User talk:MPK/Archive I







Hi
Uh, Hi You seemed not to have a user page are you new or did you delete it? and nice to meet you.

I used to use my userpage to make "prototype" pages, but some guy kept vandalizing it, so after the ordeal was over, I just left it alone, so I could spend more work on my articles. Nice to meet you, whoever you are. MPK 14:26, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

Oh thats bad, sorry I forgot my sig.

No sweat, I'll live. MPK 20:17, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

Hey, MPK! Just finally got around to reading your userpage and noticed the criticism. I thank you for it. Believe me, if all I was getting was praise, I'd wonder what I was doing wrong, because nothing's perfect. Your criticisms are very well put together and relavant. About the sacrificial death thing, I was planning on a fan-fic to explain it in better detail to the users here. But it'll have to wait until I'm done with the Schism articles. Once again thanks!


 * On the subject of the Sith Lord torturing his captured friends, and questioning him, rather than not just fighting him, well that was my idea actually? :) I won't go into detail why however. -- [[Image:JM76Sig.gif]] Talk to an Admin Mind Trick Jedi Library

Congrats
Congrats for your Jaden Korr article. Rarely have I enjoyed reading an article here so much. Keep it up. - TopAce 14:33, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

Homophobia
Hello MPK

I was wondering if you might remove the "This user thinks anime is the gayest thing since gayness was invented." userbox on your page, or at least change the wording? As a homosexual, I find use of the word "gay" in a derogatory way extremely offensive. It is akin to using the word "nigger" as a casual insult.

Thank you.

Regards,

Hello
Let me start off by saying thank you for what you said at the Star Wars Project discussion page, Im not certain what the big deal is either. I can take criticism, but when I havent even posted anything and it is said that I am being stupid and rude, I had to take issue with that.

Also I agree with alot of your criticism's, I am not much of a Dark Empire fan either. I think Luke falling to the dark side kind of made a mockery of Anakin sacraficing himself for his son, and for the NJO, you hit it dead on. If anything the NJO should be considerably weaker than the Jedi Order of the Clone Wars. We didn't see "The Chosen One" acting like "The One" (Neo) and flying around Coruscant or across the galaxy to save the world, but the members of the NJO seem to have alot of weird abilities.

Anyway just wanted to say hello, and thanks, keep up the good work on your articles Xen 19:24, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

Your work

 * I enjoy your work of the Dark Order and Darth Imperious, etc. I have one question though: do you take screenshots of Jedi Academy for your own characters? Because that's awesome


 * Yes, I do make use of Jedi Academy, as well as other games such as Empire at War for the images in my articles. The standards of quality that I have developed for my articles require me to have at least one image whenever possible, and for the image(s) to be as accurate as possible to the image of the event/person/other which I have in my head. This is partly because I've noticed that some other people here at the Fanon Wiki, in my opinion, don't care as much about image accuracy as they should. -MPK 21:25, 22 April 2007 (UTC)

Thanks
Just wanted to give you my thanks for cleaning up some of my articles

Respect
Hey MPK, just dropped by to say I agree 100% with ya about Dark Empire and the NJO. It probably doesn't matter to you but, I don't throw praise around lightly. So, respect!

Recent vandalism
Hello MPK, I've semiprotected your userpage for now, which means anonymous and very new users cannot edit it now, since it's been vandalized a bit. Feel free to contact me or another admin if you have any questions or requests. Happy editing! :) --Jack Phoenix (Contact) 12:52, 20 July 2007 (UTC)

Jaden
Hey, MPK. Just wanted to say keep up the good work for Jaden's article. If you keep writing like you've been he'll be a GA/FA in no time. Jesus Freak NK says NK's 'mazin' articles 14:25, 7 September 2007 (UTC)

PA Thing
Because if you're not specifically calling someone else out, it's not a PA. And, you're "not insulting his articles"? Would you like to explain what "considering the sort of Fanon which you contribute here, Tyler, I'm somewhat skeptical of your ability to consider all joke articles as crap" means, because that most certainly implies that you're saying his articles are crap. - Brandon Rhea 16:31, 11 October 2007 (UTC)
 * What it means, simply put, is that he has no room to talk. He makes articles which I find hard to take seriously, and then condemns all joke articles. -MPK 18:58, 11 October 2007 (UTC)
 * I also don't like the idea of droids who can use the Force and such, but I'm not going to tell him that he's not entitled to his opinion on a matter that has nothing to do with his articles. - Brandon Rhea 19:24, 11 October 2007 (UTC)
 * You're talking to me as if I'm disagreeing with him for no reason other than that I don't like his articles. -MPK 19:53, 11 October 2007 (UTC)
 * That's your perception of it then. I'm telling you to avoid singling out one person and insulting their articles. - Brandon Rhea 20:24, 11 October 2007 (UTC)
 * If I inteded it to be a joke, I would've added the template.&mdash; Darthtyler Talk 20:02, 11 October 2007 (UTC)
 * If you rather I made a full, legitimate review and put it on my userpage (along with the others), perhaps I'll do that. At least in that case it'll be actual [constructive] critisism. -MPK 23:12, 11 October 2007 (UTC)
 * I don't care what you do with your user page as long as you keep PAs out of it. I'd actually like to see what you had to say about any of my completed articles. - Brandon Rhea 23:27, 11 October 2007 (UTC)


 * As would I. I'm always interesting in critical opinions. Especially straightforward ones. Atarumaster88  [[Image:Jedi_Order.jpg|20px]] ( Talk page ) 17:16, 24 October 2007 (UTC)

Jaden Korr
Your Jaden Korr article is great. The pictures, IMO, are what make it even more outstanding. -- Don Victor, Sr.  ( contact ) 04:49, 20 November 2007 (UTC)

Thank you. Image accuracy is one of my main priorities when making these articles. -MPK 13:43, 20 November 2007 (UTC)


 * I know this is an odd request, but I was wondering if you could take a screenshot from Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy for me? Please let me know your answer, so that if it is a yes, I can give you the details. -- Don Victor, Sr.  [[Image:Coat of arms of Mexico.png|20px]] ( contact ) 01:41, 21 November 2007 (UTC)
 * That really depends on what exactly is needed to be in the screenshot, such as how many people would have to be in it, what they're doing, specifics, ect. By that logic, I require elaboration. -MPK 03:17, 21 November 2007 (UTC)


 * Very simple, just one person. I was had Jedi Academy (for the Xbox) before selling so don't worry, I know my way around it. Anyways, all I want is if you could please start a "battle" and choose to customize your own character (who technically is Korr). Could you please make him the dark skinned Human male, with the silver black/armor clothing (sort of has puffy shoulders I believe, looks sort of Sithly) and a red, single (Arbiter hilt) lightsaber. As for the background, I don't really care, as long as it isn't anything incriminating (like the Death Star). The shot would have to be a front view, where we can clearly see the Jedi's face, and please make the lightsaber blade visible too, if possible. Please and thank you, MPK. -- Don Victor, Sr.  [[Image:Coat of arms of Mexico.png|20px]] ( contact ) 03:25, 21 November 2007 (UTC)

Here ya go. I got three, you pick what you want. I hope the brightness isn't a problem, since there's nothing I can do about it. Best I can do. -MPK 14:03, 21 November 2007 (UTC)

Thanks a lot, very nice. The lighting is fine. -- Don Victor, Sr.  ( contact ) 22:16, 21 November 2007 (UTC)

Glad to be of assistance. -MPK 00:07, 22 November 2007 (UTC)

Re:My Work
Working on this 100,000 year story for three years can do that to someone, and I take being called insane as a very high compliment in this regard, so thanks. I take it then that you don't think my work is an assault on creativity or about "big, great heroes who are almost always Jedi who are uber-powerful, defeat the big bad guy, and save the day" then? - President Brandon Rhea  (Pressroom)   (Accomplishments)  18:21, 30 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Well that's good then. - President Brandon Rhea [[Image:Presidentialseal.gif|27px]] (Pressroom)   (Accomplishments)  19:34, 30 November 2007 (UTC)

If I may ask, was there anything you saw that you did think was Mary Sue-ish or anything? Your rants on your user page were pretty funny, so I figured I'd ask. - President Brandon Rhea  (Pressroom)   (Accomplishments)  19:50, 30 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Indeed, it would. By the way, great job on your Jaden Korr article. You should nominate it for Good Article in next week's round. - President Brandon Rhea [[Image:Presidentialseal.gif|27px]] (Pressroom)   (Accomplishments)  03:12, 1 December 2007 (UTC)

New Review
Another entertaining review, as always. - President Brandon Rhea  (Pressroom)   (Accomplishments)  16:50, 8 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Hey MPK. Just noticed your amusing review on the Darth Tyler article. As Darthtyler gave me permission to edit, I've modified the first section to address your complaints at the beginning of the review. You also say that Tyler has no defeats in the review; I cite this. What say you to it now? Unit 8311 17:32, 8 December 2007 (UTC)
 * I say that your smiley face terrifies and disturbs me. -MPK 18:15, 8 December 2007 (UTC)
 * So am I. I'm going to stop editing the article now. I apologise if I was annoying you. Darthtyler can have a look at the review when he comes. Again, i apologise. Unit 8311 20:04, 8 December 2007 (UTC)

Ussej Padric Bac
When you have the time, it'd be interesting to know what you think of Ussej Padric Bac so far. He was my first character and the one with the most detail so far, even though most of his story isn't even told in the article yet. - President Brandon Rhea  (Pressroom)   (Accomplishments)  18:32, 8 December 2007 (UTC)

Nice review
As Brandon mentioned, nice review. Just finished reading it. -- Victor, Sr. HoloNet 209 21:14, 8 December 2007 (UTC)

Hey MPK, I read through your review once more and realized something about Darth Tyler you didn't. How in the hell would a droid even be able to wield a lightsaber? Droids, no matter how much potential, have mobility limitations. Bend their arm back too much and it snaps for good, know what I mean? Therefore if Tyler was really a Sith Lord, all you would have to do is fake him out once, then strike since there is no way he can move like a sentient being can. -- Victor, Sr. HoloNet 209 05:53, 11 December 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for pointing that out, Vic. I'll be sure to update the review posthaste. -MPK 14:34, 11 December 2007 (UTC)

High Priests
Hey MPK, I was wondering if you would like to be nominated to be a High Priest, the users in charge of maintaining Good Articles. You're a great (albeit unorthodox :P) reviewer, and I think you'd be an asset to that team. You'd also be able to help fight against articles that are an "assault on creativity" as you put it. Let me know what you think. - President Brandon Rhea  (Pressroom)   (Accomplishments)  22:05, 11 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Also, congratulations! Jaden Korr (Dark Order War) is now a Featured Article! - President Brandon Rhea [[Image:Presidentialseal.gif|27px]] (Pressroom)   (Accomplishments)  00:23, 12 December 2007 (UTC)

I'm flattered that I'm being considered for this position, and would be more than honored to be nominated. -MPK 01:15, 12 December 2007 (UTC)

Factual update on your reviews

 * I was reading your reviews and reveling in the utter bluntness and accuracy with which your darts of prose hit their targets- I appreciate it, in fact. I'm known on Wookieepedia for my ability to shred anything on the Featured Article page until it passes the bar. Anyway, to the important part, if you care about canon, the game Starfighter did feature a secret Trade Federation base on Eos, so Tyler isn't just making that up. Atarumaster88  [[Image:Jedi_Order.jpg|20px]] ( Talk page ) 06:51, 12 December 2007 (UTC)

Congrats
Just wanted to stop by and give a quick congratulations to one of our new High Priests! - President Brandon Rhea  (Pressroom)   (Accomplishments)  05:22, 23 December 2007 (UTC)

Re: Clarification
Ah, I see. It's just the general idea of the article. I agree, it's something that the Rebels in "real" Star Wars couldn't do. But then again, that's why this site is called Star Wars Fanon.

Armor that can survive a bombardment isn't too out of the ordinary. After all, the powered exoskeleton is made of metallic ore, and the comics often show ruins from bombardments or explosions, which is evidence that strong substances can withstand high degrees of damage. Many times, when they show bodies, their clothes are even still intact. I think you misunderstood me, however. I simply tired to state the durability of the armor, not trying to say the soldiers would survive the bombardment itself. Incineration/Disintegration sniping rifles are already in Star Wars Canon, and are in several Star Wars games. Squads able to defeat small battalions isn't too different from what is seen in Star Wars as well. An average battalion is approx 500 men, with small battalions around half that much. We see characters, especially in games defeat enemies despite being vastly outnumbered, likely due to the "Stormtrooper effect". Kir Kanos fended off Imperial army, as he, literally alone, turned the tide in a battle with the Empire in Crimson Empire. The Empire did make quality armor that withstood blasterfire, most notably the Dark Trooper exoskeleton. Stormtrooper armor is made of Plastoid, which is used to make chairs in the SW universe, so it simply cannot compare with powered exoskeleton armor which arguments the soldiers' strength and reaction time. And that stuff wasn't new, as it was around since the Jedi Civil War era.

If you still think it's far-fetched, that's fine as opinions very from person to person, but I just wanted to show how I "justified" my article. Your reasons are appreciated, though. I wasn't sure how you disapproved of my article, so thanks for putting forth the effort to get back to me.-- You Speak, I've Spoken 02:06, 14 January 2008 (UTC)

pleased to meet you
Dear MPK,

Hey there -- I'm Relentless -- I joined SWFW but took AWOL for the better part of the year, and I saw you on RC and checked your userpage, which was a dramatically hilarious read, if not acrimonious to certain authors. :P Since I've taken a temporary return here I just wanted to say "hiya" and also ask a question -- when I saw your username, I immediately thought of the H&K MP5K (when I wrote Dear MPK, it was nearly Dear MP5K before I backspaced it ^^) -- was that the inspiration for your name?

Regards,

RelentlessRecusant 'o the Halopedia Team http://images.wikia.com/rainbowsix/images/7/73/GDI2.jpg TALK • MESSAGE 16:50, 17 January 2008 (UTC)

Actually, no it wasn't. MPK is an acronym for a nickname which I had used previously at a gaming forum. Nice to see you back, by the way. Your fanon looked promising and I thought it would be a shame for it to never be finished. -MPK 16:54, 17 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Lol, I just reread my fanon and at the time I wrote it I thought it was the epitome of my meager writing skills and last night realized it was rueful crap. ^^ At not a few times the past months I've been considering finishing it when I realize abruptly I forgot the complex and convoluted military + political plot that was s'pposed to be there lol.

 * It's tough for someone to go back and fix the stuff he/she went wrong with at the beginning. I'm in the process of doing that myself. -MPK 13:57, 18 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Mhm, seeing your high par on grading fanon (I have a similar one administrating/or moderating a few Wikia and non-Wikia fanon sites ^^), I follow the example of many preceding me on this talk page and request an in-depth critique on SARDAD, my newest article after returning here. Would this be possible? XD Regards, RelentlessRecusant  'o the Halopedia Team http://images.wikia.com/rainbowsix/images/7/73/GDI2.jpg TALK • MESSAGE 07:35, 20 January 2008 (UTC)


 * I don't see why not. I'll analize your article when I get a chance. -MPK 15:30, 20 January 2008 (UTC)

Feedback
Unlike some, I happen to like the fact that you're harsh when it comes to reviewing some articles. That's why I've come to you. I'd like to know what your thoughts on Patrick Keylan Bac are so far, even though I'm not that far into it. Obviously the setting will be and is a point of contention for some people, which is another reason why I'm asking for your opinion here. All I ask is that if you want to judge a book by its cover that you at least open the cover and read it for what it's worth. Thanks, I appreciate it. - President Brandon Rhea   (Pressroom)   (Accomplishments)  01:53, 24 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Thanks for getting those spelling errors. - President Brandon Rhea  [[Image:Presidentialseal.gif|27px]]  (Pressroom)  (Accomplishments)  19:13, 24 February 2008 (UTC)

I'm glad you're liking it so far, for the most part. I'm also really glad that you were able to look past the Earth part and look at the story. Most people can't do that and just assume that the story is crap because of the setting, so that's a nice relief. And I definitely agree with you about the Earth stories. I've seen some on here that are just God awful, and even more in the TF.N Fan Films boards that are even worse. They generally amount to a few cliche steps: There's not much more to do on Earth unless you really let your imagination run wild while giving it enough restraint to know when it's being taken too far. This story actually started out as a fan film trilogy that I wanted to make, but it was terrible. If I posted the original two scripts of the first draft of this trilogy, I think you'd die of laughter. Seriously. I also agree with the writing my articles like fan fic bit, but I do that on purpose. Since there is no fan fic to go along with this article, I try to make it a bit more readable and enjoyable for readers. I also figure by the predictable early life you mean stuff about his father dying and all that. Granted, that is cliche, but it's something I needed to move the story along. I threw September 11th in there to at least give it some sort of originality.
 * 1) Jedi arrive on Earth for no reason other than it's Earth (out of universe, it's because people didn't want to avoid shooting cars and houses).
 * 2) Jedi find something really, really bad.
 * 3) Jedi find Sith are responsible for this really, really bad thing.
 * 4) Jedi find a Sith on Earth, who is also there for no reason other than because it's Earth
 * 5) Jedi kills Sith
 * 6) The end...?

I'm also glad to see you intrigued now that you're at "Murder". As for the lightning and telekenisis, that's also a pet peeve of mine. There's no way people can just suddenly do that, but moving at a greatly increased speed like that isn't something huge, which you also said. That scene on the bridge is based upon a scene in the first episode of Smallville where Lex Luthor swerves to avoid something on the road and ends up hitting Clark Kent while driving off of the bridge. Granted, Clark got hit by the car and fell into the river, but clearly being Force sensitive is not the same as being Superman, hence having him move out of the way. And, yeah, the new car is corny, but again that one is based on Smallville as well. Lex Luthor gave Clark a new truck for saving him, but where Clark's father made him give it back Patrick kept it, at least for now.

Again, I'm glad to see you think it's going well so far. The relationship with Elizabeth did, naturally, start of cliche, but as you said there's no point in coming up with some grandiose beginning of the relationship when stock can work just as well in the beginning. Once more, thanks, and I'll let you know when I've made some more major updates to the article. - President Brandon Rhea  <font color="#1A2BBB"> (Pressroom)  <font color="#1A2BBB"> (Accomplishments)  19:43, 24 February 2008 (UTC)

Return of CUSWFN
CUSWFN is returning! I've joined with Darth tader to bring you back CUSWFN, the Completely Unofficial Star Wars Newsletter! I hope that you enjoy the SOON TO BE RELEASED first edition. As the previous category was spelt wrong, the category has been changed to 'Recipients of CUSWFN', and I've changed this on your talk page, hope you don't mind. . The first edition will be coming soon! Darth tom Chit 'n' Chat 18:37, 10 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Thanks for letting me know. I was beginning to suspect that the Newsletter was gone or something. -MPK 01:42, 11 March 2008 (UTC)

Fanon Stories
Hey MPK, I'm Darth tom, you most likely won't have heard of me that much. Well, I have revived CUSWFN, and am looking, in the first edition, to have a fanon story competition! However, if I assign judges, CUSWFN will be counted as a Clan, which is against the policies, because I would be assigning positions. Brandon gave me the idea of asking all of the High Priests, as they already have legitimate positions. I haven't got any details yet, as I'm still just writing around, but would you be interested in judging? Thanks. Darth tom Chit 'n' Chat 20:40, 17 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Doesn't sound like much more work than I usually do as a High Priest, so I don't see why not. -MPK 01:00, 18 March 2008 (UTC)

Suspension
Hey MPK, a few of us are working on significantly changing Good Article and Featured Article requirements to help in the constant strive to gain a higher standard of quality on Star Wars Fanon. Obviously the community at large will approve or deny these new requirements when we've finished writing them, but until it's sorted out I'd like to suspend Good Article nominations and voting until the new requirements are taken care of, assuming that the majority of the High Priests agree to doing that. I obviously agree since it's my idea, but please let me know if you agree either here or on my talk page. Thanks. - <font color="#1A2BBB">President Brandon Rhea  <font color="#1A2BBB"> (Pressroom)  <font color="#1A2BBB"> (Accomplishments)  23:49, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

Categories
Please be sure to properly categorize categories too. For example, military bases was categorized under "buildings" and "locations" since that's what they are. Also, use proper grammar in categories. "Military Bases" is incorrect because "bases" is not a proper noun. Thanks and please be sure to follow these guidelines in the future. 207.233.58.100 20:34, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

Fanon story details
OK, the judges are you, Xep and maybe Gnosis, he hasn't replied, and here's the details about the competition. OK, there will be three weeks to give in entries, I would have made it two, but I have personal matters, aka a holiday, that get in the way. So, all entries will have to be here by then. You can then have up to a week to decide on the best, the second best, and the third best, and tell me, preferably on that page so people don't see before they have to. Thanks once again for agreeing to do this! Darth tom Chit 'n' Chat 11:43, 22 March 2008 (UTC)

CUSWFN Returns!

 * Hey MPK, I hope you don't mind, but you're the Meet a User for CUSWFN Edition VII. I really hope you don't mind. If you do mind, just say, and I'll get rid of it. If you don't mind, and would like to be this editions meet a user, please can you tell me a bit about yourself, such as when you joined, when you became an HP, what your first GA was, what your first FA was, how many GA's and how many FA's you have and then anything else you'd like me to include. Of course, if you don't want to be meet a user, please just say. Thanks. Darth tom  Chit 'n' Chat 18:21, 24 March 2008 (UTC)
 * That'll be fine. I joined around October 2006, and my first article was Battle of Korriban (Disciples of Ragnos Crisis). It started as a standalone idea, but quickly expanded into a far larger and more complex project from there when I started wondering what would happen afterward. My primary contribution is the Dark Order Continuity, which basically is meant to overwrite all the bad post-ROTJ EU. During my time here, I've written several reviews for articles, which are on my User page, and have been asked for analysis of several people's creations as well. I became a High Priest around December 2007, approximately the same time as when I got my first GA/FA (Jaden Korr (Dark Order War)). I hope to produce several more FAs and eventually finish the Dark Order War. Currently I've put editing on hold while I deduce the order in which planned events are to take place.

I hope that's enough information. -MPK 18:53, 24 March 2008 (UTC)


 * Thanks, that'll be excellent. I'd just also like to inform you that the release date of the next CUSWFN has been brought forwards to Thursday, due to my going on holiday. Sorry for any problems this may cause. Darth tom  Chit 'n' Chat 19:34, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

Hey, MPK, do you fancy writing an article for CUSWFN about the ? It's just an offer, I don't mind whatever you say, but your brilliantly scathing and excellent reviews would be good here! Like I said, it's completely your choice, I don't mind what you say, but please give me your verdict! By the way, you said about CUSWFN having some editorials involved. What's an ediorial? Sorry, I've never encountered that before! Darth tom Chit 'n' Chat 13:46, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
 * I might write some things for the Newsletter later if I'm asked, but the TV Series you refer to is not something I know much about[. There's not many details anyway, so I don't think an article about it would be a good idea as of now.]

From wikipedia: "An editorial[, leader (UK), or leading article (UK)] is an article in a newspaper or magazine that expresses the opinion of the editor, editorial board, or publisher." The way I see it, editorials are pretty much the only thing that the newsletter is missing and I think would be a very good addition. I hope that answers your question. -MPK 17:53, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, that helps a lot, thanks. Would you be interested in using your reviewing expertise to do the FA/GA Updates page in future CUSWFN's? I've already done these ones, but I think that you're review expertise could be put to great use by doing the FA/GA updates, but it's your choice. Would you be interested? Darth tom Chit 'n' Chat 18:13, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
 * I'm afraid not. I don't think I'd be quite the sort of person for that particular section. -MPK 18:29, 25 March 2008 (UTC)


 * Well, OK, that's fine. I added some editorials. Darth tom  Chit 'n' Chat 18:31, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

Article
Hey MPK, I saw you didn't want to do stuff for the newsletter, but I've got a better proposal for you. On my website, which is just now opening back up after nearly a year, I'm having people write feature/opinion articles. I'm sure you know what I mean by that, as in not just a straight up news article but something with analysis and personal opinion and all that. I was wondering if you'd like to write an article about your opinions of certain elements of the Expanded Star Wars Universe. You and I share the same distaste of Dark Empire, New Jedi Order and beyond, so I thought it might be fun to have something like that. If this snags your interest, let me know. - <font color="#1A2BBB">President Brandon Rhea  <font color="#1A2BBB">(Pressroom) <font color="#1A2BBB">(Record) 18:52, 25 March 2008 (UTC) Sounds good. Let me know when you make a decision. - <font color="#1A2BBB">President Brandon Rhea  <font color="#1A2BBB">(Pressroom) <font color="#1A2BBB">(Record) 20:12, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Sounds intriguing. I'll give it some thought. -MPK 20:01, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

Discussion with Anti-Formal

 * Aha! Even if their rules were for good reasons they don't have good effects (i.e. Anakin Skywalker?) and under the Rule of Two they didn't just go around killing people if I recall correctly Anti-Formal  Come slang wit' me Work I've Put In 02:52, 27 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Anakin had bad effects because of his own breaking of the rules. The Rule of Two didn't keep any more people alive, it just postponed the genocide for a while as seen in the six movies. -MPK 14:24, 27 March 2008 (UTC)
 * While that may be true, how is that the Sith are the only ones that are bringing Order to the galaxy and the Jedi are always apart of the Rebellion against the governments that the Sith set up?If the Siths are so bad why aren't they the ones creating rebellions? Anti-Formal  Come slang wit' me Work I've Put In 02:42, 2 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Obviously because all Rebellions are bad and all dominant governments are automatically good. -MPK 13:18, 2 April 2008 (UTC)
 * 1) Meaning what exactly? Anti-Formal  Come slang wit' me Work I've Put In 03:24, 3 April 2008 (UTC)
 * 2) Meaning that that's the logic which your statement used. -MPK 14:26, 3 April 2008 (UTC)
 * I'm not saying that the Sith are entirely good what I'm saying is that there is a stereotype of Sith. Everyone thinks the Sith are sadistic, power hungry,cold hearted, murderous, and merciless figures. Their not all like that as for some Sith have become Sith out of necessity,does the name Darth Caedus ring a bell, and not out of greed. The "proverbial bad guy" stereotype just automatically comes with the title of Sith. So you're saying that the Jedi are entirely good? Anti-Formal  Come slang wit' me Work I've Put In 02:04, 5 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Pretty much, except for the ones who screw up and turn dark. -MPK 02:19, 5 April 2008 (UTC)

You hopefully won't be hearing from Desariee anytime soon. She had been blocked for the past two weeks and today made a second account.

Also, I hope you don't mind, but I put up a forced table of contents code on your talk page in order to keep a table of contents. For whatever reason, the coding in tabs such as the ones on the CUSWFN prevent a table of contents from working.

 * 2) Cruentus translates as 'violent' or 'bloody' in Latin.

Opinion
Hey, umm... What do you think Star Wars technology would be in 22,000 ABY. Darth Craetor 17:15, 31 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Twenty-two thousand ABY? To be honest, I don't think technology would be all that different from the rest of time. Look at Knights of the Old Republic (4,000 BBY), and you'll see that technology is pretty much the same as in the movies. Sure, the ships are smaller and some technologies may be less efficient, but in the end it's basically the same technology with different characters and governments. Even in the days of the they had hyperdrive, starships, and even laser laser weaponry, and that takes place circa 35,000 BBY to 25,200 BBY. Based on that, I don't see why technology would change a whole lot. There would certainly be different types of starships, different architecture, and different culture, but at the core, the galaxy's technology would be pretty similar. -MPK 17:32, 31 May 2008 (UTC)
 * So how do you think lightsabers would look like? Darth Craetor 02:39, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
