Clan Ideas & Suggestions

[Kiro]

And don't call me hut'uun again. To insult ones brother is a grievous insult. Try to look at something from a broader viewpoint before throwing out insults.

I wasn't insulting you. I was just making a point of the viewpoint of the Mandalorians as a culture. Ba'slan shev'la is a whole different matter. You don't hide who you are when you go DO wipe out your enemies in that ambush. Mandalores in the past have been known to let there be a single survivor to tell the tale of how the Mandalorians slaughtered a much greater force.

Nor am I saying that stealth isn't a valid option. But terrorism is a whole different bag of ethics and tricks. But, as Corden says, a rogue Death Watch element doing it, sure. Or a splinter faction of a minor Clan. But for all of the Mandalorians to approve of it? No. Not as far as I am concerned at any rate.

(And Ba'slan Shev'la is as much a survival mechanism than anything else.)

Once again. Not terrorism. And the best warrior isn't the one whO runs in guns blazing, and get shot. The best warrior whittles his opponent down, killing him slowly, making everyone see how he had been planning it the whole time. It's a game of chess, and the person who wins isn't necessarily the person who plays the game better, but the person who can read his opponent and defeat him slowly and with great cunning.

 

[Dmitri]

Let's not go insulting people as if you're/they're Mandalorians. You write Mandalorians, you aren't Mandalorians in real life. You can plan out what to do that Mandalorians would do, but no point in arguing as if someone kicked your dog or insulted your honor.

 

[Apollyon]

Everyone chill out I have an idea that I am clearing everything through Vencu and rest assured the Mandalorians will have some fun :)

 

[Vencu]

As Kiro has stated many times in this thread and in several others, no action will be taken against the GA until I say so. That rules out the shipyard mission. It's not like we have a shortage of good starships. Ours are some of the most heavily armed and armored in the galaxy.


As for the other mission, you have my full support... a Death Watch element is planning to detonate a bomb on Nar Shaddaa and frame the Mandalorians. Catching wind of this operation, a Mandalorian strike team has been sent in to eliminate the threat, defuse the bomb, and recover the explosives.

 

[Sisk_Renelo]

Works for me. I volunteer my services for the Strike team.

 

[Vencu]

If a lot of people want to participate in this mission, you could always split it up into two threads and say there are two bombs instead of one and thus two strike teams must be sent to defuse them simultaneously.

 

[Sisk_Renelo]

Is there any chance that if a lot of people do, I could lead one of the strike teams?

 

[Vencu]

That's up to your clan leader.

 

[Lupe]

Is there any chance that if a lot of people do, I could lead one of the strike teams?

Yes, you made the mission you should be able to lead it

 

[Sisk_Renelo]

Yes, you made the mission you should be able to lead it

Sweet, So do I need to post a signup thread for it or what?

Your newest unit of Force Users is going to need to be taken out, unless you worked out something with Corden already. We've said multiple times that Force use is frowned upon, and a whole unit focusing on such wouldn't be allowed.

Nothing against you guys, but I second this. Vencu has stated his outright opposition of such a unit openly and privately with me. The mandos have NEVER taught to use the force to ANYONE and view it as dishonorable...please as Mars said take this down. Thank you

 

[Crim]

We got permission a while ago.

I have personally talked to Vencu about this and it has been approved, even before I made Solus.

Things change my friend, but then again these force users are Mandalorian not Jedi. They use the armor, speak the language, answer the call, raise children, respect family, and are combat ready. They do not use the Force as a crutch but as a tool just like a blaster, in fact they don't even use lightsabers unless they find one.

 

[Mars]

I don't support this, but if you got approval from Vencu, then that's that. I'll speak with him.

 

[Kiro]

I agree with Mars and A'den. Force Sensetive Mandos are iffy enough, let alone an organization of the same. It's downright un-Mando.

Mandalorians have never, ever, made any kind of seperation between race or gender, or even clan and rank. Now you show up and want to make a group that's DESIGNED around exactly that? Those Mandalorians that are unlucky enough to have been born with Force Sensetivity? What's next? Should we make exclusive units for Rodian Mandos? For Mandos with black hair? For Mandos that like to dance the can-can?

I'm sorry if this sounds snappy and angry, but I haven't slept much, and I was mostly trying to get a point across. Mandalorians are Mandalorians. You don't need any other distinction than that. A Mandalorian Verd is all you need to be, ever. Forget the kriffing Force.

(And yes, I'd remove all the cliques and special groups if I had my way, like the ARCs and the Ironfists (no offense to Mars or A'den), before you make a comment about that.)


EDIT: If you have Corden's support, then fine, then that's that, as Mars put it. But I still think it's a bad idea.

Aye, you all seem to be getting the wrong impression I will have to go back and edit it to make it more clear. They are just Mandalorian Verd like anyother who have an extra weapon in the arsenal. They are not jedi they are Mandalorians. They aren't meant to be Jedi equals simply a mandalorian with an extra tool. Like the ARC and Ironfists. The Force Users of Clan Solus are not meant to use the Force as a crutch but as a tool just like a blaster rifle would be used. They are not meant to be separate, it was my mistake for not clearing that with Old Spice, but I will go back and make necessary edits

 

[Crim]

I tried making that clear in the beliefs thread, but it was apparently still too vague. Read rule 4 of the code. Had I wanted this separate, I would make an indie faction.

 

[Silverface]

It still seems highly odd for Mandalorians to even have such a splinter faction within their own ranks. Mando splinter groups are rare and tend to represent differing political motivations within the culture as a whole, like with the True, New and Death Watch Mandalorians in the first civil war.

Rule 4 is very vague, and the organisation stinks of mirroring the Jedi, despite the change from Knight to Crusader. Having the luck of the draw to be Force Sensitive shouldn't automatically place a warrior in this 'enigmatic group of Mandalorians', just as this 'enigmatic group' shouldn't really exsist.

But it could be a cool idea with alot of work, I'll give you that. But it shouldn't have formal ranks, that much is certain. Although this quote made me grin a little:

Training is generally tough and grueling

So.. basically like normal Mandalorian training sessions then? :CSly


Hopefully you two work this idea out into something awesome and fitting with the Mandalorians.
