Corvus Raaf
Adieu...
In eight days, Corvus will be one year old on the board. So there was a hint of nostalgia in making next week’s news my final one as FL — but then that’s not my style.
So instead this will be my last one and I’ll ask Tefka to switch the FL position to Taeli at his earliest convenience.
The judging on the Invasion is ongoing. One of the Objectives has been completed and the other two are coming along to the point where we hope to announce the final result soon. But I’ll leave that to Taeli and her new Faction Admin team.
Given the circumstances, forgive me wallowing in a sea of self-promotion and reflecting on what has been over nine months of pure joy (and skimping on the news too). Being on the FA team of the best Faction on the Boards is an honour and a privilege and that is almost entirely down to you guys. You made it as enjoyable as it was.
The other few percent is due to working with such wonderful Faction Admin teams. From my start with [member="Kiskla Grayson"] and [member="Avalore Eden"] to the team of Ava and [member="Kana Truden"]. Then Kana and [member="Kian Karr"] before a final and rather long run with Kian and [member="Seraphina Shel'tah"].
So I’ll share a thought or two before I go. The first was something that Sarge said once that really resonated with me. He said that when it came to Invasions, there are writers that want to put together a great story, and others that just want to win at all costs. Rightly or wrongly, I have always been in the former camp. His prognosis was that the ones that want to write the story will always lose. He’s probably right, but I’ll never change. So if, as a Faction, you want to start to win as opposed to write great stories, you have a decision to make and to share with the FA team. Is it entirely that black and white? Of course not, but it’s a good truism.
So…contentious thought over with, what will Corvus do with herself now? In truth, I plan to do what I was about to do last November. Focus on making the Jedi Order as much fun and as active as I possibly can. Now I have the time and the freedom to be narrow in my focus that felt wrong over the past ten months.
And those that wonder if I’ll leave the Republic? This song says it all about how I feel about the Jedi Order and the Republic. So I’ll sign-off now before I cry…

And you stay classy Galactic Republic, for as long as stars are above you. And longer, if you can...
