In Thrawn's description, should he protect the Emperor, he and Thrawn get to communicate off-thread. Conclusion: this is the only off-thread communication available to the Goodguys. True? False?

True, they can communicate in a special forum created just for them. There they can coordinate their efforts.

triggercut wrote:In Mara's description, should she be "turned" by Luke, she gains access to the Rebel forums upon joining that team. Conclusion: the Rebels may communicate freely off-thread and coordinate. True? False?

True again. The rebels can communicate in a seperate forum. If Mara is turned by Luke, then she will join the Rebels on the Rebel forum. If found by the Emperor first, then she will stay an Imperial.

Excellent opening write-up, bb2112.

LordMortis wrote:That said, assuming Darth can kill someone and Rukh can kill someone and Greedo can kill someone timing on a killing spree ought to happen. The issue of course being that we got nothing on which of them is actually in the game.

Look at me actually trying to read a few rules before getting too deep in the game...

... And Mara can kill someone and announce her kill first. That's a whole lot of killing. Of course Mara would then commit to being discovered either by Luke or the Emperor if he is the game. Can we assume the emperor is in the game? If so then he scans before Luke.

If Mara exists then a lot depends on her and she is much more likely to be found by the rebels first and the Emperor has 20 to field from and Luke likely only has 13.

Does it benefit us to try for a killing spree and out a bunch of good loyal members of the empire or is it better to hold for discoveries and trust (or try to define) that people aren't lying about those discoveries?


Coming out and expecting to live is a mistake until we can somehow confirm Han has used his power.


Waiting to last minute lynch will be a mistake, on the chance that Lando is in the game. He's a great faux target for the rebels to go after buying them a night kill.



bb, can we assume the Chewbacca can only rend someone who vote on him and not that a rebel can vote on him and he can choose to kill anyone?

God I hope so otherwise the rebels are sitting way too pretty.

I'll try to check in more today and possibly tomorrow before I leave. I may even try to read the rules again.

Sorry if I was not clear. The Emperor is the one role that is guaranteed to be in the game. Everyone else is random.

Chewbacca can rend anyone he wants as long as there is at least one Imperial vote on him.

You might have been very clear. I miss details and it sometimes takes many readings to not gloss over something unless things are spelled out old Avalon Hill lawyerese style.

Good (or um bad) to know. Sorry guys. I'm likely to sit out and cower in a corner for the game day unless there is a clear direction for me to follow before I leave tomorrow.

Happy 4th lads.

i still choose bubbles... until someone piques my interest... or tuesday hits and I get bored

OOWW: You will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy. We must be cautious.

Join me in running Q up the pole. He made it to the last day of the last game, he needs a break.

you rebel scum and your 4th celebrations...

Happy Independence Day! Don't let the Emperor know I said that!

Semaj wrote:Happy 4th lads.

Aye. A very happy 4th to all.

Some early observations:

1. Lassr:

Lassr wanted to lynch me at the start of Day 1 in the first Bond game where he was evil and I was good. Coincidence? Or an evil Lassr mindframe in play again?

2. Chaosraven:

Remus West wrote:Chaosraven who reminded me that he hooked up with Erin many years before I did

That sounds like something only a rebellious cad would do. One in particular springs to mind:



3. LordMortis:

LordMortis wrote:I'm likely to sit out and cower in a corner for the game day

Cowering in a corner is hardly the behaviour of a good and true servant of the Emperor.

There seems to be a lot of un-Imperial thinking going on in this corner of the galaxy.

However, since all of these have checked in, let's see what  tru1cy 
 
has to say when he arrives.

Well I figured that was coming due to my last play those few months ago. Glad to be back and I will be aleast a bit more active after the holiday.

And due to as request from some obscure source that has sent me a erie feeling in the force, I'm sorry  Remus 
 

eerie.

that's to funny

Maybe his obscure source is in Pennsylvania.

Fascinating.

yes

My first vote! How exciting!

I'd like to say more...but I'm not sure that there's much else to say yet. I guess there's the whole "poke the silent" thing, but with the weekend of the 4th it probably makes sense to wait at least until later today before deciding who is 'silent.'

You beat me to this.

Q is still due, you rebel scum!!

Finally got a chance to read through the intro write up. Nicely put together.

coopasonic eyed the others in the room trying to clear the fog in his brain and remember who any of these people were. There was one seven feet tall, covered in fur and looking particularly aggressive. He decided to look elsewhere. The trashcan on wheels looked interesting. coopasonic's instincts honed by years of imperial training were confusing him more than helping him. He decided the good guys dressed better and pointed to a guy that looked to be wearing second hand homespun pajamas, but looked more attentive than the rest.

I utilize my space well, therefore dense is a compliment. I'm going out on a limb here and I'll call you.... Lando.. Despite being a crafty bastard, I'll break you eventually.

You know what it really sad about this? I put "too" because Chaosraven had used "to". I take it I used the appropriate one though even if it was completely unintended. I still have no clue what the rule is even though I know there was a really easy one someone posted a while ago.

Let me know when you guys get done throwing oround quotes and movie lines and implications of far boy-ness and want to get to the actual buisiness of ruling the empire and oppressing civilians.

I've been trying to oppress Mr Bubbles but I am not strong enough in the force to get him. I need help with that one...the force is strong....well, you get the idea.

Too = also.

To = part of verb or a location designator.

Bascially, if you say the sentence and can replace your the word with "also", then use too.

Incidentally -  Remus 
 


Only a bleeding heart Rebel would admit the truth.

.

there is also the quantitative version of too when describing an excessive amount; as in his "too dense" comment

Like, "Too many grammarians and not enough Rebel-hunting"?

I've got my vote on Q for now. I have no leads, no visions or anything. I can only analyze text. Not enough of that yet to change my vote.
Still early though.

We have a plethora of the Former and a sad smattering of the latter.

are you implying you have the ability ot use the force?

Me, I'm one of those guys who follows orders, nods his head properly and then gets shot in servic of the empire.

At least the severance package is nice.

Semaj, how was your 4th of July weekend? The masses are curious to know if you celebrated for those rebel scum on that little blue planet in a galaxy far, far away.

not reading the thread too closely I see you rebellious rascal. Why should you when you already know your teammates names...

No bigger firework than Alderaan. Heck, they even had Bail Organa hosting the festivities.

I think I'm ready to throw my hat in for  Semaj
