Jedi Council OOC planning

I can definitely understand why you may have been against centralizing the Jedi Order at one point, Aer. There was a time when Jedi were everywhere practically; an order on Dantooine, Yavin IV, Osarian, Corellia, Coruscant, and Felucia with several Jedi Councils. I also remember a few Jedi Coalitions existing at once, one of them being Corellia. The past times would have been a mess in trying to sort out centralizing the Order. But now, like most other factions, the Jedi are dwindling and now is the best time to centralize with the smaller numbers. Easier to manage through centralization and forming a single Jedi Council instead of many existing at the same time. Exactly what I am trying to do with Malvus in terms of bringing together various Sith, Dark Jedi and generally Dark Side users together to centralize ourselves.

I know that I can offer Crix Stratus's planet of Jabiim as a Jedi Outpost, but I am may drop that in favor of another world (probably one that he can manage in the name of the Jedi Order) or just have him be solely attached to the Order instead of worrying about ruling a planet.

Also, I approve of Stevan's suggestion involving the usage of holo-tech. Not everyone has to be physically present, a holoimage is more than enough to ensure your voice is heard and your presence is noted. I have used holoimaging plenty of times with Malvus and Nicademus, really relieves the stress of actually needing to be somewhere physically.

I don't disagree at all. Of course we need a headquarters. To me, that's very different than "centralization." I just oppose any mandate to withdraw from existing operations and concentrate RP on one single planet.

Perhaps you should read my post again, and you would see what I actually said about the old days and why they don't apply anymore.

I also doubt whether we actually need an IC Jedi Council at this time. We need OOC collaboration, but council meetings can waste a LOT of time and, sometimes, consume a writer's entire RP capacity. Just something to think about. Then again, if council meetings become just a forum for making reports from the field, and not elaborate ceremonies for which everything else stops, maybe it will work fine?

Edit: we've created an IC council for the whole Jedi Order at least 3 times in relatively recent history, and it's never worked, because as soon as the council members become unreachable OOC, the central coordination and collaboration falls apart. We need to avoid that happening this time.

I hate typing on my phone. I'll be back later. :-)

I have an NPC knight stationed on Coruscant but I think he is the only one, so I'm definitely not going to call Coruscant active. The outpost on Naboo is abandoned, and the temple on Arkania was destroyed.

I'm not too sure about a centralised council. I quite like the idea of Luke's New Jedi Order, there was no council there for ages, just discussion and consensus.

We did have good success (albeit short-lived) with a similar model for the Republic Senate: hash things out IC, then announce and summarize them in the Senate. It shopped wokring due to a lack of numbers and availability, I think, more than any flaw in the process itself.
