So what you're suggesting is that I'm not kneeling to have a rest because I don't own or have no concept of how to use a mattress... nor because I am suddenly and inexplicably surrounded by 1,000 other kneeling Sages and am compelled to blend in... nor because I have a wobbly weapon in need of some knee-related steadying, and not because I'm in dire need of a rearward evacuation... but because I am, actually, deep down and subconsciously... weak.

I shall bring this up with my therapist. Thanks for that.

Meanwhile, I'll blame the orokeet.

There is this thing called imagination. The inference is of one's self bracing for the transformation from one world to another as exemplified in such movies as terminator, or star trek....the latest movie when Spock knelt so as to brace himself for when he landed on an apparently unstable planet?

It is both a nice touch, and some nice fodder to keep the whiners busy formulating how this will lead to not only the end of the game, but global warming and maybe even life itself....

What happens during off-time, stays during offtime.

I kinda like the kneel down when logging in. All we're missing is the time displacement bubble.

what an entertaining thread this has been, and OP, you are hilarious! i jumped on this thread so fast when i saw it. for the last 2 days or so i have logged in to find my character kneeling and i was at a complete loss on how how to explain it. its not game breaking or anything just thought it was odd. now i know its my baby taun-taun's fault, and he seemed so innocent! i shall chuck him into the nearest ravine next time i log in, that should solve the issue

This has been the most amusing thread of the day for sure. I can't imagine why I didn't realize that My Sith Assasins new found inclination to rest between log ins resided with his new tauntaun. It was the only thing that had changed. But then again, I activated it when I got it and promptly forgot about it, because it's small and runs around behind me pretty unnoticed. When I do see him, I remind myself to dismiss him, as it's hardly fitting for a powerful Sith to have a cute and cuddly furrball following him around, but then I get distracted by murders and such.

Interesting. I logged on this morning and found my character kneeling. I did not know there was a Tebowing epidemic.
