Quote from Jeanette on Oct 24th, 2016, 4:04pm:Note: It is established that Jeanette traded thirty self-adhesive bandages and she got a pair of Lister bandage scissors. There was more to it than that; for the sake of my request, that's all that's relevant.
My question is should something that has been established be changed without it being explained in the story as to how it is changed? If it is, I believe other players need to know what change is requested, know if it impacts other parts of the story, how and make a decision to approve the change or not.
Also, should this be added to the rules? I can write a draft of the rule before it is decided.
The bandages and bandage scissors mentioned have not been used in another part of the story. Therefore no other part of the story needs to be changed for continuity reasons.

Nothing to do here. If she got them in a trade, she got them in a trade. Despite being thrown back into the 1800's in terms of many technologies, people can rebuild from what they had if they have something to build from. Medical technology is iffy at best. A PET/CAT/MRI scan will be hard to do as they require a few extra things, like radioactive tracers.to be picked up by the device, but X-rays will still exist. But bandages, splints, et al - those are easy to do if they have something to copy from.
This is why cars and trucks are running. This is why trains are running. This is why Blimps are flying, and to some extent, gliders are flying but not jets or large propeller plans. If the people would find the large airplane grave yards, who knows. But that is a stretch.
