Important faction announcement

[Master Maverick]

From a personal point of view, this is all extremely petty and just plain irrational. I understand it's 'your characters', but do you really have to make them that unreasonable?

From a Jedi standpoint, Corden, and the rest of them, if the Jedi find out you go to the Sith, you'll not only be fighting yourselves, because it is yourselves you're going to be fighting, but you'll be fighting the Jedi as well. We're going to protect those that want to work with us. Well, that's what I think at least. I can't speak for PY.

And while I'm sure the Sith are going to help you, this civil war WILL severely cripple you as a faction and, if the 'Sith' side wins, then I could assume that the GA might try to cripple you further. You're in our territory, after all... And with that, I wouldn't be surprised if you became an Indie faction like the IK have. It's mighty arrogant and presumptuous to think that none of the PCs on a given side aren't going to die, and that copious amounts of NPCs won't die in this whole thing.

And from what little I've seen; Corden, your personality is somewhat abrasive. You can't just expect leadership to listen to you when you've pushed them away. At this point I'm just assuming, but I have been reading this whole thing so I kind of know. Anyway, you should have tried to earn their respect rather than just assuming you would have it. However, because of this coup, I don't think that's going to happen any time soon and you've just ostracized yourself further.

They (Apollo, Corden, and the others) aren't being unreasonable. If you are disappointed over and over, despite all your efforts, and something degrades further than you had ever imagined it could, you are probably going to be pissed. The same goes for Corden. He has dedicated his life to an idea, a culture... and that culture has changed dramatically from what it once was... from what it is supposed to be according to the faction write-ups, which were meant to be a clear indication of what the population of this timeline believe and how they act as Mandalorians... but that isn't how they are being portrayed, so is it not perfectly reasonable for Corden to react in such a way? He's tried subtle suggestions, he's tried overtly nudging the faction in the right direction, and he's tried taking over to reign the Mandalorians in himself. Nothing has worked thus far. If the write-ups determine what the Mandalorian population believe in and how they act, technically, Corden would have had the support of the majority each time he tried to get the Mandalorians back on track. Technically, he would have had it when he challenged Roxton Dagger for leadership. But it wasn't potrayed that way. So, from an IC standpoint, I can only assume that the write-ups are now void and Mandalorians have changed while Corden and his clan have remained the same... so his response is to take a step back with those that support his cause and then work to fix the Mandalorians from the outside swiftly and without mercy or hesitation. So if I'm going by the write-ups, is Corden really wrong?

Also, the other Mandalorians are welcome to hide behind the Jedi, but in the end, they will just die at their side. This splinter group will see itself as the more legitimate of the two, as the true Mandalorians. And the fact that they will have full possession of the previously lost Mandalore Sector will certainly help them in that area. They won't be in GA territory or even Imperium territory... they'll be home... and even more supporters will flock to the cause from that alone. Some people will die, sure, but that's part of war. Corden isn't afraid to die for what he believes in. He'll gladly give his life for a cause he sees as just.

Well, that certainly clears it up! (I'm being serious. I really don't know much of what's going on in terms of specifics) Although I find it somewhat contradictory that Mandalorians would ask for aid from Sith, or whatever you're doing. I thought Mandos hated them far more than Jedi. But of course I could be mistaken.

Well, it'll be interesting for sure, but a serious detriment to the Timeline as a whole when you follow through with it.
