Republic Capital Location

Because the perpetual fear of cloud breaking is so much fun.
I am going to say because at the time our previous capital fail it was a good choice in locations and quite possibly still had a few additional planets as a buffer.

Oh yes, sooo much fun... [member="vlper"], the simple reason is because it makes for great story. The same reason that Coruscant fell in the first place, which is hilarious that i am learning the Republic was never suppose to or gonna win that one.Torill Holgor said:

[member="Kiskla Grayson"] makes that decision, and no we arent trying to lose anymore. If we had voted the Rebellion path then yes we would be.
VlPER said:
We were considering a major loss at some point yes. Now it is more of a lets go down fighting type of thing. We may still lose and we may not. I am not privy to discussion between Faction Leaders to really know what the plan is.
Only time will tell whether or not the Republic can be redeemed and rise from the ashes. It will be up to more than just what Kiskla wants but the combined efforts or lack of effort from every writer to determine what happens from this point.

It's because roleplayng isn't about winning. I've lost more than my fair share of battles and I can assure you the stories and whatnot that follow it are far better than the satisfaction of winning an imaginary invasion.VlPER said:
In literal terms, the United States back during 1812 knew that the British army was close, but they still didn't move capitols and Washington, D.C. got sacked and burnt down. It takes far more than just a few words on a sheet of paper to move an entire intergalactic administration and public facilities to another location. We also have a strategic advantage to knowing where the enemy will strike next, which is our current capitol.

My honest opinion?
You are correct it is not about winning or losing but about story. Right now I see zero story arcs going between characters. The senate never seemss to agree IC. IDK about OOC.
You have a lot of great writers here with absolutely nothing to do. I think the most fun I had was flight training [member="Corvus Raaf"].
Otherwise it's been boring as the devil here. In addition your members have a lot fo great ideas abouut how to proceed with the faction but it seems a majority of that has been struck down. It almost seems like the Republic wants to lose, and the members here are so inactive.
There is no real plot here legitmately. We could be entering codex submissions for fortresses, establishing alliances, raiding Sith assets between invasions and a horde of other things. I came in here hard charging and trying to stir the place up with my training threads and hop into all of yours.
Truth is you guys just don't pan out at all. It's like the leadership talks to the OS leadership and says wait and we will give you permission to do threads.
Why? Why can't we start our own threads, or have more freedom of character?
The OP looks pretty good guys and they have a few active threads up which I'm going to hop into.
I like you guys, but this is not the place for me. Good luck Happy RPing.

Your Example would be valid, if you added the fact that the only reason the british didn't win the war of 1812 then and there was because of a freak hurricane that created a tornados that destroyed the british army...

We've yet to finish our own war, so neither are comparable in that instance.

When you find yourself in a situation where writers don't agree then the IC agreement is not going to be there especially in a Senate type of situation.
The biggest issue right now is an overall distrust between writers. You can create all of the things you mentioned but if the writers don't get along then it is all for nothing.
The easy thing to do would be do just dump it all in Kiskla's lap and blame her. However that would not only be wrong but kind of shady because it goes back to before she took over the hot seat.
Everyone is encouraged to start their own threads. I have created several myself. However getting other writers to commit is a different story. Even when you can as a said there is some conflict between writers that is not making things very easy.
In hindsight would the rebellion idea have been just what was needed? Maybe it was too refresh things who knows. Do people still want to walk away? Of course some do.
I don't have any answers all I know is I am lost and don't really know where to go from here.

Agreed, without being able to work together or unite the Republic is up the creek without a paddle, which is why it makes me said to see so many people staying close to their friends and not reaching out to RP with anyone they can, or having to actually go outside of those in the faction for help with their stories. Im not saying they shouldn't, but when our own members have to go outside of the faction to get their stories further, and dont look inside it, it makes me sad.Torill Holgor said:
I don’t think it's her fault I think it's just the Republics time to go to the wayside. You said it yourself, I can see by reading these threads there is a lot of discourse between writers here. I had great ideas to revitalize the faction but I get an overall feeling of hostility between writers that has never been addressed.
I can't write under the cloud that seems to hang over this place. It's a place based on rigid rules and character titles and positions when really what it need's is more flexibility, liquidity and more people just saying, "Yes let's try x,y,z and stick with the one that works."
It is clear from just being here a week that the system you guys have is not working. Revamping and rediting a thousand times wont help you if you don’t get writing and make some stories that actually compel people to want to be here.

Great is the angst and infiltration in this thread.
Remember, if we win one invasion against the One Sith they’re reduced to just Coruscant…so it works both ways.
If you have a suggestion about where to relocate, make it, but don't expect it to happen.

Put those ideas forward. Some people may not like them, some may love them, but it at least helps stir the pond's water.
This is the type of attitude that repels me from this place and many others too with all due respect. Put your ideas out but don't expect it to happen.Aurelia Saelari said:

Why not the Hapes, much harder to destroy our manpower there.Aurelia Saelari said:

I believe what she is trying to say is we love recommendations. However things like changing Capital Planets may involve things out of our control such as admin approval from say Tefka who may say no.
Aurelia may be a little rough around the edges in her responses but it is not meant to dishearten people or push them away.
Some things are simple to do and others require a higher level of approval than the faction level.

Compare that to passing a bill in Congress, or achieving consensus on anything. It may be great to you, but may not be the case for anyone else.Silara Varis said:
Just going to go ahead and point out. No Invasion between the One Sith and the Republic was ever predetermined.
Coruscant, Empress Teta, Carida, Alderaan, Alderaan again, were all up in the air until much of the story in the thread was told. No decision was made prior to the invasions beginning. Both faction tried their best in every invasion, the One Sith just ended up winning due to certain factors, not the least of which was activity.
Coruscant was definitely not predetermined as you claim, Memorial. There was simply an overwhelming amount of Sith that popped out because of 5 months of planning and the Republic at the time couldn't handle that volume especially because at the time there was some confusion.
The only time a pre-determined victory was ever suggested was at the beginning of this month, and was subsequently shot down by the Republic in a majority vote, thus it will not happen.
