To arms...

To arms! To arms!
I’d like to let everyone know that a resistance is growing to Kronos’ imperial army…. Vanidar, Flash, and I, being the founders, would like to oppose Kronos’ army. We feel that it should make some good rpg, a LOT of fun, and… more fun. Remember, guys, in the end… We’re all on the same team. There are no points for second place. We’d like to have a ranking system similar to Kronos has, but with our own tweaks… It can be improved upon. Let me know what you guys think… This isn’t gonna be serious ranks like the Academy… We don’t want in any way to impose upon the academy with our own ranks. This will be PURELY for FUN. If all goes well, and we have enough people, we may be able to possibly get a schedule time each week for TFFA’s, RPG’s, Practice each week for each army. So far, confirmed entries into our army is as follows:
Auron
Vanidar
Flash

Eljeton
Ioshee
Jacen Aratan
Katan
Takoa
DeathBringer
Rob_Keller
Acey_Spadey
Trekked
Graves
Mockran
Raine
Fonz

Brax, I think you could do that...YEah, Heavy Infantry would be better right now, seeing as no one is signed up for that yet. Talk to us later to tell us your choice :)

Yeah, they can use force, but not Grip and such, since if they're going to gun, Normal Gunners arent force sensitive....Still, they need to be able to deflect rockets and such, so i guess what i meant was limited force, even more limited to certain groups, and VERY limited to normal Grunts in a group :).

What i MEANT about the first come first serve for the Heavy Infanry was that the first person we approve of gets it. I was trying to get people to apply for it faster if they really wanted it. Of course i wouldnt let the first persron that signed up take over the whole Heavy Infantry part...Yeah, Ioshee, I'd be glad to have you as a grunt :) Most likely you'll be in the heavy gun divsision, unless sniping is more your forte, Then you'd be with Auron in the Sniper Group.

And Brax, theres only three groups, we wont be adding any more unless there's a good reason, so we cant let you have a Grip Kick group :).

Yeah Jacen, you'll probably get your requested Squad leader position, because you were one of the first to sign up....Just make up your mind about which Group you want to be a squad leader in...Most likely we will have One, MAYBE two squad leaders under us three for each group (Saberists ( Led by me :cool: ) Heavy Infantry, and Snipers ( Auron took this postition, after he learned i already had saberists )) Get with us later, probably on the servers...

Still need more grunts! :D

Sounds good, Flash. Ioshee is expendable? Ahahaha.. Funny, But Ioshee's cool, so he's in. Jacen is in unless you show us a reason not to have you in the future. You should have your requested officer spot, we just need to look over positions. Brax, there won't be any force in this. Make up your mind of what you want to be. I think a trooper would be good for you... Vani? :cool:

Ok, looks like ioshee wants to be one of te people that dies in battle. We'll make him a trooper becasue they are expendable. Jacen, I think you will make a good squad leader. But are you on our side or Kronos's side? Make up your mind, or we won't recruit you. Brax, you could be in charge of teaching Force combos. With all the knowledge you got from SS, you should do just fine. But these are only my words. I need either Vani or Auron to agree with me before anything is made final.

Aratan, I thought you already said you wanted to be on the "other" side. Are you a double agent? That'd be cool.

Since you are not Rebels in the traditional way (you better not be, or else.... :)) I'll sign up for a position with responsibility (no, I'm not powerhungry, and you yourself said it was only to have it RPG'ish and to keep diciplin), Squad Leader or Officer or something like that. I can follow orders, give orders (;)), and the last time I tried wargames I was one of the few who actually had some diciplin.

Thank you for your time, and now you drop down and give me 40! :P

I'm not very good at RPG but maybe I could be one of the grunts. I take orders good and I don't mind going down in a blaze of honorable glory.

First come first serve? Do u really want to put the command of an entire unit in the hands of the first person that signs up? We should evaluate them if we don't know how good they are or if we know how good they are we can compare them to others who want in. BTW Vani, I'm sorry I didn't come back on the server. I checked the server page and saw thet you were there but my ping was too high to join.:(

We still need a name...We also need more people, and have in mind which group you want in...Think of that. Heres another defintion and elaboration on that.

A - Saberists, Led by me. We will mainly be deflecting enemy fire, serving as a shield of protection for our gunners. We WILL charge at times, depending on the situation. Have some skill with Sabers vs guns, but, seeing as i only have a little, i dont expect that much from my saberists the first few times out so, skill is only about 35% important here.

B - Sniper Unit, Led By Auron, he needs some skilled snipers or some snipers wanting to have fun and learn, skill isnt necessary, but know how to fire ;).

C - Heavy/Medium Infantry. These guys will be doing the majority of the killing,along with the snipers. Probably wielding Rocket Launchers, Repeaters, Flatchettes, or any other explosive mass destruction weapon. Other guns are permitted, but heavy guns are majorly preferred (Except Tenloss Rifle) :) Right now, no one is leading this unit of heavy gunners. We need a skilled gunner capabale of handling TFFA's, and officer material (Leading into fights, RPG sense, responsibility, etc). It will be first come first serve, depending upon our approval... Well, right now, we have 4.

Lets get some more recruits, we need to get to RPG'ing and practicin a little =D If your interested, leave a post here or in Mine, Auron's, Or Flash's profile page.

We need a more organized way of recruiting soldiers. We need separate ranks, each using their own weapons....let's see: Commanders (the founders, using any weapon of choice), officers (weapon of choice), Squad leaders (maybe using repeaters or flechettes), troopers (E-11 blaster rifles), snipers (sniper rifle of course), maybe some others too. What do you guys think? Oh, and troopers and squad leaders cant use force, but should the officers be able to?

UPDATE: After talking to Vani, i have new groups:

Saberists: Vani will be in charge of a group of saberists, who will be in charge of protecting the snipers and artillery.

Artillery: Troops using Heavy Weapons (Flechette, Repeater, etc.). We still need someone to train these guys.

Snipers: Troops with sniper rifles, they mainly hang back and pick off the enemy at a distance. Auron will work with these guys.

Troopers: These guys shall use the normal E-11 blaster rifle. Not much to say here, although I will be in charge of recruiting them, organizing them, teaching them to walk like troops should, and disciplining them. Vani wants his own group though.:D

Squad Leaders: There will be one squad leader per group. They will be in charge of keeping a specific group under control, but whatever they say can be overruled by a commander.

Commanders: Me, Auron, and Vani. We use all weapons, and have the final say in decisions regarding battle. Of course, we are always open to suggestions.:)

Last, Vani has stated that all army members are allowed to use force, but what specific force powers different groups can use is still under review.

All this brings up one BIG problem. The max number of people on a server here is 20. In order to have a fair match with the Imperials, there will only be 10 people allowed on both sides. Which means not all of you will be able to fight at once.

Have fun and start signing up!:alliance:

Well, First off...Jake, we aren't a "clan", more of TFFA and RPG Group/Team, its going to be formal, but not to the extent of a clan. And, Jacen, We aren't "Rebels" :) They might be The Imperial army, but we ourselves are more of a new type, not as closely associated with the movies as The Imperials/Rebels are...And as was previously stated, if this DOES work and we have approval, the ranks will NOT be JA ranks, not even ranks at all...More like assignments - i.e. Squad Leaders, Officers, etc. Not really ranks, moer like we're giving people tasks to carry out so we dont have complete chaos, Just a chain of command for a lack of better words.

Sounds like a clan inside the JA is your plan, hmmmm, don't know if ranks is a good idea.

I'm not gonna join an army, but if I happen to be on a server when the 2 sides are clashing, I'll help the losing team :)
