It is going. I kind of disappeared for a couple weeks myself when Irma hit. But I am back again, and I am going to be trying to keep a fairly regular schedule as much as possible. The Shipyards still has some work to be done, but shouldn't be far off from completion soon-ish™

I am unsure as to what direction I would like the character to go in....I am totally interested in being a Mandalorian, but I can't seem to find where and what I'd like to do...

If you post on either Mandalore, (always seems to be some kind of activity in the 'Baat), or on Concord Dawn, (I will happily interact there with one of my characters), you can get him established in the Universe. Aside from that I'm not sure what direction the MA will be taking.
There are other things a Mando can be doing aside from any official capacity of the MA. Bounty Hunting, Mercenary Work, Bodyguard jobs etc etc... May be some opportunity for RP coming up on Algara II once I get it unarchived.

BE WARNED: There is going to be a MAJOR upheaval in Death Watch. The leadership is going to be COMPLETELY changed and Clan Vizla is going to fall apart. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.

No no the thing is that Death Watch will still be allied to the Mandalorian Assembly but under new leadership.

I will take over Death Watch. We’re gonna have an Order 66 style mutiny that’s gonna wipe out almost all the members of Clan Vizla. I will become the new head, and then things will get back to normal.

Oh look, permission to spot the DW. Y'all might want to go with a different name for the 'rebel' / mutiny side. That way you can avoid the orbital wrath that may be heading your way.

I believe I may have discussed this with Selena once. But what exactly is Death Watch doing exactly? I mean, if it supports the MA, it ceases to be DW, since the DW has always been about opposing the established order. DW is not exactly like the Mandalorian Protectors that are just specially trained Super Commando's...

I’m glad you asked that. Death Watch is (currently) under the leadership of a more level-headed group then before. They aren’t opposing the order. However, the new faction is going to be MUCH more extremist. They will still be loyal to the MA , but only to a certain degree. Eventually the new leadership is going to rid itself of the MA and start roaming the galaxy causing trouble for it (the MA) instead.
And Admy, to answer your concerns, Death Watch itself is still the same organization, just with newer leadership. Instead of having a clan in charge of the outfit, only Kamioxx will be leading the entire thing. The mutiny is going to last a few minutes because everyone in Death Watch will be against the current leadership. There will be a few assasinations Order 66 style (as in with no warning whatsoever happening in the span of a minute or 2). So there is no need for Orbital Wrath.

After much consideration, Ram steps into the thread. He is silent, and waits, watching.

First off, Welcome to the Mando Assembly, Ram.
Ok, back to Sel. You seem to have a fundamental strangeness in your terms. You claim that the DW supports the MA. Except the DW's entire modus operandi is to attack & subvert the general mando population. To put it in more common terms, they are the sith to the mando's jedi. Both are violent, small, & persistent splinter factions that cause constant headaches for the main group. Claiming to be death watch in most mando settings would be like showing up to a holocaust memorial in a Ku Klux Klan robe, & waving a nazi flag. And, no that isn't an exaggeration or hyperbole. If you read up on what the Death Watch actually pulled, both in canon & on JvS. You will find a history of violence, genocide & human rights violations that would bring a happy tear to the eye of Hitler's ghost. The Orbital wrath is because you are Death Watch.
Now, it might be that you are already aware of all this & are fine with it. Either way, you have to be ready to put up with the IC punches that are going to be heading your way based on your choices. If you play a Sith, you expect to fight Jedi. It is just part of the way the story runs. If you want to play DW, you better be prepared to take fire from the people that have been attacked in the past. My Clan, the D'Ordinii, has about as big a grudge against the DW as you can get. So be ready, because here we come.

Ok Admy here’s the thing. Let me try to explain myself better. Think of the New Mandalorian’s (meaning the government headed by Duchess Satine of Kalevala). During that time, Mandalore went against almost all of its ideals and became peaceful, opposing the very idea of being Mandalorian. That’s sort of what Death Watch is going through right now. They currently are lead by people who go against the very idea of being Death Watch. They (specially Sel and her family) are interested in helping the MA to make up for their past (to use your Nazist example, kind of how modern Germany has vowed not to rearm to make up for all the shit the various Reichs did). But the new leadership who will take over after Clan Vizla is ousted will be loyal to the original Death Watch ideal, not the MA (kind of how after Maul killed Pre Vizla, Death Watch was split in half). Currently Death Watch isn’t doing much. But as soon as Clan Vizla is removed, then they will start causing trouble for the Mandalorians. As far as your axe to grind and your orbital wrath is concerned, do it after Clan Vizla is decimated; the new leadership will be looking for a fight And Ram welcome to the cool kids squad XD

That is fine, but the example is flawed as you already stated that pretty much everyone except a few people in leadership still want to be the old style Death Watch. Where the New Mandalorians had the popular support to actually manage some level of change, the Death Watch leadership doesn't. Another important issue is the re-branding. One of the first things the german people did was rename pretty much every major organization that had been tarred by the association of the nazi party (there is a reason they don't call the military the Wehrmacht anymore, despite it literally translates to military). If you keep the old names, you invite people to thing you are a solid continuation of the previous organization, regardless of your actual policies.
As for the timing, the forces in orbit would only just be learning of you, so you would have a bit of time while they verified the data & readied munitions (They aren't military spec, so it won't be nearly as powerful as a fleet could bring to bear). The attack might be a good break point for the new leadership to enforce a return to the old ways. As well as giving the old leadership a better chance of escaping. The attack is going to be massed Orbital kinetic strikes, so it will be lots of damage to structures & a ton of shock & awe, but there will be lots of time for people to escape on everything from vehicles to foot. If the assassinations start, but are interrupted by the attack, that would give Visla a reasonable chance to escape. It would also provide a reason for the wander the galaxy part as the DW holdings on the surface would be wiped clear.

Currently Death Watch isn’t actually called Death Watch (at least not officially). Right now, it’s basically just an extension of Clan Vizla, nothing more. Death Watch will get its original namesake back after Vizla is gone. As far as change is concerned, it was kind of that members of Death Watch wanted to try something new. They don’t like it, but the leadership does, so they are going to mutiny.
As far as your orbital wrath goes, I like your idea, so bring it on.

The traditional term for that would be House Vizla. In much the same way that 'In house' the Infinite Imperium is House D'Ordinii. Traditionally, the way it works is that a larger or more powerful clan gathers up smaller clans & solo members that support the party line in order for mutual support & such. Generally what happens is the smaller clans supply additional manpower or resources in exchanged for having access to the larger clans support/help, & having their interests represented by someone with more clout. Having a secondary call name is also fairly common, as additional examples are House Kryze picking the name New Mandalorians & House Mereel picking the name True Mandalorians. Membership tends to be fairly fluid though, as the smaller clans are expected & often do change Houses when they have conflicts of interest or feel that another clan would represent them better.
Generally speaking (with the exception of Clan Carid, which is explicitly too small to qualify) all the 'clans' on JvS are actually 'houses'. So the term on the site is a little more muddy.
Ram, depends on what you want to do.

Selena VizlaThat could get interesting... depending on where she finds him. Might want to avoid the MandalMotors Hall, assuming you expect to accomplish more than get shot. You've been warned.
