One of the background ideas I had was going to run along the lines of robots/golems/warforged/androids being slaves/property and one of the issues in the ongoing was their "official" status and the morality of mass producing them for battle when some become sentient. Then things begin to snowball for both sides of the conflict when the robots/golems/warforged/androids and living soldiers decided that they had enough and begin deserting en mass to become outlaws. Some of the robots/golems/warforged/androids then decided that they would rather build their own empire which was causing a Mexican Stand Off type of situation to occure leading to much chaos and distruction.
Yes, the western in my idea was more of a "spagetti" western.

Also, you could see why my idea would derail the Star Wars universe especially since I don't think a Galactic Civil War would take 40 years to run it's course (I consider Episode I/II as the start of the civil war since the separatists did rebel against the Republic/Empire.).

Here is some background, he "created" a fiance/girlfriend which he talked about of about 1 - 2 years. During that time alot of us assumed she was real and he often vanished for extended periods of time (he stated that he was doing things with his fiance). Unknown to everyone, he was using various alts (he had at least 20 - 30) when ever he was absent from the board.
Eventually, things with him got bad and he wanted to know if he was respected and if people would miss him. To find out he decided to log in as "his fiance" and he posted a message saying that he fell into a coma (most likely diabetic) and was sent to the hospital. Durign the course of the next month he kept up this story and some people started to become suspicous and sent PirateCat emails and an investigation began.
The investigation was wrapping up as Revielle's fiance was posting about Revielle recovering... and it was discovered that Revielle, his fiance, and several other EnWorld users were all logged in from the same IP adress. Piratecat then contacted Revielle and he confessed then was systematically banned.
You probably could find the threads using google. Just look for "Rev's mandy" "About Revielle" also there is fallout and reaction in "The HIVE is hurt" (last several pages happened during the reveal) and "Once, Twice, Three times the HIVE."
The messed up thing is, even though I diffended him during at first, I know that if he would have done the same hoax now, I would have been up in arms since my uncle of recently fell into a diabetic coma then died a week later.
