Okay, we can just postpone Menace64 stuff till later, since it’s not the most important thing on our list right now. LOL
Yeah no problem, I’m having a lot of fun “compiling” stuff!

I don’t know if you guys wanted to put descriptions with these people, but there are 16 of them, so keep that in mind. Let me know if any of these names (thanks fantasy name generator LOL) make you think of something weird when you read it. And we can change it. OR if you have like a super cool name idea, we can substitute it.
I’ll wait to post this on the details page till I hear back from ya’lls

I’m still here. A little behind maybe, but still hang’n around.😄
Is there something I should be doing?

Oh, no. Not unless you want to be, of course.
I was just wondering since we haven’t heard from you in a while 🙂

Jedi people name: I’m good with Crystalbolt Hunters, although I also really like the Elite Unit (maybe Elite Patrol) if we’re not doing a crystalbolt thing.
Isn’t Andor one of the High Judges? And then maybe Aleena and Maxwort are the others? (BTW, Maxwort is awesome. Maybe the contestants prefer Andor over Aleena and Maxwort since Aleena and Maxwort are strict, no-nonsense people, and Andor might be more friendly.)
What’s Andor’s plan? Wasn’t he going to influence one of the contestants to use him/her for his own ends? Or something?
And we really need to develop what happens to losing contestants. Perhaps they aren’t allowed to go home ’cause the secrets of the Cullings might leak, making things unfair? Or maybe, since Andor is kinda influencial, maybe he adds them to the Crystalbolt Hunters/whatever else we decided? Or are they sold into slavery? Or are they… disposed of? Just some stuff to work out, ’cause I’d like to get Aleck losing. 🙂
Also, I think we should all pick a branch we want our person to win. I think Vika should win The Operative Unit, since she’s already a spy and all that. 🙂 Otherwise, maybe medical branch?

As for the branches/games/terrain stuff, most of the games are a contest of wits and fighting skills, which don’t match up with the games. So how about this? For the diplomat branch, the contestants are judged on how they interact during the kick-off party thingamabob, but without them noticing. For Infection, maybe instead of attatching a disc to someone, you have to pin them to the ground and wrap a wound or something, kind of like goat tying in a rodeo, thus making it a good medical branch game. There’s a lot of ways we can tweak the games to fit the branches, or visa versa. *shrugs* But if no one likes that thought, here’s my ideas:
-military, The Final Battle, grasslands/prairie
-science, The Labyrinth, artificial
-technology, The Mechanical Battle, mountains
-diplomats, The Race, desert
-judicial branch, The Living Battle, an enclosed room
-legislative branch, Touch, rainforest
-medical branch, Infection, arctic
-spy branch, The Obstacle Course, changing terrain
Anywho, I know that was a mouthful, but thought I’d give it a shot. 😉

The losers are kept prisoners by Andor I believe, probably because the secrets leaked as you said, and Menace64 is the group of winners who try to free them.
I like your ideas for connecting which games to which branches. I was having a difficult time specifically with the diplomat, legislative and judicial branches, so thank you for taking care of that!
I’m good with the branch/terrain/game groupings you have there… I believe that covers most of the game planning we need. I may come up with suggestions of pairings later on but for now all seems well!
What I know in my head and what I believe in my heart are two entirely different things.
I really like Elite Unit for our Jedi people. I think that is my favorite of all of them.
Isn’t Andor one of the High Judges? And then maybe Aleena and Maxwort are the others?
Yes. All three of those are the High judges, then above I posted the 16 other judges for the individual games. (Were those good? Did you like those?)
What’s Andor’s plan? Wasn’t he going to influence one of the contestants to use him/her for his own ends? Or something?
Plan when? I don’t really understand… LOL
And we really need to develop what happens to losing contestants.
Your slavery idea sounds really cool (and all your other ones too.) I really do prefer the slavery one tho. It sounds like it would be fun to develop and putting slavery in things always changes stuff. What does everybody else think? I think we should go with that. And the Menace64 group could still free them, as winter rose said.
Also, I think we should all pick a branch we want our person to win. I think Vika should win The Operative Unit, since she’s already a spy and all that.
Good idea! I’ll see if I can figure out for my peeps!
Joelle, I loved your putting together of the terrains, games, and branches. Let’s stick with that since you already took the time to put that together. Thank you so much!
Life is short, smile while you still have teeth!
Elite Unit works for me.
I’m good with your 16 Judge names, and I already threw together a few Judge ideas, so maybe I can give their personalities to the new names.
From a a post WAY back at the beginning, someone mentioned having Andor pick one of the players to be his puppet. He causes them to win almost every game because he has access to the programmer of the game boards. The player could maybe be willing to work with Andor, but would risk a lot of anyone found out.
The slavery idea sounds pretty cool… let’s do it! Besides, just having all those losing players trapped in a cell the whole time might get a bit boring after a while.
I’ll try and get my characters up soon and what branch they want to/will get.
What I know in my head and what I believe in my heart are two entirely different things.
*sheepishly walks into room, quietly closes the door, pads over to the chair around the circular table, gets folders and notes in order, looks up at the others, smiles, and says:*
“Ahem. I have been gone for a while. Very sorry about that. My phone has apparently not been getting all the emails it was supposed to, and I have been a bit busy. Now, I have missed two pages of detail work, but here I am. Shall we start?”
Name wise for these Jedi Police Guys, I like Crystalbolt Hunters, but The Elite Unit sounds cool. Maybe The EU for short?
Isn’t Andor one of the High Judges? And then maybe Aleena and Maxwort are the others? (BTW, Maxwort is awesome. Maybe the contestants prefer Andor over Aleena and Maxwort since Aleena and Maxwort are strict, no-nonsense people, and Andor might be more friendly.)
Yes! Andor is more friendly, and that can play a big role in getting him the support he needs. Also, Maxwort is a perfect name and I love the image of this grouchy no-nonsense fellow walking around, strait backed, with a silver cane tucked under his arm.
What’s Andor’s plan? Wasn’t he going to influence one of the contestants to use him/her for his own ends? Or something?
So, I think Andor’s plan was to use the Cullings to sift out eight people to use as his “special” force, which would then command the Jedi Police and start a galaxy wide purge of all criminals and those Andor deems a threat to society. Also, he might be thinking of getting into their good graces so when they complete their apprenticeships, they’ll be more likely to bend to his will. If y’all have any better ideas, please say so!
And we really need to develop what happens to losing contestants.
We were thinking about doing this slavery thing, right? Now, that sounds really cool, but Andor was trying to abolish all evil. So maybe there’s this other guy/gal who is working behind his back doing bad stuff…. Hmm… eeek! I’ve just got an idea! What if, at the conclusion or our tale, Andor helps our team to defeat the undercover organisation who is trying to rescue criminals and revolt against Andor’s rule? I have a feeling I just made things a whole lot more complicated…
Also, I think we should all pick a branch we want our person to win.
Oh man. More thinking, LOL
And the ideas for the branches/games/terrain stuff sounds great! So for the technology Mechanical Battle, it could be testing your knowledge of technology because you have to power down the robot beast! This could have been you idea all along, and I am just slow, LOL And for the Labyrinth, you have to use anything you can remember for anything…. I am impressed with how you put all that together, @joelle-stone !
I light the arrow, pull the bow,
Shoot that fire right through my soul.All those names: what is 16 plus 16? 32 names?! I love ’em!

Ah, yes! That is a good idea. We should definitely incorporate that!

Esshh…. I sure hope I didn’t drown y’all in information!

@everybody
Thanks for the answers! I know that was a long post… :/
