Attn: Are there any anti Coterie Loyalists?

I think because of this legacies stuff, people thought that was the focal point of the timeline. It's not. The Skywalker thing is an isolated plot. The overall war has very little to do with it. That's a distinction the members really need to make.

I'm really not trying to sound snarky, but the members of the site find the Legacies plot to be the focal point because it's the title of the site. Regardless, I appreciate you explaining that it's an isolated plot. That clears things up. Thanks.

"Legacies" is made up of several plots. The one that people complain about is the Skywalker one, because that name is prominent. But tbh, my favorite part of this is the war/invasion side of it. For me, involvement in Legacies was only a side effect for everything else I was doing for my character. Some of these Legacies plots came to be as a result of people roleplaying things out. It wasn't the overall script before the story was in play. That's the part people don't quite understand. The best way to play a role in something big is to just get involved and have something big come out of it. The main focus has and always will be the war and overall conflict, which is only as good as the members make it. Staff are generally useless in this regard :P

Larik is STILL a loyalist.

Funny. That's how I feel about the planet-killing Empress being used as a PC and not solely a Legacies story tool.

SECTION II: Character Creation

A. Your character is not God, he is not immortal and he is not invincible. He is a mortal being. If he loses his hand it will not grow back. He cannot dodge every attack and he cannot instantly kill people.

What's your point? I don't go toe to toe with people in fights with this char. I sense a lot of hostility completely out of the blue here. Not sure what I did personally to get your panties in a bunch there, bro. =/

Anyway, on topic, I suppose the biggest factor in Pol's decision will be how his meeting with the Empress goes...

I feel absolutely no animosity for you, Sreeya! Im actually very glad to see such an established and respected writer returning. I wish more would.

I just dont like what the Empress has become, which in my opinion is far more than anything that should be allowed for a regular PC, as per the rules. I extremely apprehensive about you continuing writing for her as a PC now that she has extended past a PC and into a story-powered character.

We won't go toe to toe with Andraste either. And since for those two reasons the character in barely touchable, it makes any fair fight between the Imperium and any other faction improbable. Because Andraste can blow up a fleet a lot easier than she can Courscant. And I wouldnt willingly send any Jedi into a thread where they can essentially be instantly killed.

But I'd love to see all your other characters return!

Okay now I see where you're coming from.

Actually, I'm not allowed to have Andraste engage in ANYTHING conflict related. I can only do diplomatic stuff or fun rps with her walking around talking to people. I can't send her into battle, I can't send her into threads where Jedi would be fighting her. The only times that works is if I extensively talk to the other player and it's agreed upon. Case in point, when she was in a thread with the Grandmaster. You think GABA would've done that if I randomly killed the char? No, the way I play Andraste is very much uninvolved in the war as anything other than the person that barks orders. It'd be boring as fuck if a fight consisted of her blowing up a fleet randomly. Things like that have never been allowed, and it never will be.

Any big attacks I do with this character is always a plot point, something that might take out some npcs (no specific number), but NEVER a PC without consent or background info on it.

Please pass this information on to your faction, because we really need to see more Jedi/Sith engagements. Don't be concerned about Andraste ever showing up in a conflict setting, because that's against the rules.

Tac, Andastre can't use those big ticket abilities in threads OUTSIDE of major events pertaining to the plot of the site's story. She can't even pvp because of her powers unless it's a special circumstance and then her power is heavily limited. But from an ic prospective only, shouldn't your Jedi, I don't know, as JEDI being flowing into the Imperium to try and stop her? I mean she is a Sith that is basically on the level of Vitiate, she is a Dark God Queen that's bent on ending all life and has a Sith Horde backing that goal. Maybe it's just me but I thought Jedi stood up against that type of stuff.

I'm glad to hear that. I'll pass it along.

By the way - Ebberla Daw is the ex-Grand Master. (Love you Ruthie♡♥)

Also, how do I go about making my character have ultimate power? Id agree to the terms that you have. They sound pretty nice. Larik is very diplomatic and he doesnt have to fight.

Oh sorry. I must have forgotten what the Jedi stood for, silly me.

We would if her character couldn't just instant kill people besides in reality I don't think any Jedi could just walk all the way to the empress and just attack her. Unless your saying Sith aren't that smart an would allow a Jedi to get anywhere near their empress for the Jedi to attempt to kill. But I don't want to start any beef unless we are eating the beef so let's all play nice

So the census I am hearing from the Jedi's ic peospective is that they are all hiding scared? 10/10 excellent guardians of peace and justice there. Rolling over and playing dead because they are scared of the Sith, instead of rping Selfless protectors and getting to work.

But enough about Jedi FLs coming over to stir the pot instead of taking action icly. Back to the actual topic of this thread, finding out who's on what side.

From the person who opens up saying "well maybe we would if you couldn't insta-kill our characters." =P

For one thing, attacking a character much stronger than yours without a plan is basically asking to be killed instantly. For another, Andraste didn't even do that to Ebberla, when they fought, and as Sreeya has been saying, she can't just do that to other characters. I mean, sure, if you're really too weak to fight her then you're going to have problems, but the same occurs with every other character fighting on this site.

Other than that, the comment saying Jedi should just be flowing into the Imperium and attacking - from an OOC standpoint, it can be difficult to have lots of people active and able to do that, from an IC standpoint, it makes sense that they'd want to consolidate what power base they have at the moment before running in and taking the offensive. Especially because, a lot of the time, if you're attacking an enemy's position or something like that, unless you have overwhelming forces (even then never guaranteed), the enemy has the tactical advantage under the defensive.

I have no doubt that fights on that magnitude will occur eventually, but they aren't necessarily the most feasible now...nor is attacking Andraste, and trying to kill her. Or anything like that. Nor would attacking Andraste directly be necessarily realistic, given the protection she normally has.

All that said, there's one more thing. Y'all need to take a chill pill and relax more, so that your replies don't look snarky/somewhat hostile. There's too much room for things to go wrong and people to get mad if somebody misinterprets something.

What I did was start rping her at age 12 before this timeline started. I was rping her while the last timeline was still going. As an acolyte, I had her lead other acolytes to kill master/crusader level characters. So it was a consistent upward movement and rps of pvps/conquest/training. She was also apprentice to Exodeus since age 12, and we did countless rps for training for that. So at the end of 4 IRL years, she grew and got to this incredibly powerful point. I'm very sure this is possible for anyone that works for multiple years on growing their chars and working with admins on what is plot driving vs. what's just power play. In this case, it worked well because it presented an overall villain. She represents power and suppression, which will piss people off ICly and recognize there's a huge evil threat. I call her the Voldemort of the rp. But other than that, she's not really a playable character.

Furthermore, I fail to see most of these concerns considering the fact that I was gone for a long, long time. Andraste hasn't been rped in AGES, which is exactly what Relent and others brought up. "Why be loyal to her she's not doing anything". So I think you're looking for a scapegoat for not having done much with the Jedi, honestly. This is the first time I've been on the site and posting in many, many months. After inactivity, I posted And The Word Was, which was in April. That's FOUR months ago. Before that, the big thing was Coruscant, which was before the time skip, so it too was ages ago. I fail to see how Andraste is causing such an issue here considering how uninvolved I've been as a player. Within these months, there should've been 0 concern for her doing anything at all.

Sorry if my posted sounded snarky my bad. Anyway the Jedi are fighting you might not realize this but we are training and getting ready for battle don't worry though we do plan on killing all the regular Sith first like yourself than go for the empress which IC is more logical than just going straight through the entire empire figure out where the empress is waste resources in battle the defenses around her than actually battle her with what is left of the order. Not sure if you understand what your asking the order to even attempt to accomplish its not as easy as walking up some random persons home and shooting them died.

H-h-h-hooooold up there.

See what I said up there about trying not to be snarky and hostile or anything??

This is kinda the exact opposite of that. If you think he's being insulting, at least don't stoop to the perceived level. That's how fights start and bad things happen and the admins get annoyed and we get weird pictures of Bac.

Yea my bad I edited the post realizing how rude that sounded I do apologize for the little fight I will let this thread go back to what it was meant to do figuring out who was loyal and stuff
