All right folks, we have a veritable plethora of characters with one kind of power or another: Sith, jedi, dark jedi, weird made up dudes, you name it.

From now on NO MORE NEW CHARACTERS UNLESS THEY ARE "normal" citizens of the galaxy. We need more of these and less of the "power" guys if we're going to get any interesting role play going.

Any characters with force, magick, etc. will be summarily deleted.

I can understand not wanting so many "power" characters, especially in majority. But COMPLETELY restricting it? I'd think more of number thing for future members.... but maybe I'm just foolish. I mean is the magic of starwars not only the special effects, but the powers and magesty behind it?

No go.

A lot of what you call "power and majesty" of star wars is in Han Solo, and Chewbacca, and Leia, and yes, in R2D2 and C3PO.

They don't have any super powers, and they did a durned good job destroying the Death Star.

So, until further notice, I'd like to see more "Hans" and "Leias" and "Chewies" onboard, please.

Personally, I think its a good idea...we need more normal folk round here. Like Gray said, more "Hans' and "Chewies."

Wait..."Chewies?"

Oooh! A wookie character! If that counts as normal, I am SO game!

Yeah, by all means, go for it!

Remember, as "normal" I mean "non-Force-bearing, non-magickal, just-an-ordinary-kinda-character."

It's better if that character would be a Wookie, a Sullustan, or whatever. More like the "real" SW universe.

Yes, Human does seem to be the "normal" race around here, above all others, seconded by sith.

Poor ostridge. Take a look one paragraph above:

From now on NO MORE NEW CHARACTERS UNLESS THEY ARE "normal" citizens of the galaxy. We need more of these and less of the "power" guys if we're going to get any interesting role play going.

Unless you have the brains of alphabet soup, it's kinda obvious.

Paragraph? First of all that is 2 sentances. Second Unless you cant read, (Which you obviously just proved) it says:

From now on NO MORE NEW CHARACTERS UNLESS THEY ARE "normal" citizens of the galaxy. We need more of these and less of the "power" guys if we're going to get any interesting role play going.

hopefully that makes sense

2000 pages a day is pretty good for reading.... anyway, would GS or someone with common sense aside from myself get out here and tell him? Seeing as that means almost ALL the characters would be deleted?

Hold it, everyone. Don't get your feathers all ruffled. If you already have an existing jedi/power character that you write with (that has already been described and is in the current rpg forums) there will be no change.

HOWEVER, if you are planning to CREATE a character, you cannot create any character other than a normal Tom, Dick, Harry...

...Jabba, Han, or Ackbar. No special powers or Force abilities on NEWLY CREATED CHARACTERS.

Got the difference now?

I got the point. Though I'm sot sure right now if I'll make any other characters at this point.

Xenn you're such a worry wart. I think you read too much into what GS said. You're character is safe from deletion since it is currently in a forum.

I don't think Mara1Jade or GS could say it any simpler. Do you under stand what's going on now?

Ok, here it is, straight from the horse's mouth:

ANY NEW CHARACTERS, WHETHER CREATED BY EXISTING AUTHORS OR NEWBIES, WHO ARE GIVEN ANY EXTRAORDINARY POWERS (Jedi, Dark Jedi, magick, whatever!) WILL BE DELETED. THE DELETION WILL INCLUDE ANY POSSIBLE DESCRIPTION, AS WELL AS ANY POSTS MADE BY/ATTEMPTED TO BE MADE BY SAID CHARACTER.

THIS ALSO PERTAINS TO ANY CHARACTER WHO HAS ALREADY (ie: to date) BEEN CREATED AND HOLDS THE ABOVEMENTIONED POWERS (Jedi, Dark Jedi, magick, whatever) WHO HAS YET TO MAKE AN APPEARANCE IN OUR ROLE PLAY.

I've noticed there are some weird super-dupers in descriptions who haven't joined in any role play threads yet, and who have been in our descriptions forums for awhile; these characters are AS OF TODAY not allowed in role play. So far, the following characters are now considered defunct:

"A New Darth" by Ceranuth
Havoc
Soman Socar - Dark Jedi Apprentice
Dark Lord Belur
Dark Lord Silvermane

These guys have made no attempt to role play, or to adjust their descriptions so they COULD enter easily into our role play, or to join us in posting of any kind. SOO-OO-OOO... if I see any of these dudes suddenly role playing, they are gonna be toast.

Sorr-rry...

???

Umm... I went through the entire "Every Secret Has a Beginning" thread. No posts by Soman Socar ANYWHERE... but a heckuva lot by Sellith.

Sorry, the character "Soman Socar" is defunct.

Hehe... I believe so. I found the discrepency:

He is writing under the userid of "Sellith" for the character of "Soman Socar," who like Palpatine has a "normal" name as well as a Dark Jedi "Darth" one.

That's where the confusion arose; sorry Sellith. Maybe if you copied your description, deleted the Soman Socar character, and then reposted under Sellith any further confusion can be avoided.

Sellith: you need to do this; new writers who would possibly be coming into your thread would have a hard time finding the description for "Sellith" as it isn't in Descriptions, and would probably never read the "Soman Socar" description at all.

This is why we put up our character descriptions under the userid for that character.
