While you kind gents and ladies are on the subject of reworking the Jedi Order, why not make it more in tune with canon and reinstate the idea of having a Grandmaster?

*thinks Alpharius might purposely be trying to cause trouble * But on that topic as much as I would like to have a GM, there is just no way for this group of people to agree on one person (although I think we are close to that point at sometime in the future if we so choose) But as far as the "undercouncils" goes it looks like so far there is enough support and people working with it that it's a very viable idea. And truth the CoFK is has enough members because I would volunteer to be the third member/council rep (assuming I do actually get a post on the council). That being said this part is directly to my friend Will: I appreciate your passion and commitment to ideals and trying to keep the order on track, but.... at this point this is the direction we have decided for ourselves and while we understand your opposition we (as a general group) decided that the benefits outweigh the risks and it looks like this is something we are going to try. That being said I would love for you to turn your passion into helping us make this work, because if we are ALL working toward the same goal that will also help us all work together and become a great team. I know you can be a real asset to us when you start working with us on this, and I personally would love to work with you instead of still arguing with you.

No grandmaster. While its a great principle to try for, there are a ton of reasons why it just wont work on JvS. I have not the time nor the inclination to list them, as it would more than likely cause hard feelings from some people. I'm really not in the frame of mind to deal with the fallout from that.
Lets just get the HC nominations over with, and we can go from there.

Personally, I wish to see a Grand Master. Every nation has that 'figurehead' to look up to, to admire. Even if it is literally just a figure head with no extra benefit. It's the psychological benefit.

The GM is something we aspire to have someday... but to be honest it's not it's just hasn't been very feasible in the past but I am actually hopeful for the future.

Old ties washed away in the face of a new start. Food for thought.

New start, sure....but not yet. As Mike said earlier, its something we aspire to have, but we don't have it yet...We aren't ready for it.

Hey guys! Been a while since I've written this character and I thought it was a good opportunity to bring him back. I'm not as active as I want to be but I could probably get a steady storyline going, just have to get back into the swing of writing a Jedi.

Considering you just got a dearth of darksiders making Jedi characters, don't you worry about it. If there is something we're familiar with, it's drumming up organization and working out the kinks in SL's. I don't know if you notice, but the major plots tend to be driven by darksiders. We have a knack for this sort of thing. We'll fix the Order up and give the Cold War a good frosty conflict. Trust me, we got this. (We, as in the whole gaggle of Jedi, not just the new ones.) In the meantime, Raylia will be considered part of the CoFK, which for the time being can be an NPC entity for all I care. I just need it to be plot hooks for a couple things Ray is going to do. We'll get the HC set, the temples figured out as far as what stays and what goes and we'll see where we sit after that. If we have support and numbers to expand to the other three, so be it. If not, fine too. So would that mean Octavious reports to Dev or Ray?

Jedi shadows report to whoever leads their usergroup. Ray will just be a quest giver for whoever wants a SL.

Hey, I've been Rping with NPCs for so long now, it'll just be a delightful change of pace to have some Jedi to interact with...even if its through a bureaucratic structure like a council below the High Council. Wait, should a hermit be sad that he doesn't have anyone to RP with? Also, check Broon Kano's sig, that's a throwback. Very nice. And, I do not think that word means what you think it means...a "dearth" is a scarcity; just fyi.

Well damn. It was late when I was writing that. I plead grief and exhaustion.

No judgment here; just trying to help.
So, questions: what's going on with the Mando War across the uni? What's going to happen to Yavin? And, by extension, Ossus? Do we still plan on taking back Ossus from the Mandos (once they sack it [though, the outcome isn't official, yet...we could still pull out a stalemate])? Is Yavin falling to the Mandos or staying in a stalemate? Is the Mando War stalling? Starting? Just not sure how it stands.
Or should I wait and see what the new HC wants to do once elected?
I mean, I'm just rolling with the RP on Ossus for the moment...though it's slow going as usual on Ossus. Hey, what can I say? We go at our own pace.

It would be a good idea to discuss what we are going to do about the mando war and such. Personally as far as at least Yavin goes I think we should just kind of let it be and sort of "ignore" it. Basically what I mean is treat it like an Elephant in the room and just not worry about it for the moment, mostly because it has the potential to have a lot of personal issues brought up and all of that stuff. But aside form that I think everything else is just going to roll on as planned.

I agree with Mike. I think the destruction of Carida could galvanize everyone into breathing new life into it and forget Yavin for a time being.

Mike, 2 people don't count as the general whole. And putting HCs on multiple councils is fueling the issue all over again.
I've spoken to Corr about how to bring the Mando War to a close, I will invite people to write on that thread and contribute there, I've made some suggestions to him and he seemed to generally approve. I will let him and you guys play that out. I will do my best to bring my contributions to the war to a a swift close. Including Ossus, Dressel, Carida.

It is more than two Will, but what I mean is the responses have all been positive aside from yours.
