Welcome to Gaia! ::

I was pointing out that bringing a fully recognizable high general of the republic as an "escort" on a "diplomatic" mission seemed highly contradictory to a peace mission. Des had made note that his character would be commanding the 501st and such, and being the said commander and one of the high five of the council, that would make him extremely well known.

My problem was bringing him along on a purely ambassadorial trip would give quite a bit of bad PR to the republic, who would look like instead of trying to mediate the arguement, it would wind up appearing as though they were trying to issue a forced resolution. And then, when he stated that he was going to go there one way or another to negotiate a deal, it pointed out that the republic knights would operate independent of the senate, whom i would be the official diplomat.

In short, my protest was his presence would be a total sign of militaristic intent, which he backed up by trying to announce that he would force a peace himself, without senatorial backing. Last i checked, it was a civil war, and if the senate sent an official delegation to mediate where it could, having a Republic knight go down and make a second armistice would only make the entire remnant not only seem fractured, but also the senate would appear as though it holds only ceremonial power, as the RK would be operating outside of an official sanction and enforcing a martial peacetime cease fire.

I see. If Des was playing an actual Jedi as opposed to his Jedi Warlord, it would work as the Jedi are known as peacekeepers first and foremost. His warlike tendancies, reputation, and intent would do more harm than good.

Ok, then I will need a new master. Bringing up the Obi-wan subject again, does anyone have any arguments against Master Kenobi being my master? I don't want to come off as pushy, but this matter needs to be resolved once and for all.
