Couldn't think of a better title, sorry.

Essentially this thread is to introduce ideas, discuss those ideas, ask questions, and to just communicate with one another. In this thread it doesn't matter either you were a Loyalist or a Separatist, we are all Mandalorians here. As Mandalorians we respect each other.

That means no getting into petty arguments! Whilst constructive debate is perfectly fine and I encourage it, getting into useless arguments won't help anything and it could potentially make matters worse.

Basically what I'm saying here: be mature.

Okay, I'll start things off.

When everything is said and done, and we have a new FL who would you rather see us ally with? The obvious choices would be between the Galactic Alliance and the Empire. Personally, I would say the Empire for several IC reasons but I will wait to see what you have to say before I share them so this opening post isn't to long.

Empire, hands down.

Stable leadership with excellent activity and communication, the Imperium represents a faction the Mandalorians could learn a lot from both OOCly and ICly.

For serious though, I think Empire is the way to go. Yes, they kicked the Mandos out of their home, which is a potential game breaker farther on down the line. But if given the choice between a strong, powerful enemy that has bested us already (Sith/Empire) and a relatively stagnant democracy that hasn't really shown its mettle yet (GA) I think it makes sense for the Mandos to go with the strong ones. They respect strength, after all.

Actually, the Empire didn't kick anyone, they went "jump" and Phil leapt into the air.

Yeah, I'd really love to ally with the Empire for the RP opportunities among it simply making sense.

On the Loyalist side the Galactic Alliance gave them a few planets to hole up in, but what else besides that? In the Civil War what side did they pick? Inaction. Which hurt the Loyalist. As for the Separatist, they've viewed the Galactic Alliance as weak for a while I believe.

It's really a shame that Phil turned down the offer of an alliance long before the Empire ever kicked them out. All of this mess potentially could have been avoided.

It would be interesting to how things would have turned out if he had allied with them indeed.

Get your own damn planets next time then >/

I think the point she was making, Mr. Dinozord, was that - while the planets were nice given the circumstances - what the Mandos really need were military aid/alliance.

Yup, Ralif has it right. The GA did help the Mandalorian Loyalists for sure, but not to the extent they needed for them to be victorious in the Civil War.

Because the Alliance was doing so super fantastic in the war it was already in.

To be fair, Alliance wouldn't have gained a new enemy from allying with Mandos. Empire was already warring them. Mandos would've just been an extra ally.

Their main point that they're talking about is allegiances during the civil war. If we had picked sides during the civil war, that would be two wars we were involved in. That would've been a trainwreck.

How many wars and places are the troops in the US military? It would have been the best choice to AID them because now your about to have ANOTHER enemy to deal with...one that could potentially be more aggressive js

Separatists are allied with Empire, though. They'd be enemies whether or not GA allied with Loyalists.

I'm not saying that the Mandalorians don't have just cause to be upset IC. I'm talking OOC, where our leadership was a complete and utter disaster and we barely had any qualified people to RP in fights in one war front let alone two. Regardless of how your characters react IC, it's simply ridiculous to hold it against the Alliance OOC given that the Jedi are in just as bad shape as the Mandalorians. We just don't make a big scene about it.

/facepalm

The GA has lost pretty much every battle they've been in this timeline. Dividing their resources while already struggling to hold their ground elsewhere would be suicide.

They're not enemies just by virtue of being allied with the Empire, just like the Chiss aren't the enemies of the Alliance at the moment. There have so far been no hostilities between the Alliance and the Separatists, so if we treated them as enemies then it would be us making the aggressive first move. The friend of my enemy does not have to be my enemy.

But by aiding the Mandalorians you could have GAINED an ally to assist in Sith push backs...short termsacrifice = long term payout in this situation

We. Could. Not. Handle. It.

FFS, you need to recognize the fact that it was not that we didn't WANT to. We honestly COULD NOT do it. Our faction has been a completely and utter ****ing disaster for months. We have our own problems to deal with.
