I didn't mention Crion TS. I had a Ranger wandering around in a valley, when she encountered some Necrons and decided to feth off to warn the Craftworld. And I didn't mention Crion in my Knight Intro, just that they knew jack squat about their destination, but that the SW had called.

Nobody said not to, and it's a natural thing to do.
Introduce your characters

Intro
I said nothing about Crion, Chazz said nothing about Crion, Smudge said nothing about Crion and I don't think you did either...
This situation can go with the analogy of people playing dungeons and dragons and when the GM says, "There's a town up ahead"
somebody says "Oh, my character was already there"
"I haven't even said anything about the town..."
"Yeah, but I already had a confrontation in my head and its too good to not use"
"But I haven't said anything about the town..."
"Ok, but I am still going to use this confrontation I came up with."

It's the nature of an intro to a Crusade TS. We introduce both our forces and WHY they might be involved in this Crusade. It's as simple as that. I'm introducing my forces, and giving them a reason to be here, do you understand that now?

Both of my intros have reasons I would have heard of Crion.
The EC one is for midway through the crusade so it hinges solely on there being a fight and an opportunity to entertain themselves.
The RT intro has
Oh gak wait, I didn't post it. Basically a sentence in there says the Admech want to visit due to being explorators and being curious if there is tech. There's no other motivation other than "there may be SM tech or lore left by the guys who left".
That is why I asked if there was common knowledge that there *used to* be SM there.

This whole situation has arisen before where the GMs are working behind the scenes to create the crusade and the rest of us do something that may or may not interfere with what the GMs are doing and as such conflict is created where people get frustrated when they are asked to change their writing. And to be honest im not sure how to resolve it bar just wait for the GMs to finish. Just my two cents.

That's the problem, we don't know feth about it. Enlighten us on what we're getting in to, and communicate like everyone has been wanting you to do, and there won't be problems. We only get information when someone comes up with an idea, and then it gets shot down "for plot reasons" and then we decipher what the plot reason is.
So far we know that it is (probably) 5 years after CoF 1, it's an agricultural death world, which changes a lot of people's ideas drastically, and some trees apparently have enough plot armor to survive phosphex bombs.

I don't think you need to "give" people a reason for their faction to be involved. Surely we should be allowed to decide our force's motives for ourselves? Just sayin'.

I know, but Kharne and I worked hard on that intro, with my Rangers stumbling across his Crons' and rushing back to report this to the Craftworld. Part two of my intro was based (roughly) off of what I wrote in part one. To basically have it thrown out cuz "we aren't done with the background yet" is mildly irritating to say the least. Not to mention the craziness of an agri-world somehow devolving into a death world

Death world vegitation can be sometimes killed but live on in roots or regrow quickly. Like evil bamboo. Or some films have plants that feed off energy from attacks via certain weapons.
Look. Death world, agri world. Who cares. We all enjoy writing and give everyone tine to sort stuff out, chill and everything will come out in the end.
Aye agri/deargworld is odd but adds a new aspect plus atudy, find its weakness in crusade you can purge it at a fast rate.
Just lets all calm down and find a solution. Between us all we can fix it.
And sorry, I know I'm not gm but calm, leya not get worked up over a story.

In the Warp, getting trolled by Tactical_Spam, AKA TZEENTCH INCARNATE
Well, I have no idea what just happened over here, but I know it wasn't all that good.
I think (and this is just my personal observation) the main problem is that most of us can't do anything at the moment for any of our armies. I mean, on the one hand we can't write anything for the first Crusade anymore, as it is currently ending, and on the other hand, we can't write anything for the new Crusade because every time someone does it causes problems with the plans that are being constructed behind the scenes.
We're stuck in the transitional phase between the first and second Crusade, so problems are bound to ensue. What we can do is try to keep these problems to a minimum by communicating with eachother about the current state of affairs.
So let me do so by asking a few quick questions:
A. Is it okay to start writing intro stories, or is it best to wait until more information about the system is posted? (a bit too late to ask that now, but for clarity's sake, I ask anyway)
B. How much of the system/planet has been fleshed out so far? And how much more still has to be done?
C. What information has to be sent out about our armies?
Tactical_Spam: Ezra is fighting reality right now.

A: Writing an intro is fine, but I am against including anything to do with Crion. Only write about your characters. I don't care if you make up any fighting as long as it doesn't have to do with Crion.
B: Besides the map and some general exposition Chazz wrote, there is just about nothing.

I said nothing about Crion, Chazz said nothing about Crion, Smudge said nothing about Crion and I don't think you did either...
This situation can go with the analogy of people playing dungeons and dragons and when the GM says, "There's a town up ahead"
somebody says "Oh, my character was already there"
"I haven't even said anything about the town..."
"Yeah, but I already had a confrontation in my head and its too good to not use"
"But I haven't said anything about the town..."
"Ok, but I am still going to use this confrontation I came up with."
Woah, I haven't had any more of a say in this campaign than any other player. But it is logical to assume that a campaign set on the world might actually feature said world in the intro?
And your analogy, whilst making sense, isn't quite accurate. This would more be a case of "your character doesn't exist in the universe yet, and doesn't even exist in the country." The different provinces and fortifications would be our "towns".

We know it exists. And I'm fairly sure that on this planet and two moons, there MUST be a geographical location that supports the intros of these characters?

And VERY much agreeing here. Players choose their motives, not the GM. We know you want to make a good story, but please, build it around what the players tell you, not the other way round. The story is shaped by the players, who should in no way be railroaded and forced into a path. We make our reasons, and no-one else.

I'll take the blame for that part. The final section is taking it's time in being made, and I'm trying to get it all up, but it's a large job. I'm working as often as I can to get it done though, so you guys can finally move on.
