I hope you don't mind a non-current jumping in on the thread here, I'll delete if you want to keep it just current players opinions in this area, just let me know.

I wanted to run off of "...having the school be purely dressing room flavour feels like it takes away the legitimacy of what happens in terms of continuity?" It's a point that really hit me as well when I read it. If people are keeping their character continuity, but now anything that happens at a school setting is 'Non-Canon,' then it feels like anything that happened at a school setting previously is less important, or less 'canon' somehow. Was there a reason the mods chose "School is not DR" instead of "What if the school is over in that corner, but the focus is on this big fancy mansion"? Was it an attempt to keep the game from being too unfocused?

Like I said on Plurk, I really like the idea overall, and it opens up a lot of new opportunities, I am just beign nosy and curious.
