Yeah, you're right. The sets would be nice (Q's lab *wub* ) but those three things might give lego some greif. Even if they left out the booz and women.

We will! It is your fault though... X-D No one made you be lazy... :-P

Yes, the Empire has been good to bounty hunters er, civilians like me. All the Rebellion has done is to cause unnecessary deaths.

ooc: Can someone tell me how to wrap this in spoilers? This is long, and I want to save space. MM to lord *vader* : We have landed. We have split into four groups, and are launching our strike attack now: *Three Rebel soldiers are at a guard station. One, wanting to stretch his legs, gets out of the booth. Soldier 1: *sees glimmer of metel* What the- *Suddenly, a small dart protrudes from his neck, and he falls* *Two holes suddenly appear in the transparisteel window of the booth, and the other two guards collapse* Jaing: *lowers Verpine rifle* Coast is clear. *The body of one guard falls on the alarm trigger, and the alarm unexpextently goes off* MM: What the? Who did that? Everyone, get inside the building, NOW! *MM, Jaing, and 20 supercommandos run inside* Jaing: *Stops and looks in booth* Wayii! The little di'kut fell on the alarm! MM: Seems we lost the element of suprise. *voice crackles on the com* Tagren: What the haraan was that?! Are you there? Jaing: *opens comlink to all commandos* Men, we've lost the element of suprise. Oya! (Let's go/lets hunt/good luck) Mass reply: Oya! *in command station, a bith named Binda is watching the monitors* Binda: Sir! Sir! We've got trouble! Imperialscouts: Yes? What is it? Binda: I don't know. Somehow, a score(20) or so men have gotten inside the building, and they're heavily armed! Imperialscouts: What?! how? Binda: Like I said, I don't kno- Wait! There's more! forty... sixty... eighty! eighty men inside the building! Imperialscouts: How could the empire have gotten stormtroopers inside the star system without our knowledge? Binda: They're not stormtroopers, sir. I'm not sure what they are. They look like, well, but that's impossible! Imperialscouts: *checks screen* Mandalorians! *Turns to intercom* I want all men on duty, now! *back at the battle* Tagren: haha! It worked! We caught 'em with their nightgowns on! Atin: Pay attention! Nightgowns or not, we don't want any men lost! Tagren: yeah, ye-(glowing object streaks by) whoah! What was that?! Commando: Sorry, Tag'ika! You should be paying attention! Tagren: What? *Sees bodies of two wookies three feet away* oh. kandosii! (fancy) *Back at command station* Imperialscouts: Binda! Update! Binda: Not good, sir. Most of our men were caught as they were coming out of the barracks. We only have twenty men left fighting, sir! Imperialscouts: Oh, no... *scream comes from outside* Rebel trooper: grenade! Take cov- *explosion* Imperialscouts: Quick! *presses button on wrist communicator, door opens in ceiling and ladder slides down* Binda, take the men up that ladder. There is a fast ship hidden at the end of the passage, go! *They leave* *main door opens, Imperialscouts turns to see what is going on, and a chunk of the wall next to him shatters* MM: Gotta love the verpine rifle. No noise, and no recoil. Now, drop your blaster and hold your hands up. Imperialscouts: *Brings blaster pistol up fast, looses off a shot* MM: *ducks, shot grazes his hip, and sprints at Imperialscouts* *They collide* *Imperialscouts drops his blaster. He throws a punch at MM, but gets a sore fist as his hand hits the chest plate* MM: *Gets up and away from Imperialscouts, and levels his verpine at him* Now, put your hands up, or I'm going to have to have to cripple you. Imperialscouts: never! Pulls vibroshiv from belt* MM: Very well. *Fires* *nothing happens* Imperialscouts: That's the problem with projectile weapons, they run out of ammo. Now, you put your hands up, Mandalorian, and tell me what you're doing here. voice: Garrik! tracinya! MM: *ducks as a wave of fire engulfs the room* Whoah! *checks room* Fierfek, he's gone! Wait, up their! *They look up as the secret door closes* *Jaing fires a few rounds at the door, but shots ricochet around room* MM: Yike! *ducks again as shot bounces over his head* Thank's for that. Jaing: Kih'parjai (don't mention it) MM: I was being sarcastic. I almost had him. Jaing: What? He had you cornered. Your verp was broken! MM: You should know better. I tagged him with a Dust round. He didn't feel a thing. Jaing: Sorry. I meant for the best. MM: I know. I- *Stops as a sudden roar shakes the building. They run outside, and see the small ship rocketing away* Hm. No doubt he was on that. *Atin runs up* Atin: Jaing, three dead, and twelve injured, though only one seriously. He should be all right, though. As for the Rebels, thirty-one dead, and forty-two taken prisoner, including twenty-one injured. MM: Only three dead? That's amazing. Jaing: What, you think all we do is sit and let the crops grow? We've been training hard. MM: And it paid off. Hold on, I need to contact Lord Vader. So, lord *vader* ! There you have it. Imperialscouts escaped, but like I said, I tagged him with a Dust round. Dust is microscopic transmitters. It can also be loaded in a special round. When shot, it explodes on impact, scattering all over the target. When calibrated correctly, the target never feels the shot. So, since it is coating Imperialscouts at the moment, we can now track him. However, Dust has a limited range, as it is so small. If he is on a planet that is monitored by the Empire (which is nearly everywhere) we can find him in an instant. I leave his capture in the hands of your Empire. The time is ripe to catch him. Also, I must talk to Jaing and the supercommandos; I will ask them to stay with me. Many of them have families back at the settlement, but I am relatively certain that they will accompany. Lastly, you also have thirty-eight prisoners, Lord *vader* . Do what you want with them. I shall commandeer a civilian craft and have them sent to you. Perhaps someone will have information. MM out.

Well, you start out as a TIE pilot or an Imperial trooper. The leaders will promote you to whatever position they see fit. So, I suppose they could demote you to "Imperial poop-scrubber" if they wanted to... Well, the leaders on the Imperial side are Vader and xwingyoda, and Imperialscouts on the Rebel side. Savy? P.S.- You are joining the Imperials, RIGHT? *aims TIE at jifel* X-D

Now, before you start scratching your heads, let me explain. It's a lot funnier when you know the situation. During the summer, the High Desert Museum (bend, OR) has a show called Desert Dwellers, involving the birds of prey and reptiles of the area. This summer, however, has been a bit chilly. So, since the temperature was below 60 degrees Fahrenheit, we couldn't show the reptiles in the show. So we substistuted, with... rubber reptiles! :-D Just imagine, the staff, playing their part, saying "I think I've spotted one of the animals native to this area! I think it's a...*holds up fake reptile* "A rubber reptile! Isn't he amazing?" while trying not to crack up. :-D

Why don't we answer the question first, and then be confusing? I think that's a better order. :-P The Tie Army Thread is sort of like an RPG, or role playing game. Basically, you start out as an Imperial (or Rebel, but they're hopeless :-P ) soldier and you do assignments for Lord *vader* . If you do good, you work your way up in the ranks.

Can you fix the link to show these pictures? I like this set. The dock is classic-castle-ish

ooc: eighty, not eight. ten ships, each carrying eight men. ;-) The contact must be mistaken, as I am not after Maul. Tell him to send this to the bounty hunter, The Kid.

OOC: Ah, that's all right then. Rebel, or on your own? Oh, and welcome to Eurobricks! :-) Also, I forgot to mention that the Mando'a language was written by Karen Traviss, not me. ;-) Back in character: The Mandalorian recruitment mission was a success. I am currently piloting my ship, the Dawn Rose, the extensively modified Kuat Drive Yards Amphibious Interstellar Assault Transport/infantry previously mentioned to Roon. I have under my wing ten Mando'a ships, each carrying eight Mandalorian Supercommandos. Eighty warriors may not sound like much, but you must remember, eighty Mandalorians is an army! Also, in the Dawn Rose, I have Jaing, Atin, and Tagren with me. The Rebel base does not stand a chance!

Please read the Guidlines for the Tie Army Thread. No sith allowed.

MM to lord *vader* ... I am approaching the Mandalorian 'settlement' now in my extensively modified Kuat Drive Yards Amphibious Interstellar Assault Transport/infantry. You may know of one named Jaster's Legacy. The conversations in basic are mixed with Mando'a, or the Mandalorian language, so I have provided a translation. *Ship descends through the clouds, revealing a spartan town with grids of farmland* *Lands next to one of the larger houses, which is located in front of a large square, in which curious Mando settlers are gathering, many of which are drawing small sidearms* *Mr. M gets out* *A tall, regal looking man with broad shoulders and strong features walks forward. He is partly clad in the chest peice of Mandalorian armor, and carrying the Mando favorite, the Verpine rifle* *MM and the man stop in front of the other, looking at each other* Jaing: su'cuy, vod (hello, brother)! It has been too long. You look well. MM: su cuy'gar(Hello-Lit- you're still alive). You look well, too. Seems I got the full welcoming party. Jaing: Not every day someone is foolish enough to land in the middle of our town. MM: Hm. Your village seems a bit, er, sedimentary. Jaing: Maybe, but we are still verda (warriors) at heart. *man runs up* Jaing: Yes, Atin? Atin: Su'cuy, Garrik! I thought you were kyr'am (dead). Jaing (jokingly): usenye (go away; very rude) Atin: You wound, Jai'buir (buir- father)! Jaing: The same to you, At'ika (-ika- suffixe for affectionate usage). Now, off with you! *Atin leaves* MM: How does he remember my name? Jaing: Mando'ad draar digu (a mandalorian never forgets) MM: Why is his name Atin? If I recall, that means stubborn. Jaing: Not just stubborn. He stood his ground against a wild strill (six-legged, extemely intelligent carnivore) because he thought of himself as a coward. He promised himself that if he was ever attacked while he was unarmed, he would not run away. MM: He is brave. I need men like that. Jaing: So that's why you're here. Well, we are warriors. MM: I know. That's why I'm here. I'm in the employ of Lord Vader. I need to get inside a Rebel stronghold. Jaing: Don't worry about that. My men are itching for a taste of the old times. I'm sure they'll jump at the chance for a good scrap. Let me talk to them. *Walks up to the front of the assembled villagers* Jaing: Verda! My brother, Garrik, comes to us with a plea for help! As Mando'ade, we are warriors, but we are also an vode! (all brothers) I will not make you, but I do ask you, that you come with us! *lowers voice* I know many of you long to live the glory days. This is your chance. Please, help. MM: Short and sweet. I like it. How many do think will come? Jaing: If I know them, most of them. *Large man approaches* Tagren: Jai'buir, you have me. When do we leave? Jaing: Good. We leave as soo- MM: Whenever you are ready. Say goodbye to wives and children; you never know when you will meet them again. *Another man walks up, whispers something to Jaing, and leaves* Jaing: Good advice, Garrik. Come- Before we leave, I'd like to invite you to a feast. MM: thank you. *they walk off* *from the crowd, a chant arises, growing in strength as voices join* Bal kote, darasuum kote, Jorso 'ran kando a tome. Sa kyr 'am Nau tracyn kad, Vode an. (And glory, eternal glory, We shall bear its weight together. Forged like a saber in the fires of death, Brothers all.) --Traditional Mandalorian war chant It seems as if things are going well here, lord *vader* Soon we will have wiped the Rebel presence from Roon, and most importantly, find out if Imperialscouts is hiding there. (out of character) How did you like that? I had to cut out quite a bit to make it shorter, but I thought it was nice.

:-D :-D :-D That's great. Thank's for sharing. I like this one the most though.

Ooh, a Greivous model? So Lego is listening to us. I just hope it's posable.

Hmm, yes, I think I can... A bit high pitched... X-D If it has a hailfire and a dwarf spider droid, I can see why he think's its a Geonosis playset, since both these droids were at the Geonosis battle. If it is Geonosis, then maybe we'll get Ep II clones! Oh boy! *sweet* :'-)

MM to Lord *vader* Sorry about the abrupt ending of my last transmission. I was attacked from behind by a drunken bar patron while his friends attacked from the front. Luckily, Mandalorian armor can take more punishment than the feeble attacks of civilians with rusty pipes. I have found the hidden Rebel base, and am scouting it now. It is rather heavily guarded, and I am unable to determine whether Imperialscouts is there or not. The only way to find out is to get in there myself. I think that it is time that I called up a few Mandalorian friends of mine... MM out.

Why do people think it will be a UCS set? If it's going to be motorized (it seems that it's going to be), it will probably be smaller so it can actually walk.

What do you mean his death wasn't violent? If it wasn't, it sure was explodifying!

This one's funny, cute, and educational! And all about the universe!Makes you feel kinda small... http://dingo.care2.com/cards/flash/5409/galaxy.swf

I really hope this is true. In fact, it sounds too good to be true. If it is true, I'll have to think I've died and been to heaven. :-P

MM to lord *vader* I have landed on the surface of the planet Roon, I am exiting my ship now. I saw little Rebel activity as I descended through the atmosphere. However, there was the occasional X-wing in the distance, so that proves that my source was partly right. I still don't think that there are enough Rebels here to denote the presence of Imperialscouts, though. Anyways, I am walking out of the docking area, and the planet looks like it has recently had a minor conflict. Luckily, most of the civilian population is preoccupied by the Roon Colonial Games, so I should have little trou- Oh, fierfek- *thunk* [end transmission]

How does that work? *wacko* X-D I'm glad they got this out, great for parts pack. I only wish they had a proper knight with the, er, pointy *wacko* helmet? Forgot what it's called. Something german... :-/ Well, this knight's helmet. Now, all we need is a SW chess...

While we're still on the subject of ownage... Don't worry, the videos come on in a second Birdstrike F-15... OWNed by a bird... Nissile Failure Not quite what I'd call ownage, but still owned Harrier takes a dip To be owned! Also, this is kind of interesting Mid-air collision Can't help it. I get all my funny e-mails from my grandpa, and since he's a veteran, he likes these.

I really dislike that quote. |-/ However, weasels do get eaten by eagles. And some drown!

Did my joining perhaps have anything to do with that particular career choice? :-P Also, I forgot to mention that Roon is a planet. Sorry if I stumped anyone.
