I agree QC, we just need everyone here so we can dicuss it.

well, to be honest I think QC's got some good ideas, me well, I have none except that I think that Tie Interceptors should be the normal imperial navy ship, with Tie Defendors as the elite.

No one has ideas on how to continue on Yavin.

but I've got no real ideas on how to move things along there.
We need some sort of collective direction somewhere.

Maybe we should sstart by welcoming the new comers, and prepering the Jadi for defense, by getting the training to speed up and such.

QC and PD, is the Order still going to leave Yavin?

 

[Quiet_Cool]

Yes, the Jedi are leaving Yavin, but I think it was decided (don't quote me) that they will remain there for a short period of time longer, if for no other reason than because no one else knows where to come home to.
The idea is that enough people are aware of the Jedi to make them a findable target for the Dracuurians. They're trying to protect the children and the future of the Order. They've also concluded already that they are not ready to fight the Dracuurians in all-out war, that they must take other steps to strengthen the Order first.
Here's a basic idea of what I think we need to do:

1) Move the Order. Not as a whole but as smaller parts (as Tynan and Raine have already discussed). Keep them in separate locations, but in contact with one another. That way a single attack cannot maime the Order. It also helps them spread their influence.

2) They need to start bringing the worlds together. We can leave this to the Republic and Solo, but we still have to do it. In order for the two to wage war against the Dracuurians, we'll need to make the Republic forces and the Jedi Order both stronger, hence the collection of the rogue Jedi. The Republic needs to get their worlds to begin building ships in secret, building armies and readying for war. Somewhere, we have to make a point of mentioning all this going down.

3) We need to start consolidating. We've got quite a few stories going around, and that's fine, but too many (mine mostly, lol) seem to be floating around all by themselves. We need things interconnected into one story.

Yeah, I know, I said all the easy things, but still...

Alright everyone. Why don't we come up with a night we can all be here, and hammer this thing out?

I'm clear Tuesday night and Thursday night so far.

Please list days you're able to show.

That's gonna be hard as we all are in diffrent time zpnes.

 

[Paendragon]

I was gonna say a weekend, but the weekend is shot for me.

If you all want to meet without me, let me know what direction you're taking.

 

[Quiet_Cool]

I've got one of those, "It's impossible to tell" type deals going on. I might be on any time, but I can't say there's anytime that I know I'll be here.

[Donsehan]

I don't think I'm very important, but I can be around, tuesdays and thursdays maybe, it depends on school. Weekends most likely.

 

[Paendragon]

Okay, how about this coming week? ANyone?

I fugure we don't all have to be on here at once, just a few of us. Otherwise, we start posting, and then it dies because we have no direction.

We need something.

Or should we just say fuck it and play it by ear?

Can i get a vote?

I say we hould try work out some kind of direction. At least work out where the Jedi will go.

 

[Paendragon]

I agree, O.

I had some general ideas, that I'm pretty sure were voiced already.

I think Yavin should be attacked, and the Jedi scattered.

I've talked with Abraxas about a plotline with Moridin, and Luke. And a way to bring the Sith into this a bit more.

And I have an idea to bring an enemy to the table to make the Dracuurians even stronger . . . but I want to keep that as a surprise for now. You'll just have to trust me that it won't be horrible.

What about everyone else, though?

I feel bad for Doneshan. He's joined us, and we have nothing for him yet.

Yavin attacked? That would give the Jedi more motive to strike back at the Dracuurians. I like that idea.

I'm workingwith QC on a plotline and it'll happen later, it wont effect anyone else.

I do like surprises.

 

[Donsehan]

is it me or did some of the posts in this thread dissapear??

I agree with QC that we should have the Jedi consolidate, forces, and also strengthen up. Potentially we may be able to see a threat right? (maybe not due to far too much Sith interference)

I think the children should be hidden away at an place we can call an acadamy (not necessarily Yavin, or Coruscant, Mykyr for all I know) and have them training with a few of the masters, and we could have them set up an illusion so they would be harder to find. (I know it's not creative, but it makes sense to me)

As for the Rogue Jedi, well no thoughts there, except bringing them back, by putting out "force beacons" to call them back.

 

[Sweetp4u]

still here..

incase anyone wondered.

 

[Orlanth]

I think weshould try to come up with something. Even if it's just thenext thing to happen.

sounds like a good plan

 

[Orlanth]

We want to move the Jedi, we should think of where?

Then we can work towards that.

 

[Donsehan]

well a number of them are going to the unknown, why not move everyone to the unknown regions, and have everyone in space?

 

[Paendragon]

Maybe we could make this kinda like a second Jedi purge? Have the Dracuurians sending out hunting parites specifically after the Jedi.

If that's the case, then we'd have two options. Use many 'bases' for the Jedi . . . kind of like 'cells' . . . or keep them mobile, maybe ship-based.

There are problems with both, so lets think it out.

Scattering the Jedi could weaken them, and disorganise them. Their not able to fight as an organised group in that way.

Having them on a ship would essentially take away their prime advantage (I'd rather have a hundred Jedi on the ground wielding lightsabers, than stuck on a cruiser firing weapons),

Unless anyone can think of another option? I'm all ears.

How about we combine the 2 in order to eliminate the problems.

Have mulltible Jedi hideouts but keep rotating between each hideout byuseof the Jedi Fleet.

The hdeouts could mostly be in the unkow regions.

That works, rotating bases isn't bad.

If we keep the Jedi in space, on ships, they all wouldn't be stuck in cruisers, they'd have to have fighters, so there would definitely be a semi jedi snubfighter fleet, with jedi on a cruiser, of some sort, hopefully with guns. The presence of so many jedi, would actually keep them in good shape, supposing they learn to work together. Obviously there will be casualties, but there are always casualties. just my thought about what would happen if they were in space.

Hey...

'Sup, gentleman (and lady--unless Arc's around, then ladies...).
Sorry about the absence. My link hasn't worked since the board went down for whatever server overhaul or upgrade or whatever. I kept checking that bookmark and getting the notice that the board was down till yesterday, when I lucked out and clicked the "Bulletin Board" link from the main site and found the board up and running, me feeling foolish. New bookmark, BB access. And I'm back.
Anyway, I think we're actually moving fairly well forward. I figure it makes sense what we're discussing, but we need to open up a bit on a few things that're going on. Not everything; some surprises can be a lot of fun. I know a few things that some of you don't and I think it works better without the knowledge.
First thing's first, we need to find out how we're going to work Donsehan into things. His introduction has been interesting, we just need to finish it (I am thinking of Donsehan, yes? WHo landed on Yavin and was all happy and shit?). We'll need to work a few things out with him, something that defines him within the story's context. Once that's done, getting him more involved will be easy, I think. It will also change some of our ideas once we have another regular among us to bounce plot twists off of and through and around.
Here're my thoughts on the Yavin attack. If we plan on going through with that, we should probably have the children already gone by then, simply because with the numbers against them, the chances that many of the children will survive aren't good. Also, we should consider the depleted number of Jedi we're working with here, and that we can't really have too many of them die off. A few, perhaps, but not all. ANd the ones who do will almost definitely have to be NPCs we've hardly mentioned, or haven't at all.
We also should probably bring a list of the charcters and figure out where they are right now. Might sound excessive, but it might give us the basic idea of what we can and cannot do next. I have Leroy Calrissian and General Beegas, who can bother be involved (and lost) in the battle at Yavin. It would give us the chance to give them a send off and get rid of some unnecessary baggage before we head into the next thread. I've got characters everywhere. It's about time some of them did their part and got out of the way. Those two aren't doing anything at all, right now, and in the past, they haven't done much either. A nice sendoff would work miracles, and give us the chance to put some names to the seriousness of the attack. People the Order and the Republic would know.
I also plan on bringing Nurrell in somewhere before this thread ends. I want him and the Queen to become big players in the next one, once we get the real war under way.
Just giving some basics there. Sorry for being long-winded.

Hiya QC, welcome back to the madness


Ab still around? Yeah, I know if I just scrolled through I'd know that question, but im being lazy

I really think it would be good to round up everyone, figure out where they are. I like QC's ideas as well as everyone elses.

Surely there is a planet some where? made up or in SW's realm we can relocate the Jedi order to? I am not current on everything discussed but seems to me they'd have to band together (even into smaller groups) in order to win a battle again the enemy. the draccurians (spelling?) might be big n bad assed, but I cant see the Jedi with all their powers unable to protect themselves or maybe a single unknown planet? Just random thoughts off the top of my head
