A lot of my focus has been poured into my custom champion. It's really the only project that's been seeing consistent growth thus far. The other two voluntary projects I'm working on have really shaky progress. Riot is effectively eliminating the premises of the damage resistance formula project. Few people have any idea what to do to actually make some progress on the autonomous boat in Robotics Club.

Zara really has been the only one project that has gone undisputed. Not wholy accepted, just undisputed. So, I have a gigantic opportunity to make an amazing lore from this. I don't like being a skeptic, but I hate to see skepticism destroy perfectly valid ideas.

I've thought critically about the boat and the formula projects and found some concerning issues I need to address first. However, when I thought critically of Zara, and even asked for criticism, I fixed all of the concerns swiftly.

Before I post an essay, I take quite a lot of effort to handle most of the potential backlash that would ensue. Not really to decimate the opposition, rather to facilitate a civil debate.

Really the only backlash I am ever concerned about is the kind that would destroy the discussion altogether. It's fine if ideas change into something very different, but not if the entire purpose is invalidated. A couple of destructive questions that I am not prepared to answer for the formula project are: These are two fundamental questions that will topple the project when answered poorly. I have not yet found a satisfactory conclusion to the chain of catastrophic questions that follow. For the first question it breaks down at:
 * 1) Why is this formula change necessary?
 * 2) How difficult would it be to make this change balanced?

If we already have, , and , then are tanks not already in a perfectly good spot?

The second question breaks down at the very beginning. Since we don't have upper bound protection, we really don't have balance at all yet. The only real way to overcome this is with plotted examples of what we consider acceptable EHP ratios. Like
 * = 50%
 * = 150%
 * = 1000%
 * = 5000%

However, even if we eventually find a formula here. We need to prove that given, , , , and , tanks are not tanky enough. This is a proof that we need to wrap our minds around before we can hope to proceed.

So, with the terrible prospects out of the way. I do think I can at least create an evolution in lore with Zara. I'm guessing you haven't read his lore yet given your response. If you are indeed curious, that should be the first thing you check out.

I haven't made the most detailed expositions and it's mainly because I don't want to dwell in the same spot for too long. Nowadays people just want to get to the point as soon as possible when reading something and I think my story handles that well at least. It's not a short story by any means, but it is eventful or vivid.

There are many things I am attempting to explain in this story. To think I've already checked off on five of all of these bulletpoints. I'm storming through this story. If you want to be one of the very few people who knows exactly what I'm doing for this story. I'll fill you in on all the details. I've only shared the whole story with one person thus far.
