A Really Big Idea for the Whole Site

Especially not a jawa.

Now is the time to plant seeds.

No, Eralam, not those.

The CSA planets/region of space will be Mando (as the admiral had already started solidifying his control there, & working with the only other RPer out in that area).

And some various story angles as well....

Sadly, no. A lot of people are invested in the war and for my part, I am looking forward to handily kicking their asses off Kuat.

Handily kicking our asses at Kuat? WEll, numbers aside, aren't we supposed to win that battle? We eventually lose at Yavin, but Kuat was supposed to be the turning point for the SIth/Jedi to stop killing eachother long enough to push us back...But AFTER Kuat....Or am I wrong? I'm not usually wrong....

Using the Mando Holy War as a catalase for this RP only works if the MHW progresses properly. As much as I would like to think the whole war can continue even with things on Yavin IV severely stalled, it's just not a reality. Ashrah can't very well write future battles simultaneuously with Yavin because he can't include almost anything ABOUT it in those future timelines.
And he's only one example. I'm stuck in the same rut, where I'm unable to narrate a massive amount of content for Ander's "future timelines in the MHW" because the events on Yavin that will undoubtedly affect those timelines simply hasn't happened yet.

It's like asking me how the rest my day will affect my mood tomorrow: I don't have an answer because the rest of TODAY hasn't happened yet.

So the idea that we can continue the MHW alongside Yavin trips over its own dick. Ossus and Corellia are more minor engagements that were planned to take place at roughly the same time, so those work out.
But others, especially something like Kuat, are more critical. Yavin needs to be furthered, or the MHW will lose it's momentum.

Tying this RP in with the Cold War once we have our butts in gear shouldn't be a problem though. Sin's already outlined how she thinks events ought to transpire, though those suggestions can be modified at need based on the ideas others generate.


And I would still push for a sticky on each affected planet throughout the course of the Cold War that outlines just how that planet has been affected, what they're alignment is, etc and so forth.
It would not be a difficult endeavor, and simply pasting that info all onto the same thread in the Planning Board (or wherever), will severely limit the number of people who come across that information.
Put it out in their face, so when they drop by a planet acfected by the Cold War, they get a quick synopsis of what's going on so they can write according to the standard and atmosphere set.
That's the best way to ensure the Cold War has real lasting affects. If we don't do that , then people will simply trundle along writing however they want to, as they'll be able to effectively ignore most of what's happening, designate their writing as Closed RP and nothing changes. We'll be left writing it all out on our own and probably still be held up by Yavin. ( joking! Much love for you lot. )
