LMAO, whatever you say then. All character's that are "similar" abilities have to follow the same rules. No matter what level they're on, or how those said ablilities operate. 🙄Makes sense to me.[/B]
Again you're confusing character's abilities with the way those abilities are determined.

So how does something loses it's special status? Ds is different than most character's, and no matter what type of rules are made, or whatever the moderator says, this can't be DENIED! And I'm not saying this to wank him, a matter a fact this a bad if anything. Ds is very hard to generalize among other character's. He's inconsistent, confusing, and to damn complicated. Some thinks he's a weakling who can be beaten by Silver Surfer, some thinks he can take out Odin, some thnk he can stalemate, lose, or defeat Thanos, and so and so on.
The special status I was referring to was the allowing of a future version to be used to represent the capabilities of a character. Those days are over, now DS has the same rules concerning his abilities that every other character has.

As for your little "bickering" statement, no one was doing such a thing. What I thought I was doing with you, was debating. I was being respectful towards you and I thought you where doing the same. You getting Digi to specify the alternate timeline rule, felt like a cheap blow to me. How would you like to think you had the upper hand in a debate, only to have some kind of random and baseless rule, rubbed in your face after like 5 days? Would you like for someone to bump a thread just to do that? I fell that you of all people having to go to those lengths, is just sad. What if your trying to push a rule on people, that's kinda.....FLAWED? What if someone comes along, and make some very good points on this subject? This discussion had some good potenial, and there are many ways to make a case for both sides. You let me down when you gave your take on something, to a person with authority over me. Like I said, if I was so wrong about what I was saying, then couldn't you counter me, with [b]DIFFERENT examples rather than the "moderator said this" excuse? What if this rule turns out to be flawed? [/B]
I didn't mean that what was going on between the two of us was bickering, but you have to admit that what has gone down between the likes of you or nvr and quanchi on the matter WOULD fall under that category. It's just easier to get things clarified than to run around in circles. And it's not my fault that you feel cheated out of the "upper hand" in our debate. The fact is that I was ALWAYS backed by forum rules, you just didn't want to accept it. At best all you had was the "illusion" of having the upper hand, and that was only because I decided to wait for official confirmation before continuing. Now if someone comes along and convinces the Mods to change the rule to allow for alternate time lines I won't have any problem with that....as long as ALL alternate time lines are allowed rather than just the GDS. And you know what? Technically "What if's" are alternate time lines rather than alternate universes because they're SUPPOSED to be identical to Marvel 616 up until a very specific event happens(which is what makes them What If's). But as we've seen time and time again, What If's are a shitty reflection of Marvel 616.

And Goober, please don't put words in my mouth. I never asked for those to be official, or even specified.
You never asked for it, but it was pretty clear what was necessary...

Here's the problem, Digi's ruling is more of an opinion than a actual rule. Just because it came from a mod's mouth, doesn't make it fact. Secondly, Digi's well, retired if I'm not mistaken. Thirdly, the character is STILL the same person, and he was supposed to be weaker than his 20th centurary self. So how can you not give him credit, for those feats? We know the Gds existed, it's no illusion just a different timeline. People effected by the alterization of time, will not remeber the experiance. When the outcome of time is changed, it merely reshapes what already exist. Here's the challenge, find some context that says his powerset was somehow different, then you maybe on to something.

Here's the issue with that, that's not even in the forum rules. Sure the mods are great in all, but their opinion isn't always the most logical. They're humans to, and they are bound to make mistakes. To let you know, Gds Seid isn't so much an alternate version, but him living through a different setting. Same character with a different outcome. The Gds Seid and Foundations Seid, can't co-exist for both of them are within the SAME universe. Take for example, if you kill yourself in tha past, you'll cease to exist in the future. Meaning their logical has to be one of you, seeing how another can't remain in existance, without the presence of your younger self.

Again with this.... That's not OFFICIALY covered in the forum rules. I feel that it is just a opinion and nothing more. I also feel that it's just to illogical to, to accept as fact. Alternate universes and alternate timelines are NOT the samething. One is a seperate universe, the other is a different history in that the other one was changed, by screwing with the course of time. Take for example, you have a car. Then you replace the parts and change it's appearance. Same car, different look. That's how a alternate timeline/history is. Samething, only with different outcomes.
So now you know. It's not an opinion, it's a rule.
