Adieu...
There is one topic that dominates the new this week but before I get to that, I’d like to mention a couple of things. Firstly we have a promotion to mention in the Jedi Order. Padawan [member="Meeristali Peradun"] has now lost his braid and should now be correctly addressed as Knight Peradun. Congratulations Meeristali, it was well deserved.
Next there is a move to revamp the Jedi Academy on Ossus. So if anyone has any ideas for menu items, what the gym should like like, how the hangar could be arranged, please take a look here and give us your ideas.
So on to the main news - the Invasion on Manaan. I’m not going to put the links in here because I suspect you know where to go and what to do. But if I’m not going to talk about the invasion itself, what will I say?
OK…serious face on!
I am reminded of some words of wisdom that [member="Tefka"] once said to a Faction that he was approving for Major status. No, not, “Don’t kark it up” (but I suspect he said that too). No, it was some advice to the leadership of the Faction.
"Persistence is a rare attribute, but so is patience...Going Major means you are no longer the sole owner of this Faction. It belongs to the community now…You are this Faction's direction, but the members of it are your strength. Treat them with the respect they deserve, and you'll be rewarded."
Now only a few days ago, a thread was started ahead of any formal announcement that the Invasion was to begin. It's fair to say it did not start positively. But within a very short space of time, the flow was about what we can do and not what we can't. Not about how bad a hand we’d been dealt but how we could win. There was no intervention from any OOC leadership but there sure as heck was a lot of IC leadership to get things turned around. And there is no need to name names, we all know who to thank.
Persistence and patience. You are the strength and you have truly rewarded this Faction with your devotion and dedication. So a huge thank you to each and every one of you.
Win or lose this Invasion, please don’t forget…you stay classy Galactic Republic.
