yup, back in tha day...

As for updates/work, I don't know if it's my browser or what, but I have a hard time navigating back to the 'Message Boards' home page.  Say, like right now as I'm looking at this thread, I can scroll up and see the 'Message Boards' link with the others on the top left side of the windowhighlighted in yellow, but it's not letting me hit it so I can navigate back to it.  It's just dead when I try to click on it.  When I'm in the chat it's not even there, and when I try to hit 'Recent Posts' I'm sent to a page that says I've hit a bad link or something like that. 

Also, just as a side note, my karma thingy never got reactivated.  I see my old score in the top members board, but I can't give/take anybody else's karma and I can't  the option in my profile options to reactivate it.  Just a heads up in case any other members are having the same issue; I don't mind it either way

Thanks boss; now that I'm on high-speed I can really appreciate the hard work you put into this site - great work!

For reals.  The Robot Chicken series for Star Wars is funny and all, but how low is such marketing to RC, Family guy, and anybody else who waves a buck under Lucas's nose taking the franchise?  And these Lucas Films endevors are even worse; at least RC and Family Guy are SUPPOSED to be spoofs that poke fun at Star Wars - The unreined rewriting of established cannon material by mindless kid shows that are failing to make up for the flaws in the prequals are ruining everything about the expanded universe.

That being said, there will always be the Original Trilogy, and as long as ppl market spin-offs and products from sucessful films, there will always be Star Wars material out there.  The only question is how poluted it will be with trash from the newer matieral.

You should see them first chance you get; any fan of Star Wars will LOVE the inside humor.  The Robot Chicken episodes totally own the SW Family Guy shows imo.  Episodes with the Emperor were probably my favorite, with Boba's appearence at the end of Ep. VI a tie   

Hopefully McCoy or one of the more studied fans will see this and will be able to answer better then I can.  From my view, it seems that the cannon has been changed considerably IF the cartoons are taken seriously, as Lucas seems to be taking them.  Some say that it all can be ironed out and work together, but I'm not seeing it.  Too much of the Mandalorian cutlure, which the RC books focus and elaborate on, is getting rewritten in each of the new cartoons that focus on the Mandos.  Royalty, pacivism, Death Watch dominating the few militaristic Mandos that are left; all of this flys in the face of KT's and other's established works.  And I believe that Traviss will no longer be writing any more RC books because all her work has been trashed by this newer material.  If she thinks everything has changed to that degree, then that says a lot.

You might notice from some of the other threads that I'm not one of KT's biggest fans for supporters.  But these cartoons are a blight on everything the real Mandalorian fans love and support, and I cring at the thought that kid shows are now taking priority over serious written work in the Star Wars universe

butter the popcorn that was left over.  Mace had so much popcorn that he called his friends and poped in his favorite movie, which happened to be...

NAME - Kre-Nash *Goes by Nash*

GENDER - Male

SPECIES - Undocumented Native Species of Balkest.  A reptilian humanoid species looking like THIS, THIS *the short upturned horns indicate females, while longer downturned horns indicate males, the length identifying age* and THIS.  The species calls themselves Armodians, and although they are sentient, they are in a very early evolutionary stage of hunter-gathers.  Their colonies range widely in size, varying from a few families to several thousand.  No matter the size of the colony however, there is no central form of government or law.  Armodians communicate in hisses, growls, and whistles *similar to THIS.  They live in underground colonies, taking advantage of the same natural underground caverns and ideal tunneling soil common to the planet that attracted the Kubaz to the system.  They are nocturnal, venturing out into the jungles at night to hunt using simple hand forged weapons like stone-pointed spears and clubs, or often just using only their large claws and jagged teeth.  They have gone undiscovered because their homes are primarily located in the more southern rainforests closer to the planet’s equator, a region with much higher precipitation then the Kubaz prefer.  They are incredibly strong, fast, and agile hunters, able to run down most pray, although they prefer to ambush their victims.  Climbing comes very naturally to them , both in their home tunnels as well as in the trees on the surface.  Their double-jointed ankles allow them to climb straight down with ease.   

APPEARANCE - Dark grey with a black stripe running from the tip of his nose, down his back, and all the way to the end of his tale with tiger-like stripes running from it horizontally around his chest and legs.  Claws are black, and his eyes are grayish-silver around a large black split pupil.  A deep red patch also marks each side of Kre-Nash’s throat.  Extremely muscular build.  Wears a large dark brown leather belt with a long ragged leather loincloth.  Also wears leather bracers on his forearms and shins.   

HEIGHT - 6 foot 5 inches; about average for his species

AGE - 17 *Armodians age faster then humans; 12 and up is considered a full grown adult*

WEAPONS - Kre-Nash’s primary weapon is his spear, while he also carries a hand-axe and a knife in his belt

TRIBE STATUS - Hunter/Warrior

SHORT BIO - Kre-Nash had been hunting on the outskirts of his tribe’s territory when he felt something strange.  An unexplainable urge took hold of him, and he continued to travel north away from his home.  The further he traveled, the more consumed he became by the invisible hand that had taken control of his actions.  As he left the humid rainforests and entered the woods of forbidden regions, it became easier to succumb to anger, hate, and rage.  As game became more and more rare, he killed creatures with abandon, leaving carcasses behind him untouched for food.  He felt stronger and faster as he progressed.  One night, as the pulsating drive that pounded in his brain reached its highest pitch, Kre-Nash discovered the alien colonies that had taken root on the planet.  Finding a cave in the hills between the surface colony and the entrance to the underground hive, Kre-Nash heeded the voices that echoed in his skull; to kill. 

*Ok, obviously my character has fallen under the influence of the Sith artifacts.  He is very susceptible to Force influence, especially since he’s barely above animal instinct as it is, and therefore doesn’t know to even try and fight it.  He would be a pawn in the hand of a Sith character, but even with the Dark Side influence on the planet a Jedi would find it easy to influence him.  That’s weakness #1.  Weakness two would be light.  His specie’s  natural aversion to sunlight has transformed into a vampire-like pain causing experience.  Sudden artificial bright lights will have similar affects.  Those are your two weaknesses folks.  Other then that this dude runs and jumps damn near as well as a raptor, and climbs like a squirrel.  He’s been camped out between the two settlements for a few months now, and is something of a monster-tale that the populace semi don’t believe in, but don’t quite ignore either on a dark night. 

Anyone still game to play? *

I'll stick with my boys in Delta

Skill wise they're close to the same, but they just have a level of confidence that Omega lacks.  Not to mention they've got Sev on their side; has to add a couple points 

(Long time-no see Zoncxs; good to see you're still out there!  Have you talked to V_M at all?  If we get him back I'll start working on a new post NOW)

Life in the Dune Sea right?  Yeah, it's been well over 100 for a while here as well in my corner of the state; I think the forcast said 111 for today.  And no clouds, no wind, nothing at all to take the edge off of it...  At least it had kind of a late start.  The last few years we've been holding out until really late in May and even early June before we start breaking 100.  Usually we're up there once or twice before April is out...  Good ol' Globle Warming eh?   

This vid brings back memories... heheheee

Great stuff - I still think Vader on the golf course if my favorite   

Gonna assume Mel is still having internet troubles, as I still havn't heard back about the PM I sent her.  If I don't hear something soon I'll post with my least game changing character concept, so hopefully we can get this thing moving again. 

Hope to be posting soon!

*I'm considering a couple character ideas to join if it'll help get things moving again; will PM you Mel as soon as I'm done w/this post. 

PS - Karson, an entire INVASION FLEET is a HUGE plot move; did you check that with Mel?  Might want to see where she wants the story to move before introducing an entire army onto the scene.*
