Galactic Republic

And just because we haven't RPed put the fleets and resources, doesn't mean we don't have the resources to compete. We just haven't prioritize putting the resources out there without writers to support it. In theory. They are there. :-P

Rawkill, rest assure of whose side Crom'nen is on, as I have made no secret about: his own. He always has been and always will be.

But that does not make me your enemy. OOC, I support the Republic much more than Crom'nen does IC. Allow me to clarify a few things.

First of all, I am putting on A Jedi on trial. Mahir and I have preplanned this OOC. As far as the crime, "wantonly destroying cities, towns, villages, or any object not warranted by military necessity." Does the capital city of Ryloth count?

Crom'nen also believes that by doing this trial, by securing a conviction, he will have the opportunity to save the Republic and bring it and the Jedi closer together, not further away.

Also, on a personal note, I'm sick of this thing of "the Republic wouldn't help the Jedi during the Mando crisis." Bull shit. My character went and negotiated with the head Mando to convince them to divide their resources so the Jedi would survive. And he spent a month in captivity because of it. Did you know that? I bet not. And... it worked. What did I get in return? When an invasion fleet showed up at Ryloth, I was PMed by the Jedi in charge of the fleet that they were pulling out and that I was on my own, even knowing that I had no IC fleets there, and to bring one in that never existed before would be, for lack of a better term, cheating. OOC, I offered my help to try to see how we could work with the Jedi, and was told to buzz off. We didn't turn our backs on the Jedi. Instead, I was told by certain Jedi players how much better you all were than me, and that you all didn't need me help.

So before you attack us, please understand that while a minority of your faction may have been at fault, it was a vocal minority who informed us that they Jedi didn't need the Republic, that you were better than the Republic, and that we should get in line and do whatever the Jedi say. That's not the way it worked. Jedi were guardians of the Republic, not gods that lorded over it. So I do appreciate ones like Mahir, Will Sontir, and Dav Man'sell who act like we're on the same team, not your slaves to beat and abuse and discard as you see fit.

Before you go on the attack, why don't you pause to listen for a moment? To see our point of view? We want to work with you, not under you, and we're tired of it. So please, have a little faith in us. We are trying. Mahir is also trying to bring us closer together. Let us see this out before you jump to conclusions.

I am really struggling to figure out why the Dressel RP has to be externally impacted at all, especially since it is only a monthly RP being played out. Even if it is played out thussly, the Dresselians should be pissed that the Jedi brought the war to their front yard.

I can assure you that GR will IC come back around toward the Jedi, but the overarching narrative needs to address the IC tension so that we can move forward.

OOC everyone wants to have stronger bonds but the GR and the JO have been floundering in RP and authors. This will help with both of that.

As a national politico and pollster, I get it.

on a microcosmic RP literary stand point, it adds waaay more variables then (I only personally feel) needs to be for a small storyline to be wrapped up in less then a month.

I am not DM for the SL, but I stand by that opinion for the Dressel RP regardless of how anyone feels the GR is handling their JO IC relationship.

I am not going to hide behind new account. Looking to join the senatorial ranks as the Senator from Scipio, a planet that has been affiliated with the republic throughout the clone wars

The first two clauses are superflous as the jedi's relationship is solidified in the Galactic Republic Charter.

go ahead and propose the ranger thing though. Why not.

what I am finding curious about aspects of this . . .dialogue is that I am in the dark about a number of these storylines. If it involves the GR I'd kinda be in the know. Not that I'm opposed to any of it. Just the first I'm hearing about it.

senator from Tralus... or so i would guess

Crom'nen, I appreciate the clarification. For a while, things seemed very vaguely worded and like it was the whole Order and not just a single Jedi that was being accused. I admit I was quick to jump to some conclusions, however, it looks like there has been some good explanation laid out since then, and more than just yourself and Mahir know where we should all be standing with regards to this, especially since this could mean the Jedi Order would be keeping an eye on the trial and need to consider what to do with Mahir in the event he is found guilty.

I think I can safely say that now that we both have our cards laid out on the table, some misunderstandings have been resolved. It saddens me that writers within the Jedi would act in such a way, especially since Crom'nen lended the Jedi aid IC. That said, it's also troubling that a vocal minority are used to represent the majority of Jedi, but I guess Real World problems also plague fictional organizations as well... Hopefully all goes well, and we can actually start working together again.
