Activity seems to be dying a little, though luckily we have some training threads going on, and of course we have Requiem of the Fallen. I've been waiting to get responses back in regards to training guidelines, but it's been a while since I've last heard anything, so I might go ahead and just post it.

Also, I've noticed that our Imperial Guard is severely lacking. I'll try to think of some ways to try to spark interest, but unfortunately the Imperial Rebels seems to have taken most of the people who are interested in being stormtroopers or ex. Imperials. What's worse, Jiang doesn't like the idea of the IK and IR working together. If you guys have any ideas, I would be interested in hearing them.

Also, I've mentioned a couple ideas to Xenomorph on skirmishes we can do, but communications are slow, so I don't know how long until anything will be finalized.

A suggestion. I believe that our body is lacking an understanding of what the Imperial Knights truly are. Denzien's character's thoughts in the funeral thread disturb me. There is a stoic, military mindset that is missing in our newer members that I think should be addressed.

As for the Imperial Guard, I might suggest temporarily disbandoning the branch and replacing it with a mercenary/bounty hunter relation. We could hire more soldiers or mercs than we have loyal to us in our ranks. There are plenty of them out there, and using them will also keep our enemies from using them.

Perhaps we could start with smaller skirmishes that don't involve the whole of the Empire's faction or approval of the Faction as a whole? We could get a couple of Sith, work out why they are somewhere, then attack that somewhere with one or maybe two of our Knights. This could produce possibly three different threads of small skirmishes, using our active members. We'd accomplish more in these smaller threads than we would in larger, longer, battle threads; and we'd keep interest for our Faction, giving them things to do...

The skirmishes would be small, with only a couple for each side. But if we have only one or no active Imperial Guards, then we can't do that sort of setting.

Still, I think officially I'll keep it open, but not make a subfaction board for it, since that's yet to be done, and instead do as you suggested and bring up SIN earlier than planned.

Oh, I didn't mean for the Guard. I meant the Knights should go on these skirmishes against individual Sith chars. We have ...one active char on the Guard? He can go along as a companion or hired merc who is loyal to our cause, I think.

True, and would be more effective once we get SIN up and running.
