I'm sorry to hear that, but those things (most of them at the very least) cannot be changed.. Let's just hope he doesn't see the DJO -Tal

I understand, but it won't make a difference...I know.  Cult is Cult to him.  That is all. ------------------- Adept Cosmic

I agreeing with Cosmic, im not in the Dark Jedi Order and im not gunna be, no offense but ill never be, but Cult, Cabbel, and Sect are words that dont need to be used, use another word, it doesnt matter how responsible it is used but look back on the history of cults and sects, its not pretty and i can see why Cosmic's Father might not be happy, ifi had kids and i didnt know what it was all about then i prob would check it out before i let them join. I dont think Dark Lord is bad however it is used throughout the SW Movies however u dont see Cult, Cabbel or Sect in any of them do you. So you got my vote Cosmic. ------------------------------ ***Master*** Fallen Angels Terrorist Pilot  And most of all Worshipped Among Women on every planet in the known universe.

That really wasent what i was on about, but i agree with what Viper said too, i was more intrested in the used of those words, but yea Dark Jedi isnt the best thing to follow anyway, we not teach both Light and Dark or something, i dont know. Theres my 2 cents.

The idea here is not a moral issue on right or wrong names for VEDJ members. We play a role...the role and names of our groups match those described in actual Star Wars books, therefore thats what we use.  I'm highly against changing the names of the groups, I admit they do sound bad, but thats the role we're playing... We are Dark Jedi, devoted to evil...need I say more

We're not debating your right to be evil.  Heck, look at the FA(actaully, now that I think about it, we're really not that evil, we've got decent morals, we just do the good things in a psychotic way...).  What we're contesting is your insistance that everyone who joins has to be evil.  The FA would sincerely like to join a Jedi group, but we refuse to join the dark side, or evil, or whatever.  Go ahead, keep the Sith and Krath, just start up another group for those who prefer Jedi, would that really be all that hard?

lol...that has almost nothing to do with the words he's talking about...but thats ok

Lol argon now i know you're not religious. I think you have pretty much the same view on religion as me Cosmic seriously...no offence to your dad, but he seems to have some very ignorant views.

Whew. This is a pretty rough debate going on here. I know I'm relatively new to the Empire, but I thought I'd throw in my two cents as well. Where did someone all of a sudden come to the conclusion that Empire = Evil ? Not everyone in the Empire, in the New Order, was evil. Just because Palpatine was an evil madman does not mean every Imperial soldier was dark and menacing. Look at Admiral Piett, for instance. Did he seem sadistic? Or look to the books. Grand Admiral Thrawn was not necessilary evil. Pter Thanas was a really good guy. And I've always thought that Pelleaon is one of the most noble characters in the Star Wars Universe. Come on, guys. Lighten up on the whole Dark Jedi thing. Who says that the Empire has to have Dark Jedi, Sith, and Krath running around? Couldn't this New Order, although not exactly a peaceful Utopia, be run simply by Jedi? Albeit, Jedi who don't mind using their powers in whatever way necessary . . . All of the Empire was not about evil. Look at Darth Vader, in the end. That's what the whole damned story is about - how good wins out over bad in the end. If you continue to hold on to old traditions by keeping the DJO so secret, culty, and dark, you are going to scare away a lot of people. And you are going to lose a lot of new members. I think the Fallen Angel's have a very nice idea. The only problem is that you don't want every squad and squadron in VE to have their own little contingent of Jedi running around. I don't know what to ask you to do. But the Vast Empire is growing. And growth demands change. Please ... let's be an Athens, not a Sparta. Follow the majority will and at least look into what they are saying. Take some time out to listen to your fellow members ... and respect their views. That is all I have to say about that. Goodnight, all. -Darkhawk-

Im starting to really like this topic, so ill add a few more cents to it. The Dark Side is evil, the Empire isnt. Many Imperial's served because it was something they belived in, Grand Admiral Thrawn for example, i serve the Empire becuase of that reason, also cause they have cooler ships but thats not the point. The Dark Side Jedi and Light Side Jedi may not work totally together, but there is nothing wrong with two parts to the VE's Jedi Group. Understanding is the key Im not going to go out there and kill lots of Innocent people just cause i serve the Empire, also i am not going to go out there and kill as many Dark Jedi as i can find just cause i serve the Light. A Light Jedi uses his Saber and fights only as a last resort. In all the fics i wrote, i dont go hunting for Dark Jedi, they usually attack me. I will not serve the Dark Side just to keep my saber, take it and ill just make another one, take that and ill steal it back. If there was a Light Side VE Jedi group, then i would join it.

Having an "undestanding" between Light and Dark wouldn't not make any difference in the VE about the Dark and Light Jedi Orders.  Having them both would totally disregard about what this club is all about.  We are Imperial, and true, we are not "evil", but we do things not Totally "Light".  We search for Rule and Power.  We want Control.  The Empire may not be very evil, but there is a difference between the Imperials and Rebels.  The Rebels are pure lighties, the Imperials have Power, and want it, therefore we will always be a little dark.

You may think I am evil. I am not. I am efficient. I serve my Master and the glorius Sith Tradition. We are no less powerful for being hidden. We grow in the darkness. We gain strength from it. -Darth Maul- As you can see, in his first paragraph of his first entry, of his Journal Lord Maul clearly puts into place his veiw of the Force. The Sith seek power, and control, and order. That is our ultimate goal. The Jedi seek peace, and serinity. What is their goal? Peace, no matter how nobal the goal, is impossible to reach, without ORDER! Now, I am a Christian, and I have a deep intrest in the philosophes of hindu, and buddahism. I in no way consider myself an 'evil' person. Witch is exactly the reason I am in the Vast Empire. The best actors, and preforms know that in order to play your best role you must play an oppisite role to what you are in real life. Hence I am (in my own eyes at least) a 'good' person. So I play an 'Evil' person in the Vast Empire. The Krath, and the Sith of the Vast Empire are not evil, and if you noticed, dark Jedi Masters have both light and dark powers. We study both sides, both arts. The word 'Dark' is who we are, we cannot change that - that would be changeing everything about star wars. Either you are on the light side, or the dark side. We are no less powerful for being hidden. We grow in the darkness. We gain strength from it.
