My friends of the Jedi Order, tonight you may have been concerned by a display that took place in our own chat room. A number of Ashla members were present, and I ordered them all banned from the room, banned from the site, deleted from the roster. I am sorry if it seemed sudden and uncoordinated, but I assure you we had reason, and the decision was not made lightly.
In today's Council Meeting, Ashla Master Fenoran invited me to a private chat room with the rest of the Ashla Council. After our own meeting was done with, Masters Vynn, Sune, and myself went to this Ashla Meeting. When we arrived, Fenoran began the meeting with some statements about how our Guilds were both expanding, and that none of us have any ill-will of each other. At this moment, we became suspecting. Ashla has been dying. There was only one reason they would lie about it. They suggested that the Jedi Order and the Order of Ashla, merge together as one. My thoughts at this point; Ashla has more Councilors than we do, they would outnumber our Council. And if we destroyed the GM and MOTO positions like they suggested, we would be at their mercy. Ashla is nearly dead, their Council makes up most of their active members. They have nothing to offer us except chiefs. Too many chiefs and not enough indians, the worst situation for the power hungry. So we suspected they wanted our "indians". Then they told us that they had already decided who would be allowed in the Council in this New Guild. Completely contradive. Needless to say, we declined their offer politely, and took our leave. After our retirement to our own chambers, I decided to log in and out quickly to see what Ashla had said after we took our leave. Things like, "whatever, theyre dying i say we just let em" "this is not over, we'll just start stealing their members".
Their desperation both during the meeting and after the meeting tell me that they are on the losing end here, they need us and our blood. For the good of the Jedi Order, and to keep us on the right track that we have been now set, Ashla is banned, and they have unofficially declared war.
