okay, this may just be one of the crazier ideas i've ever posted seeing as it would Immensely assist the site, in my opinion, but will probably get shot down anyway. So here it goes. In theory it sounds simple enough, we, when i say we i actually mean the admins, get together and collectively decide on what has happened before now, AKA in the the past of the site. We all know about the Darkstar, and Jack something or another, but does everyone know of Luster, or that other guy, i don't think so. So if all the site's most major events were comprised, sorted out, and posted for the benefit of others i believe it would help, for at least those who care enough to be accurate on, profiles, For instance, Gamov only just was called on a lack of information stored in the jedi library at Coruscant, now if we had a timeline in place with that mentioned in it, he would have never had this problem. And some events are mentioned by some, but don't seem to have come full circle and are considered site cannon, a prime example would be the Vong invasion that almost happened. So if this were done some events could be retooled to fit, or removed all together depending on the situation. This would of course mean some Bios may or may not need changing, or complete overhauls, but i at least think it would be for the best, but a lot of the stuff i think would be best seems to, ultimately, not be. And while this would effect, to some degree, the entire community, yet i only named the admins to sort out the history, i believe that would be best, considering not only have they been here MUCH longer then many of us, but they probably know most of it too. Now the reason i mention this is cause even with that said, i feel a few none-admins should assist if this were to actually happen were willing to, of course. Those regular members being, Mik, Mooney, and Eli, Possibly, and they Yuki and Drake has well, i dunno. not sure how long They've been here, just know its longer them me. Major events like Corellia, The takeover of the jedi temple, the reformation of the empire, how many times it fell and rose, the thingy that happened at Myrkr. Pretty much any event that has had, or will have, a major impact on worlds, factions, species, or a multitude of beings, as in hundreds of thousands, millions, billions, or trillions, should be recorded. And with that...i believe i've said everything i can think of for the time being, so i'm ready for the reasons this wont work now.  |

This actually sounds like a really, really good idea. It would make it easier for newer people to fit in aswell, because they'd atleast know the key events that have already happened.

This is a fantastic Idea. The Timeline can be a thread in the Newswire, and Each post can tell of an event with information and facts in cornological order leading up to now.

They died with the mik that actually wanted to do Star wars and keep everything star wars and RP the original three trilogy. <.< Now we just have crazy old mik's who grumble about the good ol days and go off to fight deceptodroids! |

He's become what he despised! xD No, but seriously though, it's funny you mention this. Not two weeks ago maybe I had just begun putting together a time-line of events. It's not a terrible idea. The only problem is figuring out whose history we're putting on the there? My characters? Yours? Everyone's? No ones? |

Now i had actually thought about that to some degree last night. My assumption would be that if have a timeline it would be from the point of view of the public eye, perhaps certain events, like the things that happened eons ago on Tishi, would need to be an exception, but the majority of it would be the events, from a neutral standpoint, accompany by the important players in said event.
Not every member's character(s) can or should be included, i'll be the first one to say that i don't feel anyone i have have made a strong enough impact on history to deserve a spot. But someone like Cain, Malum, Jor, Zilfer, they've become, or were, important figures in a war. Seres Fairbrook for example, is the new head of the feds,so she should at least get mentioned, and depending on her performance, it'd go from there.
But ultimately it would be from the public view of the events, not an empiric one, or an Federal one. However in conclusion it is ultimately your decision considering it'd be you putting it together.

I mean i know Cain has the trademark on the Empire name but lets be serious for a second. He's not the emperor of the Galactic Empire, he's the Emperor of Naruto Land with a side of Final Fantasy and some KOTOR sprinkles on top. I just see the addition of a set time line as yet one more constriction. You want to make things easier for noobs? Make them have to read less, not more. |

This wouldn't just benefit noobs, Mik. This has the potential to help every member on site, old or new, if they cared enough to actually look through the history. That way someone, like Zilfer, wont have to go pointing out historic facts to members so that this mushy time frame we have stays in some resemblance of order. I mean, i would love to actually definitively, discover how many empires there's been, i hear its happened several times, but does anyone know exactly how many?
The idea really was never meant for noobs, not when i posted it, Noobs will do what noobs do regardless, we can only try and steer them on the right path. At least if this were in place they wouldn't think we were pulling this stuff out of our asses, it'd be somewhere on site and therefore they have no excuse.

We've had the evil empire lead by cain 4 or 5ish times by now. it's a very old, very done to death story and i was hoping this would be the last time. Alas it is not so.
Except we are pulling this stuff out of our asses.
Zilfer wouldn't have to point out historical inaccuracies at all if there was no time line.

Well Cain, why not (not sure if you did it or not) just post different updates every week or so like you did on the other site. Isn't that exactly like a time line that is constantly updated instead of having to go back and write all the history...

Except we are pulling this stuff out of our asses. But at least if we pulled it out of our asses once, and kept it out of them, they couldn't claim we're making it up just to fuck with them. Zilfer wouldn't have to point out historical inaccuracies at all if there was no time line. So you're proposing no timeline whatsoever, One guy can come from the original trilogy, have known luke skywalker, fought Vader, all of that, while another could have been from an even more distance future, been in the fel empire, known all about that, and another dude could be from the Mandalorian wars from this time, yet be placed only just after them? Pretty much let any person's own timeline exist without boarders, or am i overdoing exactly what that statement intended to convey. |

We've got ships from every era, we've got weapons and equipment from every era. but we've stopped short at people. We did it before and it worked pretty well. If someone wants to say they trained in Luke Skywalkers Jedi Praxium, why shouldn't they be able too? If someone wants to say they were an emperor's hand? why shouldn't they. We even had Darth Vader on the site for a while (*breaths* *breaths* breaths*). |

I just see the addition of a set time line as yet one more constriction. You want to make things easier for noobs? Make them have to read less, not more. you are one sad sad little man. xD Cain is the emperor of ancient Sith. Currently the story line Cain has only taken over the galaxy once, and as for the accuracy of Cain in the past histories having taken over the galaxy and did the empire deal there wasn't too much there. your deceptodroids, yours and Drakes characters I consider far removed from the star wars galaxy. No i'm not talking about the floating brain either. I'm quite sure you don't take this place with any degree of seriousness. It's supposed to be fun yes.... but it's not fun when the originality is flushed out! xD To Rag: what your proposing is far too complicated I think. For example, your Gamov meanting that I did. It was a small event that mostly Gall took care of, There was no interaction with other people. Something hardly i should think would make it include worthy on a plot line. If we included that, would we include someone who has randomly given out 1,000,000 to everyone on coruscant, or the man who magically invented one of the ships in the ship yards that we sell. There's a bunch of things that are note worthy that could invalidate people writing profiles. I don't think the timeline would solve the problem like you are proposing though I'm not totally against a time line idea. |

We've just gotten less creative with names. as for taking things serious... i'm supposed to take this guy serious?  come on. any second now those two guys on the balcony are going to say something mean and miss piggy is going to throw something at them. It's star wars, not international politics. |
