A Really Big Idea for the Whole Site

First off: I'm all for this idea. GALSAF will most certainly be participating, though as per our usual mandate, which is to work only for the "everyman" rather than any particular faction (even an Independent Alliance).
I love this idea, I have since Sin presented it not long ago to many of the faction leaders. This RP will promote a general writing atmosphere that brings back a more controlled version of the OOC/IC uncertainty we had back in 1.0, on Facebook.
It will certainly make logging on a more exciting endeavor all on its own, and hopefully draw more of our writers back into the fold.

Those who will want to remain OUT of this RP should keep in mind that the over IC atmosphere that this story creates on the site will certainly affect your characters and factions, at least in some way. Locking off an entire planetary thread for only Closed RP should be avoided, as it hampers RP on the site as a whole, in small ways. That doesn't mean you ought to expect to have to roll with every punch that comes your way, but avoid isolating yourselves simply for the sake of maintaining control.

Faction leaders should also keep in mind that they will undoubtedly be affected by the actions and alignments their allies make during the course of all this. One Jedi sect standing apart on their own will be able to maintain a semblance of neutrality, yes, but at the same time they WILL be affected by the political and economic happenings of the RP itself. This will not affect strictly closed RP, but as I mentioned before, unless an entire planetary thread is locked away from Open RP, these affects will be seen, so be ready for that.



This is a great idea, Eralam, I'm all for it. Perhaps these planets can be assigned neutrality for the time being? Maybe one of the sparking events of this storyline is major factions (such as the Sith Imperials and the Republic) making land grabs for these areas? Sudden expansion on one side would certainly be a cause for concern and action taken by the other. Consider the land grabs made by the Soviet Union during and after the Second World War, and how nervous this made the Western Powers, specifically the United States.

Other unclaimed planets could be assigned to one side or the other.

Nothing wrong with making sure it's in an orderly fashion. In fact, that's probably the best way to do it.

In the interest of keeping this thread pure, I'll make one about the planet thing later.

Good point Dave, I'm glad you caught what I didn't. So it looks like we'll end up with two different categories of dispersion; those that require assignment to maintain official and JvS canon, and then those that won't.
Makes perfect sense.

Organization, what organization?

As I said, our movements will appear insignificant to the galaxy, so no impact yet.

I won't lie, sometimes I sit and wonder "What does the Organization DO?" and then I consider going and reading your RP's before telling myself "I'll just get lost." lol

So. Like Mandos, but not.

That would be a cool group if they actually gain clout and escape the "endless planning" phase.

Planning is done, now it's just a matter of moving the pieces into place. 

As for working with GALSAF, it was something I had considered in the past but had no reason to IC however I feel that now there is substantial reason to come into contact with you. I will work something out IC and be in touch.
