Oky Posted August 24, 2008 Posted August 24, 2008 (edited) So Annix is with the CIS as an experiment, and they are moving to Hoth. Actually, he is more like bait for the separatists to capture us. They think we know too much and they expect us to run into their trap trying to rescue Annix. As if we were that stupid! Anyway, I'm OK with your new body, Thok. Maybe we all should start wearing more Republic clothes/armor now. I would love to have Obi Wan's new torso, but I doubt that everyone got the RGS or bought the Obi key chain and removed the chain like I did. Besides, that's a Jedi general's torso, and I'm neither a jedi nor a general. I would also love to have a Boba Fett torso, but even with all the Slave 1s, Cloud Cities, and magnet sets that were released, I think that one is too rare as well. So, I'll still think about what I will wear in the next chapter. About Skipper 24: Is he even still planning on playing? Since he posted the background story to his character, we haven't heard anything from him. However, I agree that cody's torso is perfect for him. An alternative would be the star corps trooper torso. I'm using Commander Fox's Torso, with white legs and black hips. The head, hat, and weapons are all the same. If you don't have that torso, a shocktrooper's is fine. I have that one too, so I am technically fine with it, and another alternative for those who are so unfortunate not to have the HSD set could be a normal clone torso with (dark) red arms. But I fear it wouldn't make a lot of sense for you to have such a torso since the color and the symbol on the chest are specific to the Coruscant guard. But that's just the SW geek in me complaining. It's an awesome torso, so heck, just go for it! I hope that the next chapter will have more "illustrations". Maybe we should introduce a rule that says that if you post more than five times in a row without pictures, your character gets killed off. Just an idea. Oh, and do you want me to write an overview of Chapter 2 again? Chapter 3 ON! Edited August 25, 2008 by Oky Wan Kenobi

Chapter 3 ON! 1: Nah, just let everyone wear what they want, I just thought that we should change it so we don't freeze to death. 2: I'll PM him if doesn't respond soon. 3: I chose it because white would be camouflage on Hoth, and I liked the dark red. The symbol doesn't matter much. Nerd... (Just kidding). 4: There already is a rule of at least one MOC per chapter, but it might become more strict if it isn't followed. 5. If anyone needs it, or if you want to. I enjoy them, but they aren't necessary.
Oky Posted August 25, 2008 Posted August 25, 2008 4: There already is a rule of at least one MOC per chapter, but it might become more strict if it isn't followed. In that case, some players like Thok should already be disqualified. No offense, I'm just saying. And yes, I want to make an overview. I'll post it soon and update my sig to feature an index of the chapters. I'll also work on a Chapter 3 pic.

Wouwie Posted August 25, 2008 Posted August 25, 2008 Well, since you're moving to Hoth, maybe I can help you, since I already am there
Oky Posted August 25, 2008 Posted August 25, 2008 Well, since you're moving to Hoth, maybe I can help you, since I already am there I sure hope so! You are the only reason why we are moving the whole thing to Hoth! Btw, whatever happened to Death Star aka. William Jones? He hasn't posted anything since his last two posts in this game. Is he even still visiting this site? Perhaps we should contact him, and if he doesn't answer, take him out of the game.

Adam Posted August 25, 2008 Posted August 25, 2008 Sweet ending! So Annix is with the CIS as an experiment, and they are moving to Hoth. I suppose it will be a lot easier to make MOCs for this now, since I have way more white pieces than tan. So now Chapter two is done. That leaves six days for newcomers to join. Again, deadline for joining in is AUGUST 30th Also, most of the current members might want to change their outfits a bit for the cold weather ahead. I'm in the process of deciding mine. Oh, and you can type everything in black for now, until the chapter starts. My I join? I've been interested in this for quite some time. Sorry if I'm posting in the wrong place.
JimBee Posted August 26, 2008 Author Posted August 26, 2008 My I join? I've been interested in this for quite some time. Sorry if I'm posting in the wrong place. Yes, of course! Please have a look at the rules (if you haven't already), and then submit your character with some background, a picture, and general information. Also, find some way to get directly involved with the rest of the players in the story. You can read the past chapter, but you might want to wait for Oky Wan Kenobi's review of the whole chapter, as he's volunteered to do so.

Here he is: Meet Adam A captured prisoner of the CIS, Adam is being taken to Hoth in the same unit as Annix's experiment. He claims to be working for the republic, but any personal question is answered with, "Classified" and the like. He is a very shady character indeed, and it is noticable that he is experienced in commando operations: He is aware of some secret CIS project, but doesn't reveal any more than the basics. Some are unsure of his loyalty to the Republic, and think he is a CIS spy. However, Adam denies such claims. He is quick on his feet and intelligent, though he has little to no interest in polotics and is rather reckless. Adam seems....... skeptical of the others at points, and the Republic army as well. There you are! (It occurs to me that not everyone has my Alpha Team suit. Because of this, I'll be making many outfit changes throughout the game, and those without the outfit can use plain black pants and a similarly designed torso. In fact, if you have the red Alpha Team torso and not the orange one, by all means, use that. I've already got a MOC made!) Edit: Can someone please match the player names with the user names?

I'll see what I can do for the torso, but I don't have that head, and I'm using that black helmet for Thok, do you have any alternatives? See the first post for the username/ player name list, and I'll add you.

The black helmet is more for situations of warmer planets. EDIT: You know what (not that this has anything to do with the above statement), I was wondering if maybe we should all reveal our history leading up to our meeting in Chapter 1 - how my dwindling (and now defunct) contingent of clones got to the planet where the story began, etc. Edited August 26, 2008 by Lt.

See the first post for the username/ player name list, and I'll add you. Do you have the Mothership set (Mars Mission)? The face comes in that. Whenever you have me, you can just use a plain, black torso (or one of those black storm trooper torsos) and use Mack's head. If Mack and I are in the same shot, just take a picture of my back. I'll make the outfit change soon, don't worry. You could request a custom decal for me, too. Edited August 26, 2008 by Adam
Oky Posted August 26, 2008 Posted August 26, 2008 Hi guys. I have bad news. Since yesterday, I am now in my Dark Ages. Because I am doing bad at school, I have decided to rid myself from all distractions, which includes locking away my lego for a while. I will still visit EB every once in a while for recreation, and I would still post small entries for the game, but I wont be able to post any pics. If that's a problem, it might be best to take me out of the game for now, but I would prefer it if you would just drag me along or let me get captured for now. Just don't kill me off please. Then I could still post once in a while and get back into the action once I fixed my educational and social life. I'm sorry, but it's necessary. This also means that I probably won't be able to create a group picture. I'll still write an overview, though. I'll do it tomorrow when I find some time. See ya later. Dark Ages OFF!

I'm really sorry to hear that Oky Wan... I'm glad you can still make the overview, and I will do the group pic once every one has decided there's. Before you leave for now, could you please decide an outfit for your character? Then we can arrange you to be temporarily removed from the game.

So is it that bad that I can't add pics to my posts? If so, you'll have to do what you have to do and remove me. As for my outfit: I want to have a Jet Trooper outfit. Jet Troopers rule! That means a clone torso (preferably with green markings) with green arms and black hands. Under that, the usual white legs with black hips. And when we are outside and/or on a mission or something, I'll be wearing a Phase 1 helmet (preferably with an antenna on the right side). Also, since I'm a Jet Trooper, I need some kind of compact Jetpack. This could be either one of those neck pieces that allow a fig to have a stud on the back (in grey) with binoculars on it (preferably dark bley) or one of the old Space air tanks in white, green, grey, black, or (if it has to) blue. or you could try coming up with something else brick-built. Just try to keep it under 2 studs; it's supposed to be compact. Btw, did Skipper24 or Death Star contact you? Are they still playing? Overview will come soon. Edited August 27, 2008 by Oky Wan Kenobi

You can still play, but it may be difficult, we'll see. I can make your jet trooper outfit and jet pack. And to everyone: Not everyone has to have clone armor! Yes, you can have it, but you might want to choose something a little different. And no, they did not contact me yet. I know Skipper is here, I'll PM him, but I haven't seen DS at all...
Oky Posted August 27, 2008 Posted August 27, 2008 (edited) The Star Wars Comic Game: Chapter 2 - An Overview After crashing on Utapau, Butcher, Annix, and Thok and his troops continued to pursue the drug lord Kaeder on foot in the shadows of the enourmous sinkhole cities. Finally, they were able to locate him and overhear him talking to a bounty hunter. It turns out that the drugs that he took by force back on Coruscant were meant to be an essential part of the separatists' time machine, the secret weapon they were working on. A young citizen called William Jones overheard this conversation as well, but soon got into trouble with Republic forces. Trying to find out more, they followed the two criminals into a building. Unfortunately, they got caught and put into different cells, but they were able to send out an SOS before that. Meanwhile, MacK and Oky Wan were on their way to Utapau in order to go undercover and find Kaeder and help their Republic friends, using a freighter that looked suspiciously much like the one MacK blew up a little while ago. They were able to land on the planet without problems, but right afterwards, they got captured and sold to Doc Russo, a pit fighting slave driver, by a Pau'an traitor called Parrah Dox. MacK and Oky Wan woke up in a cell together with three other slaves. One of them who introduced himself as Xela approached them and offered his help in exchange for freedom, so they sat together and devised an escape plan. At the same time in a different part of the city, Garviel Loken, a Republic spy, had picked up the signal of a Republic-loyal ship having entered the atmosphere that MacK's freighter had sent out and was on his way to greet them. The next morning, MacK and Oky Wan were confronted by Draze, one of the two drug dealers who had provided MacK and Oky Wan with information about the separatists' plan. It was then revealed that it was him who sold them out. While Draze told them that he would be watching the pit fight they were about to be forced to fight, MacK was able to "borrow" Draze's blaster. Then, they were led to the pit arena where they met Loken who had been captured during his attempt to find them. The three were thrown into the pit and had to defend themselves against a sharakan, a shark man. Using the stolen blaster, MacK was able to make the beast attack Draze in the audience, which cued Xela to break through the ground with his pick, allowing the four of them to escape in between all the chaos. They walked through the crystal mines that Xela had been forced to work in until now. Oky Wan suspected that these were part of the time machine as well and took one with him. After fighting off some super battle droids at the end of the tunnel, they left on a speeder loaded with explosives and headed for Garviel's secret hideout. There, they stocked up on weapons and split up. While MacK and Oky Wan left to free Jim and the others, Garviel led the other former slaves on a mission to destroy a CIS core ship in order to create a distraction so that they could escape. MacK and Oky Wan were able to free Jim and Thok and even found out that General Grievous is the mind behind the time travel project, but they were too late to save Annix who was taken captive by another bounty hunter. It's obvious that Grievous wants to use him as bait to capture the others who know too much in his opinion, and maybe even use him as a lab rat to test the time machine too. They all returned to MacK's freighter where they were surprised not to find Garviel and the others and started worrying. Jim and Oky Wan left to check on them. Meanwhile, aboard the core ship, Garviel and his team were just finished setting up the explosives when they were attacked by battle droids. During this fight, Zues and Mendis, the two other former slaves, lost their lives. Afterwards, Garviel met a force-strong woman named Beqin who he believed to have defeated on a mission some years ago. As it turns out, she survived somehow and is now yet another pawn of Count Dooku, but her intentions are still unclear. She was just about to eliminate Garviel and Xela, when Xela set off the charges in a selfless act to allow his new friends to flee. Garviel got out just in time, survived, and got picked up by Oky Wan and Jim. Shortly thereafter, MacK and Thok brought the freighter around and they all left the planet, following the core ship which had been able to take off despite the damage Xela had caused and was now heading for the ice planet Hoth. It was Hoth where Grievous ordered his minions to move the time machine to, so it might be on that very core ship. It's a good thing too, seeing as the poor Easy 501 is still struggling against the CIS forces attacking his outpost, even though he is already receiving help from a clone commander called Rex. Whew! That was a long chapter! Btw, I had an idea of how we could acquire our new outfits and meet some of the new characters! I thought, maybe after we come out of hyperspace, we will find Commander Rex' Republic assault ship or attack cruiser hovering over Hoth and we board it before we get to the planet to get professional medical help for Garviel. There, we could be offered the new weapons and outfits. What do you think? Again, I'd like to point out at this time that according to wouwie13, this Commander Rex has nothing to do with Captain Rex from Star Wars: The Clone Wars! Sig updated!

There, we could be offered the new weapons and outfits. What do you think? Personally i don't like that idea, if the Republic is already there then the CIS wouldn't bother building a time machine there. I think that Easy 101st's battalion is having a "last stand," CIS have jammed the communications, which leaves them unable to contact the republic and Commander Rex is a commander of a squad or something, in Easy's battalion who got separated, but they've managed to get squads communication back up. For the first few posts in the ship(s), before we land. my character has the apprentices battle damaged torso and legs, to show he's wounded. when he reaches the planet hoth a clone wars pilot body (with the life support device) if my idea is used or a hoth han/hoth trooper torso for the others. If you don't have any of them, a normal Clone trooper torso will do (any mark)

If you don't have any of them, a normal Clone trooper torso will do (any mark) I agree, simonjedi, this is what it is: wouwie and his small army are on Hoth to search for suspected enemy activity, and they find some: The CIS and their extra base for the time machine. The CIS can't afford to lose this base and have the Repurmy come storming in, so they attack, and wouwie only has a few squads left, and he has called for emergency back-up, which MacKs ship picked up. The time machine and the rest of the army for this project (as we discovered), is moving to Hoth. Their Techno Union ship is heavily damaged, but not completely destroyed. There's no time to call for backup, so we (the whole group), have to help wouwie and his remaining troops to destroy the base and the core ship.
Oky Posted August 27, 2008 Posted August 27, 2008 Actually, seeing as wouwie liked my idea, it must make sense what I suggested. MacK and I picked up Easy 501's distress call shortly before we landed on Utapau and decided to relay it back to Coruscant, so couldn't Rex be the answer to that call? But if you guys don't want to do it that way, it's totally fine by me. We can just have found our outfits somewhere on board the freighter.

By the way, I'm not putting too much emphasis on where we got our outfits. We can make up anything for that, like having a personal wardrobe on board. Edited August 27, 2008 by JimButcher
Lt. Col. Thok Posted August 27, 2008 Posted August 27, 2008 Perhaps, on our way to Hoth, we can stop at a Venator-class destroyer, alert the army, grab our clothes, a gunship, and head down to the planet?

That would defeat the purpose of us going down there in the first place. Remember- there is no time to alert the army, wouwie's troops are about to die, and the machine could be complete at any time soon. Besides, there probably wouldn't be a RSD way out there.
