A Message to Star Wars: Chaos

[Darth Kentarch]

I pride myself on being a villain, the more people who want to gut me for the horrible stuff I've done to them the better.

What have you done that's actually villainous, or rather more villainous than the other villains on this board?

 

[Darth Carnifex]

What have you done that's actually villainous, or rather more villainous than the other villains on this board?

At least three counts of specicide, murder, forcible transfer of entire populations, enforced disappearance of individuals who spoke out against my tyrannical regime when I was the Emperor of the Old Sith Empire, enslavement of the majority of Alien species in the Old Empire (Slavery is also practiced in the small star-cluster Empire I now rule in the Fringe Confederacy), abduction (Quite a few PCs have been abducted by me, or have had close family members or friends abducted by me), torture, experimentation on sentient beings, forced pregnancy, the wanton destruction of cities, towns, and villages not justified by military or civilian necessity, the execution of prisoners of war, and plenty of others.

The Republic also put out a bounty on my head worth one hundred million credits.

I think at least A two dozen bad guys on this site have the same list of credits.

Again, I ain't targetting ye' mate. 'Least, that's not my intention. In this case, you haven't done anything bad or wrong as far as I'm concerned, not yet and I have doubts you will anytime soon from what I've witnessed so far. It's mostly just the sheer influence you hold that can be taken the wrong way. I'll probably stop commenting on the subject of you being part of the Sith, since I feel I am writing this the wrong way and that it can lead to stupid misunderstandings.

It's not being misunderstood, not by me, and that's what counts in your context. I was just letting you know that I'm aware of how my actions can be perceived and how people can and will react because of my position in the community. I've got a bit of experience in trying to handle it with a soft touch, and I have accepted that allegations against me for being biased are inevitable. I just do my best to not let it affect me, and to restore faith when I can. The Community has a short memory and a quick temper. I'm aware.

I only ask for patience.

My advice to the One Sith members posting in this OOC thread?

It's nothing but trouble. Please do not continue to post here. I can't stop you, but you're only fueling flames that will spread OOC.

Keep it IC, guys.

And let what happens happen.

You'd be surprised.

You'd be surprised.

I'm not. Truly.

 

[Geneviève Lasedri]

Guys, the solution to all your problems lies here. There's like, no drama. And everyone can keep hatin' and we won't give a care about it, because what's to get up in arms about when you don't have a colored blob? Problem solved!

And a little shameless self-promotion.

*throws wrench in thread*

 

[Darth Carnifex]

I'm not. Truly.

Then prepare to be.

Unless you can find those so-called dozens of villains with the same list of crimes.

I recently joined the one sith, like maybe a week ago give or take and I have seen a lot of politicking and complaining going on and while it is above my pay grade to speculate the reasons for such things, I do want to say that I don't see a problem with the galaxy rallying to oppose the OS for IC reasons. And honestly if the faction were to fold or suffer a few major defeats would that really be so bad? Or out of the relm of possibility? Isn't the downfall of nearly every sith predicated on hubris? Vader losing his limbs, Maul losing his life, the emperor being tossed down a chasm? The OS taking the jewel of the republic and attempting expansion from inside the core seems an appropriate act of hubris to beset the eventual downfall and inevitable rise of the Empire. At least it does to me and again I may be way off base considering my realitive new comer status to all this, but I came here to RP with some exceptional writers and read some great stories and so far so good I just hope that experience doesn't get bogged down by OOC issues. I hope that I haven't been too out of place or over my bounds.

Some have a longer memory than others. When the inevitable time comes when it is no longer about "the RP" of invading the One Sith, and more about the systematic removal of them as a Major Faction (and even here it has been suggested under the pretext of it'll inspire other factions to go to war - lol. Really? Kill a faction so other factions can fight? What?)

I have no faction allegiance in this debate. My only thoughts are towards good, decent ettiquette, and mutual respect for all players, not just the ones favoring your faction or "side". Decent ettiquette that I have seen ripped apart in the past and under circumstances remarkably similar to this. Let it happen IC, fine, but don't dare cry foul when it doesn't stop there.

It is the law of politics, war and interactions that if you take things from someone, everyone else gets wary. Coalitions are not anything new. France, Germany, Russia, Britain have all had to deal with them.
The One Sith appears in the galactic core and takes the capital of the Republic. Boom. Of course that’s going to make people nervous, IC and OOC. If the Republic collapses then that’s one less enemy to oppose the One Sith, whilst the One Sith will be more powerful.
Balance of power, people.

If you don’t want to be ganged up against, don’t invade and take people’s capitals. Just sit on the sidelines like the CIS and nuke your own worlds or something.

And since the whole matter of Tefka roleplaying has come up again, let’s reiterate the old mantra.

There is no such thing as a staff faction!

Because everyone has a different idea of who it is, if there is one and why they are so labelled. One staff member is part of the One Sith full time. Surely the Levantines are the real staff faction as we have TWO admins with us. Oh yeah, Levantines are going to conquer you all!
…I don’t think so.

Remember also that the Sith Empire didn’t collapse because they were ‘ganged up on’, but because they thought it would be a corking idea to ‘return to the shadows’ for a few weeks. We’ve seen how that’s worked out.

Except the Bluehawks, but they've been gone for ages!

The True Bluehawks will return soon.

Once again, I'm not talking about IC here. IC, people SHOULD rally against us, because we ARE evil. What I'm talking about is the sort of stuff Tef mentioned in his blog: three simultaneous attacks against the One Sith without their permission. I agree that an epic defeat of the One SIth would be great, in fact, it HAS to be defeated eventually, but defeated easily, with barely any effort?

I'll say it again: this has nothing to do with IC. I do expect to be the target, IC.


Also, let's not be ridiculous here. If we were to defeat the republic in this war, then I think it's fair to say that WE would be the ones ruining the story. The Republic is not going to fall.

 

[Evard L'Rik]

My only problem is when people call these multiple freaking invasions. I don't care that we're getting invaded. IC, we're magnificent. It's the OOC part of invasions that takes a toll on people.

WHO GIVES A DAMN ABOUT YOUR RUSH FOR TERRITORY? THE SITH CAN TAKE IT.

I guarantee that people will be whining about having the same writers staffing two or three different invasions, but that's what's gonna happen. We're not all able to post religiously in every invasion, and many of us in the OS never get a chance to because the invasion threads get spammed by the same four or five devout posters.

Unless somebody has some quarrel with me, that's all.

The problem is that that is the strategy they're going for here from my perspective; simultanious invasions intended to drain the One Sith of characters and thus force them to either make a ton of alts to defend, and perhaps eventually get tired and stop, and thus victory is assured for the attackers,or just outright jump ship and thus victory is assured for the attackers. Unless the One Sith are really disciplined enough to maintain having a bunch of alts throughout their ranks intended to shore up defenses. Maybe you are that squared away.

But the problem is you should never be put in a position where you have to bend over backwards to get a fair shot to begin with. I would further contend that I think there should be a new rule regarding this -- something along the lines of just like player consent must be achieved for death, perhaps a faction should have to do an internal vote on whether or not to be destroyed via roleplay. That would be the fair and right thing to do.
