Interest Check: The Order To End All Orders

Imagine this for a moment. A Jedi Order, but not just any Jedi Order. A Jedi Order that can be joined by not just Jedi, but a Jedi that is part of any other Jedi Order. Republic Jedi Order? Silver Jedi Order? Army Of Light? Silent Conclave? Je'daii? Even if some of these may not even exist anymore, I don't think, the point stands. A minor faction with academies across the galaxy, meant to give a place for Jedi to be what they wanna be.

Now imagine... A council. A council, led by a Grandmaster, with pickily chosen Masters from the most trustworthy in the galaxy... Deciding the fate of an order that is dedicated to making the Jedi what they are again. Peacekeepers. Protectors of that peace, of the innocents in this galaxy... And of course, the Sith do bring harm to this galaxy, and cause pain, but many Jedi have lost their way and become nothing but dark side hunters, who know nothing of mercy or compassion, or the chance to redeem. This is a step in the direction to get us back on track.

I don't expect galaxy-wide domination. I don't expect a hundred invasions of the One Sith. What I do expect is a dedicated mission system, roleplaying between Jedi WILL be encouraged! We want you guys to form lasting friendships, lasting bonds through fighting alongside one another. And we will give you the keys to that kingdom by a dedicated mission system where all you have to do is say you want on a list to be given a mission, and you will be paired up with another Jedi who is also on the list, and given a mission, which you can do with as you will in a thread created by you. We will give you basic details... But it is up to you to create the rest and create a story with your fellow Jedi. I may down the road arrange skirmishes with the Sith... Get some serious roleplaying going. I'd love the cooperation of a Sith faction or two to do so. Nothing on the line, just some good old Jedi on Sith action.

Now, titles... Here's where it gets tricky. Council spots, titles, stuff like that... While ANY Jedi can join this new Order... ONLY Jedi that are exclusive to this specific Jedi Order are allowed to have council spots or any sort of titles such as Weaponmaster, or any sort of special rank or position of power that may be bestowed. This allows all the Jedi in the galaxy to be under one united front, no matter what flags they are waving for different Orders, but the council itself is made up of Jedi that are united, with the same goals and the same wish for the direction of the Order.

Seem like an interesting idea? It's been on my mind for quite some time, but I haven't had the time to really get it rolling. Feel free to give your opinions, or even ideas. I appreciate them all.
 
A lot of Jedi RP'ers have this kind of thing as a long-term goal, and steps are being taken, and have been for a while, but it won't happen in any kind of realistic way for a good while yet. Too many IC and OOC obstacles for now.

Also, might want to take out the 'I'm in charge' thing -- probably offputting to your potential member base.
 
No offense old friend [member="Joshua DragonsFlame"] but they sorta got a point.


Make some changes and don't allow yourself to become a tyrant by becoming an "allmighty my word is set in stone, no one can challenge me" type of leader.. and yea, dictator and tyrant is what I am trying to get at I guess. :D
idk tho.. sorta got jumbled thoughts atm.

Obliged.

[member="Mallory Pryde"] Y'mean kinda like the council-less Republic one with only one actual power?
 
[member="Joshua DragonsFlame"]
Do I appear to be a hippy-esque lightsider to you? :p How would I know what the powers-to-be actually are within the republic aligned order if I don't want anything to do with them other than rping with some of their members?

The Je'daii believed in the Balance of Light and Dark and didn't actually really *use* the Force so much as research it :p

I get what you're saying though *shushes and stops being a pain*

Interesting, so the original order were made up of nothing but scholars, librarians, and researchers... nice to know. :D
 
[member="Mallory Pryde"]

Yup the Je'daii was made up of individuals who were transported from all across the Galaxy to Tython through Tho Yor to *Study* the Force. Interesting fact: Tython HAD to have a neutral Force presence; if anyone strayed too strongly to the Light or the Dark it acted out with natural disasters. The Force Wars all but tore it in half! Which is why it amuses me that Jedi historically have always made Temples there >~>;''

My suggestion is that although I'm usually against them, I can't argue with the OS success with an NPC boss. You could have this Order and have the leader an NPC.
Not a bad idea, actually... I honestly could care less who's in charge, as long as they're doing a good job and keeping with the original vision. Even if I'd like to have a hand in it's IC and OOC success.

Yeah, I meant Libby's little project from before, but you know what I mean.

Simple name drops. The Conclave was from my time, so it was just something that came to mind.
 
[member="Joshua DragonsFlame"]

I am Libby :p And my Je'daii Faction was neutral, following the Je'daii's origins as closely as I could :p

[member="Mallory Pryde"]

It is very interesting, I wish more people had been interested in the Je'daii as a Faction - It was something I'd have put my all into :( Sadly only Qae and I were really active, can't have a Faction built on just two people.
 
To clear up some confusions, also... This is an actual Order. Not just an academy or something we have already, but a fully functioning Jedi Order with council, titles, and missions, with it's main perk being all Orders Jedi being welcomed under one roof to serve as one united entity to do our jobs. The galaxy has been split into so many different Jedi Orders as of late, I'd one day like to reunite them into one amazing force to do the Jedi's duty. This is a baby step in that direction.

[member="Kobe Seren"] Oh, I didn't know they got rid of other Kobe. Hi Libby.
 
[member="Joshua DragonsFlame"]

Okay onto some constructive stuff, rather than nitpicking.

Every Jedi Faction that has cropped up has done so to try and unite all of the Jedi under their flag. Unless you're clever about the way you go about this, there will always be splits in the Jedi as an Order - the problem is that there are too many Doctrines that are used across the board: some people want to follow the rigid Old Republic style teachings, others the more lax New Jedi Order philosophy. Some people even mix the two, which doesn't always work.

You'd do better to find your perch and give people a solid reason for joining, rather than just the age old "unification" speech.

I say this to help, not to be an ass!

I hear ya, that wont work for long.. and yea sorta sad since what you claim they were (not saying your wrong) it almost seems to have some potential for growth as more a information faction.
