Please note the following additions/alterations to GJO's policy regarding new members. This information has also been added to the GJO FAQ (http://www.thegjo.com/faq.htm). Please read it thoroughly before seeking admittance to GJO with a character, new or otherwise.
Questions may be directed to any GJO staff member.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Padawan Admittance Policy
GJO actively accepts requests from new characters seeking to be trained as Jedi. New and existing characters are welcome to petition for admittance. Characters previously aligned to groups known to be in opposition to GJO seeking to become Jedi must first be approved by a majority Council vote before admittance is granted. All requests are documented and processed in the order they are received.
Because of the limited number of teachers available, characters belonging to new board users will be given priority over those characters created by existing users. For example, a person creating an RP character for the first time will be placed higher on the eligibility list than a person whom has another Jedi character, and is seeking to begin another such character. This is done to ensure the maximum number of board users have an opportunity to develop at least one character with GJO.
Priority is assigned as follows:
1) New users creating their first RP character.
2) Roleplayers of other groups (or independents) creating their first Jedi character.
3) Roleplayers with existing Jedi character(s) seeking to create a new Jedi character. (Number of Jedi characters is a factor... ie. a person creating their second Jedi character will have higher priority than a person creating their third, etc.)
Existing characters defecting from another group to GJO are considered "special circumstances," and are handled on a case-by-case basis by the Council.
Users with existing Jedi characters, and wishing to create a new Jedi character, must declare each of their Jedi characters to the board staff before proceeding. Failure to comply with this request will result in the new character being denied admission to the group. Users found attempting to circumvent the rules of the system through masking of identity will be subject to disciplinary measures, which may include but is not limited to, banning of ALL the users accounts on a temporary or permanent basis.
Addendum - Multiple Jedi Character Policy
1) Users with characters promoted to the rank of Jedi Knight are subject to a 3 month waiting period, in which they are not allowed to create additional Jedi characters. Once the existing character is established as a Jedi Knight (ie. 3 months as a Knight), the user may create a new Jedi character to be placed on the admittance list.
2) Users creating Jedi characters, and later abandoning them (ie. making the characters inactive) must inform the staff that the characters in question are defunct/inactive before creating new Jedi characters. Failure to comply with this rule will result in denial of admittance for any newly created characters belonging to said users. Users found attempting to circumvent the rules of the system through masking of identity will be subject to disciplinary measures, which may include but is not limited to, banning of ALL the users accounts on a temporary or permanent basis.
Padawan Training Policy
All admitted padawans will have a master under whom they will learn the ways of the Jedi. These teachers will be of either Knight or Master rank, and may be instructing more than one padawan at any given time. The number of padawans assigned to a particular teacher is, in most cases, determined by the individual teacher and his/her ability to adequately instruct a given number of students. A padawan will remain with his/her teacher until the padawan earns a promotion to the rank of Knight. A padawan may be taken on by another teacher in one of the following circumstances:
- The teacher petitions the Council to have a student transferred to a different master, and the student agrees.
- The teacher becomes inactive in RP, and the student petitions the Council to continue training with another master.
- IC events leave the student without a master, and the council reassigns the student to a new master.
Once a padawan is promoted to the rank of Jedi Knight, the character becomes eligible to be an instructor themselves, and may begin to teach padawans him/herself.
Questions may be directed to any GJO staff member.
