Mad78 Posted June 17, 2005 Share Posted June 17, 2005 So you want to get a lower rank at 2000 http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a359/Mad78/Palpycard.gifhttp://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a359/Mad78/Spamkinguserbarcopy.jpgCLICK HERE IT IS VERY IMPORTANT!!!Click here is you like Trance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grand_Admiral_Thrawn Posted June 17, 2005 Share Posted June 17, 2005 Well, since Warlord is really more of a title than a rank... Anyhow, I'm a Grand Admiral by name, so by rank only makes sense . I really can't think of any other title/position I'd rather have. History is on the move, Captain. Those who cannot keep up with it will be left behind, to watch from a distance. And those who stand in our way will not watch at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grand_Admiral_Thrawn Posted June 17, 2005 Share Posted June 17, 2005 Hmm, maybe . I'm a little torn, however. I like the whole Sith Lord bit, but I also like "being" a Grand Admiral. I might have to go with Grand Admiral for the rank and devise some sort of avatar that connects Grand Admiral with Sith Lord. History is on the move, Captain.

Skynxnex Posted June 17, 2005 Share Posted June 17, 2005 For some reason I have problems envisioning Thrawn as a Grand Admiral of the Sith. I think 'Grand Admiral' in itself is good enough, on the other hand this is because I think Thrawn is one of the best imperial 'villains' to have ever been written into a book. http://img30.echo.cx/img30/2519/yodavspals4fr0gi.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grand_Admiral_Thrawn Posted June 17, 2005 Share Posted June 17, 2005 The nice thing about Thrawn was that he really wasn't "evil" per-se, he was just very strait forward when it came to getting what he wanted. His goal was to preserve the Empire (though I guess the Empire was evil). I really think of him as the Rommel of the Empire. History is on the move, Captain.

SOCL Posted June 17, 2005 Share Posted June 17, 2005 The nice thing about Thrawn was that he really wasn't "evil" per-se, he was just very strait forward when it came to getting what he wanted. His goal was to preserve the Empire (though I guess the Empire was evil). I really think of him as the Rommel of the Empire.Funny; I wrote a letter to Timothy Zahn not too long ago and in his reply he detailed that Thrawn had been based off of Rommel, as well as Robert E. Lee, Hannibal Barca, and Alexander. GAT, I would actually be a little disappointed if you got anything else other than Grand Admiral. What I think you should do, though, is not use the Grand Admiral rank used by this site, instead use the alternate one. Check this site out...I wanted to load the Technical Commentaries, but as usual, TFN is down right now (their server goes down, then comes back every few minutes or so). Regardless, that Wikicities site is a great resource and that link I gave you has information based off of Dr. Saxton's site.

DarthTex Posted June 17, 2005 Share Posted June 17, 2005 The title "Grand Admiral" does have some nostalgic history to it. You could "borrow" from the Vong and try "Supreme Admiral". Finally, after years of hard work I am the Supreme Sith Warlord! Muwhahahaha!! What?? What do you mean "there's only two of us"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grand_Admiral_Thrawn Posted June 17, 2005 Share Posted June 17, 2005 I don't know, I think I like the "real" Grand Admiral insignia. The other just looks too much like all the other Imperial ranks. What makes Grand Moff and Grand Admiral so cool looking (insignia wise) is that they use the yellow squares, whereas that alternate Grand Admiral insignia uses only the standard red and blue. Maybe the alternate insignia should be used for the regular forum rank (thus keeping all of the ranks with the blue and red) and keep the "Thrawn version" (with the yellow) for those who choose to take that rank at 2000? History is on the move, Captain. Those who cannot keep up with it will be left behind, to watch from a distance. And those who stand in our way will not watch at all.

Grand_Admiral_Thrawn Posted June 19, 2005 Share Posted June 19, 2005 Yes, this more precisley (sp?). I think it works well to keep continuity with the look of the ranks. That site seems to think that the rank insignia Tarkin used, as well as the most common Grand Admiral insignia are of the same type as those used in ANH. While I dissagree with this, it at least provides us with an alternative set of rank insignia. History is on the move, Captain. Those who cannot keep up with it will be left behind, to watch from a distance. And those who stand in our way will not watch at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Scathane Posted December 16, 2005 Share Posted December 16, 2005 I'm out of it for a while and NObody gets delusions of grandeur?! Whats this?! Okay, so Trej hit 5,000 (btw, congrats, Trej; we should talk about that rank extra that E suggested I come back with as soon as someone hit 5K) and Mad is roughly 4,500, big deal... I've been away for how long? And my post count is still ranked third?! I'm ashamed of you all!!! Well..., er, that and I rather felt I should point this out to you as the H.O.U.S. of this site. P.S. - Trej, race you to 10K?
