Day 3 - There is no passion, there is serenity.

[Matev]

DAY 2 - Insignificant next to the potential of the Force

The council was surprised they found themselves all alive again. Maybe the Sith were smarter than they thought. Maybe they were more corrupted than they thought. Maybe it would happen tomorrow. The council chambers, normally full of meditation and peace, was filled with a slight sense of worry.

Master Tvet Slyndar broke in before the worry could turn to dread, "We can recover. We must recover."

"Master, we put two more into stasis today. One was playing with the younglings with their toys when he was taken," replied Master Dark Helmet

"Pretty empress playset", piped in Master Thraellvi'g Gennsan

"What?"

"Knight Vashta Nerada was playing with a pretty empress playset with the younglings and we took him to maybe never return." Master Ilin Draconis responded, "Its sad."

"It is equivalent in sadness when compared to taking Knight Saphelon De'Armetis in his sleep to the chamber" Master gℓιт¢н replied.

"They can be brought back. Knight Kado, our Sword of the Jedi will never return." countered Master Long Yu.

Every Master bowed their head as they contemplated on the loss of the Sword of the Jedi. After learning his true identity, the Order had rallied around him. He was constantly surrounded by guards and everyone followed his plan. He had been smart enough to leave a record of his knowledge before his death to prevent it from being lost forever. But nothing could help the Masters lose the image of their Sword, unable to move after being paralyzed from a toxin, dying from the slow cut of a red lightsaber. And nothing could prevent them from remembering the voice on the recording left behind announcing that the Hand of the Emperor, IEATYOUNGLINGS, promised "there would be more".

Master Marasha Xiloscient broke the silence, "Any word from the front?"

"Can't be going well, one of our fleet's central navs broke them out of hyperspace right in front of Coruscant." Master Arron Caballa reported.

"Our data specialists are reporting they went through countless systems before finally arriving in Coruscant. Comms were hacked, they never arrived at their destination. Clearly sabotage." Master Oobedoob Benubi said purposefully.

"Lets find out where they were orginally headed. It might give us some clues as to this mess and who might have been responsible." Master Ret'brah said as all the Master stood from their chairs to hopefully save the Order and the galaxy.

Somewhere deep within the Jedi Temple, an ancient Sith promise was made. "Two there should be; no more, no less. One to embody power, the other to crave it."

Well Hell.

[warban]

Sigh.... Unblockable kill.

[smooveop]

There is no Akimbo, only unblockable kills

[warban]

Yep. Hand of the emperor blew through two guards.

[Matev]

Unblockable kill, or did we get outfoxed? If the guards got blocked (which we know can happen) there are other explanations....

Ugh, this RNG noise is for the birds, the village's strength is numbers and being able to talk openly...

[ketbra]

The sith seem pretty absurdly powerful.

Busdriving influence, unblockable kills, conversions(?), not to mention the new powers they're about to get and the ones we don't know about.

[Matev]

We can't be sure of all that. Let's not get freaked out by speculation here, we've still got this.

EDIT: Just call me Jedi Master Derp. That's some damn quality narration going on up there.

[mrblarney]

I'm certain that there's gotta be a method to overcoming the Sith's power, this wouldn't be a game otherwise. But we'd best be getting on this quickly, or else this game will just end up spiraling into their corner quicker and quicker. It'll take a lot of effort to remove the Sith from the planets they control, but we can't let them hold on to additional power for too long. Conversely, if we are able to control the remaining planets, they'll need to take effort to take the power away from us. Unfortunately, there's no easy way of handling things - if we're too obvious about taking control of the neutrals or overthrowing the Sith control then they know exactly how to thwart us. And we hardly have the resources to do everything at once; we need to pick our battles carefully.

[warban]

Seeing that our guards can be broken though I think we should simply just all use [lead] tomorrow (This round). We need those planets (obviously) and as it stands the Sith have ignored us completely.

I suspect they have decided that that Sith knights are far more valuable than taking positions in the council as their goals seem to be focused more on the conquest of the planets.

I would suggest we ignore the planets that the Sith have gained and focus on the rest of them since those will be the easier fights.

I suggest every single one of us uses [Lead] and the surviving Council simply picks up the pieces of what ever happens tomorrow.

[warban]

I'm going to support hoth.

[kias]

All of us using lead is pointless as it does not stack. Enough of us should lead that every planet we care to mess with is accounted for, sure, but 10 leads won't get us anywhere. I feel like we are missing a mechanic somewhere and its actually the knights that are super important.

Maybe we are all the mafia and we just don't know it.

[warban]

Sorry. That's correct. I don't expect us to all lead. But At least have enough of us doing it that we have someone on every planet. Our knight guards are kind of pointless if we can't get seering information and I haven't seen much on the pro boards about that so I'm going to assume this sort of thing is being handled quietly?

I'm just annoyed about protection failing our vig. Seems like it's pointless focusing our protection on the jedi if they can get though it.

[smooveop]

I'll be around off and on today. The happenings of this game are troubling. We need to be able to coordinate the village (including ourselves), to be able to contend with the Sith, who seem super powerful at this point. But all attempts at coordination have been met with hostility.

The cats do not wish to be herded. And its going to be hard to maintain any kind of "network head" if we can't guard them effectively.

[Alegis]

The unblockable kill might have been a 1-shot ability. We'll know tomorrow.

The planet thing though isn't too nice. Forgive me if I'm not going to get in the details on the planet invasion if apparently it can be busdriven.

I need somoene else to give me orders now that akimbo is gone :<
