OOC Rocketjock Eatery (A Star Wars: Intervention OOC/OOG discussion thread)

My encouragement was aimed IC at Evalynne; I was not chasing for a post.

 

Oh, I didn't think you were chasing for a post; I was already thinking on my own that I hadn't posted in a while. That's my mistake. Sorry.

 

My wife is back from her short hospital stay so I will have my post in by early tomorrow afternoon.

So I do think Sith and I think way too much alike in some cases. He posted for Nick Skyland---which I was going to do tonight. The irony in that.

 

I was about to post asking if the kid was still with us when I saw Siths post. So there is that

I get to catch up on Star Wars Rebels. *Does happy dance*

 

*sighs before going back to reading Tarkin*

Some people have all the luck.

Amazon Instant Video. I had to get Amazon Prime for college last May...never found a use for it until today. $50 every 6 months for Amazon Prime and $2.99 an episode for Rebels. I don't have cable, so I'm glad Disney had this option available. You may want to look into it, Mitth.

 

Nope. Need to work and pad the coffers/bumpers. Taxes will soon be upon us.

I had a little bit of money hidden away for a little gift for myself. For less then $20 bucks for 8 episodes, I won't complain.

 

I think Star Wars Rebels started off kind of meh but I think even for a Disney Show, it's better than I expected it to be. I was curious as to how they would make a really dark time in Star Wars lore as a kids show but they did a decent job so far. I watch them on the Xfinity App on my phone and they have the next episode on a day before it actually airs.

 

That last post with Lasso and Taab. Loved it. Brilliant even. So many quotable lines too!!
Those are the priceless posts I live and breathe for!! Bravisimo! Oh, and the score by Hans Zimmer ( Am I not merciful/ Gladiator ), not only is it one of my favorite pieces, it was PERFECT for the scene! I'm going back to read it all again. Can't thank you enough for that.

 

Oooh!! Followed by an equally brilliant Taab post!! Too magnificent for words!! 2 for 2!!!!

 

For me on the phone, @Bardan_Jusik's embedding of the music in the post, meant I could have the music and read together.

Both great posts. Lasso has a sweeping conspiracy theory, fuelled by The Organisation (or is it?), while Taab is just, I'm getting my kid trained; dunno what the rest of you guys are on about.

 

Hey guys, hectic weekend, but I have Monday off. I'll be reading up and replying then.

 

http://www.colonialchrome.co.uk/Ships/Generic/G_SFS_Marauder.htm is no longer, at least right now. I was able to recover a few poorly zoomed in imagines off the internet, but nothing good. I have better pictures printed off---I just have to find them. If anyone has a idea of what happened, please let me know. As some of you know, Colonialchrome is the website that has the imagines for the Johnny Boy's layout.

 

Ugh. Well that is rather unfortunate.

 

Yea. Maybe Sith-I-5 can dig something up on it. Its a UK web address (at least best I can guess), so maybe he has better access to the British side of the internet then we do in America. Like I said, I have those photos printed off somewhere---I just need to find them, scan them in, and then re-post them here. If not, the poor imagines I printed off today, I can probably make something work.

 

I saved all there deck layouts to my hard-drive a while ago, no premonition, just liking to see what I write about when doing routes etc. Can put them up to Photobucket and PM them over if required.

Edit: Definitely a UK site, also definitely down. My copies PM'd to Bravo

 

Well done, Tim.

I noticed the images gone, earlier today. Didn't occur to me that the problem would be at ColonialChrome.

Last time I put pics on TFN that were on someone else's site (photos of a SW meetup), they somehow tracked me to the thread, and told me off for leaching their bandwidth. I always capture images I'm going to use now, and put them on my own photobucket.

I don't really know a process of finding out what happened to an individual's web site. S'pose I could Google it.

 

Could be they just decided not to renew the licence

 

I already Googled it. No results.

 

If you use Google Images on "Colonial Chrome", it is still possible to get images which you can then download onto your PC, but I cannot find any safe site (as decided by my protection software) with news on the place.

Would that TFN thread you go to, to argue about ship stats, know anything?

 

Not trying to sound like a conspiracy theorist here, but a few "Star Wars" websites have gone dark over the last year or so. Some have disappeared, others don't get updates anymore. I wonder if Disney is putting a tighter rein on things in terms of Licensing with the new movies, etc?

A former RPF Manager once told me years ago that LucasFilm and TFN always had a "understanding" but that understanding was more grace then anything else and could be pulled at any moment (case in point, if LucasFilm wanted to scream foul over "rights" to Star Wars, they could shut down anyone not willing to abide by their rules, like the 501st, Rebel Legion, etc.). That's actually why I enforce the copyright rule in both Intervention and now Echoes: despite the legal term "Free Use," that same RPF Manager (I believe it was the same one, it might of been another one) told me that legally speaking, if a member of Jedi Council Forms got sued by lets say 20th Century Fox for copyrighting material from the X-Men movies and posting it here on the boards, then technically TFN would be responsible as well. However, if the TFN enforces (case in point the Terms of Use of TFN) and the member was warned, then TFN is clear of any damages...I would assume. But its all a very thin line. "Free Use" only goes so far. A course, maybe all of this has changed now too with Disney piloting the ship. Maybe Bardan_Jusik or Penguinator or Ramza know the current status of Free Use and how that affects TFN in specific on the legal side of things in terms of copyright. All I know is that, as a GM, I cover my arse with the copyright rule in Echoes and hence, I hope, protect TFN.
