Don\\\'t just dismiss that as being \\\"fanon\\\" without any justification, that\\\'s kind of aggravating

\\\'\\\'The fact that all universes are essentially floating in the Furthest Ring\\\'\\\' Each session. Universes =/= sessions, we don\\\'t know where the Genesis Frogs are yet. And I haven\\\'t been saying that they aren\\\'t independent but that within terms of the story we can draw the conclusion that certain events happen after other events. No, from a temporal perspective, you could argue that they\\\'ve always existed and always will continue to exist because time isn\\\'t linear, but from the thread of actions shown in the comic you can draw out a chain of events that is functionally identical to a timeline.

So yes, while the Human session and the Troll session technically exist at the same time, the Human session could not exist were it not for the actions taken in the Troll session.

You\\\'re correct though in that there are multiple interpretations; describing time is always an interesting prospect, and we could honestly go on for quite some time. I fail to see how it can hurt to rearrange sections though.

Also more and more I\\\'m thinking you \\\'\\\'really\\\'\\\' should do this on the MSPAWiki. The idea behind the Wiki is a largely factual place whereas TVTropes is more getting into a character\\\'s personality or something. I can\\\'t really describe it but there\\\'s a distinctly different tone to each and this page definitely has a tone more befitting a wiki. Likewise if you\\\'re going to be adding some extra pages to simply break it up, then that would make more logical sense over there too. I\\\'m kind of iffy on the Timeline page to begin with but adding 3 or 4 additional pages on top of that really just sounds like something that we should avoid if possible.

Basically TVTropes and Wikis do different things, and what you want to do is definitely more befitting of a wiki project. The only reason not to is basically what you said earlier \\\"I\\\'m not familiar enough with that wiki\\\'s rules and markup system to feel remotely qualfied to start such a massive project myself\\\", which admittedly is trivial to correct.
