GJW XII: Discord

Diplomatic negotiations between the Severian Principate and the Brotherhood have been thrown into disarray with the surprising appearance of the Collective. With the Collective moving to frame the Brotherhood through system-wide attacks and bombings, the Brotherhood and Principate teeter at the edge of War.

Chaos has taken hold in the Lyra system. Out of this chaos can come many things, from stability and alliance, to chaos and war - and your actions will determine the fate of the Brotherhood and the Principate!

Discord is Dark Brotherhood Vendetta Event, running from July 20th to August 26th.

Event Phases

• Phase I of the Great Jedi War runs from July 20 until August 5

• Phase II of the Great Jedi War runs from August 10 until August 26

Participation

Competitions in each Phase are divided into competition types, or 'bins'. The first time a member participates in a competition within a Phase's bin, that member is awarded the participation points associated with that bin. In addition, members earn bonus participation points by participating in at least one competition in each bin.
Phase I and Phase II will each grant an additional 3 participation points for completing all bins in a phase, while the Event Long Phase will grant an additional 4 participation points. Individual competitions still award seals and credits, and members that place will earn placement points and Novae if placing in the top three.

Theaters and Theater Combatants

Theaters are key locations where the most intense fighting in the Lyra system is occurring. The three Theaters are the Lyra Colony and associated ruins, the Moon of Thillon and particularly the mining facility therein, and the Thuvis Shipyards. More detailed information on theaters are available in fiction updates and in the prompt for the Event Long run-on competition.

In addition to usage in the run-on, we have started a voluntary program called Theater Combatants. As described previously, members may volunteer one of their characters to be present at a specific Theater for the use of other writers. This is not binding to the volunteer (that is, they can write the character anywhere), and they are not bound by what is done to the character by other authors. However, writers are free to use any Theater Combatants in any encounter within a Theater they write.

Placement and Hero Titles

• Clans earn points when members participate in competition types/bins or when members place in a competition. In accordance with the directives governing Vendetta Events in the Brotherhood, the Clan with the most points at the conclusion of Great Jedi War XIII will be named First Clan of the Brotherhood, while the Clan with the second and third most points will be Second Clan and Third Clan, respectively.

• The top three individuals earning the most points in Great Jedi War XIII will be awarded War Hero titles. Members with tie scores will be broken following an Olympic-style Novae and placement ranking.

• The rules for placement in individual sub-competitions are covered within their descriptions below.

• The weight for placement of each competition is described within the competition.
