8.2 - Jedi EC provides you more freedom with RP, you decide how you negotiate and when you fight. However if the event is being drawn out for too long by leaping around or long negotiations the EP may ask you to speed things up or force combat.

BREAKING ANY OF THE RULES WILL RESULT IN WARNINGS, KICKS OR BANS. JUST BECAUSE SOMETHING ISN’T WRITTEN IN THE RULES DOESN'T MEAN IT'S NOT DETRIMENTAL TO THE RP, USE COMMON SENSE. STAFF HAVE FINAL SAY ON WHAT THEY THINK IS VALID REASONING, IF YOU DISAGREE WITH A STAFF MEMBER ON THEIR DECISION THEN YOU MAY CONTACT A MEMBER OF SMT.
