Jedi Council OOC planning

Well, normal is a relative term. I mean, you're normal, as far as Corellians go.

But as far as consolidation goes. I was thinking we could use the 3 council structure to give the Jedi a solid infrastructure. And use it to bolster the ranks of the Jedi. Give people a "place" within the Order. And, beyond that, if we cut back on the number of worlds and academies/praxeums we have, keeping our leaders together makes sense...but only if we don't have PC academy councils.

But, again, it depends on how consolidated we want to get. There are still a few questions that we as an Order need to answer.
Will we pull back everyone to Coruscant?
Do we keep a few Praxeums? How many?
What happens to the worlds we no longer RP on? Can they still be Jedi worlds without a PC Jedi? Will they be in a holding pattern? This could also tie-in to the Cold War concept. We don't need to abandon them, obviously; but the question still remains, what will happen to them if the main Jedi are consolidated to a couple worlds?

I think the planets, and Sin can chime in on this one, that according to the new rules of dominion, the ones we leave behind can still be historically IC Jedi friendly and we can RP on whenev we deem fit, and most (if not all) jedi planets reside inside the Republic which fall under our per view anyway.

The ones we keep, those leaders who are established there can keep RPing there as leaders appointed by the Council to safeguard and lead the enclave. I have sort of ignored the Cold War concept as I have been pretty bogged down, but I am sure we can work it in somehow.

Couple of things.

1. I don't see having people on these councils as divisive since all of them were on Coruscant.

2. I don't see these councils being any more divisive than the current Watchmen or Shadows groups that exist.

3. These councils merely help focus a group towards a certain type of RP, like shadowy missions or diplomacy, or healing, or teaching. I don't think we need them, but if people want to do some RP with them, what is the problem? If you don't want to actually put people on them, we'll just NPC them.

I merely asked if I could mention this as it fits more in line with who Raylia is and what she does. She would be all about tracking down Jedi artifacts and destorying Sith ones. And helping to oversee the training programs at the academies and their use of the accumulated knowledge of the Jedi.


PS. You can call Raylia whatever you want. But not Sin. Never Sin.

It divides the resource (ie writers) we have and at best bogs them down into serving in more sub commitees that boil down to a simple administrative duty (one master covers Watchmen, another Shadows, another Knowledge). We don't have enough masters to create different councils.

i don't think ulterior Councils is the best way to handle all that; consolidated RP and SLs is the point, a greater range of RP in a smaller area. But I've already said this.

It exists. . .but how well is that going? . . .

the dearth of darkside writers is my exact point, not a lot of jedi writers to go around. I know I personally don't enjoy writing both side of the story, not enjoyable.

But i guess you can do whatever you want. It's your toons, it's your experience. I am just trying to do what is right for the JEDI Order.

And I won't disagree with many of the plots are driven by baddies, conflict is story. and you are an amazing storyteller.

But to say the darksiders got this. . .c'mon. I know I don't pretend to run Mandalore, and the Republic. . .actually I do, but I am a figure head for whatever they decide, I just help.

If we were encouraging/assuming the local praxeums would have their own councils, why should we discourage things like the Council of First Knowledge? Sure, we're electing a High Council, but we're all the decision-makers here, we're all cooperative. Of course, that doesn't mean I think just anyone should be able to walk in and claim a spot on these important councils, but I'm not against Sin's character taking up a position if she so chooses.
