As long as the Exchange can get Twi'lek slaves, then, we are all good.

Well, there's a difference between pre-planning the entirety of the RPs, and having a direction in mind. TBH, Crom'nen seems to me to be in too much of a responsible position, and through him, you as a writer OOC, to not occasionally decide to push the character in a different direction for the sake of the wider Republic RP team. But it's your char, so it's all your decision to make.

By the way, we're still waiting on what's-his-face in the Military committee, and that's tied up several important characters. Are we adjourning that or doing something?

I think skip him. It's been... at least a month, right? With no dialogue whatsoever, OOC or IC? I think it only fair to just retcon him as having never happened.

Ok, so I forgot to do it last week when I said. Whoops. None the less, Military committee rebooted, and Georj is present now.

I can't get a post up tonight, and it might be Saturday before I can back on, so if you need to assume that Darma is out for quick restroom break or something go ahead.

it's alright, things have at least started moving again. Waiting until Saturday for you when we know you're coming is nothing compared to waiting a month for someone who never appears ever again. I'm sure we can natter back and forth until then.

So, how is everyone? Good I hope. Did all of the Americans enjoy the extra hour of sleep?
Seriously, where has everyone gone? How much longer is the Yavin RP going to take? How long do we go without regular posting before we discuss whether the Republic is necessary or if the Jedi should act as Grand Moffs of their worlds? I hate to say it, my friends, but our faction seems to be dying, and I, for one, find that frustrating.

Now someone else knows what I felt after the first few months of this factions founding. If I may make a suggestion, don't worry about the Yavin Rp. That will take a considerable amount of time to complete. If it has become so integral to the continuation of the general story arc, leave theending open and move on. Assume the worst and continue elsewhere. Short on writers? Start recruitng and asking around for alts. I know as soon as The Kind dies, I will be writing a soldier for the Republic.

Indeed. Yavin's self-contained Siege Microcosm is... well, self contained. I know it's been slow going, but the progress of Yavin is actually set, has always been set, and until a specific point, doesn't include anyone outside of Yavin's writers and the Mandos that are writing there, so you can start writing accordingly. Namely, Yavin stays under siege for at least a few IC months, the Jedi start organising occasional supply runs through the blockade to the surface, and everyone gets on with fighting the Mandalorians everywhere else that they attacl. Yavin's Jedi tend to look after themselves for those few months, and then eventually, I'll get everyone talking on the big push that breaks the blockade, which will include Republic and everyone else. But until that point, carry on under the assumption Yavin is still under a very, very long blockade, but that the Republic has Mandos to worry about elsewhere.
We can start by having the Republic react to Ossus, which is going to happen in some fashion or another. There, the Mandos have targeted more than just the Jedi, they've targeted the native Ysanna. That can be the next thing we react to, and it comes a short while after the Yavin blockade begins.

The only reason I bring up Yavin is not for the characters tied up, but the players. Many people who write both Senators and Jedi say "I'll be active again once Yavin's done." Whether or not the siege would tie up Republic resources, it has affected OOC resources.

That's... that's really neither true nor fair. As far as I can see, only myself and Will actively have Senators and other characters that are involved in Yavin. I'm still posting with my senator, and Will's busy for other reasons not at all related to the Yavin RP. Jago's Senator essentially never started, save for a passing RP with yourself, and that's nothing to do with Jago being on Yavin, and everything to do with some of the stuff he was dealing with himself.
People keep using Yavin as an excuse, and I'm telling you right now that that is just blaming Yavin for something that Yavin has nothing at all to do with. And, tbh, it's really starting to be a little bit irritating.

Realize when people speak of Yavin, we mean the battle not the Jedi RPers. Yavin Battle is holding people up whether you want to believe it or not. You're not just tying up your side, you're tying up the Mando writers who don't want to stretch themselves thin by sending alts and NPC's to kick off or participate in other battles (like Kuat, or Ossus, or Carida). Then there is Rob's assertion that Kuat (which hasn't even happened) isn't the last battle, it's just the turning point. Meaning we have more battles to plan. The rate at which Yavin has progressed on both sides has sapped enthusiasm and support to continuing this particular storyline for lots of people. This battle kicked off on January 14th. Subtract 4 months for the site being down. You've been sitting on this for 6 months. You're on day 2 of the siege. It's supposed to last months? Are you planning on time skipping? We get your frustration with trying to manage the battle with the site change and prodding people to post, honestly if people stop posting, drop them. Post smaller, post to keep it moving. It doesn't have to be prefect but all sides are hemorrhaging writers who are frustrated with the mess. Someone needs to start kicking some butts or you need to examine your options for dropping the siege and blockade. What's more important, the prelaid plan that isn't working or salvaging something of it and being flexible enough to know that the best laid plans don't always work? Perhaps having a set timeline will help alleviate this. I have started one. Feed me information to include it so we can plan our stuff around yours accordingly. jedivsith.boards.net/thread/1928/mandalorian-war-timeline |

The matter of Mando writers on Yavin, I'm dealing with that now. Expect something from Andi and I tonight. It's still not at all fair to blame that on the Yavin RP, because... well, In short, the prelaid plan should and would be working if people were actually following it. Instead, people have ignored a thousand times over what Andi and I were saying. So I still disagree emphatically on blaming the Yavin RP. People are using it as a crutch for everything
and it is categorically wrong to do so. The RP is sound. The plan is sound. The issue is how people are choosing to play their part.
(None the less, it is also safe to say that Yavin is still not an acceptable excuse for anyone involved in the Republic senate side of things. Only Will and I are entitled to that excuse, and frankly, we're not using it.)
Like I said, getting to the whole Mandos on Yavin thing; Andi and I will address that later.

Sorry guys, been busy and haven't gotten around to this account. Kind of actually forgot about it.
I'll have a post up Crom; a holo-message. for him to view of Argos' proposal to the Republic and to get a senate seat.

I have to say that yes, that I am not using Yavin as an excuse-- just everything else.
As Chancellor, there is a certain and innate expectation that I am in charge of everything. But the discussion on this thread, if you go far back enough, that I took the post quite reluctantly and only as support to the Republic. And a big reason me and Dav as primarily Jedi writers is because we believed in the Republic and the need for a non Forcie government entity, and because the general site population said they wanted it. We provided the support, the characters, and the institutional leadership that was asked for.
We are still here, albeit much of our focus is pulled into other endeavors, but I will refer to my previous statement: I am committed to you and this body and if you need to be post something that helps an idea of yours-- let me know! I have been to help, here to help. Just let me know how.
That being said, I am also not trying to jump into any lengthy storylines. But if an exchange with the Chancellor, a rep from Mon Cal, someone of import, a security, etc. That's the kind of support I am looking to give at this moment.
And, to be fair Dav, the Mando War is pulling a lot of attention. But it isn't to be unexpected, it is just taking forever. I know I am not giving things my all and putting what little energy I have into Dressel-->Carida--> that leads into Yavin.
