Jemal's New Imperial Order OOC Thread for Talking Smack But Its Okay for the Republic

[dpdx]

The Peanut Gallery Sector has fallen ill with a bad case of, uh, peanut blight, and will thus not be posting Loathesome Lists with regularity until it can cease to cough up half a kernel every time it sits down to the keyboard.

But in general: making the List is not something you can try to earn, because the criteria changes with each list, and there is no point system. In general, though, if an action you take (or do not take) is likely to make some of the PGS (being peanuts,) propel themselves bodily at your noggin in a tabletop situation, that will generally put you on the List.

Also, the Peanut Gallery Sector would very much NOT like to see you TPK. It enjoys the game you're playing, and would like to see it continue without Jemal having to roll Initiative separately for Blue Glowie Jedi and scattered bits of Imperial and Republic anatomy to see which gets sucked out the vacuum first.

Oh don't worry bout that, peanut, I'm more worried about what happens when Meiko fires that gun...
conflicting parties in the same area always causes... situations.

Thing is I'm liking it. hehe.
All hail the sado-masochistic DM!

OK, I'll extend till tommorow then..
I don't know what the big deal is about it though.. People who DO have dates get stressed and/or spend lots of money, people who DON'T have dates feel alone.

It's a useless holiday for 90% of the population.

Well

Whenever I don't have a date for Valentine's day, I always just go with my single friends to bars/clubs that night and find myself some hot men to hang out with for the rest of the night That's actually alot more fun than a date with someone who's not your boyfriend. (Having a first date on Valentine's day?---been there, done that--so not a good idea!)

Its also my brother's birthday so sometimes we spend that with him having a party.

So Valentine's Day has never really been bad for me at all.

ok

The republics are forcing Meiko into a very bad position of possibly killing everyone to keep by being captured by the barbarian Jedi. They attacked them first, trying to force their way into the Imperial ship instead of going to their own ship after a VERY VALID request that Mang asked them to give up their weapons...I mean it IS OUR ship isn't it? ;p

I'd also like to know how the Light Jedi explain attacking people who haven't attacked them and infact offered them safe haven on their vessel.

BTW I'd like to know how you guys know we're Imperial and not just some transport ship.
1> no Imperial markings or transponders on the ship
2> no Imperial communications since we've been aboard
3> never identified ourselves as Imperial
4> Mang and Palpa aren't full Jedi so no dark Jedi-ness there

Sorry to go all crazy, but...

Sounds like more than one PC seems in need of a refresher on the meaning of "temporarily, peacefully coexist" or "ally against a common enemy." Of course, it's Rebels and Imperials during the Rebellion Era - what do you expect? Sure hope nobody dies...

Interesting conundrum, Jemal. So, who gets into the ship before the vacuum comes?

[on edit: the Peanut Gallery Sector is down to a quarter-kernel of spew per pulmonary attack, and should go back into the fray with regularity realsoonnow, with Loathesome Lists, and additional commentary. Thanks for caring. ]

Why should they have to co-exist peacefully. Meiko' points are very valid. The jedi should all get darkside points for attacking when all they had to do was temporerally give up their weapons. It wasn't an unreasonabe request by the imperials. They didn't know the republicans, and they had no reason to trust them.

It was a simple request and the Republicans went nuts yelling out slurs.

That said, I wouldn't be real rational in that situation either.

Has anyone been killed or even hurt yet IC? I see Oothar as being consistent, so sorry if everybody else doesn't. I don't really want to metagame this scenario by explaining every action my character takes, but I can if everyone's feathers are getting ruffled.

Uh...don't you think alot of hurting is coming with your weapons drawn and everyone in attack positions? What? You think the Imperials will give up their ship without a fight?

Actually I'm more annoyed that the Republics know they're Imperials than anything else. Just that knowledge makes it impossible for them to work together. LOL let's just say I'm hoping there's a very good explanation IC for this....

Okay, since you asked for it. Here goes nothing...

My character has background issues with the Empire. That said --- having helped to heal one of the Imps (a kind and benevolent gesture) and then being told to surrender or be left to die in a vacuum, Oothar took his own third option and rushed the ship, using his skill in Intimidation to back the Imps off so that he and the Reps could get onboard and seal the door before the 30 SECONDS were up (not really much time to negotiate). This way he retains his weapons and saves his friends. Now he is trying to resolve the situation without bloodshed by continuing his Intimidation and trying to get the others to stop fighting. Unlike the Imps, he will not kill them out of hand if they do so. It is a known fact that "light" jedi don't do that sort of thing. (Hence my earlier question of whether anyone had been hurt IC yet.)

As for how the Reps knew who the Imps were ... I asked that very same question OOC in our original pre-merge game thread. If it's okay with the DM, I can copy and paste his answer here. Otherwise, you'd have to ask him.

Sorry if this post sounds pissy, but I don't like the accusatory tone of yours either and I'm just letting off some steam at having to justify myself.

Not very gameworthy activity on either of our parts.

Truce?

I saw the problem to be the 20-30 seconds of time to give up the weapons. You can maybe throw them at Mang & Cabe at that time.
