Character Story Category Valid?

So, I was looking at the categories and stuff that showed up from the "Character Stories" pov, when I wondered whether the distinction was actually valid.

When I read the Defense Industry thing, I wondered whether or not that should simply be included under Economy;

Or the Matarchi Individual POV, just included under the a topic related to Matarchi (like Matarchi on the Recovery) or something independent under international incidents.

So thoughts?

I think when it comes to meetings between two people the topic should go here , and if its a company topic like info it should go in Economy, but as far as Matarchi's topic it seems like it should go under that thread because it doesnt really fit there

But economic moves -- like share acquisitions, even the negotiations -- should be included under Economy.

I mean, our diplomatic talks usually involve only two characters talking with each other, yet they don't go under Character Stories.

The topic seems rather redundant to me, and it seems to be discouraging people from writing more character stories in the other sections, when it really should.

Initially, I assumed the Character Stories were things that involved citizens without impacting the larger world and didn't reflect current events -- like a love story or a zoo escape -- or things like a student exchange program.

For example, try reading some of Alsatia's post under Operation Sapheri Anedri thingy. His has troops moving in and about Matarchi. But really, that'd fit under Character Stories too.

well yeah true a lot of topic could go under Charcter stories really, but I guess it just we as RPers dont see it that way Its how we see fit to add the stories in each thread I see what you are talking about though even some of your topics could go there its quite confusing some times but I think Charatcer stories is a good thread plus its getting used more than it use to which is good

I just believe as long as it is a personal Pov or at least is not a deal, or even explains an assignation attempt, its ok. For instance, a person remarking or experiencing events is ok, but two people conversing on important things is not.
