Okay I'd better get something down on paper here before I fix it and it becomes something else.

Night One;

Never have I felt so disconnected in an ORG before. Not since CBB at least. But it's my own fault I guess :/ I came in here with too rigid a schtick mapped out. You see, I totally bought into the whole 'take you on a Journey through Eps I through VI' thingie. I did my research as usual and have watched I, II, II.V, III & IV over the last fortnight, and here is what I expected to happen with my avatar;

[align=center]Posted Image[/align]

:lol:

Sorry Blondz, yes I was expecting sixish avatars for all 36 players *cracks graphic-slave whip* You're just about crazy enough to do it too.

But I was only looking at things from Obi's PoV. That is only even feasable for myself, Anakin and Palpatine I guess? I am still kinda hoping there is a General Kenobi stop-off with the full-on beard of authority before I get old and crinkly for Ep 4 :P

So anyways, I arrive last night and who is here? Not Qui, not Yoda, not Mace Windu - no-one who remembers my little teenage rebellion braid haircut. No, the people who are here are Luke, Han & Chewie, and of course their first PMs all refer to their memories of me :rolleyes:

tbh, I struggled. I didn't know where to go with it. I came in wanting to be the slightly arrogant, not yet in control of his emotions Obi, but I'm kinda being forced elsewhere. Add to that some silly work deadlines and a broken tooth IRL and I just called it a night at 4am and logged the fuck out.

If there were any ridiculous first night alliances created last night, I'm certainly not a part of them. :unsure:

Night Two

It's been a long day, but I think I've upped myself a fair bit on this Crew, at least into the 'no-one's enemy, let's keep him as one of our numbers' slot.

First Impressions

Chewie: Centerpin. Social, easy-going, taking the first-mate/co-pilot role behind Han - and therefore likely to last longer than Han too.

Han: Gogogo! Mercenary is a nice fit for this player. Not only is he smart-assering out in Deep Space, but he's loose and fast with his tactical play too. He could be an easy first boot but I want to see where his schtick & arc go.

Queen Amidala: Suitably ~Royal~ and ~Queenly~ but only on last night.Potential here for sure.

3PO: I've not messaged him much, but he is top end & apparently essential to the Crew. Someone swapped his Cyborg-Humans relations chip for a Cyborg-Wookie one by the looks of it. Close enough that he speaks Wook-ese. Damn translations, I thought I'd be the only one that could.

Luke: Squeezing in here at bottom of this bracket, but still above the one below the gap.

.
Mind the Gap
.

Masters Yoda & Qui-Gon, and Princess Leia all had the decency to leave a communique here for me this morning. Yoda's was a reply to one I had sent him, but the other two worked off their own initiative at least. Qui-Gon I certainly want to keep in, for story if nothing else.

Artoo is here too, but idk if it's his general cuteness or the few PMs we swapped that has me taking a shine to him?

.
mind the Gap
.

Windu has at least showed & PMd.
Lando is bottom of the pile but he was also here at one point..

How racist is that list? :unsure:

But there is tribal chatter, of those two & Qui-Gon being lower on the totem come tomorrow. I will save Qui-Gon. The other two best be impressive enough to save themselves.

I'm just gonna put this here, because I'm not sure how legal it is, and I don't want this becoming a Versus thing where people were doing it, but no-one mentioned it in their journals. Chewie & I have been talking in Wook-ese. Yes, actual Wook-ese. Have a google for Wookie translator and this pops up;

http://selarips.free.fr/wookieetranslator/

I believe C-3PO is also aware of this, what with him being programmed to understand multiple languages.

Now obviously in a Jedi Council situation this could afford us some advantage over the others if we needed to discuss things across without everyone understanding. On the other hand, it's not some obscure code, or hiding messages behind emotes. Any player worth their salt will rumble us pronto.

I can't fully speak for GaGa, but I see no reason why it shouldn't be allowed since in Versus the Smashers basically used emotes with secret meanings to communicate. Speaking in codes/obscure language won't make your posts invisible and everyone will at least see that you're trying to hide information from them.

Obviously the post confirming your vote has to be written in English lol.

Nine of eleven people are owed a PM by me, here's a snapshot of where I'm at with each. I'm not the top dog in this tribe.. yet. But I'm far from the bottom. I'm gonna try Hexa's bigger-picture play from MvC a bit. Not get too close to anyone, but be on the outskirts of anything that's happening. Leaving me primed for whatever format or tribal swap occurs.

Lets see if I can't piece these all together into a group portrait.





Chewie @ 20ish messages deep. Re: No hasty decisions. Han's pushing for a name. A :chewie but no :obi
Chewie
 
It's hard to talk to others though when they're not online. I blame my laziness and general dislike for PMing, but messaging you does not seem like a chore to me. akworcacraakc rooohu rarcwo shhucao ra cakwooaahraan oowhwo :chewie

I am quite used to Hans and his gung-ho-ness, which is why I'm actually not bothered or put off by it at all. But I haven't been his first mate for very long, you see. We are back at Episode 1, remember? ;)

Yes, I wasn't really ready to confirm those three as three names I'm comfortable with passing along to the others; so much can change between now and tomorrow evening. But you saying we are in no danger tomorrow does plant a comforting feeling in my stomach. I often got the same feeling when I used to eat the berries similar to the elderberries back home at Kashyyyk. rhhuao aoacraao ahc ahwh aoacwo akracao...

I don't believe it is GaGa's fault for there being no :obi. I just tried searching for one for you, and couldn't find a damn thing.

See why Chewie is the best player and centerpin already? He's complimentary for a start. Echoing my opinions. Willing to play a little schticky and a little cutesy too.
:chewie :<3



Padme @ 6 messages deep. Re: Han pushing for names so soon;
Padme
 
You are as insightful as you are polite, Master Kenobi. Thank you for that advice. I will take it to heart as we begin this journey together.

How are you finding our fellow crew members of the Millenium Falcon? Well, I hope. I feel as if the two of us have a bond that none of the others understand. After all, it is you and I that went through the emotional turmoil of seeing Anakin turn to a Sith right before our very eyes. I have nobody to talk to about such events other than yourself, and that is very comforting to me.

translation: wtf is she on about. She completely passed over the Han thing and jumped straight to "who do you like" conversation.
She is at this stage with a few others, likely the ones who showed on Friday when she was here for a while too (Han/Chewie/Luke), and is mass PMing but personalising each. The only person who has mentioned her as an ally is Han - although he may have been referring to Leia. No-one has mentioned her as a target either. I will develop this relationship indeed.




Luke @ 10ish messages deep. Re: Let's make sure when an alliance comes together, we are both a part of it. What say you on boot targets?
Luke
 
Good to be on Ben (I know you aren't him yet but I cannot see you in any other way besides Ben)

That is...wow. That is intense. It makes me want to be a jedi more. And ok, I will not say a word about you Ben. I don't want to destroy the universe in any way.

All right, I understand that. I will wait for you to be a full jedi then. Yoda has already started a bit though so hopefully I can get a leg up while you train.

I know! Ugh why does everyone remind me of that? It was one time.

All right. I do trust them. And I like a lot of people here. As for who to trust or distrust, as of now I trust those who are here more than those who are not. I really like Mother. Han is good too, same with C-3, Chewey, and my sister. Yoda is good too. Basically I like just about everyone, but mainly the ones I just named. R2 has potential, Mace I haven't said too much too, Lando I haven't said anything to, and Giu-Quo and I haven't talked too much.

Yourself?

translation: We like the same obvious people, but me & Yoda have a bond that you can be third wheel to if you're interested? I too heard from Han that Mace/Lando/Qui are the obvious targets due to their lesser activity.
I like Luke, his schtick is fitting yet not unwieldy. The Yoda bond surprises me a little, but it fills in a gap or two for me. And you can bet your bottom dollar I will be your third wheel.




Han @ 25 messages deep. Re: No need to make hasty decisions
Han
 
That is fair, Jedi Master. I don't ask of anybody to be here the whole time and all.

How are you looking at the rest of these folks? We're stuck with eachother for a while anyway.

=ugh, you bastard give me a damn name! Although he shouldn't be, I gave him two. Han is playing so hard, so fast. It's quite character fitting :wub: idk though he's a loose cannon, and who knows how many contacts he's made since he's here all.the.time. It could easily be turned around to boot him first, but I don't want to stick my neck out yet, he's a good shit-stirrer and lightning rod for later, and I'm enjoying his schtick.

I can learn to love his short & snappy PM style too.




3PO @ 8 messages deep. Re: Hmm, Jedi Council format is a bit of a doozy, how should we approach it. Also, Chewie filled you in on the Wookese language thing yes?
3PO
 
Indeed though I think Grievous was programmed to wield a lightsaber? I wouldn't imagine a droid would be competent enough to be a Jedi Knight however, the Force only flows through organic beings

Oh you are too kind Master Obi-Wan. I am merely a protocol droid but that thought sends waves of pride down my circuitry.

Yes indeed, I can communicate in Wookie, however it seems Chewbacca has mastered the Human language and my services are not needed in that respect. And I am human or humanoid - cyborg relations. They need not be strictly human. My use would be quite limited if that were the case, and I am programmed for efficiency!

translation: I am more of a Star Wars nerd than you :P (not hard in fairness). And I'm not sure if I should tell you that yes I understand his growls :/
I feel like 3PO is gonna be a big player on this tribe. I need to build a better bond with him.




Yoda @ 4 messages deep. Re: Old Ben/Padawan Kenobi
Yoda
 
Old I am, and hundreds of years I have lived. Cannot remember things as well as I used to, herh herh herh. The past, present and future we have all been thrown together, hmmm? Great you will be, even a blind man can see. But great you are now, and greater your potential, Obi-Wan.

Many trials will we face, and new things will all of us learn every day. Even at my age, there is much to learn. Made some new friends, did you get the chance?

translation: Oh you like schtick? I will play even schtickier so.
Good to see he is adapting per PM, and he's right, I will favour him because he is being schticky. Wise Master, he is, for nothing, it's not.




Artoo @ 5 messages deep. Re: Who are you friendly with?
Artoo
 
What are your thoughts on the secret triads in the game? Think they'll have much impact on it? Gaga certainly added a new twist on knowing someone elses ~Triad~ not only gains you knowledge but also the power to gain another idol. That's crazy man.

Dark siders are the least of my worries right now. I need to just use this new program that I downloaded to speak to everyone. Without this, I'd be shit out of luck. You're playing a pretty cool character, I'm jealous. I'll do the best I can with this little guy. Your hood makes you all bad ass and stuff.

translation: I want those idols sooooo bad.
I get the feeling here R2 is quite new to ORGs, but not brand new. His schtick is off. He's complaining about the PM system. He's clumsily complimentary. He will prolly go far, but I'm not tying myself to him anytime soon.




Windu @ 3 messages deep. Re: I felt your lack of presence.
Windu
 
Yeah I think think that tomorrow's gonna be very hectic. And it sucks because I have work for a majority of the day and I get back home just in time for the challenge. Well hopefully it happens at some point tomorrow cuz I literally haven't heard a word about targets at all, that's probably for the best though.

translation: I've not been here much. Am I in trouble??
Now here comes my first big conundrum of the game. I could probably lock Windu into a Jedalliance here simply by dobbing Han in to him. But do I really want to risk a minority alliance with someone I barely met, at the expense of a comfortable seat middling the soon to be majority? idk yet. I think I'll wait till Lando leaves and then see.




Leia @ 3 messages deep. Re: Schtick & backstories
Leia
 
Shit, I'll just come out and admit I have no clue what the fuck you're talking about. I'm sorry you were so confused though, believe me, after this PM I know how you feel :<3

translation: I don't like/don't care for your schtick. I'm a poor social player but maybe if I lob a loveheart on the end here it will cover up my lack of skills. Eeek, I hope no-one minds when I start pushing for her boot after Lando's.




Qui @ 2 messages deep
Qui-Gon
 
..

translation: I am aware that opening weekend is important, but not so much that I'm actually gonna be here for it :/ How can I save you Qui if you're not here? You were supposed to be my #1 schtick-partner, don't let my big plans go to waste.



Lando @ 1 message deep.
Lando
 
..

translation: I don't do weekends, and am unaware I'm the most likely first boot.

That's what I was thinking. Like it's easily crackable for any smart player, which should add to some clusterfuckery if anyone rumbles us.

I can't even keep my eyes open, but I saved Naboo as the last board I would read confessionals at, seeing as it was the only board I read confessionals at night 1 and neglected the shit out of the others. But, I had to stop in and just read your confessional before I put my ass to nap for a few hours.

Everything in here is brilliant, from those emotes you made ((which I will d/l and install later tonight)) to those amazing PM/character rundowns. <3 I loved it all and I love you and I am just happy as fuck you are playing in this game. I should have strated you out without the beard. That was my bad. D: I guess you'll miss an evolving stage, oops and I am crazy enough to make all those avis and then turn you into a hologram/corpse when the time comes.

Anyways, I just was stopping in, now I am going to pass out. yw

Hmm, I thought I would throw Master Qui a bone and warn him his name was being put up beside Lando's as fodder. That's a pairing I would really like to see happen, if for the story-arc if nothing else.

He informs me Han & Chewie both told him the same :/

Han, who has been pushing his name harder than anyone, & Chewie, who 'doesn't want to make waves'.

smh

Wow, this is a little nerve-wracking. I know if myself or han was in there, we'd have the cheek to boot Lando to his face. But these five.. idk.

If they must settle on someone outside the voters? Windu maybe? Hopefully I have enough bonds built in there to keep me safe at least.

Also 11pm challenges </3
