Directorate Officer
It's been about a little over a week since I announced my decision to step down as MFO, as of yet, we have no nominations or volunteers for the group's next major faction owner (MFO). I have asked a few people myself who I thought might be good candidates, but people don't have the time - which makes sense - we're the oldest current major faction out there, and our base has gotten older too with more adult responsibilities and life changes.
This, combined with fluctuating activity levels in the last month or so leads me to recommend that we take the SJC minor.
I do not see this as being the end of the Silver Jedi though.
If the faction does vote to go minor, my recommendation would be to finish up our current threads with the other major factions (the junction with the Ashlan Crusade; the diplomacy thread with the Hutt Space Consortium) so we can plan a decent story to explain why we're leaving the map.
I think our best move is to figure out a storyline for the SJC collapsing from the inside out, with the end result of the political government of the Silver Jedi Concord collapsing, but leaving the Silver Jedi Order itself intact. This would allow us to keep the SJO itself going unchanged (as most of our writers do write jedi and seem content with things), but still give space for other characters (Antarian Rangers, Mandalorian covenant people, etc) to keep on roleplaying as allies of the Silver Jedi Order itself. To that end, I think the secession of Nar Shaddaa that we're doing now could ultimately be the catalyst for a bunch of political infighting that ultimately results in the Concord collapsing.
But I'd like to hear if people have other ideas that they'd like to explore with this if we do vote to go minor.
If you do vote the Silver Jedi Concord to remain major, I ask that you also put forth a nomination for a new MFO or volunteer yourself. Thank you!
EDIT: Matsu Ike has volunteered to be a potential MFO. This makes staying major actually viable.
EDIT 2: Please only vote if you've actually been a participating SJC writer somewhat recently (as in sometime in the last year). If you've not been active within the faction since then, I'm likely going to ignore your vote.
