To Snapp, you're simply missing the point. Continuum is not a conversion, nor is it following Vanilla lore to the T. It's exploring a timeline in which certain elements are not the same.
Think if you went back in time, killed a few people, and invented the automobile engine 100 years early. Life today wouldn't be exactly the same. While in general, the US is still the US and China still is going to take over the world (lol), but not everything is the same as it would have been otherwise.
That is Continuum. (minus the time travel)
Don't think I'm spoiling anything, just trying to rectify the name a bit.
