see why not, as long as it's generic labour.))
Anya Vyrdahl: ((I wouldn't have a problem with backstory, but bringing it into a plot where slavers are attacking the place where EVERYONE is, so it's not even an option to 'not get involved' puts it over the edge))
Eytan: ((this is supposed to be a world, and wether people likeit or not, bad things happen. i get why you shouldnt get all visual with the descriptions, but bad stuff should be allowed, up to a point that is.))
Marcus Cunningham: ((True. Plot hammering is never anyone's idea of fun, except the person running the plot.))
Anya Vyrdahl: ((you can have been subjected to slavery, just don't subject me with your slavers

))
Mahmoth: ((Bad stuff does happen. Masscres occur, nigh-everyone here has a tragic backstory, but sex slavery was always a few inches over the line.))
Elvander: ((aye ))
Eytan: ((lol. i think i really missed something. is this stuff recorded anywhere?))
Editings in:
JackCross: ((so if we are in this kind ofgame. is there nice pirate?))
Mahmoth: ((The ones who'll trade with us on Tort?))
Leofrin: ((I don't see why there couldn't be 'nice pirates'.))
Major Science: ((just to throw my two cents in - my objection to sex slaver is do we want that as part of the official "canon" of skyrates? IMO, no))
Leofrin: ((I mean, even TaleSpin, Okay, maybe Don Carnage wasn't 'Nice', but he was darned sociable at times.))
Anya Vyrdahl: ((the pirates are fairly nice. they take your goods and let you fly away every time

))
Leofrin: ((I agree with the Major there.))
Marcus Cunningham: ((True Leo, it was Sher Khan who was the pirate in that show.))
JackCross: ((You got the point, Marcus

))
Leofrin: ((It's just a hard bit to retcon, what with all battles because of it, but I thought it might be a bit over the line, myself.))
JackCross: ((and...Devs are all pirates! We love them!))
Major Science: ((haha, yeah, would phil enslave you for sex?))
Major Science: ((don't answer that))
JackCross: ((your question frighten me.))
Marcus Cunningham: ((How's about this last point, and then we stop this OOC madness: Schala and Knappekat's characters were seriously... SERIOUSLY affected by the exchange over the tavern. If the two of them are okay with this retcon, then I welcome it gladly. Otherwise, well, we may need to work on something new. Either way, the Vulture is on patrol around the Tavern's skylandette.))
JackCross: ((Ok, I guess our battle with Leofrin and Elvander still stand))
Leofrin: ((Yeah, Jack. That was unrelated.))
JackCross: ((Yes. OOC out.))
Knappekat: ((I for one am cool with the retcon - Knapp's angst can very easily come from normal everyday pirates.))
