But as to all this, I find it very realistic to do what I had done. I had only checked the date on wiki. I didn't go in depth. I saw 429 BC an said "OK, my date is 429 BC. Marking that on your calender, it's Classical Greece. It say's classic greek on wiki? This has to be right." How is this at all unrealistic? As to why I didn't call you out, why would I draw attention to the one character you happened to name by chance? We weren't sharing character claims so I decided to not draw attention to it. You said "probably" anyway and 429 BC is pretty close to Archaic. I wasn't really thinking about the time it was actually written. Apparently what I was looking at was just when it was performed. I also didn't think my claim would cause this much of a commotion. It's pretty darn close to the era and the mistake is pretty clear. If you can't see how this was an easy mistake, you'll kick yourself if you lynch me.
See, you admit here that you saw me place Oedipus as Archaic and took note of it, yet your claim does not include any comment on it, even with Yuna dead as your daughter - and let me tell you, a character who's role status is linked to her character, and who's bad rap is directly from her father, you, is not doing you any favors in my head either, "I look evil because my father looks evil", unless we're to think you have miller status too, doens't look to wonderful.
So you took note of it, even worried over the possibility of correcting me for drawing attention to yourself, but felt no call to mention it today? I'm not exactly ready to wrap a noose around your neck yet but that doesn't look good. I'm also unclear why you'd think questioning an example in the question would single you out, why would "Wait, isn't Oedipus Classical Era?" light a signal fire on you?
It could possibly not have lit any fires under me, but at the same time if people want to guess my character they just have to look at that post and it's decently clear. At least in my eyes it would be. Not that it's damning, but still. I could understand how it doesn't look good for me and that's pretty inevitable at this point but it's just not the type of thing I really expected to be called out. And I certainly didn't expect to see Helladic. I didn't see my era being put to question especially because of the date that I saw and it's proximity to the Archaic age as you said. Maybe I should have said something but it can't be helped at this point.
As to Yuna, I hardly even read the intro message. I scanned it for the role and closed it up. I didn't know Oedipus's daughter's name, really, and it didn't ring any bells for me. It would have helped if it had mentioned that she was the daughter of Oedipus. But it didn't .
Not this is really an excuse but finals started 2 weeks ago and I have recently moved to North Carolina so my life is quite chaotic right now. That might also explain some scatterbrained-ness.
