or is it because we're friends with the guy OOC and decided he had a cool story idea?

In Character and Out of Character must be kept separate at all times, no exception. If you are looking for, or seek to promote something casual Role-play then, by all means, feel free to do so. But lorebreaking, (or bending) and breaking character for some casual fun Role-play is not something I would publically promote.

not to shit on ya buddy but you are definitely not an undisputed expert on canon lore

I'd have to agree with that observation thus far.

I don't see how I'm lorebreaking, bending or breaking character, nor did I mean "casual" by fun. I suspect there's some clear miscommunication going on here.

I'll try not to feel insulted, but your observations on lore - which as I've said I fully agree with - are all things I already know.

Your point about having our regular characters in Menaphos would be an entirely valid one, had it not been for the fact that I didn't say anything of that kind.

Your point about how a player should not rule on behalf of the Pharaoh would equally be an entirely valid one, had it not been for the fact that that's not what I'm trying to do.

If you're of the opinion that I'm lorebreaking, I'd appreciate an explanation as to why that's the case.

You do oversell yourself, we've debated lore multiple times in the WK CC and I'd usually end up giving examples that prove you wrong, such as vampyres NOT being undead, with in-game evidence, mod confirmation, and the World Guardian's own statements.
Or maybe the fact that demonic possession is a thing, and that exposure to darker energies/magic can lead to corruption, meaning demonic corruption is possible.
If you gave me time I could probably think of a few more that you disagreed with despite heaps of evidence. Mods pls notice me

There's an enormous amount of evidence, pre-Lord of Vampyrium, of vampyres being undead - including mod confirmation. It's a retcon or forgetfulness on Jagex's part.

I never disagreed with demonic possession being a thing. I seem to recall having some discussion on someone whose character was corrupted and calling upon demon powers, but as the lore says nothing conclusive in that department, I consider my questioning it to be a very fair matter of opinion.

"explain the reasons I was wrong". Again, this is subjective stuff, not lore. The lore has no examples of people with demon powers producing demon offspring, despite not being demons or presently possessed by a demon.

I found the issue, you're busy assuming things while claiming to be something you're evidently not
Regardless, my final thought on the matter is that you shouldn't be in charge of it, leave it to the desert rp'ers who actually have plans for it and aren't waving credentials that mean literally zero "A silly ***** is what I'm going to call **** jokes from now on."

I'm sorry, but I don't see how questioning if you are lorebreaking affects my lore credentials. By that logic, Dewiniaeth mustn't know lore because I "proved him wrong" to the point he deleted his posts on Page 2. Except he clearly does know desert lore - that's why he was questioning me in the first place.
