Don't worry about it, learning experience! It would have been truly amazing and remarkable to know and understand all this without making the mistakes first. We were coming to Sinai off of the trials and tribulations of Genesis back when after all, and a lot of it was imitating what we'd already seen done, except with our own setting. It's totally reasonable that we'd try to do some grand arcs as well as the day-to-day slice-of-life things.

That said I wouldn't try to do it again mostly because of the number one thing-- our own circumstances have changed and we no longer have the kind of free time it takes to do random RP all over the place. I'd sooner try writing a book or an adventure game.
