With that being said, the job will be done! Enjoy the new world when it is once released, and bring me some interesting stories!
==Event 4: Q & A==
Have any questions about the fanon? Ask a question, whether it be inspiration, allegories to real-life trends, or anything that you can think of.
But for the starters, I shall make an FAQ to address what will probably be common questions
*Q: Why do you use non-Anglical spelling, such as Kallisto (anglicized Callisto)?
*A: Because I like things transliterated. Enuff said. I generally rage over Latinization of many Greek names, such as Cleitus for Kleitos, especially that -us ending for -os, as I don't like Romans and their infernally overrated military, and chances are many anglicized names are usually derived from latinized names.
*Q: What is with all these terminologies?
*A: If you are an history fanboy/girl and played Europa Barbarorum on top, you will understand. If not, probably not, but then a quick explanation is that it's fun to make references to ancient systems and try to make a Sim counterpart to said practices, a common terminology that pops rapidly in the fanon being Cleruchy/Klerouchiai.
*Q: Story's a bit confusing.
*A: Go read the [[Fanon:Time Paradox/Laconic|Laconic]] section. It also minimizes the usage of the terminologies for maximum convenience.
*Q: What's up with all these characters? / Some characters on the list don't really have a plot
*A: Chances are:
#Crash happened.
#Minor Characters that were rarely if ever played. (e.g. Cultural Exchange Groups)
#Hekatonschoinos (well, it took months for me to find the lagging spot, applies to almost all Asian characters without a page)
#Too lazy.
#Other accidents (e.g. Aidouoi, recently recreated)
*A: Returning to the "all these characters?" I like making Sims.
*Q: Story doesn't make sense.
*A: Partly my fault, as many elements are used once and thrown away (e.g. possession of the Swansons, the Great War on Christopher Steel that didn't happen). However, ignore those fluff and it shouldn't be too much of an issue. Heck, most of the issues are solved with the Laconic section. I should get to cleaning some of the things, but then laziness calls.
*Q: Any chance pages of the minor sims are going to be made?
*A: Not likely. But then community interest never hurts. My fanon had some comments, although tend to be lot lacking compared to other fanon, such as that of Freedom50000.
