Galactic Republic

The Drama!

The Intrigue!

So exciting!

Seems I shall need popcorn.

Speaking of Drama...

I'm done. It's Crom'nen, so he went about it this dick-ish way possible, but the hearing is over as far as he is concerned. Thank you Rawkill for setting me up (even if unintentionally). We can debate it or whatever, but Crom'nen's involvement in it is done. Bel'fima might be involved in the discussion too, but she is designed to be a moderating influence on Crom'nen anyway, so hopefully now we can start repairing the relationships hurt by the Mando War, IC and OOC.

One thing I would say is that we need to either join together or split apart. This halfway crap is what got us in trouble in the first place. That doesn't mean that we can't be separate factions, but we need to have a detailed relationship clearly defined on paper, so when issues come up, we can point to an agreement. For example a Jedi told me via chat that the Jedi Council can veto anything decided by the Senate (I will name names, but only via PM, because I don't want to start a fight. But this person I have gotten into it with before, as both this and my Jedi character). This is not true. Last time I got into it with this person, I nearly quit. I've been playing since day 1 of 1.0. As far behind as we have fallen, we cannot afford to let a few dominant personalities (myself included) run people off. If I need to leave this faction or even this website because that is what is best for this group as a whole, I will do so. But we absolutely have to pull together or tear apart.

As far as I know the Jedi council can't just Veto things... sure we can veto things that are directly aimed at as as far as how we react to them, but that doesn't "technically" nullify the law, it just forces you to try to reprimand us or change the law.

Why not undergo a Ruusan Reformation of our own, and have the relationship between the Republic and the Jedi be likened to what it was during the Golden Ages of the Old Republic? Where they adopt their paramilitary roots within this Unicameral federal democratic republic as Guardians of Peace and Justice among the galaxy, preventing conflict and political instability within the factions current borders.

Now before everyone boards the hate train with several bottles of haterade, note that this is only a suggestion that will bring our relationship back towards a more Canon and manageable ideal.

Blessings upon you,

Esteemed members of the Republic, allow me to introduce myself, I am Vordaan of The Th'tremsi (fanon species i am in the process of getting approved). Introductions aside, I am currently working my way towards getting my people set up on Talus, along with some people on Selonia and Drall and was hoping to add a Senator to the Republic to represent The Th'tremsi/Talus/Selonia/Drall, if that would be alright? Primarily The Th'tremsi are like the Lightsided version of the Sith Species, so there will potentially be some warriors aiding the Jedi at some point, but there is some good chances for them to interact within the Republic, especially since their unique views will bring some contrast against the views of other Senators.

May your days be long and your hardships few,

I'm pretty sure Adi approached me about having Honoghr join the Republic over a year ago, so this isn't some fiction.

Then once you were on the list, people started claiming unrepresented planets for their Senator characters, possibly without consulting the inhabitants.

I absolutely agree. We should be a bit more careful about that sort of thing in the future.

so i posted finally in the rotunda.

And yea, Honoghr joined the Republic as they said, and Jedi Order. Now they want to be isolated again. Surprise, no fun. I don't know what good that does, but there you have it.

IC I have been trying to be more polarizing of a leader, coming out as a more vocal point for the Jedi, but now favor has swung back to the jedi without me having to say much at all. I would have issued an executive pardoned for the Jedi had there been evidence of conviction, but it didn't come to that. Would show me much more pro jedi, and fun to flex more muscle. perhaps the Senate will call a vote of no confidence of that point, and I can finally leave this wretched office.

*walks awkwardly off stage swaying drunkenly as the disenfranchised faction leader that he is. . . .

What can I say, I drink like a fish.

On to pressing Agenda matters, how many people are still lurking around that needed an official RPing of joining of the Senate? Are those the next items on the list. Was there something else people wanted address?
