[quote=@Bishop] So, we're supposed to be present in the meeting? Or we all start our own way and gm/co-gm arranges how we meet? [/quote] Those that have a reason to be in the meeting, to be part of the Imperial Ruling Council, can be present. In the first place this opening post serves as the gun-shot at a running race. Those that do not, carve out their own stories. This can be done in a number of ways. We're not going to hold your hands and provide an overarching plot insofar as that it defines everything you do. You are all aware of what is going on in the galaxy, from the OOC to the post. However, if you do want an active influence on our part, suggest plotlines, twists, scenes etc. I cannot possibly cover everything going on in the SW galaxy with every lovely character you guys made in a single post. You're encouraged to interact with one another and write your own stories. Strike out with someone else, on your own, with a small group of people. We've provided the canvas, now paint yourself on it (according to the basic principles of mutual enjoyment). [b][i]Short answer:[/i][/b] you start your own way. The GM/Co-GM does not need to arrange how you ALL meet. Some of you might not meet one another at all. It's up to you. If needed we'll act as arbitrators or story-telling bridges.
