The Golden Age of the Shell of Darknes (OOC Thread)

[Eeno Wasulyfu]

Made this in case anyone had questions. I'm sent Green Ranger a message because I have no clue why he locked my thread. But it's been two days and he hasn't logged on yet so I just have to wait. If any other mods could tell me what I did wrong that'd be great! Thanks!

 

[Cailst]

He said you didn't really understand what was going on in the overall RP based on some things you stated in your thread.

 

[Eeno Wasulyfu]

Yes, I saw that but I don't know why he said that. I read the whole history and everything, I even went back to some of the old forums. By Rebels, I didn't mean the New Republic, I mean the Galactic Republic that's going on right now in the Hutt War. And Praxeum, it's another name for Jedi temple. They've been around since the beginning of the Jedi, so I don't know what I did wrong, unless I'm mistaken on something.

 

[Cailst]

Rebels? Why would the Republic go by the name of rebels?

 

[Eeno Wasulyfu]

Well it's still rebels, I didn't think it mattered if it had Galactic or New in front of the word, but I guess this site is picky. So if I change that to Republic, it will be reopened?

 

[Jake]

Besides not serving a purpose, the use of "Rebels" in order to describe the New Republic is somewhat inaccurate. They're not rebelling against the Hutt Empire because I don't believe the Hutt Empire is currently in rule. It's just two warring factions.

However, the use of Jedi Praxeum as a synonym for an academy is most certainly correct.

Ah, thank you for clearing that up Nevermore, that makes sense. So can a moderator unlock my RP so I can edit?

I have a question - I didn't quite understand your post.

Were you writing it in the view of a Jedi Master or a Jedi Padawan? If the latter, do you have a profile for him? If the former, did you go through training?

If you have MSN, I'd love to explain this... and I have a few questions of my own.

Yes, Grim can unlock your thread.

I was writing in the view of a Jedi who has completed his training, but his master continues to help him. It's like in Revenge of the Sith, where Skywalker completed his training, but still was under the supervision of Kenobi. I do not have a profile for him, but I will be making one very soon. I have not gone through the training yet, but I have been Roleplaying for years. Though I have not been able to in about 6 months so I might be a little rusty. Sorry don't have an MSN, hm, how about a yahoo account, they have a chat. I'd love to help with any questions you have.

 

[Jake]

I sent you a PM instead.

It appears as though I need to explain some things.

Unless your character has been carried over from another timeline or you're at the beginning of a timeline, your character starts off as a padawan and must be trained from there.

 

[Eeno Wasulyfu]

Hm, but this character is an NPC, he'll only be here for a thread or two. I'm just using him now to setup for my main character.

 

[Jiang Winters]

I think part of the problem with your RP [aside from the boo-boo with using Rebel to describe the Old Republic, which makes the thread appear to be set around the New Jedi Order time period] is that you...

A) Went ahead and created an empire of Dark Jedi, plus crafted a war that had occured in the past. Technically, in this time line, the Dark Jedi have yet to have ever reveal themselves, and the Sith aren't around yet. It'd put a massive dent in the site's canon to have a war between the Dark Jedi and the Jedi have occured at any point in the past. [That's my view on it, anyways. An RP admin would be able to shed more light on this]

B) The only profile of yours that I could find was locked in a hurry, and it was barely even a skeleton. Plus, he was a Jedi Knight; starting off as a Jedi Knight without approval from the Head of the Jedi Order is a no-no here.

 

[Eeno Wasulyfu]

A. So you're saying nothing about the Sith trying to conquer the galaxy has happened yet? On this site there was never the Unification Wars? There was never a Naga Sadow? Or Exar-Kun? No Marka Ragnos or Ludo Kressh? And, if none of this ever happened, the Daragon's would not have found the Sith on Korriban. Which would result in the Sith never finding out about the Republic for tens of thousands more years. If that war never happened and the Sith didn't reveal themselves, the galaxy would be completely different. Also, if the Sith never did anything, the Jedi would have extremely little knowledge of the dark side of the force. And if that happened, the First Great Schism (this is the war I was referring to in my RP) would never have taken place. That would mean nothing bad has ever happened in the history of the Jedi, they have gotten stronger everyday for 23,474 years. There would never be a war for thousands more years. Maybe even tens of thousands of years. The Jedi would be as powerful as they were in 100 ABY. It just makes zero sense.

B. Actually Or-irend is an NPC that I'm going to have for only an RP or two. And I was told I was supposed to make a mini profile for him because he was just an NPC. I don't have to train every NPC I want to use do I? If I want a drink at the bar, I make the bartender hand it to me. I don't have to RP his entire life of how he became a bartender before I'm allowed to make him hand me a cup of jawa juice, correct?

 

[Lt. Beardsly]

A.) Nope, none of that has happened yet. It's 12,979 BBY. The Sith don't meet any Jedi until 6,900 BBY. Then Naga Sadow comes around 5,000 BBY and dies around 4,900 BBY. All of that good stuff.


B.)There's a difference between using an NPC for multiple threads, and a bartender for maybe three posts at most. The reason you would need a profile of any sort for Or-irend is because he would be having a larger impact than an everyday bartender.

 

[Eeno Wasulyfu]

A. No, you're wrong there. Time to test my knowledge, all of that happened in 25,000 BBY. And the First Great Schism took place a few hundred years later.

B. Yes, I understand what you're saying. But Or-irend is not even going to be in this thread that much. He'll be in it for about the first 5-10 pages, then almost completely out in the middle, and will return in the end. So I still have to go through his entire training?

C. I have a question that barely means anything, but I'm just curious. How many pages does a good RP have on this site? Where I came from, a nice RP will get 100 pages before it ends. I've seen one get to 250 pages, but it lasted about 9 months.

 

[Lt. Beardsly]

A.)

24,500 BBY–Xendor and his students leave the Jedi Order in the First Great Schism.
7,000 BBY–A group of Jedi break off from the Order, and pioneer the science of dark-side mutations, starting the Second Great Schism—the war known as the Hundred-Year Darkness. [source?]
6,900 BBY–Exiled after their defeat during the Hundred-Year Darkness, the Dark Jedi arrive on Korriban, where they interbreed with the Sith natives, and form the Sith Empire. Over the millennia, the empire expands to surrounding systems, including Ziost. [source?]
5,000 BBY–Dark Lord of the Sith Naga Sadow is defeated in the Great Hyperspace War, and the Sith Empire collapses ten years later. Sadow flees with his Massassi warriors to Yavin 4. The Sith starship Omen crashed-landed on the planet of Kesh. The survivors of the crash eventually formed the Lost Tribe of Sith. Over thousands of years, this Tribe multiplied into a substantial force. [source?]
4,990 BBY–Final collapse of the Sith Empire, following the defeat of Naga Sadow. [source?] One Dark Lord escapes in the Unknown Regions to rebuild the Empire.

Here's the link if you don't believe me, it's near the top of the Timeline in the History section.

B.) I've typed up two characters for a total of four RolePlaying posts with them. So I'm sure you need a profile typed up for five pages.

C.) Not a clue. I think around 8 from the threads I've read. Depends on what the thread is about, how much people are in it, yada yada.

# 24,500 BBY–Xendor and his students leave the Jedi Order in the First Great Schism.

That's from the article on the sith on wookieepedia. The sith disappear for a very long time until 7,000 bby. As this is taking place near 12,000 bby the sith arent out of hiding. There is however The Dark Jedi of the Bogan, who follow off the teachings of Xendor, that are the RP-force sensative antagonists within the current RP. I lead them, so any questions you may have can be directed to me.

B. Yes, I understand what you're saying. But Or-irend is not even going to be in this thread that much. He'll be in it for about the first 5-10 pages, then almost completely out in the middle, and will return in the end. So I still have to go through his entire training?

Yes, if you wish to RP as a jedi knight you have to flesh out a character profile, go through the training thread and then be knighted before you can do so. Certain exceptions are made, but this must be okay'd by the leader of the faction as has been said before, that would be Ru the Boatswan, so direct any PM's you have to him about this matter.

C. I have a question that barely means anything, but I'm just curious. How many pages does a good RP have on this site? Where I came from, a nice RP will get 100 pages before it ends. I've seen one get to 250 pages, but it lasted about 9 months.

Generally a good sized RP here is anywhere from 10-20 pages, however we usually do have threads that go much longer than this. We usually have what I look at to be Mini-event RP's in which various events with PC character will happen that drives their own personal story forward. Then you have the major even RP's which last significantly longer, and drive the site-wide RP as a whole together. The major and mini event RP's can be inter-related or not at all. The reason this may be shorter than your used to is because this is a very active star wars forum, and thus storylines tend to progress differently than you would on message boards that only get a few posts a day. That faster pace, by what I've observed in my time here means that we have faster paced events on a micro-scale for various player characters.

Hope that helped out :)
