It's not like you have anything else to do... you should be able to make GM at the new level in a couple of weeks...

Another possibility is this Challenge thing if it can be got off the ground. I'm sure you could produce some interesting stuff. Or answer it.
Perhaps we could have initiation questions for the Grand Master level. Things like "What is the Harry Potter connection?" or "Who is Bernard"......
(This decaff's been spiked with ProPlus. I swear it has......)

I was wondering when, eventually, would someone ask that question:
Yatiri are medical practitioners and community healers among the Aymara of Bolivia, Chile and Peru. |
And this fits into the Star Wars genre how???

In the same way that 'Grand Poobah' does... or 'Chevalier' or 'Journeyman'...
I.e. not at all.
This is all just for fun! Let's keep having fun with it!

A Jedi knight has a bigger lightsaber than a jedi, who only fights slightly bad people.
And we decided all the Jedi Masters would automatically be elected to the Jedi Council. We're going to be an oligarchy.

Yes, sure. Here is the current table used:
0-9 Newbie
10+ Novice
25+ Apprentice
50+ Acolyte
75+ Voyager
100+ Centurion
150+ Disciple
200+ Master
300+ Partisan
400+ Chevalier
500+ Knight
600+ Yatiri
700+ Shaman
800+ Sentinel
900+ Guardian
1000+ Grand Master
1500+ Padawan
2000+ jedi
2500+ Jedi Knight
5000+ Jedi Council
7500+ Poobah
10k+ Grand Poobah
20k+ Grand High Poobah |
I guess the only problem I see with this is that there are so many unrelated ranks that nobody is going to gather much from the meaning of some of them without this list to guide them. Maybe we need to post this list somewhere. BTW, in Star Wars, I believe a jedi and a jedi knight were same thing!

Gotta love wikipedia!

Jedi ranks
Members of the order progressed through four to six tiers of rank, sometimes referred to as levels.
Jedi Student / Youngling / Initiate: An unofficial title, this refers to a child with Force potential. (Also referred to as "Jedi Hopeful.") More accurately, Youngling is Galactic Basic slang for children of any sort. At a very young age, the Jedi initiates leave their homes and are assigned to a group for training. If a youngling is not chosen by any Jedi Knight or higher ranking Jedi to be their padawan apprentice by 13 years of age, the youngling is placed into another, lesser role in the Jedi Service Corps. Depending on where the student's talents lay, this may be the Agricultural Corps, the Medical Corps, or the Exploration Corps. A youngling is given a training lightsaber, less powerful than an ordinary one. It is revealed in Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones that the children train in small groups under the guidance of a teacher (such as Yoda) before their master is chosen and they become a padawan. [6]
Jedi Apprentice / Padawan Learner: A young Jedi that undergoes intensive one-on-one training under a Jedi Knight or Jedi Master after graduating from the academy. As tradition a padawan of any species with hair grows a long strand of braided hair that is finally cut off during the ceremony of knighthood, when a Padawan becomes a Jedi Knight. A Jedi may have only one apprentice at a time, and is required to promote the current apprentice before taking another. However, this idea was scrapped in a way by Luke Skywalker due to the severe shortage in actual Jedi, as mentioned in Star Wars: Jedi Academy. Padawan is the name of a small town in Sarawak, Malaysia.
Jedi Knight: Disciplined, experienced Jedi may become full-fledged Jedi Knights once they have completed "the trials", which are usually intensified tests, physical and otherwise, of candidates' skills, knowledge and dedication. The known trials are, but aren't limited to: the Trial of Flesh, the Trial of Courage, the Trial of Skill and the Trial of Self (also known as "facing the mirror"). Master Yoda gave his apprentice Luke Skywalker the trial of confronting Darth Vader for a second time in order to become a full-fledged Jedi. Occasionally, performing an extraordinary (usually heroic) act can earn a Padawan learner Jedi Knight status, such as when Obi-Wan Kenobi, toward the end of his training, defeated the Sith Lord Darth Maul during the Battle of Naboo. Jedi Knight is the most common rank of Jedi, hence, the title is also used, mostly by non-Jedi, to refer to any member of the order that has at least met the compulsory requirements of the Jedi Council. Becoming a Jedi takes the utmost strength of mind, knowledge of the Force, and skill with a lightsaber.
Jedi Master: A Jedi Knight may become a Master after successfully training a Padawan learner to Knight status. Though this is the most common manner, it is not always the case. If the council sees that a Jedi Knight has become more powerful and has gained more knowledge and discipline in the Force, then they can be nominated by one or more council members to take the trials again. But this time, the trials will be more difficult. It should also be said that most Jedi Masters, like Qui-Gon Jinn and his Master Dooku, never become members of the Council, as it is not a requirement to be a Master. The rank can also be achieved through the performance of extraordinary deeds or self-proclamation, though it is extremely rare.
Jedi Council Member: When a Jedi Council Member vacates their seat, the council looks for an exceptional Jedi Master to fill the empty position. Presiding Council members elect prospective candidates when openings become available. In some texts, the Council has a few Knights in its membership (such as Ki-Adi-Mundi) "to give a different perspective"; however, most references were removed in preparation for Revenge of the Sith, as Anakin's position on the council, but lack of promotion to Master, was a point of contention, as it was at the request of Supreme Chancellor Palpatine. While there are no explicit ranks among the Jedi Council (as it is, at least theoretically, a conclave of equals), there are clear centers of authority. According to the Dorling Kindersley guide to Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace, some members were permanent, or lifetime, members, while the rest served limited terms, after which they stepped down and another member would be elected to the Jedi council.
Grand Master / Supreme Master / High Master: Formally Grand Master of the Jedi Order, only the highest-ranking Jedi Masters took the title, although how exactly one earned it is unknown. The Grand Master was apparently the "first among equals" of the Jedi High Council, or the later Masters' Council.Yoda and Luke Skywalker were both Grand Masters.
