I'm about to officially take the Fel Empire out in one stroke, by decapitating it's leadership.

It was already on the decline anyways, and they all knew it. This is just the IC frosting on the cake.

Our plan for the emergence thread will be like this for the Republic.

Which the Apprentice can detail further in the thread I made.

But essentially, following one of the Thirty-Six Stratagems, we're going to aim on taking out Jedi Councilors and anyone that's a high ranking official. With the mass exodus of Jedi Masters going on at the Republic atm, this only favors us in the long run as there will either be fewer Councilors to fight against or they will be of lower quality than those that left.

I welcome Skirmishes to be started by any member, by the way.

[member="Dark Apprentice"] true, but there are some anti-Jedi sentiments and we should fuel them. What would be a better revenge than taking away all the support they are getting from the Republic and ordinary people? Once they have no one who will stand up for they, they lose. Propaganda would serve us well

Looking at this as a writer (which we should while discussing in this forum), if you want to do a propaganda thing that splinters the Republic, it must be aimed at making the Jedi want to leave the Republic rather than the Republic wanting to kick the Jedi out. The justification for this is because the Republic is nearly 100% Jedi mains. Therefore, sowing discontent against the Jedi within the Republic would be meaningless - as they're alts of Jedi, if they even exist at all, and therefore will likely never do things to impede their own alts.

Even if the Republic had much more non-Jedi mains, such tactics wouldn't work. These people would still be vested in protecting the Republic's blob on the map. Therefore, as soon as we strike, both the non-Jedi and Jedi would put aside differences and join together to fight against us. The only way for this to work is if we pushed them to the point of fighting each other.

Which is a possibility, at least, in the form of the Jedi fighting amongst themselves or a group of zealots attempting to kill Jack Harkness. Jedi Civil War and all.

That said, with the recent splinter group of the Jedi, people can easily help push more Jedi to abandon the Republic. Some of these Jedi are supposedly leaving to distance themselves from the Republic's politics - much like that Latin named blue faction in the galactic east. Therefore, it's much more effective to convince the Jedi to leave the Republic. Divide and conquer, essentially, by reducing the number of people invested in protecting the Republic when we strike.

Going with what I said earlier too, we can easily convince people by using their "selfishness" to leave the Republic with something such as, "You can't have your Jedi save worlds with how the Republic has things set up, with Carn forbidding Jedi from serving in the Republic military or as diplomats. Join the Silver Jedi and we'll allow you to do those things."

Well I am going to help the mando`s, against the republic, to help weaken the rep`s.

 

[Darth Odium]

The Mandalorians want to fight the Republic that is an easy flame to fan. However, to break the republic even with the amazing group I am seeing here. You need to get it to be stretched too thin and then it will begin to fracture. If we could get them to break their accord with the Fringe and fight the Mandos we would be far more able to begin breaking the blue blob. That said I can either begin working on my own plotting or help with someone else's. The later may be more reasonable considering my IC rank.

 

[Darth Veles]

I understand what you're saying, [member="Dark Apprentice"], but I meant the NPC population of the Republic space. Actually, the population of the whole galaxy. I imagine that once we go major, we'll have ships, armies,... generally made out of NPCs. The propaganda might be a good justification for having NPCs voluntarily join us and also to have civilian NPCs fighting for us when the Jedi invade our territory instead of facing rebellions.

[member="Darth Veles"], what about a news Chanel, deicated to evil`s of the jedi

 

[Darth Kentarch]

It seems like our largest obstacle to any of this happening is that the Jedi OOC just want to protect their influence sphere above all else. RP be damned.

 

[Darth Veles]

Maybe, but I think their main strength is in numbers. In the last invasions that led to the fall of the Sith Empire, the Jedi outnumbered the Sith about 4 to 1. Now we have some really good plans and active members, but will that be enough? I guess we'll see our real chances after the first invasion.

It's going to be the obstacle for all factions (Republic is just the first step). There will always be people with an interest to protect their blobs in the map - a desire fueled by the Writer, yet it can easily be explained IC.

 

[sabrina]

who will we ally with?

 

[Darth Odium]

[member="sabrina"]

Allies are tools. Whoever is convenient and can be later destroyed would be my suggestion. However, wherever we are on the map out ally should be someone a fare distance away.

 

[sabrina]

No allies are long term friends, people you can work with, for mutual benefit. As why make the whole galaxy hate you, by betraying the one who trust you, is that not how last sith empire died?
[member="Odium"]

 

[Soeht]

who will we ally with?

Anyone with considerable distance from where we start.

Which I'll say, the Mandalorians, other Sith majors, and CIS will make excellent initial allies.

The Fringe, Protectorate, and Republic should be assumed to be threats, even under the pretense of being allied.

 

[sabrina]

So am I free to help mando`s to muster friendship? [member="Dark Apprentice"]

Yes, though please allow a Voice to join these talks, such as myself or others, since Sabrina is an Apprentice.

Also, as both Sith and a state that wants to conquer the galaxy, allies are first and foremost assets in order to benefit the One Sith.

We will be conquering our allies as soon as it would benefit us to do so.

We might even betray them after they've done a long, hard-fought battle against a mutual enemy to defeat both factions in one strike.

We will make situations where they do a lot of work for our benefit.

We're not going to make alliances for mutual benefit or friendship.

 

[sabrina]

well no worries, I make my talk as way getting mandalore to agree a meeting in neutral space. [member="Dark Apprentice"]
note two threads to go, then going for night hood.

 

[J3C0]

Were Sith, double crossing is the name of the game, against others of course. Not our own members.

 

[sabrina]

So where is our home world?

 

[J3C0]

Our current "homeworld" is Prakith, which is in the middle of the Republic. When we go major we have yet to choose our exact homeworlds, mostly because it will quickly change.

 

[sabrina]

bastion is about to come under, a mando dominion thread.
oh which member should I give, mando`s a com link to ic wise?
