What bodies in what cave?  What show were those clips from?  I was like, "Whoah, they found bodies in a cave?!?!?"  Maybe it's a flashforward to something we'll see later.  Maybe that happens when the doctor-guy and the bra-girl from the alternate-timeline go to the island with the wheelchair-dude.

Yeah, I thought that was a little unneccessary.

Here's my complaint:

This show has a pattern of peeling back a layer just to show you that what you want to know is one step further down.

i.e:
1. The other's! They must know what is going on!
2. No, they just live in old DHARMA buildings, they are the ones who knew what was going on!
3. Actually, DHARMA didn't know anything, it was the others all along!
4. Well, not the others, exactly... but Ben Linus, Richard Alpert, and Charles Widmore sure have it figured out!
5. Wait, no... Richard only know what time traveling Locke tells him. He actually really doesn't know anything.
            5.a. And Ben and Widmore are equally clueless.
6. Doesn't somebody know something?
7. Oh, Jacob... Yeah, he's the big boss. He'll know what's going on.
8. Or maybe that MIB.
9. No wait! It's the woman who raised Jacob. Jacob himself is totally clueless!
10.  The woman?  No, she was just selected to do this job sometime ago by someone else.

So your wife fights off the zombies while you and the dog...

...oh, I've said too much.

I'm only going it alone if I'm stuck with the angry lesbians (fate pick).

If it's my pick, the three of us (wife, dog, myself) start our new life in the empty world.

 Yes!  This!  WHAT IS THIS?!?!?!

Han on NNRRPPB:

No we didn't because funnily enough I'm the admin... But WELL DONE! You got it! Nice one Panaka that slightly wierd sexual post to Erica was written perfectly! Although just a little writer's tip here... Don't say your name so much. Like say Panaka was walking along when HE saw Erica. HE then walked over and said hi. "Hi" HE said.

So, it seems that breaking the 1st/3rd/3rd person rule or getting your tenses screwed up it the ultimate sin.  But "wierd" sexual posts are, "WELL DONE!"  So... yeah...

Hey, I got the same PM!

Maybe Leia's line would be seen differently if Han's reaction to it had been different too. As it is, he sounds very calm and collected, as is her delivery of her line. It's just small talk in a very dangerous situation. Haha.

Han's reaction to her line is a little cold.  I was looking at him, thinking: Aren't you going to say anything, Dude?

And he was just kind-of:

The whole time.

Men!...

What I really mean to say is: Are people even arguing about the same scene?  It seems like some people don't like Leia's line when she & Lando are escaping from Bespin at the end of the film, and other people are discussing the scene where the Falcon flies straight at the Executor right before they dump garbage and head out for hyperspace.

Ah, I see.  I thought adywan was putting an ESB-themed version of sky's original moving 'adywan' intro. on the actual edit, and perhaps using a mainly-'static' version of vaderios's mock-up on the 'extras' disc.  Sorry for any confusion thorr.

No problem.  :-)  It's cool that a few people already thought of the same idea.  I am sure Adywan will do what he thinks is best (which may end up being nothing in this case).  I think it is a cool idea because it is an attention grabber right away before the movie starts to let the audience know that it is something special.  It is probably the only place to have a little not-so-serious fun with the editing so it doesn't ruin the real work for the rest of the movie.   It is also the right movie to do it with since it has the Cloud City theme.  Maybe in RotJ he can have dualing red and green light sabers coming out of the moving lights, lol.

 Oooohhh.... what if the search lights are just search lights- lazily scanning the sky until the light on our right ignites green and violently swings at the logo, and at nearly the same second, the light on our left ignites red and swings inward, and blocking the green light (while somehow being on top of it?)  And then Palpatine's cackle fills the surrounds.

(Yes, I know I'm behind the times.)

There is someone named mime who hasn't posted yet.  Dunno who that is.

They might be as fun to read as a wookiee.

Here's my example Mime RP:

I can't wait until DirtyWookie has to take a dump.

So, what did everyone think of last night's episode?

I'm sort of in denial.  I can't form any sentences to express my disappointment...  my jaw just sort of hangs at an odd angle.

*SPOILERS*

I didn't think we'd see the frozen donkey wheel again, but I did expect to learn more about the Egyptian/Incan/whatever influences on the island.  Also, the glowing yellow light... can't say that made any sense...

DirtyWookie I thought was 'mildly funny'... until I saw the Avatar.  Now I can't stop giggling.

Poor, poor Han Solo...

More archiving...

"Panaka didn't understand," said Panaka. What were all of these fools did' at Panaka's debriefing? Why did Ric looked so confused...? Panaka thoughted that the Traitor Olie hated Panaka. But Panaka also thoughted that the past years hadn't been so kind to Traitor Olie, not as kinded as they have had been to Panaka, more specifically to Panaka's abs, which were clearly to have been seen since they done stripped Panaka to the waist when the shackled Panaka to the chair. And now this Seductive Lady has entered the room, and yet the Traitor Olie hadn't had looked at her the whole time since! He, it had looked, only had had eyes for Panaka. This maded Panaka very uncomfortable. But he didn't wanted to say anything, because Solo still had a carefully trained eye on him. First Solo says talk in the 3rd person, so Panaka talks in the third person. Now he says Panaka doesn't talk in the third person. What does this fool thinked he knew about Panaka?!?!? At least Panaka has this past tensed thing licked by then.

 

The funniest thing here to me is that all he has collected are retards.  There's not a straight man on his site!  If there were more people just trying to play, I think I'd feel worse for messin' with it. 

oops

Actually, I don't think you could get yourself across the ocean by yourself.  Even with two companions, I doubt you could manage a boat large enough to safely transport you across the ocean.  Learning to fly a plane with a cross-ocean capability is probably you're best bet... but that's still no small feat!

I guess you could just swim from New York to England... All of those illegal alien, job stealing Brits seem to do it just fine coming the other way... so I guess you'll have no trouble.  ;)

Oh, and there's another term for 'forced suicide'... but I can't remember it right now...  I'm dead tired because my job has been murder this week.

Oh and RE: #1.  Really?  There aren't any people on the face of the planet you would want to save?  Even for your own entertainment?  You can probably have seperate rooms...

Oh yeah, NNRRPPB needs to be added as a new acronym.  Actually, we might need a whole glossary for NNRRPPB content.  I feel my creativity really coming alive over there.

Coup d'etat!

PAST TENSE, PLEASE!

RP Academy thread where Solo will tell us what we are doing wrong.

Solo:

 

Alright Role Call!

Panaka:

 

Panaka is here, but not really. Panaka doesn't have the time to actually be at the Academy in person, so Panaka is tele-holo-comming in. Still, it's just an honor being nominated. But Panaka must return to his hunt for the Traitor Olie!

Solo:

Panaka... Stop it! I forbid you to post ANYWHERE else untill the other two have posted here... Understand?

 

Ric:

Capt. Ric Olie, pilot of the Royal Naboo Transport and Naboo Starfighter 1, reporting for duty SIR!!!

Panaka:

Kiss up.

Panaka:

Mr. Solo, sir. Olie and I have been talking... it doesn't seem like you get this RP'ing thing... you never seem to be in character. Or to have been in character, if you preferred to have had read it in the past tense.

Panaka is dying (er... ) has died to knew what was coming then!

TV's Frink said:

Han Solo has a better sense of humor than this!

 He doesn't seem to be acting in character much, wouldn't you say?

My desecrated character page (before future desecration.  Basically, it's the 1997 Special Edition of my character page)

Panaka:

Name: Moff Panaka
Race: Naboobian
Age: 29
Faction: Imperial Remnant
Occupation: Hunting Down that Traitorous Nogoodnik Olie
Weapons: Pointy Space Hat, Common Space Sense, Killerer Looks than Olie
Weapon Proficiencys: Awesome Level 5
Equipment: Pistol, grappling hook and abs set to 'stun'
Ship(s): Star Destroyer "The Handsome Throne"
History: I was the head of the Royal Naboo Security Forces before, during, and after the Invasion of Naboo alongside my former friend and ally: Ric Olie. When the Empire was just getting started, Olie and I competed in the "Naboo Handsome Devil Revue". I won the Top Prize which was to become the Moff for the Chommell Sector. Olie was furious and our friendship and trust was broken as he swore to bring me down and destroy everything I stood for (and become an underwear model). I ignored him until he, through extension, killed Emperor Palpatine by finding and training Anakin Skywalker. Since that day, I have dedicated all Imperial Resources under my control to find the Traitor and bring him to justice.

RP Example:
I had him! The Naboobian Swamp Slug was twisting in his stomach, making it even harder for Olie's poor brain to function. But he would recall that there would be only one way to cure the pain... and that would lead him to my trap here on Alpha Ceti 5. I had just landed in my shuttle, when I heard the whine of Olie's ship landing just over the hill. The time to exact my revenge and bring him to justice was finally at hand! At my signal, Commander Tyke-o released the MegaTigers we had collected from Frokturia. Yes, this day would see the end of Ric Olie. All there was to do now was wait. Wait, and eat. "Tyke-o!" I called. "Sir?" he replied. "Bring me some cakes." "Sir!" he replied and ran off to bring me my second favourite snack. The first being chilled REVENGE!"

Solo:

As I said on the Naboo thread, Ric and Panaka move the thread to the RP academy so you can RP whilst I randomly throw in RP tips

Panaka:

Hey, Panaka's pretty sure there were some other post's here in Panaka's character thread. Did Han Solo smuggle them somewhere? Panaka wonders...

Solo:

Dude! Go to the Lesson 1 thread!

Panaka:

Panaka is not a 'dude', he is a Moff. And you, Former Captain Solo of the alleged "New Republic" will speak to Panaka with respect!

Panaka:

Panaka should have said: Panaka did not go to 8 years of 'Moff School' to be called 'Dude.' (Panaka hates when Panaka says something in the heat of the moment and then realizes several seconds later what Panaka should have said!)

Solo:

Alright Panaka... DUDE! Now you're starting to take the piss... Shape up or ship out... YOUR CALL!

Also,

eFreedom, eFreeeeeedom, eFreeeeeeeddoooooooom!!1! are all missing from the glossary as well.

I think I might have to archive my posts here because it looks like they might just get deleted there.

Panaka:

"Ahhhhh, it's good to be back. " says Moff Panaka as he takes a step off of his shuttle and breathes in the fresh Naboobian air. "It does Panaka's Naboobian heart good to be at Panaka's home again." But, of course, Moff Panaka's return to Naboo isn't all about reminiscing and reliving the good times. "The Good Times..." muses Panaka... "Before the Rebellion... before Ric Olie." Panaka means, of course, not the good times before he knew the Traitor Olie, but the good times before they became mortal enemies and ended up on differing sides of a galaxy wide war and also a galaxy wide beauty contest.

In fact, it is this reason Panaka has returned to Naboo. Panaka hasn't returned to his homeland as much as to Ric Olie's homeland. To search for clues that might put Panaka back on Olie's trail. Ric Olie, of course, discovered and tutored Anakin Skywalker and indirectly caused the death of beloved Emperor Palpatine, the former Naboobian Senator. For this, Panaka has returned to Naboo to make The Traitor Olie pay! But Panaka must be careful! In the 25-or-so years since Panaka last set foot on Naboo, much has changed. Though the Imperial Remnant still controls Naboo, Panaka's rank of Moff may not endear him to the locals or even the people he once knew.

*THUNK* Panaka slides his head (but not his shoulders, in the Corellian fashion) briskly to the right as a rock impacts on the surface of his shuttle.

TO BE CONTINUED

Solo:

OOC: (out of chat) You RP in the past tense Panaka... Like you're writing a book... Tell ya what, move this to the RP Academy in the help section... You can continue RP-ing on there and I'll throw in RP-ing tips for you all as it happens

Panaka:

Alas, is it the famed smuggler turned rebel turned statesman, Han Solo, who has cast this rock at Panaka's ship? "Oh no you didn't!" says Panaka as he hops over the guardrail next to his shuttle and starts pushing up his moff sleeves. "You may not be Olie, but Panaka's gonna put you in a world of hurt! Panaka needs the practice anyways!" says Panaka in his best Mr. T/Karl Malone impression. But Panaka knows not to rough him up too much. Even though former Naboobian Senator Palpatine didn't consider Han Solo a "prize" and considered his life forfeit, his presence here on Naboo surely is suspect. True, he could just be visiting his mother-in-law, but last Panaka knew, she was a dead as Olie's hairpiece. This could be the lead he was looking for! Solo ran, and turned to fire back at Panaka, just like he did on the Death Star I. His shot went wild and Panaka was on him in two more steps. Panaka lifted Han Solo by the scruff of his smuggler vest. Suddenly, Panaka's shirt was ripped and his bulging biceps could be seen... bulging as he lifted the Corellian in the air. "Talk!" says Panaka.

*THUNK* Another rock, possibly thrown by another Olie confederate... but this time Panaka's lightning reflexes were subdued by his intense focus on Han Solo. Unable to do the Corellian-bob, the rock strikes Panaka directly on the side of Panaka's head. Panaka drops Solo to the ground to turn to face his attacker. (Now his gleaming six pack is also visible. Man, no wonder Ric Olie lost the Handsome Naboo Devil contest all of those years ago! And, no doubt, Panaka's still got it!)

TO BE CONTINUED

Solo:

Panaka didn't you hear me?! Take it to the RP academy!! And post your name on the thread named Lesson 1! And then follow it to make sure you don't miss any of the pointers!

 it seems that Mr. Solo is starting to enjoy the Pandemonium we have wrought.

Or maybe not.  I got my first warning.  How is kissing up to Solo coming, Frink?

Did he, or did he not remove a bunch of posts from my character page.  What happened to all of my "BIG NO" stuff...  I worked really hard on that.

I'm having trouble with the site.  Perhaps someone has taken their toys and gone home?

EDIT: It's all good now.  And, in fact, it seems that Mr. Solo is starting to enjoy the Pandemonium we have wrought.

See you on Naboo, Olie!

I say we stage a coup and put it to a democratic vote.

005:

Are we the only people they approached, or the only ones who know how to have fun with it?

What's all of this 'we' business, Mr. (and Mrs.) have yet to join the RP site?

I think he and Han Solo have a... thing.
