Battle Idea/ Jedi Swicth IssuesBattle
Well i know about the diffrent ranks and stuff but the most active members are superduper high ranking members like counsel members and the emporor of the sith but there are still n00by people with low ranks like Divarin that can't rp at all without the pre-battle result. like a jedi knight deegre 2 would crush the Jedi Knight Deegre 1 no matter what. it would be a better fight then youngling aganist Councel member but it still has the same results. also MoDs and Admins might agree to this system becasue lesser ranking jedi, sith and everything else would useally not really want to battle you or anyone with a higher rank. you would want to battle a fellow force sensitive. i could go on but i think i've made my point.
Now this battle idea has a glimer of hope to thouse people and it's fairly simple. basiclly when lets say a counsel member and a Knight deegree 4 fight. it wouldn't be
| Quote: | | Hagrid (knight) threw his lightsaber at Spider-man (Counsel member) in one of his more sucessful throw. he congradualted himself but didn't get too cocky knowing the older jedi would have more to offer |
| Quote: | | Spider-man easlly blocked the lightsaber and taunted Hagrid saying "Ha! is that all you got? i didn't even brake a sweet!" he did a force push and threw the pathitic hagrid aganist the wall knocking him out cold. |
I'm not saying admins and mods god-mode like depicted but they may as well do that. i'm just trying to say sorta that weaker members aren't like stormtroopers. there charicter deseves to have a way to have someway of winning even if slim. i'm not saying i think a FS should be able to fight a MoD like there skills are on Par but the MoD should still fight as if they are Anakin Skywalker fighting Asji Ventress. give them some skill compared to you. i know agruments will happen but still this is something experinced newbies could get into and let use keep mpre members like Shadowninja00 who left becasue he couldn't find anyone that wouldn't obliterate him. so just give em' a chance.

This won't take as long and is simple. i think that if you were a jedi master then whent to the dark side and then came back you should keep your old rank and not be a FS. easy simple. my ranting ideas are now done

1st I don't even understand what you meant, maybe it was grammar, maybe you just weren't clear, but if I understand you, you want Mods and Council Members to try their hardest against new people? 
2nd sounds good, I thought that was what we had.

1 no but lol
2 yes
what i was saying make ranking just mean power. let a youngling beat an apprentice or a knight beat a master. even a knight stand a chance aganist a counsel member

This is largely what we have now.
Your character's rank isn't based off your forum rank.
There are two exceptions.
1. If there is a canon character taking up the slot you want (IE: Jedi Council Members are an easy example,) you can't have a canon character of that rank in that time period. This doesn't prevent you from playing a Jedi Master however - which is largely the same "power level."
2. If the roleplay creator says "everyone play your forum ranks (or lower)" well, that's that for that roleplay. You'll need to create a new character if your "main" character is above that rank at the time of the roleplay.

This is somewhat what we have now. If a switched member wants to rejoin the Jedi Order - Council Members vote on what rank he should return with. In general, it's been 1-5 ranks lower than they left the Order with.
This system does not affect Sith switching to Jedi and back to Sith, since the Sith control their own ranks. I have no idea how they handle switchers.

And besides, we've never said a Knight CAN'T beat a Master, just that it'd be very hard to do without God-Modding. Very hard, not impossible.

A Knight could defeat a Jedi Master if their roleplaying skills were better, their tactics were better and/or their executed a move that wouldn't permit the Master to continue fighting.

Yeah, exactly.
I still don't understand what the first idea was suggesting though... You say to let rank just mean power, which is already what it is.

what i thought was that if a Knight deegree 1 fought a knight deegree 2 that deegree 2 would no matter what win but i guess i was mistaken.

We shackle them to a Mig-29, and go through the sound barrier with them on the side of the jet engine as they smell there burning flesh. Then we land them in a pile of salt and watch as there wounds sizzle with the saltyness of salt. Then we behead them infront of there lawyer, and threaten his family if you try to sue.

Well, yeah. Duh.
But then after those standard operating procedures, what rank is the beheaded re-Sith given? That was the real question

Emperor imo.

Anakin

Well I agree with the whole conversion thing to Sith and Jedi, but if we don't use our forum rank for character rank, how do we determine what rank our character is? A noob can just say he has a ultimate elder master.

Moderation of that is mostly up to topic creators.
For instance, if you made a roleplay that you wanted to be forum canon - and a new member came along and said they were the Grand Master of the Jedi Order, but the roleplay is set in a time period where Abba is defined as the Grand Master, you could (politely) request that they choose a different character if they want to play in your roleplay. If they still persist then ask a mod/admin for help solving the situation (which, if you've already requested they change their character, will usually be simply deleting all of their posts from the roleplay.)
If THEY are the topic creator and say they're the Grand Master of the Jedi Order in a time period where that slot is obviously filled - well, it won't become forum canon, but there's nothing preventing them from playing that way in their own roleplay.
The roleplay creator always has the option of saying "play a character matching your forum rank" in their initial post, if they DO want hard-set restrictions in place.
The main reason we don't force all roleplays to be this way is because new members (Mortalis is a decent example) have prior roleplaying experience. There's no reason to restrict them to playing a Jedi Adept when they're perfectly capable and responcible enough to play a Jedi Knight or Master. In those cases, hopefully the Jedi Council will recognize their ability and promote them up to a rank roughly matching their abilities, maturity, and contributions to the forum - as quickly as possible.
