There is actually two different designs- one on the main page, and one on the general discussions.

I was bored, so attempted to throw something together if we do even do the multiple factions. Of course, just bored and trying to throw together some
ideas - I don't mind if we decide to not use it (again, if we even get approved).

Can I ask, essentially, what would the difference be between the new Sith faction and the old one? On an ideological level?

Simply on my perspective (since I missed the brain storming last night

Looks pretty sweet Sky.
And yes Blitzen, I shall not leave my padawan in the lurch if such an event ever occurred. You would be more than welcome. |

From the brainstorming session last night, it will be lightyears apart from the current sith faction.

Basically the idea brainstormed up in a nut shell last night. At TGC since I have gone rogue, I created a thing called the Affinity. The idea was basically
taking that ground work and building from it.
We would be a group of Sith focused on creating Order in the galaxy. We use the darkside as a tool because it will give us the power to unify the galaxy, and not murder and maim. "Darkside for the Greater Good" kind of slogan. Albeit the greater good is our idea of it, and it benefits us. The Sith themselves are kind of fallowing the philosophy of the Rule of One. Everything is for the Order and the vision of the Order. The guy in charge is not in charge because he is the strongest but because he has the vision and the know how to make that vision happen. We would be order, where TSC would be chaos. As we, the think tank, view it at least. We would be deep in an alliance with the Empire. The brain trust decided that really we want to appeal to the general idea that the Force Factions should not have fleets. We would rely on the Empire for ships and highly trained armies, and in exchange we would supply them with highly trained force users. Also, one of the reasons that Ceel didn't like multiple sith factions was because of the constant sith vs. sith fighting. The Affinity, as we decided, would not want to engage in a war with TSC. We view them as kind of wack in the head. They are not even worth out time addressing in our minds. Trust me, don't get me wrong. Cause you're probably thinking, "isn't that the kind of thing the snobbish Sith that sat around being all decadent did," and yes that was their mentallity. But! We are focusing fighting the Jedi and the Rebels because they are a direct threat. The Jedi, while respectable, do not have the backbone to do what we desire to do, and as such since they fight against us where ever they can they are an enemy. The Rebellion is a group of dissidents and terrorists who also directly oppose our cause. So, the Affinity would never engage TSC as a faction, while they might engage us (cause I know who is in charge over there and I know how they work) but it won't happen visa versa. IC leadership is a triumvirate. You have myself, an Imperial Knight (our force liasons to the Empire), and some other person. It will hopefully be fluid. I never liked factions that were all about the leaders. I thought that RIP's focus on the horsemen was not a good thing, so the Triumvirate will simply be there for leadership. Kind of like how TGE has Disra, Cornelo and Dorlas representing different sections of their group, but by no means are they the focus of the faction. If a member starts to lag off then we shall replace them, not democratically though cause that's popularity and popularity is a failure. Hm... the full name is the Affinity of Independent Systems, don't let the name fool you. It is kind of like the People's Republic of China. The independent systems... are not independent. It is a tyrannical state, ruled by the Sith. Just note. This idea is just an idea. It is one that a lot of proponents for a new faction are in favor of. It gives us a clear and defined role, and one that would oppose the general view of TSC. It will also appeal to the desires that nuetrals want from a sith faction, and it addresses one of Ceel's problems from days long gone. And it just has a general good feel to it. Different enough from the current way things are to draw in some members, and give us a distinct role instead of an ambiguous one like things used to be. Fellow brain trusters, if there is anything I missed, fill in. |

nope...I think you hit everything from last night korran. Anything you left out were just minor details or Art's insistence on "mutant" sith
faction.

I also wanted something of a Dark Lord to be spear-heading, in this case Korran. The Sith follow power and they do NOT sit at a round table and have a vote.
IC-ly I believe Korran should hold the reins.
The difference between something of a dlots and this is that this leadership doesn't come from necessarily being The One Most Powerful--since there's PLENTY of masters around who could vie for the title. Rather, Korran is an exceptionally old character in terms of seniority and he's being backed by a lot of powerful Sith in this new faction. He's the man with the plan (icly) and a remarkable amount of power. Then again, if he abuses this (icly) we'll all kill him. I feel this detail really is necessary to set this organization apart from TSO. I believe it'd add a lot to the story and would be more reminiscent of how the sith Do Things. I understand dlots title is banned or whatever and that it's the source of a lot of controversy, so I hope I did a good enough job explaining how this would be different. Honestly, I hope you give us the opportunity to try this all out. I think it's in your best interest too, because if it doesn't work, you can always point to it in the future the next time something like this comes up. And if it does work, which I think it will, it'll be a lot of fun! |

I remember we discussed some of the members not realizing that they have actually gone to the darkside. Thinking that the 'greater good' was worth
using the darkside or whatever in the name of order.
I thought that was an interesting concept. |

I've gotta say, this sounds like a really cool idea.

I like the chaos vs. order concept, though I'd hope that there would be some rivalry, at least, between the Sith. Not that they would be totally focused on
destroying each other all the time, but it would be a shame to waste the conflict that would naturally erupt between them.

Something that could be readily addressed should it arise. As I said the Affinity would look down their noses at the council, and view them as a dreadful
insult to what the darkside can be used to bring about.
|

Samara Marzullo |

There would be rivlry naturally Vega. But from the Affinity's point of view the sith of TSO would be beneath them, and thus would not be the one to
generally strike first against TSO.
|

Korran Halcyon |

Aye, what Sam said
|

Vega Van Derveld |

So they would have no desire to stamp out the other Sith? They wouldn't see them as interfering somehow?

Im against the Affinity. It just doesnt fit as sithly.

I think it is they see them as the least threat so they are going to work on getting rid of the bigger threats first and then deal with the other Sith. At
least that's my impression.

Then there is the Palpatine school of thought, which relies on secracy, deception and double crossing to gain the power they want. The Affinity simply supports the latter view. |

Your ideas of two schools are flawed. The sith are ment to prey on each other, are ment to destroy each other and destroy anything in their path. There is no
such thing as "United Sith".
