* AuthorsSavingThrow: [[WordOfGod Thorvald states]] that Hacker Prime was a last-ditch attempt to reclaim the Hacker as DYOS XI's BigBad after literally years of VillainDecay. While the sub-arc dragged the story's end out even further, his [[TookALevelInBadass re-characterization]] was received warmly.

* FridgeBrilliance: When the Hacker's avatar gives [=CivGeneral=] the TimelineAlteringMacGuffin, it feels like an AssPull simply to set up Alternate 2011. But [[http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?p=10275452#post10275452 the same comic in which Dr. Richtofen steals the book]] concludes with the cryptic suggestion that the Hacker had somehow plotted it. Given that he had recently split from Wesker, the whole thing might have been a XanatosGambit to eliminate his leading rivals, since in the new timeline the Sibling Empire imprisons [=CivGeneral=] and executes Wesker while ''he'' becomes a Nobel laureate. The Hacker, therefore, no doubt aware Wesker was tracking him, ''intended'' to be overpowered in the encounter, knowing Richtofen would then steal the book.

* ContinuityLockout: A couple dozen forum pages in, and even some of the contributors find themselves lost. Particularly bad in the older stories when maintaining coherence wasn't even ''considered''.


Added DiffLines:

* GrowingTheBeard: DYOS 10 introduced a new set of rules intended to curb the ridiculous plot twists that had plagued earlier editions, resulting in a more cohesive story that was the first to reach a satisfactory conclusion. This was also when the core contributors began taking the narrative seriously, and subsequent instalments more closely resemble a collaborative webcomic than the free-for-all it used to be.
