Heart in a Jar
A lot of talk has been going on in skype about what the faction should do now, and how to right the ship. The problem with this, and yes I was privy to these conversations, is that we aren't getting the input of the entire faction. Instead, a select few are making the decisions for what's ahead. This is something I hated about past administrations of the Republic, so I want to right the ship, so to speak.
A decision must be made on whether we stay with the northern half of our territory or the southern half of it.
If we stay in the North we are trapped between the OS and Mandalorians with little to no room for expansion. We'd be sitting in a consolidated fortress, but we'd be stuck with only social threads, essentially, until invasions resume again after the holidays. Not without it's merits, this would allow us to spend time fortifying our worlds and preparing our military for the coming battles. But we would lose key planets like Ossus, as well.
If we go South, we lost our current capital and have to move it, but we keep a longer swath of territory, in turn allowing us freedom to grow and expand with multiple dominions ahead of the return of invasions. This is also a viable possibility and would allow us the ability to grow and keep on living, even should we lose other invasions (which I think we will do better in after the break, to be honest).
So what say you, the RPers of the Republic, on that issue? Please vote in the poll.
There are additional options available to us as well.
One of which is to tackle the stigma that is associated with us through a total shakeup. I support this option myself because A) I think it would be the most fun, and B ) I think it would likely get us away from the OS at least for a little bit.
So what does this entail? First and foremost: rebranding. Instead of staying around as the Republic, we run a Fall of the Republic campaign. This itself, would be fun to write. But out of this campaign we rise anew with a different name, and a different face. We do not go minor, we do not give up our ability to wage war on the One Sith and the forces of evil in the galaxy, but we turn a new leaf, try to be more friendly and positive and inclusive, and we rise under a new banner, a new name. What that name is would have to be decided in another thread, but this would be good for us either way.
So what say you, faction populace, on this issue? Please vote in the poll.
