Idea! (Requires vent and a mic... I think.)Since everyone on these forums spends so much time on SWG, why not start a Machinima series? I have no idea what it might be called, but I do have a thought-up-in-one-minute-script.I do NOT hate any of the people represented here saying dumb crap I thought up. *The scene opens up with Liisa, Inegrado and Phillipe looking at some stormtrooper patrol from mostly behind a building. They are debating how they should attack.* Liisa: ...and THAT strategy would not require any of us to act as bait! Inegrado: But it DOES involve one of us to blindly charge in while the others charge a full ten seconds afterwards. Namelly, that person being me. Phillipe: Oh, I thought it was awesome! Inegrado: Why? Because I'll be close enough so you can kill both the stormtroopers AND me with a grenade? Phillipe: That was a ONE TIME incident! ONE TIME! Liisa: Shut up you two. Ok, how about we all just surround them? They won't be able to survive an attack from 3 different positions. Phillipe: OR... *gets out from behind the building, throws a grenade at the troopers... and it blows up and kills them all* Liisa: And you didn't do that earlier because... Phillipe: Oh, I thought we were going to just run away like every other time. Liisa: You expect to win every time, when we are occasionally outnumbered 50 to one? Phillipe: Yes. Yes I do. Liisa: I'd bet you would be mowed down in a second. Phillipe: I beg to differ. Also, stick your money where your mouth is, for once. Liisa: You're saying I'm afraid to make bets that are obviously in my favor? Inegrado: Well, you DID chicken out when he tried to make a bet with you that he could breathe in the vacuum of space... without a suit. AND that time that he tried to bet he could open a magsealed box using only his elbows. *flashbacks of both incidents* *In the main room of a Sorosuub* Phillipe: ...that I can breathe in outer space! Without a suit! If I lose, I'll give you 100,000 credits! *In a random storage room, in front of a magsealed container* Phillipe: ...that I can open this magsealed box with my elbows! I'll give you my landspeeder if I lose! *back to the three* Liisa: I refused the first one because he would have died. Phillipe: Would not! Liisa: Shut up. I never really refused the second one. I laughed for ten minutes on the floor, and passed out. Inegrado: A mere technicallity. Phillipe: That offer still sta- BEHIND YOU!!! *Phillipe shoots a trooper over Liisa's shoulder* Liisa: HOLY CRAP!!! Inegrado: I thought they were all dead! *Cuts to the other side of the builiding. Griven, Dew and Jaminos, in some kind of different stormtrooper armor each, are having a similar discussion.* Jaminos: My offer still sta-*sound of a blaster being fired* what was that? Dew: What was what? Jaminos: I just heard blaster fire. Griven: We were called here to retrieve some bodies. Let's get back on that. Dew: NOW? C'mon, can't we wait a few more minutes? Griven: No. *back to the rebels* Liisa: No. Now come on, let's go get those bodies. We need that armor for spying, remember? Phillipe: Can I shoot the bodies again when we take the armor? *Viewed from a balcony in front of the bodies, also across from the two hiding groups* Liisa and Griven: No. Now come on. *they walk out from the seperate sides at the same time. The two leaders see each other.* Liisa and Griven: SURPRISE ATTACK! OPEN FIRE! *cuts to any credits you want to include, with the sound of a battle in the background* ...so what do you guys think? Good, stupid or plausible? |

Doing anything like that on a regular basis would require a lot of work.
Also of note, I do not think Griven, Dew, or Jaminos currently subscribe to the game. Not to say that it couldn't be done. I believe Degwin did something along these lines a bit of time ago. |
||||
| Meh |
Really? If you could find it, could you PM me a link? | ||||
| Philippe |
you have no idea how many times i have tried to start stuff like this...it just doesnt work.
someone is always busy no matter what so you barely can get a time when everyone is on |
||||
| Dew |
I dont subscribe, or take orders from Griven 
|
||||
| Griven |
I don't subscribe, and I don't give orders to losers like Dew. 
You've been given my vote. Please curl up and die. |
||||
| Liisa |
It would work with me as a writer and Cyl making the pics. But Liisa would end up in all the strips and she'd always be the smart one and Philippe always the one doing the stupid things. 
|
||||
| Meh |
I just made it up as I went.
And Griven, I don't take orders from imperials. 
And liisa, I meant filiming this with a recorder like fraps or hypercam. Not making a comic. But that's a great idea too!

This whole thread is great! Vanz, Safia, Kuri and I can be up on the balcony, watching and sharing popcorn. |
||||
| Meh |
I dunno. I guess the plot could be that the 2 groups fight... the imperials win...  ... start taking the rebels back to their base... but the they get attacked on the way. The speeder is useless, so they are stranded in the middle of Lok, and need to find a way to get to civilization... somehow.
Oh yeah, and they're forced to work together... somehow. And the aformentioned balcony group appears at random times up on hills and stuff, and when the stranded people try to talk to them from a distance, they mysteriously dissapear behind the hill before they can get there. /madeastupidplot :/ |

I don't know, I enjoyed it...especially the dialogue. | ||||
| Meh |
Feel free to use it. Even a comic made of screenshots and text bubbles would be awesome. ^_^ | ||||
| Dew |
Says the man that played a Stormtrooper that wet himself at the first sign of a blaster
|

| Griven |
I resemble that remark. Aside from Trooper Piss-Pants, you may also remember me from such performances as... Trooper Bantha Bob Trooper Joe #128349 Unidentifiable Cannon Fodder ...and... Generic Blackjack Dealer I'll be expecting my Oscar in the mail soon. |

| Sai'nu |
Someone actually did this back when SWG first started. It was about a Rodian and his mouse droid. I still wonder what ever happened to that guy. |
||||
| xyryn |
I especially enjoyed Trooper Bantha Bod...very good performance. | ||||
| Dew |
I think they have an awards show for extras..... |
||||
| Oniss |
Honestly this almost makes me want to come back to the game to help with it. It would be pretty fun. | ||||
| Meh |
I might start it, but the earliest I can come back is June. 
|
||||
| Griven |
Yeah. I believe it's called the "Look Who Didn't Blow the Director" awards. |
||||
| Dew |
Well, what is your excuse then???
|
||||
| Cryil |
You say that like it differes from the real game
|

| inegrado' |
LOL Finally, someone gets it. Phil, I told you I was smarter than you!! I would be up for it. With all the RP ive seen recently I think it could work, now that more people are back in the mindset. And Phil, I STILL bet you you can't breathe in space, But lets up the antie. Yoy gotta do it....In the buff......eh? huh? chicken...... | ||||
| Meh |
I think you would have some resemblance of Grif from RVB, Inegrado.
|
||||
| Shensenn |
I want to be on a balcony making smart-ass remarks muppet style. |
||||
| Meh |
>.>
Try hiding *partially* behind a corner, and dissapearing whenever they try to approach you. Just like the G-Man, from Half Life!
|
||||
| xyryn |
Bet that G-Man doesn't make smart remarks, muppet style. | ||||
| Meh |
Naw, but he can stop time. And teleport. And talks like he's uncomfortable with human speech. Because he is not human . He has also implied to have a few other powers.
His only talking part in HL2: Ep2: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vk8IdP-upKY ...CREEPY. |

I loved that scene. "Prepare for unforseen consequences." |
