That is the way I see it. But the way it seems like we are talking; it sounds like we are moving the Watchmen to become first responders. a unit of first responders. who travel as Jedi Paladins to swiftly strike down with the hammer of righteousness. Could be wrong, but that is the general culture of feeling that I am getting from peeps. just my view.
But a issue we have ran into with the sector assignments is that some sectors are more rife with conflict than others. Forcing Watchmen to serve quiet assignments when they are capable of more.

Oh. I don't care. Have a circle jerk on Coruscant if you like. I was only up in arms because I thought we were regressing back to "lets all sit around and look pretty while we pretend there's no galactic conflict. Yay peace." I am just trying to solidify a Order here, bud. If you don't care, don't weigh in. But I am behind Watchmen as men of action. But I want the ORDER to be behind us operating thussly. And having the Jedi Council on board as well. What is the name of this thread, for the love of the Force!

Investigators are like Detectives. Watchmen are like the thugs with nightsticks. Not according to the structure we have established. I can see that. If this is the direction we want to move, we need to simply ignore the whole 'sector' assignments.

I think you misunderstood....The Watch -does- report to the Council. I didn't mean that we didn't. Of course we are the first line of contact to them, its only natural. What I was saying is that we need a bit of freedom...away from meetings and social events...to do what we do is all. Coruscant is fine, if you want to centralize. I can't say as I will be there much, though....too much to do out in the universe. You can't tell me it is not easy enough for you to operate in split timelines to be present. You know as well as I, how easy it is.

Well, then what the fuck are we arguing about? I am not arguing anything, I am saing Coruscant be the main point of contact? have the lead be on the Council. These decisions have not been made. I am making my argument as to why these are good decisions to make.

holocoms are simple solutions. "Obi wan contacting Oldman Care of the Old Folks Home." or whatev he said.
and we also might be getting Watchmen and Investigators a bit confused. Not to say i don't like Watchmen being Investigators. We just need to make the change official instead of forcing the Order to accept what the Watchmen want to do. Keep in mind, am a Watchmen. I too want to see action. I just want to make sure we are all signed on for what is up.

The Coruscant move has always been the plan. And, as a Watchmen myself, I don't like the idea of being divorced. The purpose of the Watchment is to be the first line up to the Council. The Whistleblowers of the Order. It is a branch of the greater Order, forget you not. Having the Watch lead as a member of the Council, and have be there specific administrative duty-- that sounds like a great idea. Let The Watch Lead continue to be the main point of contact, but have them be a part of the Council. Remember, brohems, the ultimate goal was to solidify the Order-- not splinter it further. But I understand the desire to work quickly and efficiently. Investigators work independently with, again, a central point of contact. Again, assign the head of this a Master on the Council; and have simple holocom reports to them-- this way, it would be extremely simple to have the seperate branches stay in contact-- delegate leadership to single Masters on the Council. Then the Council meets to discuss affairs. Boom. On Coruscant. Yes, Coruscant. But I am not saying raze all the enclaves/academies, I know many of us are protective of our home terfs. But the simple fact remains: We have too many surfing around and not enough Jedi to staff them. Let's look at this idea with an open mind. Again, let's consider the idea of centralizing Headmaster control of fewer academies and enclaves into a single figure head that is on or directly reports to the academic affairs of the Order. I never said everyone move to Coruscant. Just centralize back to it. As was discussed and decided on awhile ago. I am not telling everyone to move to Coruscant. Just have it be the heart of the Order.

And I, too, am a man of action. But action without vision allows for Rogue behavior. We are an Order, gents. Full of alcoholics who don't want to be Jedi, but still. An Order.
And yea, I plan to meet up with Adi on Ryloth. . .or Honoghr. . .wherev the heck he is.

Right, alright. Yavin is scrapped. Where are the Jedi starting off now? My preliminary idea:
Let's move back on to Coruscant like we planned to do, easy and simple transition. Let's start by having a Master's conclave in the temple supposedly recapping the current state of the galaxy (which we can recap/remake/rehash at our convenience now).
Let's restart the branches role call, reassign those Watchmen who have returned, rerecruit the Investigators (which never showed up to be trained), lets rehash and recap the shared understanding of our rankings in our Order (who is what rank, who is up for promotion, and how do we assign Padawans, how much does a Padawan accomplish before becoming worthy of knighthood, etc.); we should also reassess how many Jedi enclaves/temples/academies we have and perhaps explore the ideas of consolidation. We don't know how many we have, how many are coming back and how many Mastets we have to go around.
And, ultimately, let's reopen communication to known to good collaboratively baddies.
Ready, set, thoughts.
