Okay, heres my suggestions, and teaching method.
1 - Knowledge question -
When was TF.N started??
Just an easy start for the Appy.
2 - Types of Flaming, baiting question
What is flaming, baiting, trolling, what to do when a Mod picks on you, so forth. Stolen from Grant, yes, but it is useful.
3 - Essay Question
(Stolen from Old CJ missions, yes)
In this mission, you will write one essay. The essays will be at least five to six paragraphs long and contain at least three quotes and/or descriptions of scenes in the films or expanded universe.
Pick one:
*Who is the Most Powerful Jedi? *Was Anakin the one to fufill the Ancient Force Prophecy? *Theorize the identity of Jedi Master Syfo-Dias *Elaborate on any theory stated by Yoda in the films or Expanded Universe *Discuss the prudence of the tactics of the Imperial Space Fleet in the Battle of Endor *Discuss the redemption of Anakin Skywalker
4 - Post a respectable topic in the JC, anywhere, that becomes more than one page (24 posts) long.
Note, respectable - not the "Is the Sky is Blue?" or "Vader kicks Butt!"
5 - Lightsaber sparring.
I add this to the end because RPG'ing is an important element of SW and TF.N - and godmodding is a terrible problem.
There you go. It creates a knowledgable, capable, rule abiding poster than can duel or discuss if need be.
Very versatile. I wasn't sure whether to post in the "Missions" thread, so I made a new one.

Okay, first: sorry for not noticing this earlier But here are some other suggestions: *participate in a game on TF.N (examples: maffia game etc.), explain in your own words how it works and tell us afterwards if you liked it or not. *find a couple of socks and try to find out to whom they belong *find some posts which can be considered spam *explain what you'll do when you have a disagreement with a mod I'll try to remember others I once used later.

First of all, my goal is that the apprenticeship be accomplishable in a month's time. It may take longer, if the apprentice moves slow, but I'd like one mission per week, so that means 4 missions and a 5th graduation mission.
loose structure:
1- read rules/post in 3 forums you haven't before [helps you become more familiar with the boards]
2- post 3 threads in any forum, or one thread that makes it past a page (25+ responses). Basically, you get three tries. [helps you understand how to structure a good thread]
3- join a game thread/ pick a thread you don't normally post in to be a consistent presence in until the end of your training [2-3 weeks]. You may switch threads every week. [helps connect with other users]
4- join an RPG/ post a piece of fan art/ still working on this
5- write a paragraph or more about your experience/what you learned as an apprentice and how you would improve the CJ.
And the other side to this is that the master has to complete the missions, too. That way they really are doing them together. That doesn't mean the master has to inform the apprentice of all the stuff they did, but they can.

If you have any ideas for new missions, post them here! We will discuss them and the council will consider them!

How about writing a short story featuring the Crimson Jedi on some adventure in the Star Wars Universe? Member names may be used in the story but if someone's name is used, it(along with the subject matter) must be within the limits of the TOS.

IRL- answer "how are you doing" completely honestly to one person when asked.
otherwise- rep the Crimson Jedi in your sig, prominently, for a week.

How about write a poem about the Crimson Jedi. It doesn't have to be a story just something with the CJ in it.
Or answer a questionnaire about yourself.

Create icons, posters, or banners with the CJ related theme.

There aren't too many oaks in my part of town. Mostly maples, gums, walnut, evergreen and mulberry.

RL Mission Idea:
Since it's spring at most parts at the earth and flowers are growing almost everywhere: Collect some flowers (may it from the grassland or from a shop) and give it to someone who doesn't expect it. Descripe how they reacted.
On Board Mission Idea:
Lead/link someone to an onboard game, who might be interested in that kind of game for some reason (and isn't a player already). Explain the reason why he/she might be interested and link to post that includes the link. (Supporting especially games that lack of players.)

Member names may be used in the story but if someone's name is used, it(along with the subject matter) must be within the limits of the TOS. I'm particularly fond of this idea. Perhaps a truly short excerpt on a particular member? Longer, more inclusive works with multiple members or the whole Order could be used to add to a resume for Master/GrandMaster/etc.

we really need a like button, though I would probably like everything.....
but I like that!!! We definitely need input regarding the GrandMaster position, too!

Mission Idea: Spend the week posting in a thread in the EUC or Literature that you don't normally post in. Include a link to the thread and write a couple sentences about what you learned or who you met.

Mission Idea: Share a benign (non-combat / non-mission), everyday usage for your favorite Force power. Perhaps include a list with a 'no repeats' of usages to be updated. The Force power with the most usages listed by the end of the mission will be shown used by the GrandMaster in the next roster update, either by using every method listed or by showing an additional everyday usage for the power Those who shared the ideas for that force power will not be included in it's painful application while those who shared for others may

My Slightly-Awesome Mission Idea:
Pick 2 SW characters of your choice. Imagine that you could hang out with them for one full day.
Create a plan of how you would spend this day with the two characters you have selected (one plan for each character). All plans must have at least five unique entries, and must be related to the character and their personality (don't shoot the breeze with Vader about the Light Side of the Force, or give Yoda "proper" language lessons, etc.) These missions can be submitted as a simple bullet-pointed list, or can be more in-depth (can include exact time of each activity in the day).

Mitthy- I want to do that, but it is a bit complicated... we'll see how it goes bc I think it'll be the next mission. but it sounds fun! gunny- awesome! Getting some more star-wars related missions in there is a good idea, too. After all, that's why we're on the boards, to one degree or another.

Hmm. I see what you mean D-Dec. . .well it could be split into two missions. First the force power usage, and then the following week perhaps as the mission or a bonus mission have the poll vote for favorite and then your usage display As for another mission idea. Go outside, away from computer monitors and showers, and hum a SW song in public

IRL: I've spent a month reflecting on my 30 years and thanking people on facebook for being a part of my life and I had a really positive response to what I was doing. I think people were genuinely touched to be included and thought of, especially people from a long time ago so my mission for the group is to do what I did. Find someone who may have done something that meant a lot to you and thank them for it. Good vibes are not frequent enough anymore and I want to spread some good cheer.
