(( The Attrition Wars Finale: Announcement & Question ))
Hello everyone,
As the title suggests, we are nearing the end of this current arc and looking to finally draw the curtains in an epic closing to the war, then transition in a long progressive quiet period before looking towards the future with something new.
No details of the contents will be given out at this time regarding said events.
With that said, there has been an idea I've been floating around but to pull this off it requires participants through out. So, below I have detailed some of the ideas to bring this to a close...
Would people be happy to attend such an occassion as this dedicating that length of time to JEDI events? Could you dedicate two days straight to this sort of thing (with few hour breaks given in between of course, I'm not a machine!)
Sure, it's big and long but I plan to have everyone featured where possible and include as many people in each event. However, certain missions may be capped for attendence to save on excessive amounts of people on at one time (to save lag) but the majority of you will be able to sign up - and there will be multiple sign up sheets which I may or may not allow Hopefuls to participate in (also JEDI members have priority).
Mock Timetable:
All planning will be done and sealed before execution, so the prep should take minimum amount of time simply filling in the participants of their roles.
This will be the big closing of the War, the missions will be spread out across the days selected (Morning, Afternoon, Evening) depending on what's confirmed by the EC board. Sign up sheets will be divided up into allocated time slots for you to consider and, hopefully, sign up and take part in multiple ones. Once we confirm how we will execute this plan, things will begin moving and we close the curtains on this long long war.
Regards,
Sebastin Creed, Jedi Knight

_____________________________________
Weekend Marathon: (i.e Friday + Saturday, Saturday + Sunday)
[Class instructors will be/ or have already been informed]
Basically with this idea I will be looking to run a double header weekend with the climactic ending happening on the 2nd day. This will come with a time table of possibly 2-3 missions per day for two days straight which I will be trying to run myself and with possible help, but I plan to take time off to attend and execute them all and ensure it's done perfectly.
With that said though, this will not happen until 2-3 (possibly more) months away - of course I know it's extreme to discuss now but I want to gauge interest in this sort of thing, would be possible to pull off?Split Finale: (i.e Monday + Saturday, Tuesday + Friday)
This will have one week day and one week end day, spliting the finale during one consecutive week. This might appeal more to those who can dedicate one weekend day and one week day, with school, work and plans taken into account.
Would people be happy to attend such an occassion as this dedicating that length of time to JEDI events? Could you dedicate two days straight to this sort of thing (with few hour breaks given in between of course, I'm not a machine!)

Mock Timetable:
Obviously this is subject to change, but this is the sort of layout I would be looking to do - given permission, approval and a good sign that attendance would be high of course.-- Friday -----------------Saturday --
M1: 1200 - 1400 --- M1: 1300-1500
M2: 1700 - 1900 --- M2: 1800-2100
M3: 2100 - Close --- End: On going
All planning will be done and sealed before execution, so the prep should take minimum amount of time simply filling in the participants of their roles.
_____________________________
So, with that said please let me know your thoughts, concerns, approval, anything you think about to the two possible ideas and also let me know which one most appeals to you, if you can commit to such a large event.This will be the big closing of the War, the missions will be spread out across the days selected (Morning, Afternoon, Evening) depending on what's confirmed by the EC board. Sign up sheets will be divided up into allocated time slots for you to consider and, hopefully, sign up and take part in multiple ones.

I would (if possible) be willing make myself available to help put the current arc to bed. Several missions in a row will help produce the momentum required for the Finale. Splitting final missions across weeks could result in people losing that built-up energy and becomming uninterested.
My only suggestion is that these missions are arranged, plotted, directed and rehearsed (if it's a scripted event) Before calling on people for prep on the final nights to save hours of waiting and watching a black screen as this often takes the wind out of people's sails. Can't have that happening when something is meant to be climactic!
I'll be willing to help on Friday, Saturday, Sunday (though not late on Sunday). During the week I will be working and might not be able to dedicate the long nights required for missions.
This is a good thread Sebastin.
Because of the magnitude of the last missions, it would be wise to keep a thread like this updated as you near those final preperations.
Good luck EC's!

Now this is words of truth.Amoné Fayden wrote:My only suggestion is that these missions are arranged, plotted, directed and rehearsed (if it's a scripted event) Before calling on people for prep on the final nights to save hours of waiting and watching a black screen as this often takes the wind out of people's sails.

If we're to be working towards the Finale once and for all, we don't want it to be all chaotic and unorganized, nor do we want people to sit in spectator forever while we determine what we're going to do. So getting everything setup in enough advanced time as possible would be ideal. That way, those participating (not the main Jedi roles) can come just a little early, prepare themselves, then we can begin.

I'm in for what ever as well. It's a big project to take on if it's going to work well.
My only concern would be quality assurance in relation to the size of the event. It would be a shame to see all these epic skirmishes and heavy plot missions that have already been done for the war to get over shadowed with a thin ending. However! I do like this idea and I think with good planing it can be done really well.
Not to mention classes getting missed which I thought was a rather large concern to the majority..

Of course, hence my 2-3 month waiting period, so I can write, confirm, prepare and practise the events to have them run smoothly one after the other.
I'll probably be doing more CFGs than I have ever done before (like I did for Dacs space battle).
So all of that will be taken into consideration.
Also, I will do updates as we go as well with this once I settle on how we will run this.
EDIT: and don't worry, quality is my middle name. It will have 'some' scripted sections, plenty of success and failures with consequences. It will be mulled over for as long as it takes to ensure I'm happy this will end with us all sitting together on a sever as a clan smiling saying - now thats how we end a war.

Holy cow!It's gone on for nearing a year now..
Well you seem to have a pretty clear scope and idea of what you want. Really looking forward to what happens. As many have pointed out this war needs to end. Hope we win.Of course, hence my 2-3 month waiting period, so I can write, confirm, prepare and practise the events to have them run smoothly one after the other.

Don't worry, most people know I'm a perfectionist but this time I aim to have the set up process perfected for minimal down time.Sasha Raven wrote:I'm in for what ever as well. It's a big project to take on if it's going to work well.
Effectively what it means is, that while everyone is away having a few hour break to come back for Mission number 2 or 3, I'll be working on it.
you want something done right, you do it yourself! the EC board will be working on it hard and plus, since there will be some heavy acting needed some of us will get time to mull over that too during preparation.

I'd prefer the split finale, personally.

Okay Nira, any particular reason?Nira'kalen'nuruodo wrote:I'd prefer the split finale, personally.
I'm just checking if its a dates/days issue so I can work you in some place encase I have to go with the majority or if you feel it's just too much I will take that into consideration also of course.

Can't we like do this in the easter holidays when activity should possibly be up virtually all the time?
Because most of those times are late to me .
If we did this during the holidays (Which start around the next week or two for most people) it would be alot easier to attend because the event could be held during the day rather than late in the evening (In British terms)
