I like to pretend the prequels aren't actually a thing that happened.

Eh, he's been out of circulation for a long time. Still, "I'm getting too old for this sort of thing." at least hints at a sense of humor.

Basically: There is a right time for everything. There is also a wrong time for a lot of things. lol

Such as: fake PR claims from townies, fake hammers, lynching L-1 claimers, etc.

The point is that a lot of things are taken for granted, people have automatisms and we play like monkeys just like any mafia community.

[Mr. Flay]

Yeah, but we also have the TIME to question our assumptions. EM doesn't/didn't.

[Lady Lambdadelta]

Yeah, but we also have the TIME to question our assumptions. EM doesn't/didn't.

That's not true. There was a time in the Beta when people actually played the game, and there was only like 6 roles (I think it was Vanilla Townie, Mafia Goon, Doctor, Cop, Serial Killer, Mafia Roleblocker) and the entire site was just Imagine a Setup, Make and Name a room, and play the game with no timer attached. The last time I was on EM, the site had devolved into a game of odds. e.g: If we have this setup, optimal play is X (involving role claims and role actions and stuff) eventually culminating in a lynch being chosen by the 1 person who claimed seemingly at random. Days went by in a minute or less. Very silly.

But yeah, don't ignore that EM was at one point a good place to play Mafia and contained some very smart players and games.

[chamber]

I played when it was VERY new. Everyone then was horrible.

[zoraster]

In played with you back then. And red coyote and imaginality. It had its own huge frustrations like a suicide rate in the 20s or 39s that would disable the game.

[borno]

I've been meaning to join Mafiascum for a long time, and I guess EM dying was the nudge I needed to get me out of my procrastination fort.

Not to mention living on his own like a hermit. Ted Kaczynski kind of lost his humor, too.

I know right. If the Jedi were such a huge thing just 30 years ago, and there was like a Jedi council and shit, why would people call it a "sad, old religion" or whatever. "your sorcerer's ways don't scare me" says whats his face, right before he gets FUCKING CHOKED OUT

Also, why does the Emperor never ever use a lightsaber? Is it ever even hinted at that he's a Jedi or Sith at all in the original trilogy?

[UberNinja]

actually, did they even MENTION the word Sith in the original trilogy?

[zoraster]

The first use of the word "Sith" was in the novelization of Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope, as a title for Darth Vader, the "Dark Lord of the Sith". The Sith were not formally introduced or mentioned on-screen until the release of Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace, in 1999, though they had been named in some Expanded Universe works before that time.

Yeah, that's my point. In the original series, the Force was seen as superstition by people that couldn't use it.

In the prequels, it's scientifically provable. It's like if someone were to look at you and say, "DNA?! HAH! That shit's voodoo, there's no way you can tell whose blood that is." And then you choke that person with your mind.

I mean, to be fair, in the original trilogy, it's stated that Darth Vader killed off all of the Jedi. (other than Obi-Wan and Yoda, who were in hiding)

But don't even start me on THAT, because in the prequel it's made pretty clear that Anakin only spent like the better part of a fucking weekend killing every Jedi. I had always pictured Darth Vader turning to the Dark Side and systematically hunting them down, one by one, murdering them, putting them through mock trials, that sort of thing.

But nope, he just shows up at the Jedi school and kills them all at once.

[zoraster]

to be fair, they didn't mention midichlorians after the first episode.

[kuribo]

They didn't have to. It was already done.

[Mr. Flay]

But nope, he just shows up at the Jedi school and kills them all at once.

Well, a bunch of them had already been killed by other machinations (Order 66). Vader just did the mop up, which is somehow even more embarrassing.

[RichardGHP]

When did this become a

Star Wars

thread...

[chesskid3]

yo there were other jedi than yoda who escaped order 66. Vader hunted them down.

[kuribo]

yo there were other jedi than yoda who escaped order 66. Vader hunted them down.

and any of that would have made a better movie than the phantom menace

ITS ALIVE!
