Are you really arguing on a STAR WARS THREAD?

Seriously, people, do you have nothing else to talk about?

Talk about Lightsaber colors, anything, just don't argue. Please.

Also the poll can't be edited anymore, so....

I've taken so many "what lightsaber color would you have" quizzes and most of them say that I'd have green. Green is a good color to have, but the downside is that it is one of the common colors such as blue or red. It is impossible to my knowledge, to devise a perfect quiz with regards to this, all of it is unscientific but it does give a good estimate- the more questions the better.

Taking multiple quizzes, I'm relatively certain that green is my color.

Except you were.

How exactly is providing evidence proving your claims wrong a "tantrum?"

if you're referring to me pointing out your limited cognitive capacity, you need to understand that I'm trying to help prevent you from making missteps in an arena you clearly aren't ready for whether that be because of a lack of knowledge on your part or an undeveloped ability to reason. I'm not shaming you for these things, but you need to accept your own limitations lest you continue to embarrass yourself.

1. I said that because I did. What's your point? How exactly was I unable to follow along with TCW in your opinion?

2A. No, I mean with what actually happened. I know you've had trouble discerning between reality and your own delusions in the past though so I'll forgive you for that.

2B. I doubt much of what you do surprises yourself anymore.

3. Sidious was on the second Death Star being he was maintaining the cohesion of the Imperial military guarding the station.

"Not at all, Master C'baoth," Thrawn told him, his voice perfectly calm again. "My analogy with combat borg implants was a carefully considered one. The Emperor's fatal error was in seeking to control the entire Imperial Fleet personally, as completely and constantly as possible. That, over the long run, is what did the damage. My wish is merely to have you enhance the coordination between ships and task forces - and then only at critical times and in carefully selected combat situations." - Heir to the Empire.

"With the Emperor dead, the central, powerful evil that had been the cohesive force of the Empire was gone. With the Dark Side diffused and undirected, the Imperials were left with nothing but confusion, desperation, and damp fear. The sudden loss of coordination and fighting spirit allowed Han Solo, Princess Leia and the Rebel Commandos to disable the shield generator." -Heir to the Empire sourcebook.

He revealed his Darkside knowledge to Anakin so as to Force him into a position where he had to choose between his fragile loyalty to the Order and the life of his pregnant wife.

How is gaining emergency powers via political manipulation something that poses a risk to his person?

4. What you fail to understand is that I never claimed Maul or his brother posed a threat to Sidious. I stated that it was an unnecessary and foolish risk to personally fly to Mandalore in order to deal with them.

You're welcome NHA.

And this time it's been saved to a factbook and, as a result, can and will be reposted as many times as is necessary for you to get the point. Whether you attempt to involve mods to remove your shame, or not.

Do you guys in this thread think I should ask for a merge? Like the people have said in my thread, a thread with no poll-making makes things a lot less interesting in a community-based environment. It would effectively preserve both threads and make things a whole lot easier than the "natural death" that's taking forever to resolve.
