~ Rules & Tips Update ~

Greetings All,

On 335.03 ABY, the following updates were made regarding JEDI policy:
  • New [Rules & Protocol] post in the Student Journal part of the Comport. This will replace the outdated Student Information Booth, that was created in 2005 and existed to outline expectations to new members. This can only be viewed by JEDI members. Note that updated policy on dual and staff lightsabers concerning students is included in this update.
  • Updated the Master Index to include the above.
  • Updates to the Rules & Tips section of the Forum. Most significant being the following addition to the Ranks & Responsibilities post:
    When taken on by a mentor, a student's training truly begins. The job of a mentor is to ensure his or her apprentice makes it to Knighthood by guiding them through the necessary tasks and trials of a Padawan Learner. The Knight or Master must bond with their apprentice as well as conduct training sessions and missions in order for their student to progress.

    All XP grants must be approved by a student's mentor, who becomes responsible for the Force template and allocated XP of their Padawan. The Knight or Master calls the shots and becomes responsible for their apprentice.
Feedback on these changes is welcomed, as such large bodies of text can be susceptible to many overlooked errors.

~ Rules & Tips Update ~

Greetings All,

On 341.11 ABY, the following updates were made to the Rules & Tips section of the Comport:
  • In the Mentor Guidelines, the rules explaining the different levels of admin have been expanded to also assert the conditions of how each level is distributed. In the case of Mission Director, the admin rank will be given out based on merit instead of membership of the Directors team which has now been disbanded. The new section now reads as:

    ~ Administration ~

    Administrative powers are granted to mentors upon their knighting so that they may effectively impose the rules of the community on the Council's behalf. These powers also serve to help administrators provide content for members, as all administrators have directorial rights to generate role play through simulations, events, classes, exercises, missions and outings.

    The following lists the different administrative ranks and briefly includes their permissions:
    • Instructor: Given to newly Knighted members and offers additional permissions on Galaxy and Grounds servers with fewer permissions on Temple server.
    • Watchman: Given to Knights who have proven themselves capable and offers equal permissions on Galaxy, Grounds and Temple servers. Permissions of Instructor level, on Galaxy and Grounds servers, are matched and are included on Temple server with Watchman level admin. Given to Knights who have perform satisfactorily in their position after a decent period of time.
    • Mission Director: Offers additional permissions on Galaxy and Grounds servers. Permissions on Temple server are matched with Watchman level. Given to Knights and Masters on the basis of merit and level of contribution. Whether they're a Head of Department, Era Coordinator or simply active is considered when one's admin is upgraded to Mission Director. Mentors can be downgraded should their level of contribution decrease dramatically.
    • Council: Given to Councilors and offers equal permissions on Galaxy, Grounds and Temple. Permissions of Mission Director level, on Galaxy and Grounds servers, are matched and are included on Temple server with Council level admin.
    • God: Given to High Councilors. Immune to admin commands performed by other players. Includes rcon access.

Greetings All,

On 343.14 ABY, the following updates were made to the Rules & Tips section of the Comport:
  • A new [Rules and Protocol] topic in Department Information has been released to explain the expectations and purpose of the community's head of departments.
  • The Master Index has been updated to account for the above.
  • Amendments have been made to the Mentor Guidelines to account for the recent changes to HOD XP grants and monthly lessons.
  • Amendments have been made to Jedi Master rules on rerolling and read as follows:
    "A Master cannot re-roll and retain their rank as being promoted to Jedi Master is premised on IC accomplishments"

    Change to Student Guidelines "II. Training, Force Templates & Experience Points"

    "The rank of Jedi Master is off limits to those re-rolling as a mentor. In addition, should a Jedi Master resign, re-roll or be removed as a result of misconduct, their character will automatically be demoted and recognized as a Jedi Knight in JEDI's archives."

    Change to Ranks & Responsibilities "I. Ranks"

Greetings All,

On 347.10 ABY, the following updates were made to the Rules & Tips section of the Comport:
  • A new section on the comport has introduced a new process in which mentor-run missions are organized. This is to help facilitate the creation of content without a dependency on the Missions Notices and Applications section, which is reserved for Council approved content only. The Server Reservations and Extras section can be used for Knights and Masters to host their own role-plays by reserving the required servers and advertising for extras if needed. This is to help community-wide collaboration so Extra Missions (EMs) are not solely organized over channels external to JEDI.
  • Changes to the Mentor Guidelines have been made to account for the above.

Greetings All,

On 358.28 ABY, the following updates were made to JEDI's rules:
  • Changes to the Code of Conduct have been made. The edits were made to incorporate rules already outlined in the outdated and soon to be archived (( OOC Rules )) post. These changes to the Code of Conduct do not entail the introduction of any new rules but are rather part of a continuing effort to contain all the rules governing JEDI in as few topics as possible, allowing for greater clarity. Look specifically under 'Forum Protocol' to observe the new updated material.
