Merry Christmas: Greetings from the new FO

So, I’ve been staring at a blank page wondering what to write for a while now, so I guess I’ll start with the basics. Hi. Pretty basic right. For those of you who don’t know me, or even those of you who do, I’m Asaraa Vaashe, and for my sins or maybe for yours, I’m your new Faction Owner.

In the last two weeks, I’ve had a lot of people, from both within the faction and outside of it, come up to me, tell me about the power and the great things a faction owner can do. They’re not wrong, the faction owner of a major faction has the ability to touch the board and Chaos history, but, and here’s the big one, only if their writers let them. See, I don’t see a Faction Owner as being a sole source of power, of unquestionable authority in the faction. I have only as much power as you, the writers of the Silver Jedi Order give me, the ultimate arbiters of authority, the true guides of the direction of this faction is now, and has always been yourselves, the amazing group of writers who’ve gathered together to tell the Story of the Jedi Order.

See, I don’t see the Faction Owner as a position of power. I am not, despite my best wishes, a tyrannical dictator. What I am is an administrator. It’s my responsibility and that of my staff team, both the Admin team and the Creative Team, to create a framework for you to write your stories in and to keep things ticking over in the background. So what does that mean, well the honest answer is you tell me. You tell me what stories you want to tell, tell me what you want to see the faction do and how you want to see it change. Nothing can stay the same forever, we always need to be moving forward, and if there’s’ one thing I’ve found in my time with the SJO it’s that this group of writers never fail to keep moving forward together. It is my absolute honour and privilege to have been chosen to oversea this new chapter in the history of this faction we all love.

A massive thanks go out to [member="Stephanie Swail"] for his time as FO. He stepped up to the plate when the SJO were at their weakest, after the move from Voss and since then we’ve thrived and grown, and we will continue to grow. I also want to thank [member="Jyoti Nooran"] for all her hard work on the faction. They’re both left a massive mark, both on the faction and on the board. Looking to the future, I’m happy to announce that the admin team have all agreed to stay on and as you all know we’ve already created a Creative Team to help create and run those storylines that we all enjoy. So going into the new year I plan to come in swinging and show the entire board what an awesome faction we are, but most importantly I want all of you to find in the SJO a home, and a community you enjoy being a part of and writing with. So, as always, if anyone has any thoughts or concerns I’m always happy to hear from you, be it a DM on discord or a message on the site. If anyone wants to get more involved in leadership either IC or OOC feel free to let me know as well.

I hope you all have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year and thank you, each of you for making the SJO the wonderful faction it is now.

The SJO could not be in better hands [member="Asaraa Vaashe"] - I can't wait to see what you have in store for 2019.

Best wishes to you, and to all here, for a very Merry Christmas!
