What I'm Seeing, What I'm Suggesting

Okay, so, taking stock of the FO board and the skype room... Where'd everyone go? No one talks, no one writes, no one cuddles anymore... We're slowing down!

Sure, our faction is based off the new movie and is, therefore, brand new, but arguably we're based off ye olde Empire which means we're just as venerable as the Republic. Maybe not as nutty, but still just as venerable.

So... Since we're slowing down, I've some thoughts here. Now bear with me, I know this is gonna sound obvious, but it needs saying.

Let's Be the Bad Guys
TFA-10.2.gif
Now, with that said, how do we become the bad guys?

Well, the First Order was hell bent on finding and destroying Luke Skywalker to the point where they would hit anything and everything with even alleged connection to the map with a spaceship-sized sledgehammer. Now, while we're not exactly going around trying to find the Last Jedi like in the movies (Buggers breed like crazy here), we can definitely do our best to combat them, kick them around IC, take all their toys, and generally do our best to extend our rule to the far reaches of the galaxy.

So, here's what I suggest we do:

Step 1 - Bash out the dominion of Vassek as well we can as fast as we can. That adds a planet to our number and gets us a bit of momentum.

Step 2 - Hit up the Galactic Alliance and discuss an invasion. Yeah, I know, I used the I-word. I said invasion. Why? Well, I know we have the Resistance we're fighting, but this gives them the ability to combat us with the support of or in the support of a major faction. It also gives us plenty of experience as a faction and can even get us rolling. I have suspicions that this group operates kiiinda like how the Mandos and Sith have in the past on an OOC sense: people get bored with dominions and skirmishes. An invasion gives juuuust enough of a gamble and juuuuust enough of a good fight that it immediately gets people's attention. So... Its worth a shot. We risk having another major faction kick our teeth in... buuuut if we don't boost activity levels we run the risk of being Recalled. Seems like a valid course of action to me.

Step 3 - Now, this is completely interchangeable with Step 2 and they can be swapped around, but for this it's just finishing up Vassek... and then snapping up another planet. Basic, simple, straight to the point.

Step 4 - ???

Step 5 - Profit.

I didn't get tagged but ny two cents anyway. I never went anywhere, been in every thread it made sense for my character to be in. Plus one or two that maybe didn't.

Even had to try and work around my character not having a place in the First Order to begin with.

Invasions are a great idea if you want to go in knowing you are going to lose.

More to follow when not trying to post on a phone.
 
We have our crew of active members, but you are correct, things have been slow over the past two weeks or so.

Aram has been on LOA, which hasn't helped. And I've been present, but somewhat preoccupied with school work. In any case, I'm not out to make excuses. You're absolutely right, we need to pick up the pace. And we will! We've had a lull in activity before, but we always bounce back. All we need to do is find the drive again with some new threads, and I like your ideas.

Vassek is moving slowly, so we need to push that as much as possible. In the meantime, we can absolutely approach the GA with an invasion. I say it's high time we invaded them, actually. We certainly have good reason to. From an IC standpoint, they have been outright belligerent towards us and have even attacked us unprovoked. We're supposed to be the bad guys... isn't that our job? :p

Once I start the FO Ball thread, that will also give us another active thread to write in.

Also, regarding Skype, what is your username [member="Evangeline Ovmar"]? I'll start frequenting the chat again. Just so I know who I'm talking to...

Well I have newly arrived to this Site and am eager to be so active that you'll have to tell me to slow down. Since I am new and still trying to get into the sandbox with all the other cool kids, I'm down for whatever needs to be down. :)

One final note, talking with a couple of writers here and they tell me to get involved with Dominions so are there any active Dominions we are doing. My mind us eager to write and my fingers eager to make it happen. Again, :)

Also, PM me and we can get added to the Skype Chat too, please.

I've probably been a little passive with OK-3103 and Kriel - so I'll look to stir up some more interaction and a Knights of Ren mission is top of the list :)
 
[member="Clovis Torcularis"] We will also soon have the FO military ball thread for everyone to participate. I'm going to start the thread tomorrow morning. I wanted to have it up earlier this week, but this has been midterm week for me. As such I've been buried in essays, essays, essays.
