    First of all, I would not want to get involved if the issue did not directly concern me, but if it was related to my Master or the Jedi Council, I feel that I would have to be involved. Then, I would try my best to show my Master that irregardless of the issue, the Council was acting in the best interests of the galaxy as a whole.

    Finally, getting my Master to see the consequences of any future action they would take, would hopefully make them think the issue through and also see that if they took drastic action to solve the issue, they would be straying from the Jedi way and would bring discredit upon themselves, myself and the Jedi Order also.

    Do you require some help with decorating, Master Tehanis?

    And we have a spare Christmas tree in our loft - would the Council like me to put it up and decorate it?

    @BookExogorth

    As a Padawan, witnessing my Master vocally disagree with the Council might at first have me shocked or confused. I’d imagine I’d also be nervous or anxious if my Master was attempting to pull me into the conflict. I’ll admit that I would find it difficult to not side with my Master from the outset of the argument. He or she is, after all, my mentor and perhaps closest ally.

    After quickly gathering my thoughts, I would use this moment to not only help solve the issue, but prove to both my Master and the Council that I am on the path to possessing the mind of a Jedi. I would take a step forward and state that we are meant to bring balance to the force and the life in which it binds. How are we to do this when we cannot even achieve balance within own Order?

    In this moment, I would strive to be a mediator of sorts, and I would respectfully state to my Master that pulling me into one side of a conflict is not the best solution to achieve a diplomatic resolution. I would then go on to reiterate both sides of the conflict to assure that everyone is on the same page and no details were missed. Then, I would ask questions in an attempt to encourage further discussion on each conflicting point.

    I am not naive enough to think that the issue could be solved within that particular meeting, but, as Padawan, I am wise enough to know that issues must be looked at objectively and within the framework of bringing balance. I would try to bring these notions to the forefront of the discussion.

    Anouncement (delayed because of DRL):

    Because of @ConservativeJedi321's promotion to the rank of master, the council has given me the position of Caretaker of the Enclave! I hope to do as well as him in helping initiates and guarding our candy.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    Points for the initiate task: five points for @Blargxcntrl, three points for @Gembo.
    (@Adalia-Durron) @Kyber Acyk I don't think I can award points to you anymore, but I appreciate the task.

    *raises an eyebrow then smiles*

    Actually, my sister Jedi, we were planning to offer you the position even before CJ321 completed his Master trials. The timing just happened to coincide so that it made even more practical sense once he also was offered a seat on the Council. You earned the position based on your merit and skill alone in fulfilling that role even before you received the official title. ;)

    My congratulations to you. The new Force potentials are in good hands. :ben:

    @WarmNyota_SweetAyesha

    Select a moment between a Master & padawan depicted in either the films, TV shows or books that represents what you feel to be a good example of how such a partnership should be. Share your reasons why and any relevant image you may find with your post.

    @Ananta Chetan

    I love Mara Jade in the "let's get real" mode in Vision of the Future [face_laugh] She wasn't literally a Jedi yet but she could tell Luke a thing or two about using the Force indiscriminately and not depending upon other intuitive skills. :cool: Then in Dark Tide I, Onslaught, [face_love] even in the midst of a dire situation on Dantooine and fighting that krelling disease, she was able to mentor Anakin Solo brilliantly. (I always liked him more than Jacen anyway.) :p

    Mara exemplifies a no-nonsense pragmatic approach that I adore. She doesn't tap dance around anything. She commands respect and in the midst of a fast paced situation you don't have time to give longwinded philosophical rationales. Those can come later, LOL after the dust settles. ;)

    ~~~~!!!!

    Congratulations to all who've just gotten promoted here. =D= @};-

    This is a little gem of a fan film, chock-full of wisdom and invaluable lessons for every aspirant. Give it a watch and share in detail what you have learned IC and also be ready to answer any follow-up questions we may have. ;)

    @WarmNyota_SweetAyesha 3 pts for your previous task.

    @Bardan_Jusik pts

    I think I've seen you assign that before. Is this a general task?

    You're correct. I believe I assigned it back when the first wave of padawans came to the rebooted GoL.

    No, but I can make it one, if you like. ;)

    Well, I would kind of like that. You didn't have any header, so I wondered. :)
