The Jedi Code is what we follow
There is no emotion, there is peace
There is no passion, there is serenity
There is no chaos, there is harmony
There is no ignorance, there is knowledge
There is no death, there is only the Force

The Jedi_ Rules

Each Jedi_ must acheive these not only to pass the Rank of Padawan, but also to accomplish the most within himself. Jedi_ do not let their emotions get in the way of knowledge, and keep a clear head. They do not let Passion cloud their minds, hate, love, these are base emotions to be let go of.

Jedi_ must think clearly, get all the information before arguing, and always seek the middle ground between two sides. We are mediators, we seek to bring balance to the Force and EAW. To join a side without knowing both sides of the story is to be ignorant, and that is not the Jedi_ way.

When a member of higher rank gives you an order, the Jedi_ way is to obey, unless it goes against the Code or the Order.
The Jedi_ are a team, we must help each other through each person's time of need. When you are troubled, seek a fellow Jedi_ to help you find an answer to your problems. NEVER try to handle on your own what you know to be something the Order must hear. United we stand, divided we fall

RP battles and official challenges to a map battle (where everyone must accept that it is and that the loser loses his right to clan tags, officialy "dying" and being unable to rejoin that clan for at least a month) are permanent. If you are injured in an RP, your avatar takes damage and you must act likewise for your injuries. If you die then you must report what happened, when and where it happened, and that you are indeed dead and begining your death meditation phase, where you will not be allowed to use your clan tag for at least a month

To be eligable for the rank of Master you must train at least one padawan. The Council will decide when you are ready to reach that rank, so be patient. You do not recruit anybody without consulting the Council first, when you not a Master. Also, whining about how many people you recruited and trained isn't going to help you any. Your raised based on our judgment on quality, not quantity

You may not fight anyone from another clan while a padawan. unless attacked first without provoking your attacker into it. When you are a Knight you must consult the Council about declaring war on any other clan. When you are a Master you must inform the Council about situations with another clan before you may declare war. If the Council votes against it, then you may not declare war.

The Sith, in any form, are enemies. Watch for them, report any news of them, and if your a spy for them, pray we never find out

There is always a third way. As a Jedi_ it is your job to help people find a middle ground, instead of fighting

Never fight unless you are attacked first, or another Jedi or a helpless person is attacked

A Jedi doesnt feel, hate, or love

Obey the Code and find your inner peace

May the Force be with you




Jedi_ Order Guidelines
Since the Jedi_ have an annoying habit of getting all but wiped off the face of eaw and Xfire, here are a few guidelines for those of you wishing to raise the Order up once more if the Jedi Masters are gone or dead.

Council and Order Sustainment Suggestions :

The Jedi Council is the head of the Order, but members tend to have the problem of making things too equal or not equal enough. So here's some guidelines for the number of people for the council according to size.

1-3 people : One leader, as this is a period of growth where equality is going to seriously hinder any operations of growth. Each member should work on securing an alliance with a trustworthy and stable clan, one each, to act as defenders for the fledgling Order. Each member should recruit and train one padawan, two padawans at the same time always being maximum limit. You do not have to be a master to do this, you simply can't be the rank of padawan or lower. Jedi members should all be pretty active.

5-10 people : A Council of three members of equal status and influence. Council members at this point should stay pretty active, and encourage it to all members. Dont worry too much on alliances at this point unless you have none, rather, work on getting people who are pretty active and good at gaming, to join the Order.

11-20 people : A Council of five members of equal status and influence. Council members should try to stay active, but at this point things should be a little more stable to decisions can be concluded with simply a majority of the Council's agreement. Members should try to stay very active, as is always wanted. Work on recruiting and training members, try raising the Order up more. If people offer for alliances, review things in their organization closely, and be wary of Sith or enemy spies.

21-30 people : A Council of seven members of equal status and influence. The majority of council members should try to stay active, but at this point in operations the Order should be pretty self sufficient. Recruit people to train, go on more diplomatic missions and generally run things like a Jedi Order.

31-40 people : A Council of nine members of equal status and influence. The majority of the council should still try to stay pretty active, as they're the example for the rest of the Order. If the Jedi have this many members, than operations should be known and done by heart. Work on getting specialists and masters of each individual Jedi_ rank (meaning masters who were raised through a certain rank type, i.e. Jedi_Consulars, Jedi_Knights, etc.) Things should be very stable by now, but keep trying to raise up numbers and allies, help other clans and do Jedi stuff.

50 + people : A Council of twelve members of equal status and influence. One council member will be voted at the beginning of each meeting to hold the final swaying influence of a decicion or debate if the Council is split equally on a decision. This should vary from person to person, deciding who is most qualified for the current situation. If the Order isn't all but self managing at this point, your in for some serious trouble. Work on doing Jedi duties.

100 + people : I doubt this will ever be achieved during my stay in the Order, but for future members, this should hopefully help should the Jedi ever get such numbers. Work on starting up a sub-council. Much like the main one, add council members according to the growth rate provided above, except it'll be over a hundred of course. Council members of the new council CANNOT be the same as the one's on the main council. If the Jedi Order ever gets this large, then work on spreading throughout the entire gaming world, across all games. Bring the Order, to the world.
