Just kidding man.

[Sovereign]

Pulling out a tank to blast Franky for his joke? Damn.

Anger leads to the Dark Side, my young padawan.

[Lonestar]

Well, the light side Jedi are a bunch of pansies.

[Sovereign]

Did I say anything about being on the Light Side?

[Frankychan]

Sith, all the way!

BTW, did you figure out how to change your avatar?

[Mr. President]

I always used to play the Dark Side in that Star Wars card game made by Decipher. Now they don't make that any more, and the Wizards of the Coast game sucks.

[Sovereign]

Personally, I think a Light / Dark combo Jedi would rock.

You know why?

Go as the Light Side to get in the good guys graces, gain their trust, etc.

Then turn to the Dark Side, and massacre all the good guys when they least expect it.

[Mr. President]

That would be cool.

You'd also know both Light and Dark Side disciplines, and be a more versatile fighter than a solo-Light or solo-Dark Jedi.

Heck, that's the reason I like Dark Heart of the Wood (the fourth line of my signature).

[Frankychan]

Hey! I remember the Star Wars card game. It rocked! I had all the star destroyers and the major Imperial characters. I still have 'em in one of those folders that holds valuable cards.

I also got all the bounty hunters and most of the ships! That game was cool, but my friend would just cheat and put down Dagobah, have Yoda there, and just drain me until I ran out of cards. Face the might of the Imperial Fleet, coward!

(let me see if I can scan some of my cards to show you. Hopefully we are talking about the same game).


Oh, one more thing, Crimson-you are the man! The max setting for avatars IS 80x80.

[Frankychan]

Here's one of 'em. (Almost) everyone's fav....Boba Fett.

[Frankychan]

The ship that took out my friends entire Rebel fleet and won......

[Frankychan]

Imperial Squad Leader. I figured I needed him cause I got 10 Stormies in my collection.....not including the Snowtroopers, Sandtroopers, ATAT Pilot and Gunner, and TIE pilots.

[Mr. President]

That's the one I knew!

Looks like you had a much more powerful Imperial army than I ever did! I've only got one Star Destroyer, namely Devastator. I also have Admiral Motti, who is a pretty strong character but I think only had one line in the actual movie.

[Frankychan]

Friggin awesome I didn't know that anyone still remembered this game besides me.

My Imperials weren't always character heavy. I figured out that using swarms of stormies led by a squadleader and armed with guns can take out Leia, Han, and the rest of the Rebel scum.

Even TIE's using that "Tallon Roll" and "Dark Maneuver" combo can take out the Rebel ships (Red1, etc).

I think Motti is an underrated card. Just have him on the Devastator with a whole bunch of TIE escorts and the Rebels go down really fast.

Cool that this is the same game!

[Sovereign]

Sounds like an excellent game.

Where can I get a deck of these cards? Or is it a special thing like collecting baseball cards?
