:: In any case, setting aside the tone issue in your previous message, I do want to thank you for your recent diligent work here, @Skteosk. This and previous talk page discussions have established that the idea that the War Chief became the Master does exist in [[Tardis:Valid sources|valid sources]], in the same way that such as ideas as the Doctor being a 49th century human does; but it's easy to get tunnel vision when one is defending a view that goes against the grain. The older, non-chronological version of the overview of the evidence for against really wasn't balanced enough, and while your edits in turn went too far in the other direction, I think the synthesis I tried to produce in my further edits last night is clearly superior to what was there before. <span style="color: #baa3d6;font-family:Comic Sans;">[[User:Scrooge MacDuck|'''Scrooge MacDuck''']]</span> <span style="color: #baa3d6;">[[User_talk:Scrooge MacDuck|⊕]]</span> 10:23, 25 June 2022 (UTC) | :: In any case, setting aside the tone issue in your previous message, I do want to thank you for your recent diligent work here, @Skteosk.

::Okay, I ''kind'' of get what you're going for here, but I still think it's a lot more ambiguous than "the Doctor and the War Chief are the only ones to have stolen TARDIses". Okay, the War Chief says "we shall be the only two who can travel through both space and time". But that means...what exactly? They're obviously not the only two Time Lords in existence, because the climax of the story involves a visit to a planet which is full of other Time Lords who can also travel through space and time. You ''could'' interpret it as meaning they're the only Time Lords to have left Gallifrey, but you could equally interpret it as simply meaning that they'll have an advantage over the War Lords which means they can easily take over from them. I think it leaves plenty of room for other Renegade Time Lords to exist in other galaxies or whatever. (Incidentally, I had another problem with half your signature not being present when I started editing. I've tried to put it back as I found it, apologies if I didn't succeed.)[[User:Skteosk|Skteosk]] [[User talk:Skteosk|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 11:26, 25 June 2022 (UTC) | |||
