Jedi Council OOC planning

Like I said, it is the meeting of the masters that is called for, if everyone be welcome, then we will have another Tython. We are even allowing 'new' masters like Monte and Tyor, but that, i believe, is as far as the invite will extend.

OOC is the best way to hash out what will promise to be an arduous IC process, with 8 masters at least already promised to show up-- can you imagine how slow the posts will go as is? Not trying to be tyrranical, just being realistic.

Ray? I think it has been common practice for a long time to at least start new characters at knight, establish themselves, then move up to Master.

Adi did that, Monte is doing that, i think Aer did it, Kel'Al did it, etc.

I think it would be practical to make Ray a highly skilled and experience knight on the verge of Mastery, and we can work on his ascendancy soon after. Just to be fair, and bring a little more context and story to the front a bit more for that character, and for the Jedi Order as whole.

It's not like I am making an effort to limit Masters, I am just trying to limit the meeting to. . .the ones we already have? Makes more sense. Or else everyone will just make new masters and join the clutter.

Also, do we want to take a rollcall of all the active Jedi still on the site ...or is that list going to be too long?

Just fyi Will, Jade has been a master in character for well over four years rl-time by now. (Only mentioning that because you didn't include her in the original list.)

And if you're going by the starting as experienced Knight with new characters, Tyor D'nec is a new character, unless I am mistaken. (This could well be the case.)

I never made Master. Probably would have if I had stuck around long enough...

Oh well. I'll get there eventually. So this thing on Coruscant is Masters only for now?

Raylia was started as a Knight on 1.0. I realize that you have not had the chance to interact with her but she attained Masterhood back then. I was unaware that new writers to the Jedi here were forced to start at the bottom of the ladder regardless of whether they had the experience or not.

I hate to bring up the Sith, but we do not require anyone to start out as acolytes or apprentices in order to make a character with us. If they want to make a Lord, then they are free to do so.

This rule comes off as very strict and a little offputting, considering the work I put into Ray back then at the CoK.

Teehee... nope.

It was never a requirement to start off low, more of a suggestion for better character development, but that's always up to the writer. It's not "we don't want people starting off as Masters"... at least for me it wasn't. It was more "we don't want people playing ridiculous Master characters. Of either alignment." Of the writers involved who are writing these "new Masters," even if there wasn't proof of their Masterhood in the past, I trust the skill level of the writers not to flub it up. You're okay with me, not that you should have to be okay with anyone.

I think if anything it was more to keep the Jedi from having 12 year old masters of the Force.

I'd rather Ray, Tyor, ... was there a third? just be accepted as masters. They are all good writers who know what they're doing.

Don't want to echo Aer and Atton, but I agree.
