Alright as the time for the skip looms closer there are a few things.

the republic forum should be getting a deep cleaning and a rebuild when the site goes down this will open more areas and offices for IC use of the secretaries and the likes, as well as a few other things.


San and I STILL need to work ont he maps alittle more, but when thats done Im wanting to get the higher ups on msn jointly to go over the buildup on the borders and where were going to put alot of the rocks and decommissioned scrap ( as I've already mentioned forcing fights to happen before the intended target worlds to force the Hutt momentum to slow to a halt )

also promotions/demotions what not will be nice to compare notes, I'd love to have the roster spots filled up and fixed up ^_^

few things to wrap up icly

When will the Galactic Senate start seeing more activity?

sooner than later I hope. Major thing I'm running into atm is things for the senate to do outside of their personnel stories. Thankfully though I need to " be present" for them, does not mean I have to be the one initiating them.

truth be told right now there is nothing stopping them from putting together a thread on their own to fight over:


  • the now loosened trade embargo,
  • The crime groups taking advantage of said lifting of embargo
  • the cease fire under CARD's influences
  • the Civil unrest around the republic
  • probes into the Ando prime disaster
  • any other number of senate " sounding" things, such as budget falls, or the cost of replacing most of the Navy, ETC ETC
I believe though they are " on recess " over the break.

I've wanted to start a few Senate debates, since I love political RPing, but I haven't had the slightest idea where to start. Lifting the Trade Embargo, for example. I know its got to be done, but no idea what to say to bring up the argument in the Senate, especially since my character would argue against lifting the embargo.

the embargo was lifted by executive order of mohatu before he got deep fried, so it's a done deal, though there would be the potential for alot of back room deals with less than sunny dealers that some worlds are going to and others are not, this also goes into the problems with the crime syndicates being able to capitalize for smuggling operations ( as covered in both a SOLAG, and Republic Navy mission) we have problems there.

aka their fall outs of things opening up VS the rewards etc.

What about the republic military training threads? Aside from just my own, I believe there are one or two other in limbo or not even started. Are we just going to trash the training threads once the jump occurs or figure out something else?

I'd rather not trash the military training threads. They are a fantastic way to do "actual" training exercises in preparation for the MT battles that really make a difference. Instead, I would suggest that these training threads have what they have now, with the addition of a "player-vs-player" aspect, where two or more people act as opposing commanders and have virtual objectives to fulfill with what resources are handed to them at start.

only thing wrong with the sim rooms is nobody is actively seeking out others to play along with them ( least to my knowledge)

I've made it clear with those that anyone " even a jedi character" can be invited in for a story based team rp that meets the scenario, or go pvp where someone takes on the enemy.

Pm zen, pm Will, pm sreeya, or Ru...... whoever you wanna play against. Thats up to you. While I WILL be reading them, I can't be expected to run EVERY sim ( I could do more now too but There is alot more going on behind the scenes than is let on on my end right now )

so yeah what Samu there suggested is built into it as is as an "option" and yes in a pvp setting both parties still earn merit. at the core we care about seeing the development of tactical and critical thinking, resource management, and adaptive rp abilities. I dont care if you take on the roll of " the bad guys" in a scenario and win,

nobody is getting punished if a sim fails as well.. reward comes with success, failure just means you as a player know where to brush up.

I think part of why it isn't happening is due to this possibility not being made clear. I honestly didn't know that people can take up the OpFor of the given scenarios, for instance. I'd be glad to give it a whirl with someone.

oh If I need to re-word things I would be more than happy too.... and I really want to get around and adding more scenarios too. Just for the pvp fun of it, I added a good old fashioned X-wing style " ironman/dog fight" sim for fighters.

With Gabriel Djibril deciding to return to the Republic (though he'll switch back to the Hutts after the microjump), I'm in for a Senate meeting. Maybe we can get around to the Senate hearing in regards to the Battle of Ando Prime.

utterly up to you guys.. major major thing the republic senate, and some of the other groups can really work on is taking initiative.. asking when need be, yes.. but for the most part..... the senate can pretty much call a session anytime there is something in the galaxy worth bitching about.

For the Senate committee review of the Battle of Ando Prime, I'd like two to four others join in. Any volunteers?

I volunteer with Korembeck, Senator of Kashyyyk.

And as for the training sims, I guess I was a bit confused. I thought you (Adena) were going to be running it or finding someone to run it, I even asked Will to help out but he was much too busy. I will try to find someone with time to spare willing to npc opposite me.

Is this going to be a forum where Tsar and others are ICly called forward to answer for what went down? Or will this lead to the pc questioning?

This will be where Tsar and the others are ICly called foward to answer for what happened, and maybe talk about other battles, such as Bothuwai
