ok - sometimes i want to delete that sentence because i disagree with it, and think it's not helpful to say that as an introduction to new folks who let it limit their brainstorms..
half the premises in OA are written because some of us thought they're cool (Giant empire of Cyborg Dinosaurs in Space!). There's almost always some kind of more elaborate justification than that, and yes everything is supposedly *possible* according to our current understanding of physics.
I don't even know how many self-inserts exist in the setting, especially from early contributions.
but i'd say tell us this self indulgent idea, if you're comfortable and let others judge if it's actually inappropriate
Todd's outlines of what's allowable is true... but i think the what's appropriate is all about implementation, to be honest..
not appropriate:
"and then the populations of the Vorzan orbital swarm fought a space battle over territory using giant robots using magmatter swords"
probably appropriate:
"In 6092 AT the populations of the Vorzan orbital swarm voted to use their extra automated industrial capacity to build giant mecha robots for a sports event. The popularity of the broadcasts even convinced a S3 to gift the sports league with swords made from exotic matter."
