SOCL

Do mean to say, Scath, that you do not wish to rant?

At his headquarters in the BEAK Imperium, the not-so-grand imperator was inspecting his troops when he noticed something odd on their shoulders. Their unit patches had changed!!! He pretended not to notice and approached the unit's commander and questioned him about the patch. The unit commander responded with something about the patches being nothing more than rebel gnats. SOCL smiled kindly at the commander and saluted. He then slowly walked away, acting as if nothing happened, slowly speeding up until he was in a full-fledged run to his office. Outside, the troops were surrounding the building. He jabbed the communicator! "This is Not-So-Grand Imperator SOCL to all SWR personnel, my personnel have turned to the Zoot side and are attempting and succeeding in mutiny and a coup! I will soon be taken prisoner!" The door explodes open behind SOCL. "War is inevitable--" The communication went dead....

It's been signed?!! Hmm...anyone up for some peaceful (I underline it so those FBI and Secret Service agents watching me don't get the wrong idea) protesting?...

So Scath is a marketer...or marketeer(?). A good website; I especially liked the bit about the shock troops.

Impressive, igorimp...most impressive. You should work for Dr. Saxton and the Technical Commentaries. As a matter of fact, I suggest you e-mail him about your own commentary and perhaps you can both join forces to make the ultimate Endor analysis! But really, it is quiter impressive, igorimp!

Ah, yes, a quote from the olden days. Back when Trej was a colonel, Scath was a lieutenant colonel, Jahled a general, Elvis a warlord, and I a cadet. Yeah, those were the days.

Thanks, man! As soon as I get Word on this computer, I'll be requesting them!

A ex-Puerto Rican-American who is now a Puerto Rican-British. Sounds cool to me, man. Interesting, I never realized that the British IND page would be...pink. Oh well, thanks, bro! So when I finally move to the UK, we'll all meet somewhere and have an SWR live reunion...at Jahled's house!

I see a few similarities, but not a whole lot. Could you ellaborate, please?

A good point. I was thinking that the newsletter would only be sent out once a month...or so. Then, as the site (hopefully) gets larger, we'll get more news (while stealing some from other rival SW sites ). The only thing is that the newsletter would be time-consuming and someone or someones who have time would have to do it....

I've been there once, but I hardly remember it because I was so young, so I don't truly count that (it was more like a 500 km/h tour of London as a four or five year old...I don't recall). Hmm...teachers, ehh? Well, would the kids make fun of me for my "Yankee" accent? An invitation...excellent. Well, at the moment I'm rather preoccupied with school (teaching and learning), but I may just take you up on the offer come this summer...if not, most definantely the summer after that. I know, it's quite some time in the future, but don't be surprised if one evening you're sleeping and suddenly fall out of your bed when some rude American who goes by the name of Saul comes knocking at your door.

That's what I had basically understood from the rest of everyone else, I just wanted to get it confirmed.... For the first time (in this thread), Evaders, I think we agree on something. Has it been passed into law yet?

Maybe it's not the right place, but I can't imagine where else it would go. Any how... I was looking at my profile (don't ask) and I noticed that I am subscribed to the SWR.Net (hmm...maybe the site should now be known as SWRN) newsletter. I sat there for a second...or two...or longer, and thought, "Mmm...pineapples--I mean, I am?" Okay, the point is, I'm sure most of us are subscribed to the newsletter, but we don't recieve one. Should maybe someone undertake that task, perhaps a committee be appoint/elected to due such? I mean, it would be interesting to recieve some news on the site via e-mail for those of us who don't visit the site everyday (though I'm sure anyone subscribed to the newsletter does). I mean, it would include what new downloads, some of the community events (like the TC projects and such), some news on our progress to get the sourcecode, and even some fan things. For example, the fan section could include fanfics, fanart, and even news from the forums that includes updates on important discussions and the RPG (our Zoot RPG, even). Well, I just thought I'd point out the newsletter thing, ask why we don't have one, and throw out a few suggestions. And, for the fun of it, let's have a poll!

I'm not sure, bro, but there may be some information at the STAR WARS Technical Commentaries over them... ...though I don't think so now since I can't find it.... Check TheForce.Net's Unofficial Encyclopedia, they'll surely have info.

I'm working on it.

Why thank you, my friend.

Hey, can anyone give me the low-down on this whole Patriot Act thing? (I'm asking a serious question in the search/sake of knowledge) Oh, by the way, I moved to a different church.

Mine, like Scath's, is the Sandtrooper, but I simply voted Stormtrooper because it is the same basic uniform/armor and so forth (looks-wise). But I took exception to this: This isn't 100% true. Though they were elite bodyguards, their primary training was that of soldiers. In the novels (i.e. Specter of the Past and Vision of the Future), you'll notice that there is mention made to the fact that Royal Guardsmen actually do work with stormtroopers more often than they do as elite bodyguards since they are continously circulated through the system from being bodyguards to being stormtroopers. It would probably compare to being a Delta Force operator in the United States' of America Army. They are only allowed 1-2 year terms in the unit before they must serve in a regular special operations unit or regular unit all together; after at least a year is served outside of Delta Force, they apply to be considered again for it. So, though the Imperial Royal Guards' mission is probably that of a bodyguard, they are actually soldiers/troopers with bodyguard training. So I beg to differ when you say they should be excluded from the list on the grounds that they are not troopers (which they are).

I made this thread so all of us can come and whine about our day or anything we feel strongly about (though I get a feeling either: 1) it already exists, or 2) it will fail). Any how, this is probably going to be considered a spam thread, but we'll see. First, I must say I am quite pissed off at Kelly (not truly) for giving me a stomach flu that has me only eating crackers, bread, and water. So today, Day 4 for this virus, I went to the hospital and was looked over by a certian Lieutenant Cameron who was in a rush to go home. So first he checks all the normal vitals, then he has me lay down on my back says, "Relax". I nod, thinking, okay, he's going to push down on my stomach like usual. My attempted relaxation is suddenly broken by the most painful pushes I have ever had...and not because my stomach hurts, but because he was practically punching. Then he asked me whether or not I had had my appendix removed in the past; I said, "No". He then decided to push down where my appendix would be. Now, let me tell you, it didn't matter whether or not my appendix hurt before or if it was part of the problem, it is killing me now. So he decided to send me to do about a million and one tests. I was rushed to the lab where they drew enough blood from me to feed a vampire for a week. Promptly after I was ordered to Radiology, where they forced me to strip down to my underwear (pink boxers, I had to wear the pink ones...) and was put into a shroud which was, incidentally open in the rear. I was made to lay down on an extremely cold table in a terribly cold room where they took about twelve x-rays and I'm sure I now glow in the dark. After changing (difficult since I had limited use of one of my arms due to the blood drawn), I was rushed back to the clinic where the lieutenant told me I was fine and had me pick up some medicine in the pharmacy which stops me from vomitting (which has been the prime problem) so I can eat, yet takes away my appetite. So I went to the school to teach my class, and as it turns out, the teacher forgot to inform me that I didn't have to teach the class today because they were writing a research paper, which she also forgot to inform me about, yet I have to grade. So I left the school and started driving home when my cell phone goes off. I grab it and see that it's the teacher. Apparently she changed her mind and needs me to teach the class. So I turned around (this is after the hospital, mind you) and taught about Greek law and the Greek philosophy on law in the alloted time, which was only ten-fifteen minutes. After all this, I graded a few papers (which I hadn't been informed of either). I then left the school and went to go light up a Camel, when I found that I was out! I made a quick run to the store and decided to by some Swisher's cigars and a pack of Camels. Seconds after leaving the store, I destressed with a good shot of deadly nicotine. I then came home to find that I had to vomit because I had forgotten to take my medicine, and now, here I am. What a wonderful day.

After his almost unsuccessful communication to Scath--and prank-calling Jahled again...unsuccessfully--he decided to dress up in his usual war dress and begin training for what would probably come to be known as the Third Zoot War....

Okay, I know this is rather off-topic, but as the Grand Imperator of BEAK it is my responsibility to point this out: Piett is spelled with two t's, not one! Piett, not Piet. Good job, BoShek, on your last post with the correct spelling of Piett; you win honorary BEAK Imperial citizenship. Alright then, clear off! Carry on!

BWAHAHAHAHA!!!! Jeez, man, I wish I led a life like your's! No, honestly!

Doo-de, I tink the spikes been punched. ...nevermind.

Just did it.Got it! Thanks!

So it looks like it should...um...used to: no design?
