Does JvS need a set timeline? Have your say.

Sadly that won't be the case, due to the fact that people still have the right to chose if a certain event effects their character in some way shape or form. Taking that away kinda ruins the fun of writing your story arcs, because of how differing they may be. That being said, that's not stopping anyone from doing their own thing and others latching onto the idea - for that's what the HNN is for. You write the piece about a certain part of a story you, or whomever, is writing and post it up. People will respond as they see fit.

If you wanted to change things on a site wide level, why not think up an overarching Rp that everyone can join in and have some fun with. I know it's been tried and done before with pitiful results, but if you end up being the driving force behind the RP and stick to your guns - I'm sure it'll change the site in an interesting way.

As a writer who usually sticks to the outskirts of major events going on throughout the galaxy, i think it would be interesting to see something like this happen. I think it could work. Sometimes people lose sight of how big a galaxy can be, even the biggest explosion possible would be a mere blip in the galaxy to those who aren't around. For example, if the Republic controls Coruscant currently and something happens where the events lead to the Empire taking control, my character who is in the middle of nowhere would have no idea this is going on. Hell if events lead to the destruction of Coruscant, my storyline could of eventually lead to Coruscant and all i would find is an asteroid field. Coruscant is just an example, i wouldn't even want to see that go.

It probably wouldn't go well with those who planned a storyline there though. It definitely didn't go well by Ben Kenobi with Alderaan. ''As if millions of planned storylines suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced. I fear something terrible has happened."

There are some major scenarios that could work. Planetary destruction is a bit to much for most. Though It doesn't have to affect the role-players who have no part in the story line, if the Empire started taking control of important planets vital to the war, to someone like me, my character would only have a feeling that the galaxy has become a much more dangerous place to be. Traveling to other places, something that has changed, it would just feel more tense to my character to be there. Same storyline, just more of a tense setting then originally planned. 

I just noticed this thread has been left for more then a month. Has a timeline been discussed further? Would be interesting to see. 

The Whill discussion on this got derailed by the holidays. We should have something solid for you all soon.

I think there is a general agreement on slapping New onto some planets like Alderaan while replacing other destroyed planets with newer ones that could be of greater significance to the universe. However, say that we do slap on 'New' to Alderaan, the planet subforum would have to be moved to the Outer Rim and I suspect some of its internal subforums changed around too.

well yeah. I mean, if the timeline does get the Whill ok though, it will probably be time to get things a little more official. As far as Alderaan's forums are concerned, you could just slap New everything on it

but yeah, perhaps we should come up with a list of places that we'd like to see instead?

Keep the suggestions coming. The Whills have already been working through a list of affected planets to see what the impact would be, but we might have missed one.

Excellent find! *leaves Nicademus an entire box of ice cream sandwiches*
