sithlordblack posted:Hey guys, I just want to say hi and thank Matt for the great job he did with the event.It was alot of fun. Matt did a great job and took care of everyone there. AS for being one of the 40 that got picked,it wasnt a big deal. all it meant was that we had to be there till 12:10 am to get the game. Most of all were ready to go home long before that. Best Buy and Mary were great and the staff took care of everyone in costume. It reaaly was one of those cool events to be a part of and have new member come out and really experince the fun of costumeing and sharing the loveof starwars. Thats why I go in costume, not for the free stuff but for the experience with friends and other people in public that have never seen costumes, especially younger kids when there eyes light up when you show your lightsaber for trooper rifle. Also, thanks to the 501st for allow Rl and SFFF to be part of the event. Everyone there was great and it was so much fun. The only thing that sucked was that none of us got VIP to hang out with George. We all tried. BUt there is always next time.Thanks again Matt for the great job and if you need help with any event let me know,it doesnt matter if I get free stuff or not.

Matt and I had zero say over who LFL ultimately chose out of roughly 60 people who applied for 40 positions. Perhaps if only 25 501st members applied then more RL members would have been able to be official volunteers. Neither LFL or our club members/organizers knew just how many people would apply at the start. As for RL, nothing was an "excuse" to have people update their profile. I've been encouraging this all along as Base CO, I took your updated Jedi submission photos before I ever knew about the Force Unleashed event didn't I? I've been encouraging other members for months to update their profiles because you all have great costumes that deserve to be shown off and worn at events other than conventions Fact of the matter is, people tend to put off submitting their costumes until they have a reason to finally do it (ie, an event they want to be part of). The Rebel Legion has a club charter, I didn't write it but I have some obligation as base CO to try to stick to it for big events - and the charter essentially says that people need to have an RL approved for events we are requested to appear at. So, that's why I encourage people to update their profiles or apply ahead of time so it's easier for them to sign up for events when they come about. I know that's not everyone's cup of tea. They'd rather just wear what they want to conventions or do events that come through fan force and not the Rebel Legion. To each his own, I respect whatever people want to do or whatever they are comfortable with. Clubs like the 501st and Rebel Legion are not for everyone, but there are a lot of fun things that are offered to both groups so I've had fun being a member of both. And you know, people should just talk to Matt or I if they are feeling upset about something. Maybe they misunderstood something? Maybe if they were like Charles and just asked, they may have found that sure, it was no problem for Matt to include them on his list to Mary. People need to speak up, but I suggest a personal conversation rather than message boards.

Harlock415 posted:OK game, plenty to go through eventually, but it feels pretty linear. Annoyance is that even if you save your game before the boss, when you go back to it later, you start from the beginning of the level again. It's got a few glaring bugs such as your character being invisible for a few seconds after a life continue. Sounds cool except it's invisible to you and the bad guys are blasting and slashing you. And it's already froze on me in an early level.
Nebelwerfer posted:was that the same douchebag who was following around the 501st mocking them while they were marching? He had the rebel insignia drawn on his back.
