On MCYT/SMP: The correct answer to "how are these things different?" is not "they're just different!"

https://yuletide-admin.dreamwidth.org/124620.html?thread=2959820#cmt2959820

Mods: "The issue here is that we're getting a lot of evidence posts that say "This one is different. This one is different," but without information that clarifies how they're different - and we'd appreciate this in text."

Drive-By Commentator: I think it just comes down to it being hard to explain how some are different beyond the fact that they are different servers with different worlds, especially in more comedic than lore-heavy (in the sense of something very fantasy/drama roleplay based like Dream SMP) servers.

It's easier when a server has a distinct gimmick or big overarching plotline, but sometimes the difference is just "it's a different world with different events".

Everything about MCYT fandoms feels like a giant headache and I applaud the mods for dealing with it.

To be fair if I was asked to explain how two different canons were different in this way I'd also struggle with that, even though they'd be obviously different.

The easiest way to say two canons are different is something like "It's a different world with different events" and after that you've got to get into the weeds on details. I guess I'd go for an overarching summary of the plot for each canon, posted separately since they're totally different sets of events so it's not like there's going to be any overlap, but that just feels like expanding on the different worlds/events thing so I'm not sure if that's what's being asked for here.
