How soon things change ...

I know I shouldn't go anywhere near it, but every now and then something prompts me to go to the Harts website. Of course once I'm there I just can't help sniffing around and occasionally I dig up something like the following in the Ancestors of Albion section:

The Architect
The Architect was originally an Imperial ancestor and one that lost much power after the destruction of the Empire. He represents wealth, prosperity and civilisation ... and encourages his followers to see such things as signs of personal growth. Worship of the Architect is on the increase, especially in the southern duchies of Cornwall and Winchester. He is however often shunned by Albion's more tribal races (such as the elves).

Now I know this is bollocks on account of how I helped JFS to write it. Ordfinarily I wouldn't bother to raise this but I was fairly sure that confirmation that this was utter bollocks had been found by players several years ago.

I know it's none of my business any more but still ... it's annoying to see something that you have written and were once quite proud of, changed beyond all recognition. A bit like CS Lewis coming back to discover that Jadis had been re-written as one of Aslan's helpers.

Yeah, well.... um, yeah. There are entire encounters that occurred last year that some of the current plot team have claimed never existed. Despite me having sat through them while they reffed them. Ho hum. Revisionism is the way of the world it seems.

Reading this sort of thing is very interesting, especially as a relative newcomer to the plot team who is more or less uninvolved with the Architect stuff, both IC and OOC.
