And hope we didn't make a typo that will cause the game to crash or our universe to blow up. Maybe in future OOTP versions they'll make it easier for us to contribute storylines - perhaps even a graphical tool to edit/generate a storylines.xml file.

Damn. That makes the situation even worse than I thought. All of the fix-it tools exist, and yet the problems remain?

Good idea. Why hasn't this been done before?
Again - storylines, a good concept for some, but IMO they are STILL IN EARLY BETA. They need to be fixed.
I note that the ONLY people making constructive suggestions are me, Cryomaniac, Hefalumps, Honorable Pawn, and Kingcharlesxii. Most everyone else just wants to either pose, attack or both.
What's interesting is that I was attacked and accused of complaining but not offering constructive criticism. When I did offer constructive criticism, all that most of you wanted to do was to keep attacking me, while not offering ANY constructive criticism of your own (thank you, Cryomaniac, Hefalumps, Honorable Pawn, and Kingcharlesxii, you three actually did the right thing).
Most of the rest of you proved MY point - that it doesn't matter here what you do, just who you are.
And I'm out of this thread. And see if you can guess what my setting for storylines will be.
