No, because only I exist, and you're all just figments of my imagination as I hang in suspension on some long dead world.

Do you have ANY clue how often I have repeated that in the nearing-twenty pages of this thread??? :ph34r:

I AM THE GRIETEST! .. and now I will leave for no apperant raison! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Grietest??? I need to look that one up... There's no raison for you to leave? Then I'd hold out for the plumbs!- So is it time?
If you want 'adult content', then you can download it for a lot less time than it would take to install a patch... *sickos*...- The Kreia/Kae Question
This topic is exhausted by now... If I was a mod, I'd lock it. There is no CONCLUSIVE evidence, but it can pretty much be stated as a fact that Kreia trained/is Arren Kae... I think most people are frightened of having her as a mother-in-law, but what if the writer's whole point for throwing in Kreia was to get some empathy from gamers? Maybe they have a mother-in-law that's as bad/worse... :ph34r:- Exile's power
If there was only the light side, there would be no balance at all. " It it- Most obvious character duplication.

As much as I believe it is high time for this thread to be buried, I found an interesting part in an old YA Fantasy book I was re-reading... I think it fits the Force, if you modify it a bit (which I will do, with the modifications surrounded by <>'s): "<There> are <people>-all of them- <that are> capable of great cruelty, but they are not, even in the very worst of cases, the true embodiment of evil. No, that title belongs to others... (It goes on for about a paragraph talking about Demons and Devils, which I will equate to the Dark Side). I have wondered if <the Dark Side> could exist without the darkness that lies within the hearts of the reasoning races. <Is it> a source of evil, as are many wicked men..., or <is it> the result, a physical manifestation of the rot that permeates the hearts of far too many? The latter, I believe..." A cookie to anybody that can (correctly) tell me what the title of that book is!- Exile's power
Oh I thought that the balance meant that there must be equal Light Side power and DS. Like Anakin brought balance to the force when killing off alot of Jedi so there were only Obi-Wan and Yoda (one medium and one powerful) on LS and on DS there were Vader and the Emperor (also one medium and one powerful) <- Anakin has brought balance to the force as according to the prophecy (w00t) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Balance is an iffy topic. It could mean NO Jedi/Sith for all we know. Or, it could be peace, or it could be war, or it could be entropy, or it could be apathy, or it could be Gizka, or it could be reruns of Gilligan's Island for all we know! Even the Masters in the movies had no clue what balance was, only that it was good, and could be brought via the Chosen One...- Exile's power
Master D Murda, I believed that was more of a metophorical statement... Perhaps she was referring to the fact that the Exile gained strength through the events AFTER his rip... Maybe not, I don't care...- Should Revan Have An "Offical" Gender?
It's random... Either a shop in some obscure part of the game, or the VERY LAST CONTAINER in the game will have one (with my luck, anyway... Don't know how you'll end up). <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Don't encourage him! Q. Why wouldn't this poster use the Search function in the Spoilers forum to find the answer? A. Because they can just interupt any thread with their question and get a response. Alki, learn some netiquette and read the FAQ before posting. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> "netiquette" ??? I think this thread either deserves to die (and STAY THAT WAY), or a few healthy interruptions may actually become necessary... Why didn't the mods lock it when they had the chance?- The useless information thread!
I learned Aurum from looking for a name for a story idea I felt like writing... Bellus (or something around there) is Latin for beautiful, or somesuch... (I used that name for the leading female role...). :ph34r:- Should Revan Have An "Offical" Gender?

The gender should be a choice, and we can argue all day about what gender(s) they should choose to be official, but I've participated in many threads like this and I know that in the end it's just another sexism battle field (with MANY disturbing thoughts included)... :ph34r:- Should Revan Have An "Offical" Gender?

Ooh, pick the dropout! I know! Part XII: The Feeding of Malachor V Time frame: 3,955 - 3,953 B.B.Y. Period name: Knights of the Old Republic 2: The Sith Lords It is a period of uncertainty across the galaxy. After a long and vicious battle in the deepest area of the STAR FORGE, Dark Lord of the Sith DARTH REVAN succeeds in destroying his ex-apprentice DARTH MALAK. After recovering from the duel, Revan seeks out the secret dark outposts he established during the Mandalorian War. Journeying to the Outer Rim in the EBON HAWK, Revan is focused with a single purpose: locating the source of the dark power on MALACHOR V. Those awaiting Revan's arrival, including members of the Sith and the Jedi, are shocked when he fails to return from this pilgrimage. It is unknown whether Revan destroyed or resurrected the primal Sith forces on this forbidden planetoid. The turmoil of the previous decade has had a detrimental effect on the surviving members of the Jedi Order. Disillusionment and despair persists in the wake of the war both throughout the Old Republic, and within the Jedi Order itself. Furthering exacerbating the malaise is the corruption of Darth Revan and Darth Malak, and the untold harm their actions had brought to the Republic. These three reasons were cited by many the impetus for the disbanding of the Jedi. While the Jedi mull over their troubles, the battle-hardened Mandalorian hero CANDEROUS ORDO returns to the homeworld of DXUN, seeking to rebuild his clan, and find a new purpose in the galaxy. Through prowess and cunning, he rises to eventually become Mandalore. JEDI MASTER KREIA, Revan's old mentor, is still haunted by guilt, wondering whether it was her teaching that resulted in Revan's fall to the dark side, and begins to search for him. Sensing his last location, she travels to Malachor V, but is unable to shield her emotions, and is completely consumed by the dark side of the Force. She is lost to the Jedi, spending the next several years on Malachor V, learning its secrets, and eventually becoming The master of the Sith academy there. Guided by Kreia's influence, Sith assassins once again begin to emerge silently from Malachor V and strike at isolated Jedi across the Republic, capturing some Jedi to turn to the dark side, and slaying those that resist. Taken to the dark side world of Malachor V to be fed to the planet's dark energies, these Jedi husks create even more assassins and DARK JEDI, feeding the planet's hunger. And: Part XIII: Ascension of the Sith Time frame: 3,953 - 3,951 B.B.Y. Period name: Knights of the Old Republic 2: The Sith Lords It is the beginning of the Jedi's decline throughout the Galaxy. Individual Jedi begin to leave the Jedi Order, and the Jedi Watchmen of many systems, disenchanted with the endless, pointless struggles, step down and exile themselves in unknown quadrants of the galaxy, echoing the disillusionment of Jedi Master JOLEE BINDO. These are referred to by scribes of the time as the LOST JEDI. With their numbers already thinned by the war with DARTH MALAK, the Jedi Order is reduced to less than one hundred surviving Jedi Knights. As the numbers of Jedi continue to dwindle, the remaining practitioners of the light side of the Force believe the Lost Jedi to have forsaken the Order, but in fact, many of them are victims of Sith Assassins, or are being captured and imprisoned on the dark side world of MALACHOR V, waiting to be converted to the dark side of the Force. Under the watchful gaze of a corrupted Jedi KREIA, many of these Jedi die, but some are converted. And, if we look at a bit of game dialogue, we further find that Kreia hates the Jedi council (most likely for 'torturing' her) and the Sith Lords (for doing the same, pretty much). She spent most of her time w/ the Jedi, and naturally would want to punish them the most, with the Death of all living things. She trains her weapon against the Sith (the Exile). As Atris says, the attempt at killing the Force by killing all life is insanity. Oh, and an interesting tidbit: When Brianna asks what the Force feels like, and you talk about its loss, Kreia pipes in and says (amongst other things) that it is like having a student, and giving all of you to them, only to have them turn on you and forget you. If you read the above quotes, then it is evident that most of her things were wrapped around Revan, and her hatred of the Council for what they have done to her (through, supposedly, her apprentices). I fortell a deep (and pointless) look at the Greek pantheon in this thread's future... <_< . I again take my leave.- You've left me an opening
