Not a problem at all! I've already done a set up post for Alyona, I can get her better position after reading your post.

There was enough drama during the deciding of terms that it took RPJ intervention to lay out the foundation of the invasion. That it itself is a sign that this invasion's started off on a bad note. As well - much of the issues(the Verpine government NPCs being RPed by someone as a particular) could always be discussed via PM.

That said, it could simply be that I don't trust invasions to be fun for the people involved - but I don't think this'll end up well on an OOC note regardless as to what faction wins.

The problem, as I understand it, is that a number of individuals within the Republic want a victory at all costs. The Mandalorians just want a good fight. We're using this as a springboard for a Death Watch campaign for our faction and I have two characters that will be undergoing major plot changes shortly after this thread is over. Hell, losing this battle could end up being more fun and interesting than winning it. If Larraq gets taken out here, he gets to go all General Grievous and do the robot body thing with a false identity.

The Mandalorians are doing this because it's fun, drama and all, and because the story makes enough sense for us that we feel we should give it a shot and try to enjoy whatever happens.

Win, lose, draw. Mandalorians just want a fight. From Dromund Kaas to Wayland, all I ever want is a solid 50/50 chance to win and an opponent that takes hits, understands physical limitations, and separates IC from OOC.

Ok. I'll drop a post... probably in a few hours. Rough day IRL.

Truthfully, the Republic's simply tired. They've been on the short end of the invasion stick for almost a dozen of these in a row. It's inevitable that they would view this as something that has to be won - something that can finally reinvigorate the faction's morale(which IMHO hasn't been up since the One Sith gained all that ground).

The story making sense is - arguable. Considering the close ties between the Mandalorian and Republic factions were rather heavily frayed due to OOC issues, not so much as IC, I question the reason for this invasion. Yes, the Mandalorians had a significant presence in Roche per the historical canon we went with, but that canon is hundreds of years past the present - where they've been aligned with the Republic since roughly the Dark Harvest campaign. Thus the logistical issue, from what I can tell. I would've liked to see whatever the IC problem was sorted out so this didn't have to happen - but unfortunately, it did.

As is - I guess we'll see how wrong(or right) this ends up going.

...welp. That's all folks.

... May the gods have mercy on your souls as you are sent to the Nine Hells.

With any luck, you'll get there before [member="Ember Rekali"] gets to you.

You think I'm kidding?

Larraq brought two Mircin Prison Ships.

I'm half a galaxy away, and I still don't feel safe.

You're in the same star system as Ember.

Well this just got real...

Normally I wouldn't have a problem with dead Mandalorians, for obvious reasons, but... yeah... not like this...

Half of my post is written, will post when I get home tonight after work.

Hahahahahahaha!

So true, but... no use for your stuff. Just trying to get it back. I see opportunity to do something good for both the Republic and the Mandalorians. I gotta take a stab at it.
