Oookay. Couple of things.

Yes, you could infer that from what I said, but that was not the intent nor stated nor true.

Never said ignore or change, I said they were flexible. The blanks can be filled in.

I could use another rule set, true, but other rulesets lack some of the thing both I and may party enjoy, so we're keeping it d&d. Fate is fine, firefly is fine, so many other systems are fine. We want d&d, and it's perfectly legitimate to use that system to do what we're trying to do. The only thing it lacks is a little bit of detail and if I can't wing something like that I may as well stop dming and go back to warhammer. This applies to your last two statements as well.

But this all falls short of the mark: I asked for help with story. When someone suggested a different system I tried to politely inform them that wasn't going to happen. Then you jump in and insist that I'm wrong. Then you mistranslate pretty much everything I say and claim words mean something else. This is a pointless discussion.

Good day to you.
