the_mask Posted June 12, 2003 Share Posted June 12, 2003 Umm, according to one of my favorite online comic spoofs (SevWars, http://www.sev.com.au/toonzone/) they masters are called Daft Lord of the Sith, like Daft Mule or Daft Vapor http://img147.imageshack.us/img147/5183/animated9pn.gifhttp://img146.imageshack.us/img146/1778/reloadedbannerdu8.gifhttp://www.swrebellion.com/images/banners/rebellionbanner02or6.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I must say they're both very nice! Ok, so how about... Grand Inquisitor Supreme Chancellor Well, personally, I've never really taken to the title of Supreme Chancellor... It must be the name of Valorum that almost always follows it... Grand Inquisitor is nice... but Grand Inquisitor of..... what exactly? Umm, according to one of my favorite online comic spoofs (SevWars, http://www.sev.com.au/toonzone/) they masters are called Daft Lord of the Sith, like Daft Mule or Daft Vapor And you expect me to call myself Daft Scathane???!!! I would consider Darth, but since we're only looking for a title, it would just say Darth underneath my insignia... and that would be daft!

Guest Scathane Posted June 12, 2003 Share Posted June 12, 2003 "Darth Daft" then!!! Very funny, ElvisMiggel, very funny... What does that make you, Emperor of the Farce? Grand Inquisitor of whatever it is about Star Wars that you love. What it is about SW that I love.... hmmmm...., let's see: Gamorreans....? No that's wormie! Tusken Raider babes? No, that's Elvis!

Trejiuvanat Posted June 12, 2003 Share Posted June 12, 2003 I can imagine that Elvis will be pleased with the Tusken special... We managed to make them pose with their banthas....

SOCL Posted June 13, 2003 Share Posted June 13, 2003 I say Scath should be Grand Vizier or High Praetor! I like Grand Vizier a lot more, though (and I can even get an insignia for you, Scath...if you desire an insignia from me, I'm all ears...I might even be able to get you a Rebel insignia--I know them too--if you ask). Congratulations on 2000 posts, Scath! SOCL: Putting the BE in BEAK.Read the Forum Rules - Welcome the New Members - Rebellion Reloaded - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Scathane Posted June 13, 2003 Share Posted June 13, 2003 I never was a praetorian type of guy but Grand Vizier.... Hmmm..... Does that Rank actually show up in any of the EU stories? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SOCL Posted June 13, 2003 Share Posted June 13, 2003 I never was a praetorian type of guy but Grand Vizier.... Hmmm..... Does that Rank actually show up in any of the EU stories?Indeed it does. It was the rank/title of Sate Pestage, second only to Palpatine (I think it was in the X-Wing comic books because I do not recall it in the novels). Now, by suggesting this rank I in no way mean to suggest that you would be second to Elvis, but it's a real rank/title from the EU and sounds good! Grand Vizier Scathane! I even have a rank insignia for it (in case you're interested ) .By the way, Scath, Grand Vizier is an Imperial rank/title and I know you're Rebel/Repulic...so...would you prefer for us to suggest Rebel/Republic ranks/titles?Either way, I say either go with grand vizier or supreme chancellor because those both seem to suit you perfectly.

Now, by suggesting this rank I in no way mean to suggest that you would be second to Elvis Of course not! Everybody knows that Elvis is the one with the Tusken fetish and that I am the one who provides him with the magazine (Hutt Illustrated) to saatisfy that need! but it's a real rank/title from the EU and sounds good! Grand Vizier Scathane! I even have a rank insignia for it (in case you're interested ) . Sure show me. Either way, I say either go with grand vizier or supreme chancellor because those both seem to suit you perfectly. How's that?

I even have a rank insignia for it (in case you're interested ) . Sure show me.Okay, but allow me to warn you, it shall look a tad familiar and it'll be understandable if you reject it since patterns tend to look...well...a tad monotonous. Okay, simple explanation: Elvis' is the highest, reasonable rank insignia and so it makes sense for it to be that of Emperor, but that of grand vizier (being second to the emperor) would be one step lower. I do not, again however, mean to imply that you are lower ranking than Elvis. Here it is, though (kind of boring, ehh?):http://img.villagephotos.com/p/2003-6/232828/EmperorElvis.jpgGrand Vizier Scathane's Possible InsigniaOf course, a different variant of all these rank insignia (including, but not limited to the one above and Elvis') exist in accrodance to two other insignia patterns (there are a total of three). I could calculate those other variants, but that may take a tad longer, mind you.

Guest Scathane Posted June 13, 2003 Share Posted June 13, 2003 You mean it's the same as the Emperor's? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SOCL Posted June 13, 2003 Share Posted June 13, 2003 You mean it's the same as the Emperor's?Well, yes...and no. You see, Dr. Saxton's calculations are correct, but incomplete. He grouped the Emperor, Grand Vizier, Darth Vader, etc in a group he dubbed: "Emperor of other nominated proxy or executor". Okay, emperor being Palpatine and leader of the Empire. Nominated proxy being someone like Vader or another such person with such power, though no real political or military leadership/command. Executor, lastly, being someone who is not emperor, but has de facto powers or powers close to that of the emperor.When Elvis suggested his insignia to be the seven red over seven blue insignia without the code cylinders, it made me realize that an emperor does not share his insignia for that person is the highest ranking person throughout that empire. Thus, an insignia for that emperor should/must exist that is above all others (history has proven such with kings, queens, emperors, dictators, etc since humans are naturally egotisitical and what I explained), that, in this case is the insignia Elvis chose for himself. So that got me thinking, the seven red over seven blue without cylinders insignia is that of emperor, therefore the seven red over seven blue with cylinder must be that of a nominated proxy (i.e. Vader) or executor (i.e. grand vizier). So, that is why I presented this insignia again.I told you patterns get monotonous and, ultimately, boring.Sigh.Now, of course, politicians, proxies, and exectuors such as Palpatine, Pestage, and Vader did not wear military uniforms, so these insignia would never have been seen (unless they ever truly decided to wear one or a coup occured where the military took over...I suppose). Well...there you have it: another strike of the grand imperator of BEAK.Sigh.

You are rational and fair, try to always be politically correct, and tend to not take sides you don't need to. Then again, that's what I think.... I don't know, Supreme Chancellor and Grand Vizier just seem to suit you better than anything else.

Guest Scathane Posted June 13, 2003 Share Posted June 13, 2003 I probably should take that as a compliment... Anyway, Executor's nice as well. He's the dude next to the Emperor, isn't he? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SOCL Posted June 13, 2003 Share Posted June 13, 2003 Anyway, Executor's nice as well. He's the dude next to the Emperor, isn't he?Executor isn't truly meant to be a title, but more of a status (grand vizier, etc), but it could always be used as one. So, he or she is next to the emperor depending on what sort of executor he or she is (in regard to the Galactic Empire: grand vizier is next to the emperor). Sorry, that explanation was more confusing than helpful.
