Ballad of the 503rd: Star Wars WW

[Lex-Kat]

Your Sith magic will not work on me.

[billtodamax]

No no no, that's not a sith mind trick. It's a jedi mind trick.

More proof that they were the bad guys all along.

[hap_hazard]

Why would you want to do that? Am I not dead enough?

I have 4. My closest competition has 3.

Thought I was almost at autolynch.

[Internet Flea]

No no no, that's not a sith mind trick. It's a jedi mind trick.

Way to go Rabbit; promoted to the Bridge, AND to a Jedi!

Way to go Rabbit; promoted to the Bridge, AND to a Jedi!

Well, if I'm using Force powers, and working for the Empire...wouldn't that make me a Dark Jedi? (Rule of two, and all)

[Trixie]

Actually, Empire did not use Dark Jedi, but it had a number of force-using organizations: Prophets, Emperor's Operatives, Inquisition, Royal Guard, Dark Troopers, various singular officials capable of doing so (Executors, Warlords, Advisors, and Admirals) and of course Sith.

Two Sith, and others trained in the Dark side.
Not the actual "Dark Jedi" but Dark Force Users all the same.

Edit: Though, granted, The Empire is not my specialty in SW knowledge. I'm more of a Old Republic/Clone Wars kind of girl.

[Lex-Kat]

Trixie's correct.

Emperor Palpatine didn't allow other force adepts to become to powerful. He kept to the rule of two stringently, not wanting any other to take his place.

That's why he made use of the cloning facilities, so that when the Dark Force ate away at his soul too much, he'd just transfer his consciousness into a young clone, and start over fresh. He planned to literally live forever.

Even Mara Jade isn't considered a Jedi until Luke convinces her to come to his side. Her training consisted mostly of things she'd need to be a useful assassin, spy, and lover. Her skills as a Jedi were intentionally stunted, so that she'd never be a threat to Palpatine.

She's powerful, don't get me wrong. But her potential was greater than how she was trained by the Emperor. If I remember correctly, even Vader knew nothing of her. She was a hidden weapon, Palpatine planned to unleash on Vader, if necessary.

The only other Dark Jedi I can think of that was in the Empire during Palpatine's reign was Kam Solusar, who betrayed the Jedi to save himself, vowing to serve the Emperor and train those the Emperor sent to him.

I'll edit this post when I get home to include his name, if no one remembers who I'm talking about.

They make it fairly clear in the books after the movies that most of the Force users used by the Empire at below Jedi level.

[RabbitHoleLost]

In the end, I really just don't enjoy arguing semantics.

[Lex-Kat]

Awwww. But... I love Star Wars semantics.

[Internet Flea]

I'll argue semantics with you, but keep in mind most of my knowledge comes from the Robot Chicken special.

[TheLaughingMan]

Nightshift End. Narration soon.

[TheLaughingMan]

I'm going to leave this here as my last will and testament, seeing as how my death is inevitable with these brain surgeons as my allies.

*There is a key attached to the letter.*

I leave my gun to Number Seven. He won't shut up about it as is, so perhaps this might save everyone some inanity.

I leave my life savings to getting you boys proper training, so no one else might be slaughtered thanks to you.

You were all obnoxious and I'm surprised you haven't accidently shot yourselves into space yet. Dammit Twenty-One.

Bury me with my Beatles albums.

The Engineer.
*Heavy
*Number Six
*Number Thirteen

P.S. Wookiee, it might be in your best intrest to know I've hidden a tracking device on this letter. Next time you try robbing a grave, make whether or not the deceased had half a brain before looting them.

So we got Vader and a bunch of stormtroopers, possibly with items, against Chewbacca, Skywalker, C-3PO and R2-D2, possibly other rebels, possibly with items.

The Fiery Tower
The CyberWolf

At least four rebels, nine players. I think we're in trouble.

Unless Lord Vader has something, and at this point we should be careful of anyone claiming to have information since one missed lynch and we're losing, meaning the bad guys might decide it's worth the risk, I propose we look into the Lex/Rabbit lynch yesterday.

I came up with logic against Lex, which The Fiery Tower followed on. Rabbit made it clear Lex was guilty with a Baner claim. Trixie pointed at Rabbit, then FC joined the Lex wagon. Then, in my opinion most suspicious part, The Cake pointed at Rabbit for no real reason. He's also someone new, and thus maybe unlikely to have been scried by Lord Vader earlier.

[TFT]

Alright, since we're in such a close game, here we go.

I'm Lord Vader.

Every single contact I've had this game has died. I got into contact with the baner, the sharpshooter(It was too late for me to save him by the time I got on), Obi-wan...

And yesterday I scried Luke Skywalker: Fleeing Coward.

[Trixie]

FC is always okay in my book

[Murska]

All right, that settles that. Fleeing Coward.

EDIT: Unless this is a fake and there's a real Vader out there. If so, claim now.

[Lex-Kat]

3. Lex-kat Assorted Rebel

Rabbit, I think you have my role wrong. It was A. Soorteed, the Rebel. Her first name is Allysia. She's a blue skinned Twilek.

[TheLaughingMan]

Rabbit, I think you have my role wrong. It was A. Soorteed, the Rebel. Her first name is Allysia. She's a blue skinned Twilek.

No no no, this is Star Wars! Her name would be Alyys'ia and, given she's a woman, she'd have to be shown in some ridiculous leather outfit at some point in the game.

[Lex-Kat]

The name change, I can handle. As to the leather outfit... Not so fast. She was running around in the ridiculous leather outfit the entire game. Sheesh. What kind of spice runner do you think she is?

[Fleeing Coward]

Well, you forced my hand The Fiery Tower.

Cyberwolf is C-3PO, Trixie is Chewbacca and I'm going to assume that since you're claiming Vader, you're actually Luke. I've remained quiet all game because I can't scry a single villager that remained alive and our baner is dead.

[TFT]

Ahahaha. Fleeing Coward, such blatant lies.

Just look at the voting records.

If you want proof, we can both scry someone, and see who's right and who isn't.

I'd suggest The Cake because he is suspicious, but we can pick anyone.

We can also pick one of FC's choices to lynch today if we do that.

EDIT: There's also a reason why I called Internet Flea out. It's because I had just scried him. Just food for thought.

[Fleeing Coward]

Sounds good to me. Trixie or Cyberwolf - take your pick. Lynching either of those 2 will prove my innocence and show that you're the one lying through your teeth.

[TFT]

No, all it proves is that you're willing to sacrifice teammates if it means you can live on.

[Fleeing Coward]

No, all it proves is that you're willing to sacrifice teammates if it means you can live on.

So let me get this straight: You're saying I'm Luke and I'm in contact with both the Masons and the Baner and am now making a sacrifice play to get you lynched even though Obi Wan has been dead since day 2?

The only possible way that I can know that Trixie and Cyberwolf are what I say they are is because I am actually Vader and I scried them so stop digging yourself deeper by saying that I'm sacrificing teammates that I'd have no way of knowing if I'm actually Luke.

There are items in this game, that the wolves get by killing people.(I'm interpreting the rule correctly, right?) It's not impossible to assume that they would use them to try to find people. Or, you could just be pulling 2 names out of you're butt knowing that if you're wrong, then we are down in people for sure, and if you're right you have an alibi the rest of the game.

But yea. You've missed 2 days, so how have you scried 2 villagers and 2 power roles in 3 nights?(We are on dayshift 6 right? It doesn't help there is a lack of numbers) You've also I think voted for Murska twice, who's looking innocent, and... Rabbit, who was a stormtrooper. Doesn't help your case any.

[TheLaughingMan]

Nnnnnope. Just gets passed to a random person if the previous owner didn't use it.
