Mary Sue: Origin posted:This character can also be found burrowing her way into the good graces/heart/mind of one of the Big Three [Kirk, Spock, and McCoy], if not all three at once. She saves the day by her wit and ability, and, if we are lucky, has the good grace to die at the end, being grieved by the entire ship. Its been nearly five years, how much longer do we have to wait for these guys?

Now I'm sad I didn't submit an overpowered, over-storied doff literally named 'Mary Sue'.

All of those doff contest winners are predictably awful. Did they decide this by pubbie votes or did Cryptic choose?

All three doffs are female, of course. Well, apart from the cat thing. That's been spayed.

Lose at least two traits and remove that stubborn line (it sounds like the sort of stilted quality lines they had in voyager though) and it'd be somewhat close to ok. Still rather useless cos who needs a melee doff against borg these days, but we can't expect much innovation from pubbies. Wait. It's supposed to be female?!

The player is a girl, and she designed Jan to look exactly like her, so it's mired pretty firmly in Mary Sue land, right down to the wacky lol her weakness is coffee angle.

gently caress THIS GAY EARTH The whole name a doff was just a stunt for PR. I bet that bluegeek rear end in a top hat was behind it all along! In other news, I'm remaking that foundry mission I made before I got banned. gently caress the haters.

So funny story, one of the officers in my WoW guild used to work on Star Trek Online. According to him the reason he (and a few other people) quit is that Perfect World has a "formula" they use for all their MMOs and they were imposing it on STO, which clashed with the creative culture at Cryptic.
