I'm not saying we ignore it, but I am saying that introducing such a system leaves it open at a focus upon it, leading to a much bigger removal from an RP system, and that's the beginning of the end, to my mind.

Yes, Jedi can be warriors, but they are Jedi first and foremost. And lightsaber combat does not a Jedi make! It is but one aspect, and not even the largest of those aspects constituting Jedi philosophy. So that would not be an argument I would be inclined to support, Master Nhix.

Interesting perspective. I tend to approach it more that if you can defeat an adversary who has a clear advantage, you've gained something from the battle. If, however, you have two people on equal ground who are constantly exchanging defeats, improvement may only be insofar as dealing with specific...

Well, persisting in being a nuisance, wouldn't it require more skill to overcome an opponent that has a good 100HP more than you? And, as such, wouldn't the duelling aspect be improved accordingly by forcing you to do that? If you're looking to spend time duelling and improving your saber skills, su...

But, at last check, the whole point of the server was to develop IC RP, not to cater to OOC needs - that's why there are tons of duelling servers out there. And I really wouldn't think you'd want to start telling people that it's okay to do OOC stuff on an IC server, because they'd just start things...

I'm honestly not sure I see the point. I know you and Master Nhix were sparring using the challenge mode earlier, but I can't really see it much being used. Moreover, when two Jedi spar, they do so with all their normal abilities - skills and the like that they've earned over time. Not everyone will...

You have my gratitude, Master Rahn. Thank you.

That's interesting. I shall have to look into that one myself.

Well, I think the point is that that might have happened even had they been fighting to shields only, Nivek. It is quite an odd occurrance though, particularly when you consider the fact that saber locks happen all the time without such a thing being observed. Very odd indeed.

I'm gonna say Zez-Kai Ell.

Very interesting ideas. Nice work, Lynee, although I have to agree with Alkur that it's probably not an ability many people would have access to. That said, no reason why it couldn't be added (potentially) and just require a massive number of Force Points put into it (hence ensuring that only the up...

No, the right answer is that multitasking is the key! Okay, I only see the RP section of the server, and not the one on the forum, but I know it's there, and that's just as important. So both are necessary, and you shouldn't observe importance of one over other

Master Quell, not unexpectedly, has the next question.

Hmm...

Which two Jedi Masters, both of whom sat on the Jedi Council, shared a first name, but not a surname?

Jedi Master Eeth Koth, the two Jedi engaging in the tradition known as the 'Concordance of Fealty'. Rarely practised, but an interesting social interaction.
