    chicken45 got a reaction from DirectorEdward in Rule modification for ISB CRLs.   
    I had it in my head that we were going to wait till Andor to do “non saga/saga” like we did with the Line Officers. 
    But trooping last weekend, I had a lot of fun promoting myself from inspector general, to colonel, to director and using that to play off the kids that noticed.  
    It got me thinking, “why do we need an on screen rank for ISB?” The answer is we don’t based on being consistent with black and green tunics.  
    If someone wants to be a L3 ANH ISB with no codies and funky tunic, let them.  Let’s do a non saga ISB CRL. 
    Can we isolate V1 and V2 to “ANH ISB” and break out V3 into its own “non saga ISB” CRL?

    Yeah...it took me a hot second to figure out the forum upload thing. 
    Every photo you uploaded ever, to the forums here, counts towards that. Basically, you have to upload your pictures elsewhere and "hot link" them.

    I abstained from shaving a few days and built up enough "pre-beard" that I could experiment with some 1977 sideburns. Think Kassius Konstantine. I took a picture but the forum says its too big. That is going to be a big problem when it comes time for WIP and eventually approval. Is there something I can do better?

    As I understand it, @Imperialrebel is modifying her tunic's back to incorporate this updated information, at which point we will collect final images and prepare this CRL for submission to the LMOs.
     
    Looking forward to finally getting this one out the door!

    I'd love to see someone volunteer to suggest to Hilmir that he has to shave. 

     
    All those OT English officers have huge mod chops. Some of those are practically beards anyways.
     
    It's nautical. We'll keep the beard, we'll trim it down and shape it. It'll be decorative.

    I predate the CRLs.  I’m starting my 18th year in the Legion in January.  
    We made the best decisions with what we could see.  
    When I see the picture of this outstanding costume, we should be asking people to prove how it’s NOT accurate.  
    spoiler: they won’t be able to.  That makes it screen accurate.  The discussion should end right there since we aren’t going for “prop accuracy” like some of the amazing, but clinically insane (much love to you, Fetts!) Boba Fetts who track down original pieces and don’t use any reproduction pieces.  
     
    Look at the ANH costumes.  Those F451 things, etc.  
    The CRL can change.
    We aren’t lowering our standards.  Nobody out there in the general public gives a crap about princess seams and most of them don’t couldn’t even tell you what they are.  Approximately 98% of all non legion people I’ve asked over the years done even realize Vader’s costume was different in every movie.  You think potential seams barely visible not shown on screen on the back of a costume is what’s gonna hurt the credibility and reputation of the legion? 
    Not as much as this, quite frankly, “weird flex” attempt at elitist gate keeping.  
    Are we doing this for us, or for them? 
    Perfect is the enemy of good.

    here is the link for all to see.  While regular members cannot participate they can read all that occurs.  I recommend that you speak to your garrison commanding officers, XOs and second seats to go into this discussion and let your opinions be heard

    Thank you Bob. I have read over the discussion on the legion council now it’s been moved to public view

    It’s clear to see even here in this thread just who is working against the ioc, and against their own works.

    Thank you for your efforts on the matter. Now that a light is being shone behind those closed doors it’s no surprise as to who is working against us on this, and no surprise they wanted it hidden in closed council.
