Clarifying my use of the word "ultimatum":

Quote:

Thus, and it saddens me to have to say this, but, Grimm, Doc, and I have come to an agreement.

We need this done. Whether to the letter, or, at least in nature. We need this done. For the future of our fiction here. And, we just aren't prepared to deal with the excessive confusion anymore.

So, if there can be no agreement reached, and we see that things are not going to change, then, the characters of Grimm (the Asylum, the Pantheon, Vengeance), Adem Different (Dirk Bell, the B-Team), and Ozzy Baxter (Turkish, The Order) will all be removed from the stories permanently, and will therein be relocated to a brand new story thread. This thread will consist of moving the characters into an "international office" branch of Vanguard, where the stories told shall have no ties to what you guys are doing.

That way, we will all be happy. You will have your conglomeration of mess, and we will have the type of freedom we wish to be able to tell stories, without having to worry about every last detail of someone elses character.

Don't read this the wrong way. My tone of voice should be coming across as neutral as possible. This is not a threat. It is, merely, a solution.



That's where ya lost me, Pro. If you hadn't included that, I'd have been a lot more receptive to your proposal. It's only my opinion, of course -- others may feel differently about it. That's all I have to say on that. I don't care to argue about the dictionary definition of "ultimatum" -- it's a gut reaction I have to this kind of thing more than anything, and I think it weakened your overall message somewhat. But on the other hand, its challenging tone got everyone's attention, so it wasn't all bad.
