Jahled

Has anyone actually been bothered to watch it to the end?

Well, it just goes to show you you should be careful posting when you've had a drink. It was meant to be a cunning quote of Ben Kenobi telling Luke he's just taken his first steps into a larger world, but I mashed it up! Darn!

I live in the same city as Elvis; I know exactly where he works; I think I should test his 'powers of moderation,' when he starts receiving strange packages of Cheese and ham sandwiches out of the blue! That would really freak him out! Worse still, I could personally deliver a trashed-up spent Fosters can.....before scurrying away from reception.... ...exceptionally evil thoughts drift through Jahled's mind.... He sits, glazed in some diabolical stare of eternity, before a book makes contact with the back of his head.... time to retire chaps....

I think it's wierdly revealing that in two recent polls that members could be bothered to vote in, the current era GL is working films on got the least interest....emmm...are Star Destroyers and Stormtroopers that sexy? Or should we all just go and recline on the sofa and watch Korusawa's 'Hidden Fortress' and mumble no more???

You have just taken your first steps into a larger universe...

...oh indeed, Lord Scathane! Our dark trail into abject terror continues with a young Admiral_Antilliles returning to his kitchen after logging out of the net, feeling in the mood for some scrambled egg on toast. Half way down his staircase, he is a little freaked out when the power goes out and his long stair well is plunged into a deep and sinister darkness. Our intrepid Padadweeb learner stumbles on in confusion, even as beyond the confines of his household rain begins to gash at at the walls, lightening ignites a haunted world, and the terrible rumbles of thunder rattle tiles and startle small furry animals. 'I must have some toast...' He gasps in defiance.... fumbling his way from the hallway into the darkness of his kitchen. Reaching into his pocket, he fumbles for a lighter, and trembling, ignites a faint, shadowy flame...turning slowly to his stove...his body freezes in terror.... his heart clenches as if by the iron grasp of eternity.... his eyes fixed wide and unyielding as if a full moon alighting some scene of Biblical doom: http://groups.msn.com/_Secure/0SQC0BPoWoW9QMHPmTvnpXxLyobikzrCcLZ80N168!oqpEps8DTzIRbrmnh4gIfPNLt9Oh8r89ugcuspLgqvldKi792zZhTpjfvOoVeYe8MItRGcjJm6KJw/kitten_copter.gif?dc=4675424508631590567 'Good evening, young Padadweeb learner, it seems you have a great deal to learn!'

..cat... A true master of the dark side he is, perhaps just to remind you: http://groups.msn.com/_Secure/0RwA0AywWlTXHYyH*ufVmXZEwi7Iba3xjNvF9niJZq5TmB4SPjJGu7KWUS5Twnu9LAV*KWuW9xMJ3rpLyaCAOuxLFRQ3FpdXRvUwhFxrgktc/scary_kitten.gif?dc=4675415706641562355

The darkness is beginning to descend once more...(Jahled has just spent £20 getting more storage space on his excellent 'Yoda's Ears' MSN web space....), new swrebellion members wade into the fray obviously ignorant of the horrible doom that they are stirring....perhaps not, perhaps they have delved the dark chronicles of '1000 posts!!!!!!!!!!!!!' Perhaps they are aware of the grim and fiendish methods of abject terror the retarded feline known as Zoot inflicts upon foolish humans....

I can hardly type with the excitement of your first bits of moderating!!! Seriously, you go for it dude:)

...phased...freaked out... and a little perplexed, Jahled struggles to get to grips with the mysterious disappearance of, not least; his prized Boba Fett Special Edition IG-88 combat figure that used to be held into position with a piece of blue tac ontop of his monitor... but everybody else who is now vacent from his wooden box....EVEN LITTLE GUYS FROM THE SEVENTIES WHO SURVIVED HIS CHILDHOOD!!! ...Lights suddenly flicker... Jahled reads reports from his fellow dudes of similar occurances happening all over the globe... indeed, where once a one-armed Luke Skywalker action figure once stood guard over a doorway, suddenly there were empty spaces.... In abject confusion, Jahled finds himself staring at a piece of string in his bathroom ceiling...as rain begins to patter... ...But our shaven-headed friend fails to notice the sinister swish of a tail at the bathroom window, before it is replaced by the night's swollen, bloated inky-well of darkness...

Contain your excitement! Place your bets.... http://www.zen16091.zen.co.uk/images/snailrace.gif The gif only takes about 10 minutes...

...er? Hang on a sec.... where the hell are all my Star Wars figures? My AT-St has even gone from the shelf....wait a sec....(Jahled rushes to the bathroom....a few bumps, crashes, and 'aghaaaa!'s later....he descends back at his computer....) There's just pieces of string where a 70's TIE-Intercepter used to dangle...what does it mean

....(Jahled lets out his fabled emmm)... Give Elvis grief no one shall! Terrible consequences! Oh yes..emmm.... Jahled for one will stomp on the ground like an angry elephant and wave his trunk aggressively in warning and undaunted defiance...and hoot loudly, no doubt startling lots of pretty very colourful jungle birds in the process....emmm.... a good idea I think this is....Elvis being a moderator.

...har har harrr...but Jahled found where Piet came from: During the Boer War at the turn of the century in South Africa, there was an unsuccessful Boer siege of British-held town of Mafeking Oct 1899-May 1900. The British garrison, about 750 soldiers under Col Robert Baden-Powell, 1700 townspeople, and about 7000 Africans, was besieged by a 10,000 strong Boer force under General Piet Cronje. The siege was not pressed very hard and the only serious attack the Boers attempted failed. It was eventually lifted when a British column arrived, dispered the Boers, and relieved the town 17 May 1900. -Prof Jedi Jahled

How high do you set the values for Palpy, Vader or Luke? Good question. Sometimes when I try to give them a good bump up in RebEd, it backfires and they end up with really low scores. Then take out of the picture the random modifier! In answer to Scathane, the only thing I adjust with Vader, Palpy, and Luke is giving the Emperor the ability to train Jedi Knights. It's kind of logical isn't it, and in expert games, gives the Empire a chance with it's two to four starting Star Destroyers at the beginning of the game when the rebels are rampaging around with their thirty bulk cruisers....it also gives the Emperor something to do on Coruscant; train Jedi, whilst you're keeping him there to enjoy that lovely leadership bonus inspiring all those uprisings on rebel-controlled worlds....

Where they start is an interesting concept, and by no means random at all, I think. For example, Veers always seems to start on a system where the Empire needs a General badly, and Piett seems to start on a system badly needing some Imperial diplomacy....

Hothand Piett were Generals from the Boar War in South Africa...I think...

Excellant!

Darn you Scathe! The ancient art of bouncing has long been the gnosis of martial arts, hush, before we have to reveal ourselves....

Rah! So AD&D is not entirely dead! I could spend days boring you with how much time, and fun; I wasted playing AD&D... cool to hear it's still alive! You enjoy! Sure I'll enjoy, but it isn't AD&D I'll play but D&D 3rd Edition... they have changed the rules MAJORLY in that edition... Well there you go! Miss out on a decade and they change everything! Say, Andy dude, did you ever do the Against the Giants, Decent into the Depths, Vault of the Drow, Queen of the Demonweb Pitsmodules? Best ever campaign I ever had. Me and my mates did the campaign over about three weeks at a remote Welsh cottage at least a mile from the nearest farm. One of my fondest memories! Seriously in the middle of nowhere, with your mates, immersed in imagination... with nothing but serious silence and a dark night at the window.

I like to have about half my characters automatically force sensitive, and everybody else, friend and foe, with about 45% chance of being so as well. If you up the values just that bit on the combat front, force-characters stand a good chance of surviving that chance encounter with a harder force-user... The effect of encountering a force-user is quite dramatic for any character's statistics.

Haven't a clue! I only did it for a couple of months before my body said 'it's either the training or spending all day hacking around on your bike, not both!'

This made me laugh: 'What the hell is going on out there Jim?' http://groups.msn.com/_Secure/0QwAAAIkUh8GCgQUIuCwqTiv5dY0nfookKMyIYC8xUnbbI1pwDhYGdoJSbBazlCSFGnOXXfL7UJA78nMMGPx2ms8wudLWBcAgkg5Uu!omWYM/tower.gif 'I haven't a clue, Bert...I haven't a clue...'

I'm sure you can flex your weight with the cat in my house! Don't cuss your own country to bad dude! I have the luxory of living in London. If you go out of town anywhere in England you get the same old record company shuve in your face crap in your average record store. And I guess it's the same for Europe and you guys in the states. To get the real stuff i'm into I have to spend serious amounts of time searching the web, all the subsequent frustration of finding all the searches on Japanese web sites (and why is it all the cool re-issue stuff is only available in Japan?), that; and loats of time using my fingers in 'specialist' music stores around town. It isn't commercially viable for every small town high street to stock the rare stuff, is it? Most people in society simply don't have the time to immerse themselves in music so deeply they see beyond what's shuved in their face, or ears by main stream radio stations. Anyways, my mate Wendy who I lived with over here whilst she was at University, is American and said she listens to some jazz station at: http://www.wpfw.org ...especially on Tuesdays from 4-7 (EST) when some dude called Mohammed plays the hotstuff. It's the same over here, if you judged the English music taste by what you'ld find on your average twirl of the radio dial, you'ld think we all like nothing more than crap dance music sung by deliquent insecure young people who can barely speak the English language, let alone sing with it... Same over there I guess...
