Yea, you just switched back because you read that the Vanish nerf was an unintended bug, and realized Commando is pretty gimp until 29 comes out. :lol:

I'm still giving the switch from Jeedeye to Spy a serious thought. Being a Jedi is too damn cliche anymore, its like being Imperial and a Stormtrooper. Well thats fun, but being a Jedi is too noobed these days, even I laugh at all the little jedi running around in their pajamas. It makes me want to cry. Bastards.

Szul, my post above was in no way an attack on you. I merely wanted to post my opinion on the Roleplaying Idea that was posted and how it really has no effect to those in the game who don't wish to participate. However, all of a sudden, I found myself wearing down my keyboard with my perspective on the whole SWG/players situation that should have been put on a different post altogether.

We can continue "that" discussion on a different thread, or we can both agree that I'm absent minded and can't stay on track with a single train of thought, and shouldn't have posted that here. :?

heh its all good. My sadness is that a good flame reply was wasted, it takes a while to get the creative juices flowing. :D

Bah dammit. Now I gotta apologize again? I was on a good roll, was feeling the burn.


lol you can't win. Cmon szul your married you should know that no matter what you do or say you will always lose.

So if one of them were to post that they were actually insulting me, even if only slightly, then it would all be back on, right?

I need some hope to cling onto here.

I forget that I am playing with mostlly teens in this PA, so let me rework this into an analogy that you can relate to:

You study your ass off for Final Exam. You don't play games, eat TV dinners in your room, miss all of your Season Finale's of favorite TV shows, don't go to the cool new release movies... for weeks.

You take your Final Exam and get an "A+", best in the class. You're hard work paid off, now you are looking at maybe getting into that college you really wanted to apply to. Feeling pretty good and happy, right?

But some of the other kids in your class had parties, played video games, went to movies and they all got C's, D's and F's and have to face going to Summer School. They're bitching and crying now, saying its not fair, the test was too hard and they didn't have the time to work for a better grade.

So their parents decide that they don't want their kids to go to Summer School, so the parents pool their money together and bribe the teacher to give the whole class an A+ grade, by offering to send that teacher on an expenses paid European Vacation. The teacher says, hey, money in my pocket, OK and gives everyone an A+ final grade.

So now everyone got the same reward you did, but you wasted a couple weeks of your life. Their parents just paid for it, and the teacher made out like a bandit.

Grasp the idea now?
