Des Voh Id really like to know by what methods you're using to decide what is canon and what isn't for our Guild rp... Even if none of the characters currently in-game can justify using or receiving one, its a bit ridiculous to outright deny its existence when we have so many other things that blow canoncy out of the water. Hey Des...

Des Voh Id really like to know by what methods you're using to decide what is canon and what isn't for our Guild rp... Even if none of the characters currently in-game can justify using or receiving one, its a bit ridiculous to outright deny its existence when we have so many other things that blow canoncy out of the water. It's easy: It's not your concern. It's up to the moderators and the general overall plot. Quit wasting your time trying to complain about other characters. Seriously, you've complained about Skyborne, now this... Instead of focusing on what everyone else is doing and how you don't like it, why not address the problems in your own posts? Such as the GODMODDING your character seems to be doing. Such As how you know about the extent of what took ruuria (which is not entirely common knowledge even to republic military, much less some jedi), or even the fact of Jian's presence. He never stated his name, nor was it ever mentioned anywhere in the game to anyone aside from Danika, leaving quite a gaping hole in your OOC knowledge. Start worrying with your own problems before you start playing around with the overarcing plot. Maybe, instead of trying to doubt this or that, you should consider also talking over PMs if you have a specific reason to know canonicy, rather than complaining about what everyone else has done. Between this, and skyborne, and all the problems you had with Cale, i'm kind of getting to the end of my rope with you finding every reason to sit on your butt like a mule and drag people down. If you're not having fun, I'm not going to force you to stay. But if you insist on finding fault in everything, instead of trying to make a proactive attempt to do something useful, i really don't have the time nor effort to extend towards you. This isn't a warning, this isn't unfair, this is you doing your best to try to ruin this for others. And as a moderator of the game, I have to be fair towards others to give you ample recognition of the position you're putting yourself in.

Cale Darksun DA's correct. At this point in time, there are three major printers of currency: The Republic, The Empire and the Hutt Cartel which uses a monetary system centered around a base eight notation, which is what you're converting the local money of Ruuria to. This is not even including the fact that even semi independent planets will have their own currency for the most part. The Video game glosses over this for gameplay reasons, but even the prequels acknowledge that different worlds have different currency and values for that currency, perhaps one of the few points in their favor when it came to exploring the Star Wars Universe. In Palpantine's time, he standardized the Imperial Credit and made it the currency of the galaxy, though there is still about several thousand years of inflation to deal with. You could get a Target Blaster in the TOR era for about 25 Republic credits, but towards the fall of the Republic, you couldn't get a Sporting Pistol for under 300 credits, and even then you still needed a license. The only mention of currency troubles I can recall from the prequels are Qui-Gonn's difficulty in paying for starship parts, and the explanation for that in movie and on the Wiki was more or less because Tattooine is such a backwater that it only uses hard currency instead of electronic credit. The Wiki also states that interplanetary currency was backed by a single source, the IGBC on Muunilist. Even during the Clone Wars and the Galactic Civil War, the IGBC backed the currencies of both sides of the conflict.
However, granted that this is an older time period, it's entirely reasonable to accept that these three factions at least have different monetary standards. Although, it shouldn't be too difficult to make transfers between two of these different factions, especially since exchanges of currency happen on between them on a regular basis. (Not so much between the Republic and Sith, but the Hutts would naturally trade with both.)
Again, you're making a good point here, and it's good to have an issue like this brought up early on in the RP to avoid future confusion. I just like logical debate, and will jump at the chance to do so. Don't think that I'm upset at all by the disagreement...

In the New Republic, Luke is forced as well with the currency issue. He has to work with a... alien... who calls him to adjudicate between the alien and a trader Niles Ferrier i believe.
Anyways, because both the republic and the empire were on a dwindling phase, the debate was just how much is the transaction worth? Sith credits won't be worth much now, but there's quite a few people who maintain an independent currency outside the republic credit, which is somewhat mirrored in TOR even, with the one senator who pays off with dirty money that is rarely used offworld.
So it's a bit of a craps shoot.

Over the two weeks, both Jian and Stellar's characters stated they had been thoroughly debriefed over the situation that occurred on Ruuria... Im working with assumptions given by what information I could get from others posts and knowledge about how things work. Im sure Republic Intelligence would cross facts with the Jedi over such an incident.
My character is investigating whatever information about the Sith that he can, from first-person perspectives. I am worrying about my own damn problems. I am working into doing something useful in the game. Im also trying to coordinate that effort with two people, which is just now coming together. To lead into rping against and with three others.
Ive made some edits to my post after discussion.

I was debriefed by the jedi council regarding the incident with sith; Jian's not military so he has no need to report to SIS, more importantly, he wasn't in a position to spend two weeks like the others in debriefing, as his orders were almost instantly given out.

Nelowulf I was debriefed by the jedi council regarding the incident with sith; Jian's not military so he has no need to report to SIS, more importantly, he wasn't in a position to spend two weeks like the others in debriefing, as his orders were almost instantly given out. No, Stellar's character were debriefed by Intelligence. After reading through your own report as summarized by the council before set on his mission, he was also given the reports from Intel and the Navy. He pieced the two together as best he could.

good to know the jedi order liberally hands out the dossiers regarding secret assignments to Thule to random historians to casually browse over.

That's what i'm trying to figure out myself. I don't recall the jedi council handing him any mission save for thule, though i've had far more important things on my plate.

Skye and Sayla, Im trying to send a multiple PM to everyone on the republic side in the Minos Cluster, but it will not allow me too since you're not on my list. I've sent requests to each of you.

I still don't see why Des' character would be informed of the details of Jian's mission

Des' character is a higher ranked Jedi Knight being tasked with a mission to counter Imperial attempts. After Jian's debriefing he could have been informed of the situation that happened thus-far in-game.
Hes read up on other reports, such as Satele Shan's and other first assaults that Jedi were present for. I didn't get the chance to begin the game in the first chapter like most other characters so I'm doing what I can with 2nd hand knowledge and the interview with Stellar's PCs. The war has been on for a month and a half now, its heating up fast.
Anyway, ignore the PMs I sent out, they're moot now.

What situation though? Jians assignment on ruuria would be impromptu, leaving his name out of it. In particular, because he's a shadow, his name is most likely blacklisted from record to help protect his identity. And atop that, your character has really no need of that information.
I think you're kind of lacking any motivation to really read up on the details of this because i'm finding little information that necessitates this. High ranking or not (in this case, more not than otherwise), Jian's debriefing would reveal nothing that other reports dont' cover far more in depth, partly due to the fact his mission wasn't even sanctioned as a part of the jedi order; it was merely something they approved of post facto.
The Jedi order might be meticulous at details, but even they don't keep tabs on every living being in the galaxy at any point in time, especially with the lack of information transfer at the moment. The only place you'd probably find a large source of information would be SIS records, which would require a bit of time to gain clearance to, since SIS is not under the jurisdiction of the Jedi order, and depending on the local authorities, that means Red Tape galore...
Just from my perspective.
