I need to know who here is an Elder...

[Lady Vader]

Here's a list off the top of my head:

Lady Vader
Live Wire
Dark Lord Dyzm
Darth Vader


As I have been giving access to all the mebers of TSO to the SSC, so too will the Elders receive access to the Council Room (if they don't already have it). Hence the need to know if I'm missing anyone on the list.

I take it the Council was not did away with?

[Dark Lord Dyzm]

Council Room??? Really??? I don't see it... I don't know how to work the Mod Powers for the Vboards either...

I think it was agreed that the council would be done away with for some time, but with a bunch of you leaving and all, and the order being slightly revamped, I think perhaps it might be a good idea to keep it.

There needs to be some semblance or order or leaders, I think, and to define some as elders is a good way to do this. Without a council, there doesnt seem to be a set sort of structure, just a bunch of sith working together.

And, as I understand it, Sith arent all that crazy about this sort of thing - working together. So, in order for it to make sense, you have an order with a set hierarchy. Members join in order to learn from the masters here, to gain strength and power in the darkside. They work their way up the hierarchy in that ultimate pursuit of power. And the point of several elders, and a council, is because this is a way for those masters/elders to feel a sense of power - power over recruits and all of those below them in the hierarchy, power as a group over those who are not sith.

With a hierarchy, there is the sort of apprentice/master feeling that creates respect, and perhaps a bit of fear, but that fear only leads to a desire for more power, to get stronger and stronger and not feel that fear...which, I think, lends itself to character development.

There are a few of us here whose characters will continue to develop and to grow with the order, and in time will perhaps be admitted as elders. This is a motivational thing, and gives the characters something to work towards - the sense of pride in being admitted to the secret elite council, reaching the point where your char is considered powerful enough to be considered an elder.

As one who has a character like that (or hopes for him to be like that), I think its a good idea to have something like this. It gives your character something to work towards, and it creates a sort of mysterious aura about the order for those who wish to join.

I think so long as those who are considered elders and council members are actively posting, and doing something with the order (setting goals, leading training missions, creating rp scenarios to make the order known and active) having a council is a good idea.

And perhaps each new recruit should be discussed by the council (as another job forthe council). Someone who greets them in the joining area would then go to the discussion chamber, post their impressions, and the council would then make the decision on who becomes a member. I think the order would be stronger by creating some sort of system like this, for then there are more threads for rping, and admission to the order becomes a little more special than just anyone who wants to rp can get in. Let in those who are willing to put the time and effort in, so you dont end up with random members who never rp.

Im sick of people saying no one ever posts in the sith order, blah blah blah. I think its time we did something about it.

Im going to post this in the chat at well, for members to discuss, but anyway, I saw this and just had to put my two cents in.

I may be an elder. All depending on how you look at it...........

[AmazonBabe]

Dyzm, if you can't work the mod controls, you'll have to ask Ogies (aka SWFans) to allow you into the Council Room. Let him know I OKed it. I can't do it cause you're a mod and I can't edit mod's thingys.

[Dark Lord Dyzm]

You may not edit access for someone who is not a normal registered user!

Ahhhhhhh! Can't even change it myself... but I think I did ban Bob Saget...
