Barkoa

maybe, but I still reckon Grievous is gonna be the one to take out Windu. It probably will take a few of the jedi masters to deal with him!

Captain Mirkon went to his quarters. This had been a short, but hectic mission. He was going to really need some rest if he was to participate in the potentially upcoming battle. Attacks were frequent, but is was impossible to predict how many ships would attack, and how long it would last. The MGD (Mouvian Global Defence) was well-trained and ready all the time. They fiercely defended their beautiful home, and had cutting-edge technology, which made them a force to be reckoned with. Laying on his bed, he closed his eyes. He was about asleep when the ship shook violently, throwing him to the ground. He jumped up, only to fall down again from another large bump. 'What's going on?' he thought, and rushed out the door.

Barkoa woke up late in the afternoon. The lengthening shadows filled his small room. How long he'd slept, he had no idea, but he was now well-rested and ready for action. Walking down the hall, he noticed it was very quiet. Where is everyone? He walked along the halls and checked each room, noone. He then made his way to the apex of the pyramid-shaped structure. There was no sign of anyone or anything. He was starting to get worried.

The ship continued on its journey toward Mouvia. It would be 5 days before they reached the moon, Phalax, so he would have to get to know everyone a little better. "Afton, tell me a bit more about yourself."

My best Starcraft exploit was when there were three of us, every man for themselves. Well, one of the two died after a long fight, and I was terran, and not too strong. I always build multiple bases, but my last opponent had only one, and a reasonable one at that. He came in and wiped out my based, my main one, but couldn't find my 2nd at first. So I snuck a ghost and a few marines in and with my nuke, i wiped out all of their drones and nearly kill many of their main buildings. the marines then mopped up what was left. thankfully my 2nd base was big enough for me to hold off the guys they had left, and since they couldn't get resources anymore, i won by endurance. it was about 4 hours of play in total, but that was my supreme victory!

I was considering seeing it, but I'm American! Will it offend me too much? Is it any good? and do I need to see bowling for columbine first?

I wish I'd have found this sooner! I felt like a complete @$$ having to ask what it meant.

you mean like a Trading Post or something? or newspaper classifieds?

one thing I was wondering about, you apparently can't use characters that are higher than your actual ranking, but how does that work with jedi etc.? do they fall under that same condition? and shouldn't you ask before you join an RPG?

Just in case anyone cares, you can quite easily make your aliens look more alien-like if you have PS 7.0 or higher (6 might have it). Use the 'liquify' filter and then use the bulge effect over eyes etc. This is very effective. then use like a color overlay using the hue/saturation bars, to make your person different colours. I've made some of my teachers look very much like Admiral Ackbar using these techniques!

So wait, is this like a card game, or is it more just like trading cards or what? Are you guys trying to invent something or copy something, cause I'd love to help with any of that. I do like photoshop though and am reasonably good at it.

Barkoa could sense the anger in Rantar far before he even got close to the cockpit. He could understand his annoyance, but more important things were going on. It wasn't that he didn't care, but, well, sometimes things just happen. He called everyone to the bridge who wasn't there, which was really just Afton. She had done a lot for poor M-35, but he wasn't finished yet. When everyone was there, he started. "Everyone, we have just had a major distress call from our homeworld. If haste wasn't so dire, we would drop you off where we could, but its a bit late for that. I must explain some things, then we can answer any other questions or concerns you have. We are headed for Mouvia. It is a large, green planet that was settled by the Mouvians over 500 years ago. I may warn you now that unless the homeworld is under attack, the only non-Mouvians that can set foot there are jedi. You will, however be able to stay on one of the two moons that orbit it. "When Mouvia was very young, some 50 years old, a relentless force, the Vorei emerged and attacked. They breed very quickly, so their numbers were very hard to deal with. The Mouvians nearly came to complete extinction after years of war devastated their planet. It was only through the discovery that the Vorei were excited by the force that they could be defeated. Many jedi that could be found were gathered in one spot, so the intense force concentration attracted them all. Then, those jedi gave their lives and released all of their force energy at once, incinerating everything for miles. Releasing their energy drain their life force, but also overloaded the Vorei, destroying them all, or so we thought. They are celebrated every five years at our Mouvian Games as heroes. "To hear that the Vorei are not ALL dead is ill news, especially since we know of no other way to easily kill them- they just breed too fast. They are a species that's only goal is to kill and destroy everything in their path. They move to one planet, devastate everything and move on, but with greater numbers. The puzzle I can't figure out is that they don't use explosives. Their prescence doesn't explain the bomb, and those few only seemed like scouts. I will keep you all informed on what I find in the future. "I advise you all get some rest and sit tight. After we deal with the emergency on our own planet, we will gladly transport you to wherever you want." The look on the faces of Afton, Rantar and Mirkon (who didn't know all of that!) looked blank. It was a lot of information all at once, so Barkoa let the silence be for a few minutes if they had anything to say.

I maintain that anakin's gonna kill him. I'm not sure how, but I reckon he's gotta be the only one who can.

Yah, but what did Palpatine have in mind about who was going to win? He starts this galactic war, with two sides forming, but who does he want to win??? And is he going to just watch, and pick the better side? Thats what I want Ep III to tell me. And when did the official title get released? Someone said it was Revenge of the Sith! What's the story?

Thanks Antilles, but what do you mean this isn't the right forum? Isn't this just a general question forum? If not, sorry.

Vero, who do you reckon's gonna beat him? How is this unstoppable hunk of metal going to be vanquished????

Well, I love Lord of the Rings, and this is not just because its an awesome trilogy and book, but also because you can play the models! The LotR strategy game (with models, dice etc) is awesome. Its fun painting and building terrain, but I love battling even more. I want them to make something similar for Star Wars! It would be wicked to have a little Clone Army led by some heroic jedi! If anyone else has this burning desire, join me in my campaign to do so! I would love to send a request with hundreds of names to Citadel models, that would hopefully convince them! If you're unsure about what these games involve, go here: http://oz.games-workshop.com/thelordoftherings/ [/url]

Thanx. Is there a newer forum though? Or should I just start one of my own?

Also, does anyone know if the Mouth of Sauron will be in the extended? That would becool! Also, if anyone plays the LotR strategy game (models etc), they could hopefully help me to understand why they have the stats for him, but no model! he's the only one!

I truly agree with Trejiuvanat in saying that Star Wars is two sets of trilogies, but I would definitely place LotR as a single movie. I find it hard and even depressing to separate them. They are the coolest movies, (besides SW of course!), but i hate the fact that they don't do the scouring of the shire! That was my favourite part of the books! I hope they do it in the special edition, but i find it highly unlikely.

thanx for the tips guys! i'll look into some of those games. an by the way, Evaders99, how do you get diff coloured text for your posts??

those are some v nice pics! when did that game come out because I'm sure I haven't seen it yet, and what are the general specs needed for my PC, cause I think I'll need an upgrade!

Trejiuvanat, how do you get to get a 'jedi' or sith lord or whatever ranking? Can I only get military, or can I get into the jedi order? And is there a list of how many posts to get to each level? I just wanna know.

I was really excited when Jedi Academy came out because it was heaps better than any other jedi game, but they still need some more improvements. I actually like Dark Forces 1 as far as storyline goes, I thought that was cool. Ok, the gameplay wasn't that great, but the story was worth it. KoOR was good, #2 should be better! I actually want them to make a SW game like Final Fantasy! I think that's got the best type of game, so an SW version would be fully sick! If anyone makes one, or gets one or anything, tell me!
