Actually, that would work. Venefica, you mind if those to clash in the first round? Ferus was gonna have them fight, and killing two birds with one stone would be fantastic.

 

[K'sara]

We've made up our minds, we just need our Master's permission

 

[K'sara]

And, permission was given.

 

[Teynara Jeralyr]

Please don't say 'woot'. A little dignity is appropriate among the Acolyte ranks.

Sounds good. I'm looking forward to a good fight.

That's what I was thinking myself. Give them a chance to catch the eye of a prospective Master. I'm disappointed none of DV's apprentices signed up...need to have a word with them


[member="Darth Ferus"]

I've paired them together

[member="Feral Sapith (K'sara)"]

'Woot' is a Jedi term

 

[Lord Ajihad]

[member="Tirdarius"]

Meh. One tournament per month would mean lots of bloodshed.

On second thought, great idea.

 

[K'sara]

Post edited, "woot" will now be an unknown term

 

[Teynara Jeralyr]

@Vi'kas - that's the Sith way, to an extent. Provided the rules are observed and there are no kills, beyond what the Lords choose to bestow for particularly poor performance (keep an eye out Acolytes!), the bloodshed should remain limited to minor wounds. Sufficient to teach lessons as to wariness and capability, but not likely to cause us to lose the worthy from among our ranks. Removing capable warriors, victorious or not, only serves to diminish the One Sith. And there shall be punishment for those foolish enough to put their own victory ahead of that of our Faction, I promise you that!

[member="Darth Venefica"] - Perhaps you and I should talk about a system?

 

[Via Dolorosa]

[member="Tirdarius"]

We can do that

we will also include [member="Matsu Xiangu"] in them as well...*facepalm*...I forgot she wanted to help with this one

 

[Teynara Jeralyr]

[member="Darth Venefica"] Sounds like a plan to me. Given the low uptake of Acolytes by Masters, we could definitely use a system to train them until they can be noticed and taken up - just the other day, we had at least half a dozen added to the books with none apprenticed. We have to make provision to make sure they are able to contribute and advance.

 

[Via Dolorosa]

[member="Tirdarius"]

I agree...I noticed one of the issues for them finding Masters is that some of the Knights/Lords seem to be preoccupied with other things. Which is their choice.

[member="Darth Ferus"]

Technically, Vi'kas doesn't even know he's going to fight anybody yet *ahem* *Mightwanttomentionthatatsomepoint* *ahem*

 

[Vrag]

[member="Darth Venefica"] [member="Tirdarius"]

Ooh, I'd be interested in helping with this as well, if you'd have me.

It's a great idea to engage Acolytes that have trouble finding Masters, as well as give prospective Masters a way to judge which Acolytes would be a good fit.

 

[K'sara]

K'sara was only given a name.

 

[Lord Ajihad]

[member="Feral Sapith (K'sara)"]

Vi'kas doesn't even know of K'sara's existence (yet)

 

[Via Dolorosa]

[member="Vrag"]

consider yourself in

 

[K'sara]

@Vi'kas Mirtis

Oh fun

 

[Teynara Jeralyr]

[member="Darth Venefica"] - Yes, and that is a particular issue, but I would also argue that holding high position within the Faction should be conditional on participation. No point calling yourself a Master or Lord among the Sith ranks if you're not willing to pass your expertise down to those who would seek to obtain the same. If we keep people at Acolyte ranks, we deny ourselves potentially good writers moving into a position where they can also take on students themselves and swell our ranks.

[member="Vrag"] - Absolutely - I'd be inclined to create a system where we have group lessons taught by Knights and Masters as substitutes for a single Master. Venefica already had a lovely trip on Korriban for many of our Acolytes, and we need similar things there to benefit those who have no Master under whom to train. As you say, it's an excellent way of assessing those who have yet to impress a Knight/Master, and also opportunity for them to develop their characters.

 

[Darth Ferus]

[member="Tirdarius"]
[member="Darth Venefica"]

I'd be down with assisting with that as well.

@Vi'kas Mirtis

You'll be told after I get out of work x3
