  1. Characters: Swaindrix, Mako, Gault, Torian Prompt: Roadblock Timeline: sometime after class story completion Location: Alderaan Spoilers: Male BH romance
  2. Hee hee! In-game, Swaindrix is wearing a full set of gold scalene armor (minus the helmet; gotta see the guy!), but I'm not sure what he wears in my headcanon. I'll have to think about it. My tendency is to think he wears patched-together stuff that's too heavy and gets wrecked and replaced fairly often. His fighting style does tend toward "the more carnage, the better".
  3. Characters: Adwynyth, Quinn, Vette Prompt: Love Language/Showing Affection Timeline: sometime between Balmorra and the end of Chapter 1
  4. Characters: Swaindrix, Mako, Gault Prompt: Challenge Timeline: between Tatooine and Taris Spoilers: None I can think of
  5. Characters: Adwynyth, Vette, Quinn Prompt: Goals Timeline: Rishi Spoilers: surprisingly none, I think Okay, that was a little weak, guys,but I'm out of practice. It has been a few years. Re-subbed for a couple months, so I might have time for some real good stuff before time runs out. I might even finish the "Swaindrix goes after Skadge" story.
  6. *dives in from the ether, reads* AAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHHAHHAHAHAHAAA! Love it! I'd always hoped for another chronicle, but never dreamed it might happen! MORE!
  7. If I may add another "thing they could do" to your list, it would be this: start keying on the websites they advertise. Make the websites have to constantly change domains by focusing on the domain names. Right now, "gamer easy" (without the space) seems to be a big one. Add that to a "this is a bot" filter and, along with a couple other criteria, that would force a change that the spammers wouldn't be willing to stomach for long: having to register new domains over and over and over because their old ones would be unable to be spammed. I'm sure they'd eventually find a way to adapt, but it's something that would take them a while to defeat at least. You can't really change the spelling of your website without breaking what you're trying to accomplish: getting that one moron in a thousand to actually visit and buy your "product".
  8. Okay, here's my Palace of Insanity on Nar Shaddaa... Always start at the bottom. Here's the mailroom. Man, those interns work hard: http://i.imgur.com/C8UcyWl.jpg (And there are one or two mailboxes that I just couldn't get into the shot.) Never let it be said that we don't appreciate Force users. Here is the Prophecy of the Five (Revans): http://i.imgur.com/slWMIav.jpg This is the bantha observation room: http://i.imgur.com/Z2rtfNo.jpg http://i.imgur.com/LvruEBW.jpg (P.S. Please let us have more than 50 basic temple chairs. We've had complaints about those hard basic metal jobs.) Here's the beach room. Makes you feel like you're back on Rishi again, eh? http://i.imgur.com/D5qkFYw.jpg No? Oh. Well, moving on... This is my ode to idols of all types. Rishi seems to stand out here, perhaps because the idols are so frickin' huge. http://i.imgur.com/Ygkjm8u.jpg http://i.imgur.com/NsndS5r.jpg The meat orchard should bear a bumper crop this year. http://i.imgur.com/Rcy3pdL.jpg http://i.imgur.com/1vTN6lS.jpg Now if I could figure out how to grow seedless brisket, I'd make a fortune. Believe it or not, I do actually have a useful room: http://i.imgur.com/ZIdhl4y.jpg
  9. EDIT: Hi all! Just kinda passing through, but I figured I'd leave this here. Prompt: Lost and Found Characters: Adwynyth, Vette, Quinn, Jaesa, and Pierce Timeline: Ch. 2, Sometime during Quesh Spoilers: Nothing really (identity of a contact on Quesh) The distinct sound of carnage issued forth from the quarters of the galaxy's most capricious Sith. Vette, Pierce, and Jaesa barely looked up from playing sabacc. Carnage was pretty much standard operating procedure on this ship, and short of explosions or droids offering foot massages, there wasn't much that would draw more than token attention. "Do you think she's winning?" Vette asked. "When isn't she winning?" cracked Pierce, laying down his hand to groans from the others. "Gimme." While he raked in the pile, Jaesa glanced toward her master's quarters. "Winning at what?" She was still a little naive in matters of...well...things that made a Sith's quarters go "bump". Vette guffawed. "What do you think? What else is usually happening when that kinda noise happens?" She lasciviously made a hole with her thumb and forefinger and pointed aggressively at it with the other hand. Pierce huffed in amusement as he finished collecting his winnings and started shuffling the cards again. Jaesa's eyes widened. "Ohhhh...do you think that's what they're doing?" "What who is doing, Miss Jaesa?" said Quinn as he strolled in from the medbay. All three jumped slightly, assuming the captain to have been the other occupant of their boss' bedroom. "What? How? You..." Vette pointed back and forth between the Sith's quarters and Quinn. "I see you've retained your usual level of fluency in Basic." Vette stuck out her tongue in response. Pierce piped up. "Well, if you're not in there with her, mate--" "Lieutenant, you will use a proper form of address when speaking to me." Quinn snapped. "Well, if you're not in there with her, pipsqueak, who is?" Quinn was about to dress down Pierce further when the door to Adwynyth's quarters flew open, slamming against the wall. "Which one of you was it?" "Which one of us was what, master?" Jaesa asked innocently. "I was saving a bottle of Hutt tequila for today's Huttball match, so when the Frogdogs lose, I could go on a proper drunken bender and rant and rave at the holo as befits a Sith of my stature and level of inebriation. I'd been saving it since YESTERDAY!" Pierce couldn't resist. "Yesterday, m'lord?" Quinn slipped into parade rest. "Well, I drank the other five. Around here, I need it just to get through the day. Malavai?" The captain stiffened to attention. "My lord?" "I want a thorough search of this ship, from fore to...whatever you call the back. I want that bottle found. Full." She emphasized the last word while staring straight at Vette. "No Twi'lek logic this time." Vette just stared back, mock-innocently. "Hey, last time this happened, I just figured you'd want it quicker, and empty bottles are lighter and easier to carry." "Yeah, especially when you can't walk a straight line anymore," Adwynyth retorted. Quinn, ever the bureaucrat, relished this opportunity to do something organized. Ever the weasel, he also relished the opportunity to turn up dirt on his fellow crewmembers. "Right away, my lord. Allow me to fetch my clipboard..." As he wandered off to search for the bane of everyone else's existence, Vette called after him. "Hey, Quinny, speaking of missing things, I can't find my lucky headdress!" Jaesa looked at the Twi'lek. "I thought you looked different. That is a different one, isn't it? The lines--" Adwynyth cleared her throat for emphasis. "I'm not getting any drunker here, people. Move it! Quinn, what's taking so long?" The Imperial emerged from his medbay, looking for all the world like he'd lost a friend. Never mind that he'd likely never had one, it was so out of character that everyone stopped. Pierce simply couldn't help himself. "What's wrong, Captain?" "My clipboard...it's gone. I--" He looked as if he was about to burst into tears. In an uncharacteristic show of camaraderie, Pierce stood up and went over, patting the smaller man's shoulders. "There there, mate, have a swig of--" He hunted through his pockets, unable to find the flask he usually kept for emergencies: fashion shows, bored Sith, and any sort of lecture by Quinn. "Awright, you lot, who took my emergency hooch?" A dark-skinned balding man in uniform fairly stomped in from the cockpit. "Seriously? I ask for the Empire's best, and I get you? And you're this clueless?" He strode over to Jaesa. "She hasn't even noticed that I walked right up to her and stole her saberstaff!" He turned to Vette. "And you, you opened the door and let me on the ship! You didn't even ask who I was!" While Jaesa blushed furiously, Vette meekly offered, "Well, it was early, and I don't do early." "And not a single alarm on the ship when vital systems are touched, doors to quarters sliced, communications accessed without authorization?" Adwynyth stomped over to him. "The damn alarm kept going off for no reason." Quinn cleared his throat discreetly. "Yes, um...you see, the ship shakes whenever we, um...well..." The Sith had heard quite enough. "SEX! It's called SEX! You can say the word, can't you?!" She whirled back to their accuser. "Who the hell are you, anyway?" "Moff Dracen!" The look of utter incomprehension on Adwynyth's face spoke volumes. "Really? A prominent SIth doesn't know the man who's basically in charge of the entire Imperial presence on a planet?" He tossed the missing items on the lounge-area table. "I'm utterly disgusted with the lot of you. I'll be calling Darth Baras shortly." He strode out, looking for all the world every bit as imperious and humorless as Quinn on his best day. Adwynyth looked at the table. "Wait, where's my tequila?" --- Ten minutes later, Dracen returned to his office to find his staff just tuning into the Huttball match. "Ah, sir, you're just in time. Was it really worth all that just for a bottle of tequila?" "Well, the Frogdogs are certainly going to lose."
  10. Wow. Has it really been 14 months since I posted? Maybe I should check the Weekly Challenge Thread (if it's still around) and see if something newer sneaked in there.
  11. I know it's been a while, but lemme just pop my head in for a quick SQUEE.
  12. Almost since the moment it started being developed and its existence leaked out. They said, very early on, that they had no interest in creating a PvE version, and that's when most of us tuned out.
  13. It's not hard to believe at all that sometimes there will be website changes that need to be implemented. But taking the website down EVERY maintenance cycle is way overkill. There's no way there are ALWAYS website changes that are happening. Smacks to me of inadequate error-checking on the web side of things, or sharing a database, which is just sloppy. Hell, on STO maintenance time is when the most entertaining conversations happen between devs/mods and players. (Not to mention that's about half of their interaction; they're kinda bad about that.) Do any other major MMOs do this? I'll admit, I only play this and STO, so I dunno. Haven't heard such complaints about the 900-pound gorilla of the market, though.
  14. I'm on the west coast (well, AZ, close enough) and the east coast servers are screwed for me too. It's something with those servers, that data center, or something related.
  15. Awright, what idiot with a backhoe just dug something up near the East Coast data center?
