	Acolytes of Darkness - Sith Academy Greetings my friends, followers of darkness, fallen angels, tattered and ravaged souls seeking truth and freedom; you stand before the Sith Academy of the Star Wars Community. Here you may start on the path to eternal glory, for within these walls lies the opportunity to learn the ways of the of the Sith. This academy is run by the Sith Masters before you whom will work to instill the powerful and honored traditions of the Sith, forging you into a warrior of darkness. Above them the Dark Lord of the Sith stands ever watchful and mindful of everything in his academy. By joining this order it means you serve at his pleasure and answer ultimately to him; your actions and deeds, the very thoughts in your head reflect upon this order and your Dark Lord of the Sith. With this being said, and you still wish to continue down the path towards ultimate power, towards the Dark Side, you must fully pledge yourself to the Dark Side, which includes the Code of the Sith and the rules that follow: Code of the Sith: Peace is a lie, there is only passion. Through passion, I gain strength. Through strength, I gain power. Through power, I gain victory. Through victory, my chains are broken. The Force shall free me. Rules of the Sith Academy 1.You will not post within the Jedi Trials thread without permission. The full list of rules regarding the Jedi Trials is detailed below in the section entitled Jedi Trials 2. Role playing of any sort will not be tolerated by the Masters or the moderators of the forums. If you wish to Role play, there is a perfect community here on the Jedi Council Forum called the Role Playing Forums, located here. Or, use the off-site boards when readily available. 3. No Flaming, spamming, or trolling of this or any other threads. Refer to the TOS for any questions. 4. Obey your superiors. The list of ranking is provided below. If you are a Minion, you will obey all those above you, including apprentices. If you are an apprentice, you have powers over minions, but that is it. You must be obedient to warriors, and masters. Warriors are the same, but have powers over apprentices as well. Masters are the highest ranking members of the group, and deserve respect. 5. All members must be respectful towards the Masters and respect their wisdom, but that is not to say that questions or suggestions cannot be made. In any case, the Dark Lord has the final decision in all matters. 6. Everyone, including masters must obey the word of the leader of the group, the Dark Lord of the Acolytes of Darkness. Said member is the highest ranking member of the order, and leads the faction. 7. If a moderator posts in this thread, be respectful to them. If they edit one of your posts, and you do not agree, do not take be disrespectful, and do not take it up with them in this thread. If you have a problem, send them a Private Message and take care of the situation there. Or, you may send a Master a PM with the complaint and they will handle it. Most likely, the moderators will be right. Rankings If you are accepted as a member of the Sith Academy, you will be ranked as a Sith Minion. You will have to complete a series of tasks in order to be an apprentice. Once you are done with these tasks, you will then be a minion until a master takes you on as their apprentice. The ranking is as follows: Dark Lord of the Sith: The highest ranking Sith of the Sith Academy. There is only one Dark Lord. This member will oversee the entire academy, and can give tasks to any member of the Acolytes of Darkness. Sith Masters: These members are the highest ranking Sith a normal user can become. It is extremely difficult to become a Master, only those dedicated to the ways of the Sith will be a master. They can take on more than one apprentice, and can give tasks for only their apprentices to complete, Warriors, and minions. In order to become a Master, one must complete all tasks assigned to them for a total of 75 prestige points. After this is done, your name will be submitted for review to the Council and the Dark Lord. If he deems you worthy, you will ascend to the rank of master. Sith Warrior: These members are the enforcers of the Acolytes of Darkness. They are able to take on one apprentice, and can only give tasks to that person, no one else. They, too, will be given tasks, for that is how they will advance to the rank of Master. In order to become a Sith Warrior, you must have 50 prestige points to become a Warrior along with the approval of the Council. Sith Apprentice: These members are those who are deemed worthy enough to become a part of the Sith Order. They will be given tasks by their own master/the Dark Lord to complete. You must complete the five tasks given to minions and have a master to become an apprentice. Sith Minion: These members are the lowest ranking Sith of the order. They are given tasks by Masters and the Dark Lord to attempt to advance to the rank of apprentice. They must be taken on my a Master or a warrior to do so. Training Program: All apprentices will be trained and earn points for their tasks. It will be up to the Master to keep track of the points (the apprentice can also keep track). Once an apprentice hits 40 points, the Master will present the apprentice to the Dark Lord or Lady (in this case me). I will assess the apprentice's participation in the thread discussions, the SWC itself, and give a final task that will make up 10 points. So the goal is to earn 50 points. The training should not take more than three months, and if the apprentice is going strong please feel free to move them along quickly. Bonus points will be assessed for recruiting people to the order. Tasks: Tasks are based on points which the Master will assign the value. Each task will work towards making the user a better poster, a more knowledgeable Acolyte, and having fun. This can include (but is not limited to) role playing, fan fiction write ups, knowledge questions and answers, scavenger hunts, and other SW and non-SW related activities that your Master deems necessary for your training. Duels Another way to gain prestige in the Sith Order is to win a duel. If you wish to participate in a duel, you must get it approved by a Master. Then, you will have a duel, which will not take place here, but in the Role Playing Forum in the Dueling thread. The duel will be heavily monitored, and there will be no death matches, unless otherwise said so. Death matches are rare, and can only be approved by the Dark Lord. If you wish to participate in a death match, both participants must come to the Dark Lord, and gain approval. If approved, may the best person win. Again, they are very rare. The winner of a regular duel, depending on how good the duel is, will receive up to ten points in prestige. The winner of a death match will receive up to ten prestige points with an additional ten for surviving. No members of the Acolytes of Darkness will participate in an official duel with a member of the Jedi Trials. If you wish to duel a member of the Jedi Trials, do so on your own time, and not as a member of this group. Zero Tolerance As stated in the rules, Role Playing of any sort will not be tolerated in this thread by the Masters of the Academy, or the Moderators. There is to be no duels, storylines, plots, themes or anything having to do with Role Playing in this thread/forum. As stated, there is a place for that, and all official duels are to take place at the offsite linked to below. Jedi Trials: The Jedi Trials is a group that is also hosted within the Star Wars Community. We hold a close relationship with this group and wish to coexist peacefully with one another. As such, there is a strictly enforced policy regarding the Jedi Trials. We exist to play a game in which we are rivals yes, but that is in character only, not as a real life experience. You are to follow the following rules: 1. Do not post in the Jedi Trials thread, unless given permission! This is reserved for the masters of the Jedi Trials and Acolytes of Darkness. This includes a single post, spamming, trolling in their thread, etc. Do not do it! 2. Do not flame or bait a member of the Jedi Trials for any reason what-so-ever. This includes via PM, in one of the threads and at the Off-site. 3. If a member of the Jedi Trials posts in our official thread to troll/spam/flame/bait our members, DO NOT RESPOND. Simply PM a moderator and the situation will be taken care of. 4. No member is allowed to create a sock and join the Jedi Trials. This is highly forbidden and will be strictly enforced. Mods will do sock checks regularly, and you will be caught. 5. There is to be no animosity towards a member of the Jedi Trials just because he/she is a "Jedi". If you have a problem, with member of the Jedi Trials, PM a master of the Acolytes of Darkness or the Jedi Trials, PM a moderator or PM said member and work it out. If you break any of the above rules, you will be punished, not only by the Masters of this thread, but by the Moderators as well. The following is the penalties of breaking the rules: First Offense: Lose 10 points (can be more depending on the severity of the offense) if an apprentice does it. If a Warriror does it, they have to start as an apprentice and can not use their previous work to complete their tasks. If a Master does it, they have to start over as a Warrior. If a Council Member does it, they also have to start over as a Warrior. If, for some reason, the Dark Lord does it, that member also has to start out as a Knight and a new Dark Lord will be appointed. If any rank after apprentice does it, they can no longer be allowed on the Council. 2nd Offense: Demotion from current rank. If a minion does it, they are no longer allowed within the game. If an apprentice does it, they have to restart as a minion and are not allowed to use their previous work to complete their tasks. If any higher rank does it, then they will start as a minion as well. Again, they will not allowed to be on the Council. 3rd Offense: Expulsion from the Order without question. There will most likely be mod intervention at this point as well if there was not already. Note: Rules apply at the offsite as well. Though, the punishments will be slightly altered. There will also be zero tolerance for rule breaking. If you break any of the above rules, you will be punished.

	Official Interaction with New Jedi Trials While invasions and antagonizing posting in the threads of the opposite faction is not allowed, there is a desire to have a symbiotic relationship between the two threads and to promote a healthy rivalry between them. As such, official interaction will take place between the New Jedi Trials and the Acolytes of Darkness in the following way: 1) An official interaction thread will be created every three months. This thread will be created by one of the forum moderators or by a member of one of the factions who has expressly been given permission to create the thread. 2) The official interaction thread will be used to house a series of contests between the two groups. Each thread will contain up to seven challenges. The first group to win four of the challenges will be declared the winner. The winner of each challenge will be decided by the forum moderators and/or a judging panel established by the forum moderators. The decisions are non-negotiable. 3) The winning group will receive "game host" VIPship for their Grand Master until the time of the next challenge. 4) This is the only official interaction to be done between the other two groups on the forums, unless an official RPG is started in the RPF with moderator permission. -----signature----- Sey's big brother "God has spoken, and the rest is commentary, right?"

	Pardon the intrusion.... As the New Jedi Trials' Grand Master, I just wish to say something to the members of this fine order. Should you ever have questions or concerns concerning the NTJ or any of its members, my pm box is always open. With (hopefully) increased relations between our two orders, there is likely to be something at sometime that people will wonder about. So, just wanted to say that. And, welcome back to the SWC.... even though you were gone a lot less time than we were. I wish you guys a long, and prosperous game. -----signature----- I'm here for the RPF.

Also, I am ready to begin my tasks at your earliest convienience, Master. MTDSBWY ~D1 PS: I like what Inty posted about quarterly competitions between the NJT and the AoD, that sounds like a lot of fun and a way to actually bring the Jedi/Sith rivalry into being without allowing it to get out of control.

	Fine then. Don't post in the Jedi Trials without permission, no posts, no spamming, or trolling in their thread. Don't flame or bait a member of the Jedi Trials in any form, don't respond if a member of the Jedi Trials flame or bait you, let a mod handle it. Don't create a sock to join the Jedi Trials, don't have animosity against a member because they're a part of the Jedi Trials. Don't role play in the thread, don't flame, spam or troll, obey your superiors, the Dark Lord has the final say, everyone must obey the Dark Lord, and be respectful to the mods.

	darth_nemisis posted: Read and summarize the rules. I am mainly looking at the policy concerning the Jedi Trials. Please, be read thoroughly, and be descriptive. As you wish. Role playing in this thread is not permitted. One may only post in the Jedi Trials thread if one has permission. Trolling, flaming, spamming or baiting a Jedi Trials member is not permitted. If an individual resorts to this behavior, we are not to respond or acknowledge it in any way. Instead we are to report it to the appropriate Master. We are not permitted to create a sock to participate in the Jedi Trials. There should be no ill feelings towards the Jedi. Should a conflict arise, We should seek a Master's guidance for conflict resolution. These rules must be adhered to or one will face ejection from the group. -----signature----- Uh, we had a slight weapons malfunction, but uh... everything's perfectly all right now. We're fine.

	Well done, apprentices. I hope that each of you actually understands these rules and will not break them. As stated in the opening post, there will be repercussions if those are broken. I would like each one of you that does not have a master right now to search one out. Choose from the Roster, and PM them. Anyone that is a Warrior, Master or even myself. -----signature----- ~Sith Master - Master to Trimaj~ - Acolytes of Darkness Join the Acolytes of Darkness Today http://boards.theforce.net/star_wars_community/b10012/28369757/p1/?966

	Don't worry about it. If they turn you down because they don't want more than one apprentice now, then simply ask another. There will be a master that will take you on. For now, I will give you another task: ~Explain the Sith Code. This is a continuing task of the task you performed earlier, as a minion. I want you to detail every line, explaining what each line means. Tell why you believe the code was written as it is. Explain what you think is wrong with the code, if you think anything is wrong at all. Compare and contrast it with the Jedi Code. I expect this to be well written. A PM is being sent to you as well. -----signature----- ~Sith Master - Master to Trimaj~ - Acolytes of Darkness Join the Acolytes of Darkness Today http://boards.theforce.net/star_wars_community/b10012/28369757/p1/?966
