[12:39:38] <@FA_Polanski> Minor, I beat it in about 5 mins, but the scan took ages.
[12:39:44] <@Fel> No, no, you're doing it wrong. You're supposed to say "Greetings Imperials" then set your name to "FA_P_Away" for 25-30 mins :P
[12:39:58] <@Syrtaras> <Munro_Burton> http://ehtiecorps.org/news.asp <-- OMG <- Don't know any of them. :P
[12:40:06] * @FA_Polanski goes to fix my nick... hold on, thats not right :P
[12:40:21] <ACP_Foley> I hope you don't let AD Fel take over if you ever leave, Sir. :P
[12:40:36] <@Fel> GA Daemon used to do that all the time. Why join the channel and then change nick to GA_D_Away
[12:40:47] <@Fel> Why he wouldn't just wait until he was ready... :P

[12:41:11] * draz_hangove is now known as LT_Drazhar
[12:41:27] <@Fel> Foley: If you're trying to get in trouble, it's working. :P
[12:41:32] <@Syrtaras> Pol: Lack of style is more like it. :P
[12:41:38] <@FA_Polanski> :P
[12:41:45] * @FA_Polanski orders nice new shiney ram
[12:41:52] <LT_Drazhar> Syrt for Emperor <- not bloody likely!!
[12:42:00] * ACP_Foley hands a drink to FA Polanski and starts talking to him about taking funds from the Navy and giving them to the Army.
[12:42:01] <@Fel> Syrt: I guess you can say "Good Luck" and "Bad Luck" are both "Luck", so "Good Style" and "Bad Style" are both "Style" :P
[12:42:02] <ACP_Foley> :P
[12:42:07] <@FA_Polanski> :P
[12:42:09] * @FA_Polanski drinks
[12:42:19] <@FA_Polanski> So, happy Empire day everyone. You may bow to me now :P
[12:42:23] <@Syrtaras> Draz: I am German. At least we *had* an Emperor for some time. :P
[12:42:31] <LT_Drazhar> bah
[12:42:32] * ACP_Tovakinp bows
[12:42:35] * ACP_Foley bows
[12:42:36] <LT_Drazhar> we had a High King
[12:42:40] <@FA_Polanski> Just remember we had the biggest *empire* ;-)
[12:42:49] <@Fel> We have... a Queen. :P
[12:43:02] <LT_Drazhar> Pol, and the nearest country to it was the first to rebel!!
[12:43:09] <LT_Drazhar> and get its independence
[12:43:15] <@Syrtaras> Pol: And let it fall apart. Shame on you! :P
[12:43:25] <ACP_Foley> Least she doesn't do wierd things with her hair, Admiral.

[12:43:42] * Joins: EN_Lenanor (~lenanor@Lenanor.users.undernet.org)
[12:43:52] <@Fel> Was that a snipe at my hairstyle or the Kaiser's? :P
[12:44:29] <ACP_Foley> So I think everyone should share a bit of good news in their recent history.
[12:44:41] <ACP_Foley> Would you like to start, Admiral Polanski?
[12:44:44] <Munro_Burton> EN? You graduated, Lenanor? :P
[12:44:47] <LT_Drazhar> I got drunk last night
[12:44:49] <ACP_Foley> Amazing
[12:44:50] <ACP_Foley> :P
[12:44:52] <LT_Drazhar> hows that foley
[12:44:53] <@Fel> Yes, he graduated yesterday.
[12:44:55] <EN_Lenanor> Yes.
[12:45:06] <ACP_Foley> I suppse that works, Draz ::P
[12:45:11] <CM_Muscat> And has been placed in the best squadron in the Fleet, no less! ;-)
[12:45:23] <Munro_Burton> The best squadron is Scimitar.
[12:45:33] <LT_Drazhar> no it aint
[12:45:34] <ACP_Foley> I think he was refering to Iota.
[12:45:37] <Munro_Burton> Or at least, it's the largest collection of large egos.
[12:45:45] <ACP_Foley> Since those three are/former Iota members
[12:45:47] <ACP_Foley> :P
[12:45:53] <LT_Drazhar> bugger
[12:46:01] <LT_Drazhar> he was placed in One-Flight
[12:46:17] <EN_Lenanor> Is that a problem?
[12:46:29] <CM_Muscat> Don't worry, you can still pull rank as long as Lieutenant Alex allows it. ;-)
[12:46:35] <@Syrtaras> Well, the best squadron in the fleet, ever, was undoubtedly Omicron. Followed very closely by Kappa. :D
[12:46:36] <@Fel> He wanted a new drink-carrier :P
[12:46:37] <LT_Drazhar> no, i was just hoping for another lackey....eh, i mean co-pilot
[12:47:02] <LT_Drazhar> is alex around today?
[12:47:07] <@FA_Polanski> Not a bad turnout.
[12:47:09] <@FA_Polanski> :)
[12:47:13] <CM_Muscat> I haven't seen him.
[12:47:22] <LT_Drazhar> mua ha ha ha
[12:47:27] <ACP_Foley> I'm not sure
[12:47:31] <LT_Drazhar> that means I'm the ranking Iota person
[12:47:34] <ACP_Foley> I havn't seen Alex online for a bit
[12:47:46] <LT_Drazhar> EN Lenanor
[12:47:51] <ACP_Foley> I'll talk to him in school and tell him you all miss him :P}
[12:47:51] <LT_Drazhar> a beer please....
[12:48:02] <LT_Drazhar> :)
[12:48:04] <CM_Muscat> Foley: Tell him I miss his reports. :-)
[12:48:08] * ACP_Foley looks to the bottles and realized he drank it all :P
[12:48:10] <ACP_Foley> Heh
[12:48:10] <LT_Drazhar> ha ha ha
[12:48:13] <ACP_Foley> Sure think, Commander
[12:48:20] <LT_Drazhar> Muscat: So do I!!
[12:48:23] <ACP_Foley> *thing
[12:51:21] <`Jaxson> so, as the lowest ranking person in here do i get to have free drinks all day?
[12:51:24] <ACP_Foley> Well I must do other... "Things" for the momment. I may be back soon or very late.
[12:51:33] * ACP_Foley hiccups.
[12:51:49] <ACP_Foley> I don't think the drinks are around anymore :P
[12:51:52] <@FA_Polanski> Later on this evening I'll be free to challenge some people in games ;-)
[12:51:57] <@Syrtaras> So many people wearing rank... I'll just follow suit and then claim it was my idea in the first place. :P
[12:52:02] * Syrtaras is now known as CP_Syrtaras
[12:52:05] * Fel is now known as AD_Fel

[12:52:29] <CM_Muscat> Technically, we all should be... ;-)
[12:52:37] <Munro_Burton> Jaxson, there's another PFC in here :P
[12:52:42] <@CP_Syrtaras> Foley: You are under order to acknowledge that it was MY idea. :P
[12:52:44] <CM_Muscat> Well, when the formal bit starts, anyway.
[12:52:56] <CM_Muscat> But a good idea of yours, Syrt. :-P
[12:53:00] <@FA_Polanski> There isnt really a formal bit :P
[12:53:01] <ACP_Foley> Acknowledge what was your idea?
[12:53:16] <@CP_Syrtaras> Muscat: Thank you very much. Glad you like it. :P
[12:53:18] <ACP_Foley> I don't even remember :P
[12:53:21] <Munro_Burton> <FA_Polanski> There isnt really a formal bit :P <-- That's why I'm in a clown suit and not my uniform :P
[12:53:28] * PFC_Jaxson is now known as `Jaxson
[12:53:30] <ACP_Foley> And he's full of candy
[12:53:35] <LT_Drazhar> GET HIM
[12:53:36] * ACP_Foley picks up his force pike
[12:53:37] <Munro_Burton> No, I'm not!
[12:53:42] <@AD_Fel> He's a Pinata. Nice. :P
[12:53:44] * Munro_Burton runs with his big flapping clown shoes
[12:53:45] <@CP_Syrtaras> Munro: Oh, that's NOT your uniform? Hmm... :P
[12:53:49] <@FA_Polanski> Its very much an informal discussion and celebration :)
[12:53:50] * ACP_Foley joins the sworm chasing MUnro
[12:54:01] <ACP_Foley> *swarm
[12:54:06] <@AD_Fel> Bust him open & you get candy! :P
[12:54:08] * Munro_Burton drops clown trinkets
[12:54:15] * LT_Drazhar considers informal, then considers removing pants....
[12:54:29] <CM_Muscat> Draz: I am ordering you to not inflict that on us!
[12:54:34] * CP_Syrtaras is now known as CP_S_dinner
[12:54:39] <@FA_Polanski> Draz: Not that informal
[12:54:42] <ACP_Foley> I'm gonna have to go with the Commander on that.
[12:54:48] * LT_Drazhar considers the requests....
[12:54:50] <ACP_Foley> And the the FA.
[12:55:17] * LT_Drazhar decides he'll wait
[12:55:19] <ACP_Foley> I think after this ladder segmant, I'll have more medals than Jag :D
[12:55:23] * @FA_Polanski thinks "i must not buy another monitor"
[12:55:36] <`Jaxson> so, the ladders will be reset today
[12:55:36] <EN_Lenanor> Why not, Admiral?
[12:55:41] * CM_Muscat thinks "Polanski must buy me another monitor"
[12:55:47] * `Jaxson fondles his JA/JO lightsaber
[12:55:54] <ACP_Foley> I belive they will Jax
[12:55:59] <@FA_Polanski> Well, one they cost money. two, i need another gfx card for it, three, there isnt any desk space left
[12:56:03] <LT_Drazhar> stop playing with yourself Jaxson
[12:56:11] <Munro_Burton> Hust how many monitors do you have, Pol?
[12:56:15] <@FA_Polanski> They will be reset today, although not in time for 6.
[12:56:22] <@FA_Polanski> I have 2x17" lcd...
[12:56:23] <CM_Muscat> I have plenty of desk space, Admiral. You could always send it to me...?
[12:56:29] <EN_Lenanor> :-)
[12:56:34] * Joins: Mort_Noir (Cattivo@Darkstalker.users.undernet.org)
[12:56:37] <CM_Muscat> Privet
[12:56:39] * ACP_Foley glares at Munro for taking JO in Foley's absence.
[12:56:40] <@FA_Polanski> Muscat: see number 1.
[12:56:53] <Munro_Burton> Hey, not my fault you went on a LoA :P
[12:56:53] <LT_Drazhar> Anyone up for some XWA or XvT after the meeting??
[12:57:00] <ACP_Foley> Not my fault either :P
[12:57:00] <Mort_Noir> Privet...
[12:57:03] <ACP_Foley> I didn't want to go
[12:57:07] <Munro_Burton> And you're also lucky I didn't find people to make ground in BF too :P
[12:57:08] <EN_Lenanor> Well, the Navy does provide computer equipment for its officers, no? :-)
[12:57:24] * @FA_Polanski points at Fel, get him to buy it :P
[12:57:35] <LT_Drazhar> EN_Lenanor: only the General Pupose Computer Troubleshooter
[12:57:38] * `Jaxson is now known as Jax_BFII
[12:57:42] <LT_Drazhar> otherwise known as a brick
[12:57:42] * ACP_Foley chains up his top in ladder positions.
[12:58:00] <Munro_Burton> One thing you should note, Foley...
[12:58:08] <ACP_Foley> Eh?
[12:58:10] <Munro_Burton> http://empirereborn.net/excombat.php
[12:58:15] <Munro_Burton> I'll be second on that list!
[12:58:19] <ACP_Foley> Meh
[12:58:26] <ACP_Foley> I don't care about that too much
[12:58:30] <Munro_Burton> You'll be third, I think.
[12:58:49] * ACP_Foley notes to cut Munro off from JA
[12:59:05] <LT_Drazhar> bloody hell
[12:59:12] <Munro_Burton> That's ok. I'm planning to win the EaW, JO and BF ladders :P
[12:59:14] <LT_Drazhar> for ages i though ACP was Army Corporal
[12:59:20] <Munro_Burton> lol
[12:59:21] <LT_Drazhar> ha
[12:59:23] <LT_Drazhar> :)
[12:59:37] * ACP_Foley shines his Captain Rank.
[12:59:38] <Munro_Burton> I like that! Corporal Foley!
[12:59:41] <LT_Drazhar> i was wondering why Foley wasnt being beaten
[12:59:47] <ACP_Foley> Heh
[12:59:50] <EN_Lenanor> Just wondering, why is the 'A' necessary in the first place?
[12:59:54] <LT_Drazhar> Army
[13:00:01] * ACP_Foley takes out a stun batton and starts Chasing Drazhar.
[13:00:10] <CM_Muscat> Foley, that's my job.
[13:00:10] <Munro_Burton> Because people get Army/Navy ranks mixed up.
[13:00:15] <@FA_Polanski> That they do.
[13:00:21] <Munro_Burton> An Army Captain is much lower than a Naval Captain.
[13:00:22] * LT_Drazhar takes pants off, "Go ahead if your think your hard enough"
[13:00:27] <EN_Lenanor> But we know that three-letter ranks are Army, two-letter ones are Navy.
[13:00:34] * Joins: GA_Daemon (~GADaemon@wnpgmb11dc1-45-171-206.dynamic.mts.net)
[13:00:39] <@FA_Polanski> Never thought of it that way
[13:00:44] <ACP_Foley> Muscat: Aw.
[13:00:44] * GA_Daemon salutes Fleet Admiral Polanski
[13:00:54] * @FA_Polanski returns salute
[13:00:54] <GA_Daemon> My thanks for the invitation, Admiral... I decided to take you up on it. :-)
[13:01:06] <@FA_Polanski> Greetings Admiral; so I see. Good to see you back.
[13:01:36] * ACP_Foley stands at attention as the two officers talk
[13:01:47] <@FA_Polanski> How have things been ?
[13:01:53] <GA_Daemon> Thank you.... Just stopping in to observe, and to say hello and congratulations on another year, if I may.
[13:01:54] <@FA_Polanski> At ease Foley :)
[13:02:08] <@AD_Fel> Welcome... :-)
[13:02:13] <GA_Daemon> Quite well, and yourself?
[13:02:17] <@FA_Polanski> Of course :)
[13:02:28] <@FA_Polanski> Not too bad. Things I'd like to think are going well (support anyone?)
[13:02:36] * Joins: RES_Farmer (~matthew_f@212.219.226.4)
[13:02:44] <ACP_Foley> Thinks have been going smoothly
[13:02:47] <ACP_Foley> *things
[13:02:48] <EN_Lenanor> I thoroughly agree.
[13:02:52] * LT_Drazhar is still trying to pick jaw up off the ground
[13:03:13] <@AD_Fel> Drazhar: I suspect you are not the only one. ;-)
[13:03:45] <GA_Daemon> Good to hear... I have been keeping up with progress where possible via the domain. :-)
[13:04:56] <@FA_Polanski> I think I should just round up these ladders, give me minute everyone...
[13:04:57] * Quits: EN_Lenanor (~lenanor@Lenanor.users.undernet.org) (Read error: Connection reset by peer)
[13:05:01] * ACP_Foley greets RES Farmer.
[13:05:07] <RES_Farmer> hello
[13:05:23] <ACP_Foley> Spearhead's been doing well.
[13:05:24] <CM_Muscat> So, you coming back to the Navy now you have EaW, Farmer?
[13:05:29] <CM_Muscat> :-P
[13:05:33] * RES_Farmer rolls eyes
[13:05:37] <GA_Daemon> As well as your preparations to implement EaW... I was going to congratulate Mr Syrtaras on his proposals to implement it into the Navy, but he appears not to be present. :-)
[13:05:53] <@AD_Fel> We'd love to have you in the Navy, Farmer. :-)
[13:06:04] <RES_Farmer> it is tempting
[13:06:06] * ACP_Foley grabs Farmer. Don't do it
[13:06:13] <RES_Farmer> lol
[13:06:24] <LT_Drazhar> come on farmer
[13:06:31] <RES_Farmer> i DID start in the navy....
[13:06:33] <LT_Drazhar> it'll be grand
[13:06:33] <@FA_Polanski> It wasn't just Syrtaras who took part however, much credit should go to Ad Fel :)
[13:06:49] <@FA_Polanski> He organised more or less all of it ;-)
[13:07:06] <@AD_Fel> And I also received some notable assistance from Captain Wedge. :-)
[13:07:09] <ACP_Foley> The Army needs you, we have so many empty companies.
[13:07:13] <GA_Daemon> Then congratulations to him as well... :-)
[13:07:17] <@FA_Polanski> All we need to do now is to get lots of more people on board using it.
[13:07:23] <@FA_Polanski> Have you played it yourself ?
[13:07:31] <GA_Daemon> I'm mainly applauding the determination that it should be a Navy platform. I wasn't certain where you'd be using it.
[13:07:54] * Joins: EF_Ualtar (~chatzilla@pool-71-251-49-31.washdc.east.verizon.net)
[13:08:03] <@AD_Fel> Several discussions on the matter took place, even long before the demo was released.
[13:08:14] <@FA_Polanski> It was a decision that took a while, afterall it could be used for Army too, but we decided the Navy needed something new.
[13:08:16] <GA_Daemon> No I haven't; the latest I've played is Battlefront. But BFII and EaW are on my "to buy" list.
[13:08:25] * Joins: EN_Lenanor (~lenanor@Lenanor.users.undernet.org)
[13:08:48] <@FA_Polanski> Its... interesting to play... (shall we say)
[13:08:53] <RES_Farmer> lol
[13:09:05] <ACP_Foley> That it is
[13:09:07] <GA_Daemon> I've read the reviews and seen the screenshots; it does look "interesting". :-)
[13:09:17] <EF_Ualtar> Salutes all those that are higher ranking then hime which amounts to just about everybody
[13:09:18] <@Vortagh> and back
[13:09:33] <@FA_Polanski> Welcome back
[13:09:41] <GA_Daemon> EF... That's your new Ensign First Class rank is my memory serves?
[13:09:50] <@AD_Fel> Several factors were key in resolving it as a Navy platform, but a primary, telling factor was the lack of a LucasArts-released Naval Platform since XWA in 1999.
[13:09:52] * Jansen is now known as GEN_Jansen
[13:10:01] <@GEN_Jansen> Hello Grand Admiral
[13:10:10] <@FA_Polanski> It is.
[13:10:17] * GA_Daemon salutes GEN_Jansen
[13:10:17] <@Vortagh> But I am going to leave to get some food - more important, I am sorry :P

[13:11:10] <@Zwibble> Glad to see you've been stationed, Ensign.
[13:11:12] <@FA_Polanski> If only it happened every Saturday ;-)
[13:11:17] <GA_Daemon> Rear Admiral Zwibble, you've done well for yourself.
[13:11:23] <[EN]Sheridan> you know the historical section states 12 GAs but there are actually 14.
[13:11:32] <@CD_Vort-Away> Pol: I need to be Moff again - just to show off ;P
[13:11:40] <@Zwibble> Sir! I cerainly wasn't expecting to see you here!
[13:11:44] <@FA_Polanski> You're supposed to be away ;-)

[13:12:00] <@CD_Vort-Away> Shh :P
[13:12:06] * GA_Daemon returns Admiral Zwibble's salute
[13:12:10] <ACP_Foley> Heh
[13:12:11] <@Zwibble> Thank you, Grand Admiral. I try. :)
[13:12:17] <GA_Daemon> I received a kind invitation from your Supreme Commander and decided to take him up on it. :-)
[13:12:20] <GA_Daemon> EN Sheridan... That's correct or not, depending on your point of view.
[13:12:21] * Munro_Burton is now known as ALT_Burton
[13:12:52] <GA_Daemon> 14 in history were appointed in GE timeline, but the circle of Grand Admirals always numbered 12 in total.
[13:12:54] <EN_Lenanor> EN Sheridan: #14 was Pellaeon, yes?
[13:13:07] <@Zwibble> Well, it's lovely to see you again after all these years.

[13:13:11] <CM_Muscat> Pellaeon was never a GA, I don't think.
[13:13:14] <ALT_Burton> Yeah, Thrawn killed Zaarin to take his place.
[13:13:18] <@CD_Vort-Away> Yes he was
[13:13:25] <EN_Lenanor> But Thrawn was 13.
[13:13:25] <@CD_Vort-Away> anyways, off now. REALLY this time.
[13:13:31] <@AD_Fel> Fleet Admiral only, at least in the Hand of Thrawn trilogy, which was as far as I read up to.
[13:13:33] <GA_Daemon> In Star Wars, Thrawn became #12 after Zaarin defected, he was the 13th appointed.
[13:13:34] <[EN]Sheridan> Im taking Zwibble on his offer to write some historical tests.
[13:13:36] * Joins: Branet (~erbranet@200.72.26.242)
[13:13:37] <ALT_Burton> Thrawn was the thirteenth GA ever.
[13:13:37] <@AD_Fel> Sorry, Duology.
[13:13:47] * ACP_Foley salutes Colonelt Branet
[13:13:51] <LT_Drazhar> Pellaeon was def a grand admiral in the NJO series
[13:13:52] <CM_MAR> 40 FPRs messages in my INBOX!!! :p
[13:14:04] <CM_MAR> Somebody was busy?
[13:14:04] <@AD_Fel> MAR: Yes, I processed a total of 72 today.
[13:14:10] * X sets mode: +o Branet
[13:14:18] <@Zwibble> Ah, excellent, Ensign Sheridan. Which historical tests were you thinking of making?
[13:14:19] <@CP_Syrtaras> Yo everyone.
[13:14:20] <CM_MAR> Hi Branet!
[13:14:27] <CM_MAR> Hello Syrt
[13:14:31] <@Branet> Hello!
[13:14:31] <GA_Daemon> Lieutenant Drazhar is correct... Pellaeon became a Grand Admiral after years leading the Imperial Remnant, but it was conferred by the Remnant. The Emperor only appointed 13.
[13:14:31] * @CP_Syrtaras blinks.
[13:14:45] <CM_MAR> ?!?
[13:14:51] <[EN]Sheridan> Well I had an idea for 3 seperate tests
[13:14:53] <@AD_Fel> Drazhar: Never read the NJO. I kind of stopped reading the SW books after a point.
[13:14:53] <@FA_Polanski> I still get doubles on the FPRs... :P
[13:15:17] <[EN]Sheridan> 1 basic History, 1 Advanced and 1 Ship based / general knowledge
[13:15:23] <EN_Lenanor> GA Daemon: Except in our timeline, he appointed 14 and Pellaeon was never GA.
[13:15:24] <LT_Drazhar> Fel: Quitter !! :P
[13:15:32] * @CP_Syrtaras blinks again.
[13:15:35] <@Zwibble> Excellent. Have you looked at the proposal outlines that are posted on the Message Boards?
[13:15:37] <CM_MAR> GA Daemon?
[13:15:38] <@CP_Syrtaras> It's Daemon. Hehe. :P
[13:15:43] * @Zwibble offers Syrt some eyedrops.
[13:15:51] <@AD_Fel> I get doubles as well.
[13:15:58] <@FA_Polanski> Helps with his eyesight ? ;-)
[13:16:00] * LT_Drazhar offers a shovel to pick up Syrt's jaw
[13:16:08] <@Zwibble> Oh, you see him too? Good - I thought maybe I'd just had too much Stolle 400. ;)
[13:16:11] <GA_Daemon> Correct Ensign, because the GE timeline never progressed that many years into the future... In the GE timeline, Thrawn was 13 and I was 14.
[13:16:11] <CM_MAR> A clone?
[13:16:32] <GA_Daemon> Though I was referred to as the "13th", because Thrawn was counted amongst the Emperor's circle of 12 after Zaarin defected. Again, point of view. :-)
[13:16:48] <[EN]Sheridan> Well the question is name 12 GAs post Endor
[13:17:02] <ALT_Burton> That's impossible.
[13:17:15] <@CP_Syrtaras> Sheridan: With or without the self-promoted ones? :P
[13:17:15] <LT_Drazhar> bloody hell, 25 people here, that has to be a record
[13:17:16] <CM_MAR> Can somebosy help me out here? Or I'll go back to sleep! :)
[13:17:19] <ALT_Burton> Two died on the Death Stars and one committed suicide
[13:17:49] <[EN]Sheridan> oh well Ill change it to PRE endor then
[13:17:52] <EN_Lenanor> Batch, Declann, Grant, Grunger, Il-raz, Makati, Pitta, Syn, Takel, Teshik, Tignellinus, Zaarin.
[13:18:08] <EN_Lenanor> (And Thrawn, I suppose.)
[13:18:14] <ALT_Burton> Il-raz was the suckiest GA.
[13:18:25] <LT_Drazhar> http://starwars.wikicities.com/wiki/Cat ... d_Admirals
[13:18:31] <ACP_Foley> heh
[13:18:36] <@Zwibble> Aheridan: viewtopic.php?t=900 , if you haven't seen it already. :)
[13:18:41] * RES_Farmer smiles and nods....
[13:19:15] <@Zwibble> I always thought Tignellinus sounded like some sort of diease of the ligaments. :P
[13:19:21] <@CP_Syrtaras> On a quick note about games, as I believe people spoke about those before: Battlefront II and Empire at War are sooo worth getting.
[13:19:25] <ACP_Foley> :P
[13:19:28] <@FA_Polanski> hmm, Ladders have quite nice turnout.
[13:19:41] * ACP_Foley glares at Munro again
[13:19:56] * ALT_Burton smirks at Foley
[13:20:08] * ACP_Foley starts to burn a hole in Munro
[13:20:20] * ALT_Burton steps behind Ocih
[13:20:34] * ACP_Foley stares thruogh Ocih, and into Munro some more.
[13:20:48] <LT_Drazhar> have the XWA & XVT Ladders been reset?
[13:20:48] <@FA_Polanski> But the ladders severly dominated by the Army. Fel, bring some balance
[13:20:52] <ALT_Burton> Ok, I think Foley is upset about the ladders...
[13:20:52] <@FA_Polanski> Not yet...
[13:21:08] <@FA_Polanski> Working on it. Would have been quicker if La Forge's script worked ;-)
[13:21:10] * ACP_Foley eyes grow red from Munro's understatement
[13:21:15] <LT_Drazhar> h ah aha
[13:21:15] <@CP_Syrtaras> So, err, Mr Daemon, what have you been up to, as of late? :)
[13:21:16] <@GEN_Jansen> <FA_Polanski> But the ladders severly dominated by the Army..
[13:21:18] <@GEN_Jansen> You know it!
[13:21:25] <GA_Daemon> A prophecy of one who would bring balance to the ladders? :-P
[13:21:27] <@AD_Fel> I'll get on my pilots' cases. With attack dogs. ;-)
[13:21:31] <LT_Drazhar> something that LaFo made isnt working, shock horror!!
[13:21:47] <ACP_Foley> Hah
[13:22:02] <@FA_Polanski> GA: Something like that ;-)
[13:22:02] <LT_Drazhar> where is the "Tech Guru" anyway?
[13:22:15] <@FA_Polanski> Playing in the sandpit probably.
[13:22:19] <@GEN_Jansen> Be nice.. If it was not for him, we would not be where we are today with admin and lots of the site..
[13:22:19] <@Zwibble> He made a lovely delete expired cadets feature for me, but I'm hesitant to try it out for fear i'll delete the whole db. :P
[13:22:25] <CM_Muscat> lol
[13:22:37] <@GEN_Jansen> Zwib: We have a backup..:-)
[13:22:37] <@FA_Polanski> I asked him to put that together, I'll check it over ;-)
[13:22:42] <@Zwibble> Although he's still on my good list because of that feature and his exams.
[13:22:49] <GA_Daemon> CP_Syrtaras: Working on many projects, as always; though not all of them SW-related. I think "keeping busy" would be the short answer. ;-)
[13:23:06] <CM_Muscat> FA_Polanski: Playing in the sandpit probably. <-- I believe it is called the "sandbox", sir...
[13:23:07] <@Zwibble> So if anyone harps on him too much, I may have to push him or ehr out of the airlock. :P
[13:23:30] * Joins: Dayton (~coraldayt@coraldayton.users.undernet.org)
[13:23:32] <@FA_Polanski> Close enough.
[13:23:37] * Dayton is now known as SL_Dayton
[13:23:38] <EN_Lenanor> RA Zwibble: He also broke all the Academy exams.
[13:23:40] <CM_MAR> Hello Dayton.
[13:24:01] <@Zwibble> Yes, but he did so at Admiral Fel's request. ;)
[13:24:07] <EN_Lenanor> :-)
[13:24:09] <ACP_Foley> Well... his security for the Chimera has been down lately... heheheh.
[13:24:12] <@Zwibble> Well, not the breaking; he edited them at his request.
[13:24:13] <@AD_Fel> Yes, fixing the academy exams wasn't on my list of favourite things to do.
[13:24:19] <@CP_Syrtaras> I see. Well, not everything can be Star Wars related now, can it? Just out of curiosity (it's been almost a year since its release, after all): What's your opinion on Episode III?
[13:24:20] * ACP_Foley looks at the chocolate Chimera outside the viewports
[13:24:24] <@Zwibble> I say it was Fate letting us know we should stay away from javascript. :)
[13:24:38] <@AD_Fel> The idea was to add basic javascript validation to make sure you cannot submit an exam without filling in your e-mail address & ID-line.
[13:24:49] <ALT_Burton> You can do that with HTML
[13:24:54] <@AD_Fel> Because we used to see lots of very-well-done ones with those two fields left blank.
[13:25:01] <LT_Drazhar> you can do it even easier with PHP
[13:25:14] <@AD_Fel> So we cannot give credit to the officer who did so well.
[13:25:17] <SL_Dayton> And you can do it even easier with everybody not being fricken idiots ;)
[13:25:19] <GA_Daemon> I thought Episode III was excellent, with only two things I found disappointing: The first is that the foundation of the rebellion plots were cut.
[13:25:39] <ALT_Burton> NAME="required_fields"
[13:25:47] <@AD_Fel> Burton, Drazhar: Yes, but I did not tell La Forge how he was supposed to do it, just to do it.
[13:25:48] <ACP_Foley> I found it entertaining that Anakin was more emotional than his pregnant wife :P
[13:25:50] <GA_Daemon> The second, and much greater disappointment, was that Mr Lucas broke with his formula or mirror endings for episodes 1/4, 2/5, etc.
[13:25:52] <ALT_Burton> That's all you need.
[13:26:12] <GA_Daemon> EP3 SHOULD have had an Imperial victory/celebration sequence at or near its ending.
[13:26:21] <LT_Drazhar> SL Dayton: So true, but remember, when you make a fool-proof system, Nature designs a more efficient fool
[13:26:22] <@GEN_Jansen> That it should
[13:26:40] <EN_Lenanor> I was quite disappointed by the ending as well.
[13:26:41] <SL_Dayton> True... but then we have to just imprison the more efficient fools.
[13:26:49] <ACP_Foley> For the Republic... errr Wait. What's this in the newspaper... Oh... For The Empire!!!
[13:26:53] <SL_Dayton> lol.
[13:26:55] <@AD_Fel> Besides, I believe this manner allows us to verify that e-mail is in the form of X@Y.Z where X, Y, and Z are appropriate values.
[13:27:14] <SL_Dayton> You know....
[13:27:22] <SL_Dayton> Is there a way to have it tied into your admin login?
[13:27:24] <@AD_Fel> And possibly that ID-lines follow the slashes convention. But I'm not sure if La Forge did include that.
[13:27:28] <@CP_Syrtaras> Oh, I found the Emperor and Vader on the star destroyer looked quite victorious. :P
[13:27:35] <LT_Drazhar> Fel: I wont argue with you, i spent two weeks trying to make a secure web-email form
[13:27:37] <LT_Drazhar> with php
[13:27:40] <LT_Drazhar> it aint nice
[13:27:40] <SL_Dayton> That would make everything alot more efficient... and it could be kept with very little turnaround time.
[13:27:52] <GA_Daemon> Considering that the galaxy elected the Emperor with such applause, and that the war was over, and that the six movies are showing a pendulum swinging evenly one way and then the other... It looked quite contrived to me NOT to end with that sort of sequence.
[13:28:07] <EN_Lenanor> Good point.
[13:28:12] <ACP_Foley> I wanted to see more Repbulic/Seperatist fighting.
[13:28:13] <GA_Daemon> Or perhaps I'm just personally annoyed that the rebellion got one and we didn't. ;-)
[13:28:15] <ACP_Foley> I don't care about the Jedi
[13:28:45] <EN_Lenanor> I care about them in the sense that I detest them. :-)
[13:28:56] <@AD_Fel> There are quite a few such sequences where things seem contrived to cast easily-recognizable "good guys" and "bad guys".
[13:28:56] * Zwibble is now known as RA_Zwibble
[13:28:59] <ACP_Foley> I think they're overrated
[13:29:03] <CM_Muscat> Time for dinner. Don't have any more surprises while I'm away, I'd hate to miss out...
[13:29:10] <@CP_Syrtaras> Daemon: Maybe the Empire was trying to keep everything cost efficient. ;)
[13:29:18] <@RA_Zwibble> Guten Appetit, Commander. :)
[13:29:22] <@FA_Polanski> Right, I guess I can reset the ladders now... :)
[13:29:24] * CM_Muscat is now known as CMMusc_Away
[13:29:27] <ACP_Foley> Yeah
[13:29:27] <Jax_BFII> ladders!
[13:29:52] <@AD_Fel> At least in the original trilogy, there were characters who acted in ways other than "Purely Good" and "Purely Evil" and "Becoming incrementally more evil with each scene".
[13:29:55] <ACP_Foley> When do these ones end, FA?
[13:30:02] <@CP_Syrtaras> They skipped the party to save money. That Death Star really did cut into the budget, you know? :)
[13:30:03] <[EN]Sheridan> Gotta like the RotJ new celebration sequence where you see naboo. Looks completely off compared to the rest of the scenes
[13:30:12] <SL_Dayton> Oooh.
[13:30:13] <ALT_Burton> June, I'd think.
[13:30:19] <SL_Dayton> Can be BDZ Naboo?
[13:30:23] <SL_Dayton> Wait.
[13:30:27] <SL_Dayton> Yeah, Naboo.
[13:30:28] <SL_Dayton> >.>
[13:30:33] <@FA_Polanski> 30th June.
[13:30:43] <SL_Dayton> That'd get rid of the Gungans for sure.
[13:30:49] <[EN]Sheridan> Not really
[13:31:04] <@AD_Fel> The shot of Tarkin at the end of Episode III was a nice thing to have.
[13:31:07] <ALT_Burton> Just issue hunting permits to everyone for Gungans.
[13:31:26] <[EN]Sheridan> It took them a while to actually find someone to fit the bill
[13:31:28] <GA_Daemon> I really appreciated the Battle of Naboo level in BF just sheerly based upon how many Gungans one can blow away.
[13:31:51] <ACP_Foley> Indeed.
[13:31:53] <@CP_Syrtaras> Fel: Can you name someone in the old trilogy who was not purely good or purely evil. :P
[13:31:53] <ALT_Burton> That map's the default BF ladder match one :P
[13:32:00] * FA_Polanski changes topic to 'Empire Day Today! Imperial High Command Hosting || Ladders Reset! ||All Flight Performance Reports Processed! || http://www.empirereborn.net/'
[13:32:15] <ACP_Foley> Solo?
[13:32:16] <@AD_Fel> For once, a character from the original trilogy (other than Anakin, the Emperor, Yoda, and Obi-Wan) who had an appearance that made sense and was not really contrived (compare with: appearance of Chewbacca).
[13:32:21] <GA_Daemon> I'd say Han Solo
[13:32:23] <ALT_Burton> <CP_Syrtaras> Fel: Can you name someone in the old trilogy who was not purely good or purely evil. :P <-- Vader. He was both. :P
[13:32:33] <ACP_Foley> Ah
[13:32:33] <GA_Daemon> It took him quite a while to become "respectable" ;-)
[13:32:36] <@AD_Fel> Syrt: I am referring to Solo *before* the "re-release" in which Greedo shoots first.
[13:32:37] <SL_Dayton> Uhh................................................. Zuckuss.
[13:32:54] <[EN]Sheridan> Its not evil to shoot first !
[13:32:59] <ACP_Foley> I hated the re-releases
[13:32:59] * Qorl salutes all officers
[13:33:00] <[EN]Sheridan> It was self defense
[13:33:02] <SL_Dayton> His finger itched.
[13:33:16] <@CP_Syrtaras> Fel: That has to be Lucas' most stupid idea ever.
[13:33:17] <[EN]Sheridan> Greedo drew the gun first :)
[13:33:18] <SL_Dayton> And he just happened to itch it on the trigger.
[13:33:23] <GA_Daemon> Besides. "Good" is a point of view.
[13:33:24] <@AD_Fel> Shooting Greedo coolly under the table defined him as a rough and tough guy with nerves of steel.
[13:33:24] <@RA_Zwibble> I need to by the "Han shot first!" t-shirt one of these days.
[13:33:27] <@RA_Zwibble> *buy
[13:33:30] <SL_Dayton> And remember kids - possession is 9/10ths of the law.
[13:33:43] <ALT_Burton> What's the other tenth?
[13:33:44] <SL_Dayton> And since Greedo drew first, Han Solo was in self defence ;)
[13:33:51] <SL_Dayton> Being drunk off your arse.
[13:33:52] <[EN]Sheridan> Pitty he didnt just do that with Jabba
[13:34:06] <@AD_Fel> Having Greedo shoot first eliminates the character arc that Solo had throughout the story.
[13:34:23] <CM_MAR> Nemesis Pilots: Good job with all that Flying! :p
[13:35:03] <@AD_Fel> 72 FPRs is nothing to scoff at... :-)
[13:35:25] <CM_MAR> Most of them were Nemesis files. :)
[13:35:37] <CM_MAR> if not all. :p
[13:35:43] * Qorl is now known as EF_Qorl
[13:35:44] <@AD_Fel> There were two more by Ensign Hermann, processed after his transfer to the Reserves.
[13:35:49] <@CP_Syrtaras> See, that's what I mean. Look at the Jedi and the Sith - neither of them are good or evil. Both are extremists. The former pursue a philosophy of "let go, be calm, be passive", whereas the latter pursue a philosophy of "emotions to the extreme".
[13:36:12] <CM_MAR> Sith = Good.
[13:36:22] <CM_MAR> Sith = Passion.
[13:36:30] <CM_MAR> Sith = Me.
[13:36:33] * SL_Dayton becomes the Uber Grey Sedi?
[13:36:36] <SL_Dayton> err
[13:36:40] <SL_Dayton> Uber Grey Sidi?
[13:36:51] <ALT_Burton> So it shall be, Grey Sedi-Sidi!
[13:36:59] <SL_Dayton> lol.
[13:37:09] <ALT_Burton> oo, pizza!
[13:37:12] * ALT_Burton wanders off
[13:37:13] <CM_MAR> Jedi = Lazy
[13:37:56] <CM_MAR> Jedi = Lost
[13:37:58] <@CP_Syrtaras> "No emotional attachment" and, by that, screwing up Anakin's life rather completely, is actually a very evil thing.
[13:38:39] <ACP_Foley> Anakin made me lose respect for Vader. The best thing he could come up with... while being burned alive is "I hate you!!!"
[13:38:56] <ACP_Foley> Vader is still awsome, but it just took a portion of Vader's coolness away
[13:39:00] <GA_Daemon> Though for the record, I will point out that the Jedi are actually more extremist than the Sith, given that the Sith embrace all aspects of the Force, and the Jedi are entirely devoted to the one with complete exclusion of the other.
[13:39:16] <@RA_Zwibble> And the Jedi's policies are rather contradictory anyhow. They go around telling Luke tot rust his feelings all the time, and then tell him he's letting his feelings get in the way when he goes to Cloud City to rescue his friends.
[13:39:20] <@AD_Fel> I have also long talked about how I feel that Anakin did not live up to the character of Darth Vader set in the original trilogy.
[13:39:22] <ALT_Burton> Back.
[13:39:34] <@RA_Zwibble> Yes, that was the biggest disappointment for me.
[13:39:42] <ALT_Burton> On the topic of Jedi being bad for Anakin...
[13:39:43] <ALT_Burton> http://www.shortpacked.com/d/20050523.html
[13:39:51] <@RA_Zwibble> I thought Anakin could have been much better casted and scripted.
[13:39:53] <@AD_Fel> He seemed too whiny, had too much teenage angst, and there was never even the spark that was convincing that this is the man in the Black Armour.
[13:39:59] <GA_Daemon> RA_Zwibble... Similar to how "only the Sith deal in absolutes" is an absolutist statement? ;-)
[13:40:27] <ACP_Foley> Like I said, he was more emotional than his pregnant wife
[13:40:39] <@AD_Fel> I mean, what could be more scary than a two-metre tall black-armour-clad sith lord?
[13:40:42] <SL_Dayton> ROFLMFAO Munro.
[13:40:51] <ALT_Burton> And his wife's a politician.
[13:41:14] <@AD_Fel> And the only thing that could make him less scary is to reveal that on the inside, he's basically a whiny, petulant, spoiled child.
[13:41:21] <SL_Dayton> lol.
[13:41:23] <@CP_Syrtaras> This "don't go help your friends" from Yoda is another example of how stubborn the Jedi really are. I mean, yeah, the "no emotional attachment" thing worked so *brilliantly* for Anakin, so let's try to do it to his son *again*.
[13:41:35] <SL_Dayton> lol.
[13:41:37] <EF_Qorl> The Sith just gave the empire a bad reputation. who needs the force when you got ISD's :D
[13:41:49] <ACP_Foley> I agree
[13:41:51] <GA_Daemon> Yet Anakin/Vader's purpose was to bring balance... It was his absolute failure as an individual to successfully be Jedi or Sith that allowed him to fulful his destiny.
[13:41:54] <ACP_Foley> The Force got too powerful
[13:42:00] <ACP_Foley> I hate Jedi.
[13:42:02] <SL_Dayton> I say "Sure, you want to go be married? Go ahead! Make sure you're done slaying Sith by dinner time!"
[13:42:02] <@AD_Fel> Syrtaras: At least that warning had some meaning. Yoda could sense that Luke was going to face Vader, and obviously going to lose.
[13:42:06] <ACP_Foley> Sith are ok, but I don't care for them
[13:42:09] <@CP_Syrtaras> And Luke's "dude, friends come first" reaction is actually one of the biggest and coolest "Screw you" moments in movie history. :P
[13:42:16] <SL_Dayton> lol.
[13:42:25] <@FA_Polanski> I always was suprised how misguided the Jedi were in respect to the prophecy - what else could it mean ? why is all light a balance?:)
[13:42:43] <@AD_Fel> Syrtaras: Also, there is the possibility that Yoda intended for Luke to disobey.
[13:42:47] <SL_Dayton> Because their head's weight way too much?
[13:42:51] <[EN]Sheridan> DV never really proved that the force is bigger than a DS
[13:42:55] <ACP_Foley> Anakin did bring balance to the force.
[13:42:59] <ACP_Foley> The Jedi were running everything
[13:43:04] <SL_Dayton> Just not in the way the Jedi thought.
[13:43:06] <ACP_Foley> Wiping them out brought a balance
[13:43:08] <@FA_Polanski> Of course :)
[13:43:27] <ACP_Foley> Then it was again, 2 on 2. Yoda, Kenobi, Anakin and Palpatine as the big guys
[13:43:50] <[EN]Sheridan> Not counting Exar Kun, new emperor... yayayayayayada
[13:43:55] <SL_Dayton> http://www.penny-arcade.com/images/2000/20000818h.jpg
[13:44:06] <EF_Qorl> Foley: But the sith where evil, wich is not good considering the empire is the good guys.
[13:44:12] <GA_Daemon> Then all four perished, leaving Luke, as Obiwan told him later, not the last of the old but the first of the new.
[13:44:21] <ACP_Foley> That's a point of view :P
[13:44:28] <[EN]Sheridan> Sith arent evil, they are just stingy selfish pricks
[13:44:32] <ALT_Burton> A certain point of view. :P
[13:44:44] <ACP_Foley> Yeah, the Jedi are gonna have a big mass extinction again soon :P
[13:44:49] <SL_Dayton> http://www.penny-arcade.com/images/2004/20040315h.jpg
[13:44:52] <@AD_Fel> I mean, if you think about it, Yoda may have entirely realized that Luke needed to go face Vader, and told him not to go as a test of whether Luke had the conviction to disobey the teachings when the situation called for it.
[13:44:54] <SL_Dayton> Think he's a Miraluka?
[13:45:19] <ALT_Burton> Give us the page it's on.
[13:45:22] <ALT_Burton> Not the image itself.
[13:45:32] * SL_Dayton thwaps.
[13:45:44] <@AD_Fel> Is it Thrawn who said something along the lines of "Any ideology followed to its logical end leads precisely to destruction" or something like that?
[13:45:51] <@CP_Syrtaras> Luke's backed away from both jedi and sith eventually, whereas Vader had embraced both. The "light" Jedi were gone, as were, with Palpatine's death and Vader's redemption, the "dark" Sith. Tadaa - balance. :P
[13:45:51] <SL_Dayton> http://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/2004/03/15
[13:45:54] <SL_Dayton> Fine fine fine.
[13:46:00] <SL_Dayton> Complain Munro.
[13:46:20] <ALT_Burton> Hey, the title of the strip is on the page :p
[13:46:26] <ALT_Burton> And sometimes that gives you the answer.
[13:46:33] * SL_Dayton thwaps.
[13:46:56] <ACP_Foley> I think the "Grey" Jedi's are cooler
[13:47:06] <SL_Dayton> Like your mom? :P
[13:47:12] <@AD_Fel> Well, regardless of the actual quotation, the purpose was to convey that blindly following an ideology or dogma, regardless of which one it actually is, can only end badly.
[13:47:15] <ACP_Foley> Eh?
[13:47:21] <ALT_Burton> Kyle Katarn falls under the category of Grey Jedi.
[13:47:29] <ACP_Foley> Yeah
[13:47:31] <SL_Dayton> lol. It's an inside joke that none here would know, Foley.
[13:47:36] <ACP_Foley> OK
[13:47:55] <ACP_Foley> I'm still not sure if I'm being insulted :P
[13:47:59] <@RA_Zwibble> Amen to that, Admiral. :)
[13:48:24] <@AD_Fel> Guess nobody's heard of it. Okay, I'll make it a quotation in my name, then. For once I'm on record with a Thrawn-like quotation. :-)
[13:48:57] <@RA_Zwibble> Huzzah! :)
[13:49:18] <@RA_Zwibble> I'm looking for a new quote myself, as nobody on the mbs seems to speak ancient norse, oddly enough. :P
[13:49:31] <ACP_Foley> I speak fluent ancien Norse :P
[13:49:34] <@RA_Zwibble> I was thinking of a B5 one, though a Thrawn one would likely be more appropriate.
[13:49:35] <ACP_Foley> *ancient
[13:49:47] <@CP_Syrtaras> We're practically just a bunch of uneducated cavemen, Zwib. :P
[13:50:08] <ALT_Burton> Hey, anyone up for a 2v2 EaW match?
[13:50:09] <@AD_Fel> How ancient? Like Viking-ancient? If so I speak several words. Odin, Thor, Tyr, et cetera. ;-)
[13:50:14] <ACP_Foley> Sure
[13:50:24] <ACP_Foley> Blargh :P
[13:50:31] <@RA_Zwibble> Practically, Syr? :P
[13:50:41] <@CP_Syrtaras> Zwib: How about "Only one human Captain has ever survived battle with a Minbari fleet. He is behind me. You are in front of me. If you value your lives - be somewhere else."
[13:51:06] <@RA_Zwibble> I could be sexist here and make some reference to that being only natural as you're all men, but I am above such petty gender-based squabbling. :P
[13:51:19] <@CP_Syrtaras> This, btw, is the biggest "Don't **** with me" moment in the history of everything.
[13:51:38] <@RA_Zwibble> The whole Mimbari part doesn't really fit in, I'm afraid. :P
[13:51:43] <ACP_Foley> Nice, Zwib :P
[13:51:51] <@RA_Zwibble> Yes, I believe you've said yo about, oh, 500 times already. :P
[13:51:56] <ACP_Foley> Burton, I'll fight ya in a one on one :P
[13:52:05] <ALT_Burton> Alright.
[13:52:08] <LT_Drazhar> im in for some EaW
[13:52:09] <ALT_Burton> I'll host in the Empire room
[13:52:12] <ACP_Foley> K
[13:52:13] <@CP_Syrtaras> Zwib: And it can't be said often enough. :P
[13:52:14] <[EN]Sheridan> Are we using Bastion as our RP base ?
[13:52:26] <ALT_Burton> Password will be reborn
[13:52:36] <ALT_Burton> Everyone else inclined to join is welcome.
[13:52:47] <@CP_Syrtaras> How about cutting it to "If you value your lives - be somewhere else." ? :P
[13:52:51] <ALT_Burton> Make sure you have EaW patches to 1.2!
[13:52:57] <ACP_Foley> Eep
[13:52:58] <ALT_Burton> *patched
[13:53:02] <@RA_Zwibble> Hrm, that's actually a pretty apt quote for the Academy ... :P
[13:53:03] <@AD_Fel> Burton: I'll give this game a miss, but another time.
[13:53:14] <@AD_Fel> And I believe it's 1.0.2. ;-)
[13:53:23] <ALT_Burton> It's also known as 1.02
[13:53:34] <ALT_Burton> The point is... it starts with 1 and ends with 2 :P
[13:53:36] <@CP_Syrtaras> Fel: It is, but they refer to it as the 1.2 patch, as far as I know.
[13:54:10] <@AD_Fel> Maybe it's all my years of Open-Source Software experience that makes me want to differentiate heavily between 1.2 and 1.02.
[13:54:38] <EF_Qorl> btw is it just me or does anyone else think that EaW and Rebellion (in some countrys supremasy) is almost like the same game. exept the space and landbattles.
[13:54:46] <[EN]Sheridan> Is the GE capital Bastion ?
[13:55:00] <GA_Daemon> It was...
[13:55:17] <GA_Daemon> Though it may not still be? FA Polanski? :-)
[13:56:16] <@GEN_Jansen> No, it is not..
[13:56:26] <[EN]Sheridan> Sate Prestige is the guy who took charge after Endor ?
[13:56:47] <EF_Qorl> Note, that I only saw a friend of mine play a little while.
[13:57:08] <@FA_Polanski> Elrood is the new one :)
[13:57:27] <@FA_Polanski> However, as some will know, it'll be a lot easier to "navigate" the Empire shortly :)
[13:57:46] <GA_Daemon> Sate Pestage was the Emperor's Grand Vizier, and I believe he is recognised as being one of the "Emperors" after Palpatine.
[13:58:13] <ACP_Foley> Is it up, Munro?
[13:58:17] <GA_Daemon> However he was overthrown by his fellow Imperials, stripped of all titles and possessions, and the only reason he wasn't executed is that he chose voluntary exile.
[13:58:25] <ALT_Burton> it is.
[13:58:50] <GA_Daemon> Of course, he knew of the Emperor's pending return, and his "exile" was to go to Byss to assist the Emperor in returning as a clone.
[13:59:10] <ALT_Burton> So how is his death at Ciutric explained?
[13:59:42] <GA_Daemon> In what year after Endor, ALT Burton? I didn't think Pestage's fate was ever certain.
[13:59:51] <ACP_Foley> Munro, I don't see it in the Empire cahnnel

[14:00:24] <ACP_Foley> I did, but will try again
[14:00:51] <@FA_Polanski> Xfire ?
[14:01:14] <SL_Dayton> Well, time to go to sleep.
[14:01:18] <SL_Dayton> He's probably on the UK server.
[14:01:24] * SL_Dayton is now known as D[a]yton
[14:01:36] <[EN]Sheridan> Offical SW site dosent have anything on him
[14:02:00] <ALT_Burton> His actual name is Sate Pestage
[14:02:35] <[EN]Sheridan> not there
[14:02:40] <ALT_Burton> http://www.theforce.net/swenc/newdescr. ... 9102&tab=d
[14:03:32] <[EN]Sheridan> Palpatine died at Endor, and the second Death Star was destroyed. With this crippling blow, the Imperial reign of terror over the galaxy ended. The Rebellion began forming a New Republic, and worlds across the galaxy celebrated their newfound freedom.

[14:13:19] <@RA_Zwibble> Likewise. :)
[14:13:31] <ACP_Foley> Nice to meet you for the first time, Sir.
[14:14:33] <EN_Soulein> nice to see you again sir
[14:15:23] <GA_Daemon> I do indeed hope so, Fleet Admiral. The Empire may still be vast, but in these trying times, it is even more necessary that factions such as this demonstrate to the rest the distinction and honour that comes with the Imperial name.

[14:47:44] <CM_Muscat> Well, I would offer, but firstly I would suck, and second, I'd have to reboot into Windows, which would suck. :-)
