I'm trying to get a sense of the popularity of such an idea. Essentially, we would be helping each other improve our skills with the saber, collectively, with one person leading the discussion regarding the topic that is being covered that particular day.

I always thought it was a great idea... They do it at the Jedi Academy... and it's always good... cause we all know that some people are just better at it... and we need some of their tricks to get them once in a while smile.gif


Jokes aside... I find it to be a good idea... but for those of us who will lead those discussion... or maybe organized it... it takes time, and also a quiet place to make these discussion pleasant.

A custom map should offer the peace and quiet we need, methinks. smile.gif

Yeah, what ever happened to RJ thursdays? smile.gif

Anyways, I thought about locked servers too, although sometimes the password is a hassle to give out to everyone. Unless we keep the password the same every time. Plus, that means we have to pester Jay or Rugg to lock it up every time we want to host something. Still...if we have too many lamers and unexpected visitors, we might have to.

I'm sure something could be worked out .. smile.gif

I love the idea, I know I'd go to a few seeing as how my saber's a little dull these days!

Are we thinking of these sessions being RJonly, or invitation, or open and advertised?

I think... Ky's got it... some could very well be open... and some not (RJ Only... where we would trade the deapest secret we hold on the many mysteries of the force smile.gif)

Well, I was thinking open at first, but now that Jay mentions closed discussions....

J/K lol smile.gif

I think we'll have some sessions which are closed (with select invites) while MOST sessions are open and advertised.

This sounds wonderful. If getting the server locked down or otherwise changed is a problem, let me know. I have more than enough bandwidth to accomidate people on my server.

If you need help with getting things arranged, please let me know.

While we're at it, why don't you guys start posting suggestions about what ought to be covered in these gatherings. After all, if we leave it impromptu, we won't get as much done.

Any ideas and/or requests?

Obviously, saber techniques/strategies will be discussed.. also, depending on who is there, we can bash women. (Looks at Infinite)
