Regarding the disastrous progress of our Star Wars RPG characters
Mr. Yellow
We think that if anyone’s clones do not attack their Jedi it would be yours Mr. Silver, since you trained them
10:10 AM Mr. SilverThat'd be nice, not getting blasted by my own squadron
Yeah, was thinking you prolly have the best chance of not having your clones turn on you, since you actually trained yours
10:14 AM Mr. SilverGood boys...all of 'em
LOL
crack shots?
great pilots?
capable of killing their trainer?
10:15 AM Mr. SilverIf they aren't capable they'll catch hell from me
Excellent!
So…got a bounty hunter alternate character worked out yet? LOL
10:19 AM Mr. Silverheh
Well, it'd be nice if we put everything on practice mode all friendly-like, had a dogfight and they could tell Palpatine that they shot me down...but...
If you were all on my ship without the clones, then we would have to basically try to evade them and hyperspace away
But I do not see all three of you just hanging out on my ship
10:22 AM Mr. SilverNot without paying you rent, no
lol
10:30 AM Mr. Yellow
Should be interesting and I may not even be close to any of you at the time. Just depends on how Mr. Gray wants to set it up.
You could all be split up in different directions and if you survive you contact me to help get you into hiding or something
Who knows?
Yeah. If I survive, and find out all the Jedi were ambushed. I would probably look for someplace out of Republic space to go and regroup
11:07 AM Mr. SilverAnd your diplomat wants us to tell him where, just in case someone asks him where to find us to deliver a telegram, yes?
LOL
11:16 AM Mr. Silver"Yes Lord Vader? Jelly-of-the-Month Club? That's a nice gesture, sure I have an address for them. Just a sec."
I am sure Kai (our crime boss character) can find some places off the radar where you can keep a low profile
12:17 PM Mr. SilverJedi Master Jinto Rez...fastest pizza delivery driver in the quadrant
LOL
"Let’s see I have a large with everything here for a (checks receipt)… Emperor Palpatine? Oh merde!"
Game of Thrones
12:54 PM Mr. Yellow
Mr. Gray was correct; Game of Thrones is definitely good.
one character died already that i did not expect. I like that
12:58 PM Mr. SilverFunny... The only other review I got on Game of Thrones was from a website where people take the book cover and summarize the contents by shopping in a new title. (http://betterbooktitles.com/)
Took me aback after all the glowing reviews...it was titled:
"Like Shakespeare but Without the Good Writing"
I need to stop reading the plot of the novel online
I am going to ruin the show for myself LOL
2:17 PM Mr. SilverMrs. Silver is a spoiler goober
"I can't wait"
"Yes you can ... ... ... you already looked didn't you?"
"Wanna know what happens?"
"NO!"
God is a know-it-all?
8:07 AM Mr. Brown
we missed you yesterday Mr. Silver
Oh yes?
8:08 AM Mr. Brownwe had big discussions but it was only two sided
so it was kinda boring
(considers most of his conversations have been 2-sided)
Shame. Like what?
8:09 AM Mr. Brownit was mainly religion again
but we were looking that the whole all-knowing aspect of God
ah
God's a know-it-all
8:10 AM Mr. Browni just found a tick crawling up my shirt
God knew that 1st
8:10 AM Mr. Brownlooked like a brown dog tick
before it was engorged
God could tell you. Ask Him how many "hairs" are on it's carapace...go on...try Him.
But anyway
I'm more of the "God could look it up if it was necessary but it isn't" school
8:13 AM Mr. Brownyeah like He knows all the possibilities but still does not know what you are going to choose
cuz he chooses not to know
No
Like if He wanted to, He could sort out the possibilities, but there's no reason to
8:15 AM Mr. BrownHis way of letting us choose our own path but still trying to push us in the right direction when we need it ?
so God is lazy
8:19 AM Mr. Silverheh
God would rather watch, I think
Much as you sit to watch a movie
God might sit to watch Mr. Brown, but there's no particular need to "look up" Mr. Brown's info on his divine Wiki
("6 Billion people and nothing on...sigh")
I wouldn't sit to watch a movie if i had the choice of just instantly downloading the entire thing
8:25 AM Mr. SilverWell, the example requires that a movie is a movie. You watch it or collect it and keep the copy
Which is a good way of describing what i mean. God might have a copy of "Mr. Brown" on his rack but He doesn’t have to watch it unless he feels like it.
8:28 AM Mr. Silver
Not a complete example, of course, because I don't see the universe and "God" actually working that way, but it expresses the idea
what if Mr. Brown's life is a big turd and he's miserable 99% of the time?
then it would be in God's best interest to sim it, rather than force someone to experience it
8:35 AM Mr. SilverWould you go to a theater to have someone on the screen tell you what a movie was about?
8:37 AM Mr. Silver
"You came to see Aliens! Well, I've seen it, and I'm here to read you the script and tell you what it was like! So sit back, enjoy your popcorn and we'll be done in a couple hours!"
well the alternative isn't someone telling you about it
or God
8:38 AM Mr. SilverRight. Stays on the shelf
it's God letting the movie play out in full or just DLing the entire thing into his consciousness, Matrix style.
8:38 AM Mr. SilverHe can watch when he wants
8:39 AM Mr. Silver
remember...it's an analogy, not a perfect description
it's like keanu reeves taking kung fu lessons for 25 years or just DLing it into his brain/body
8:39 AM Mr. SilverYour arguments are leaving the analogy
in the analogy, God is just a guy with billions of years and billions of movies to watch
8:41 AM Mr. Silver
He must queue up the film and watch it if he wants to see it...no magic powers
so he's watching 6.5 billion movies simultaneously?
8:41 AM Mr. SilverNo
He's watching what He wants to at the time
so if he could, he'd know the results, but chooses to let them play out IRL instead
8:43 AM Mr. SilverI'm countering Universal Pan-Temporal Omniscience with the idea that God would know the past, observe the present, have a pretty good idea of the future, and only focus on what was interesting at the moment.
even if it meant forcing billions to suffer.. is what I’m saying
I’m saying god is letting people suffer cuz he's too lazy to just sim the whole thing
8:44 AM Mr. SilverIt is a SIM
but people REALLY suffer
8:44 AM Mr. SilverWe've discussed that
if i cut your hand off it actually hurts you
8:45 AM Mr. SilverDoesn't hurt my “player”
Might wreck his game though
8:48 AM Mr. Blue
i'm thinking that most lives past and present are pretty crappy. we might not see that. we live in a rich country at a stable time with lots of cushy technological advances... but most of the world lives in poverty/war/sickness/depression
8:47 AM Mr. Brown
there are a lot of times that something really bad is happening to somebody but they come out of it not hurt
how do you explain those ones
somebody was working that one
8:48 AM Mr. Blue
like what, Mr. Brown?
like you can have a building blow up around you and end up coming out with no problems
8:49 AM Mr. Bluewho did that happen to?
Saw a picture once from WWII. Person in a bombed out building, still in bed. Report said they slept through the whole collapse
9:00 AM Mr. Brownso then you ask “is that just lucky?”
yes
what else would it be besides chance?
9:02 AM Mr. SilverCheating...
i mean, there's lots of cases of airplane crashes with only 1 survivor
is that god?
9:04 AM Mr. Browni would say yes
not done with the game yet for that person
it's just chance
usually the single survivors of plane crashes are crew or children
flight attendants not finished with the game?
9:08 AM Mr. Brownto you their game might seem stupid
but that is just part of your game
lol
9:20 AM Mr. Blue(Pasted tale of four survivors of a Japanese plane crash)
not god, chance
Well, not God, no. Not as I see it
Though I come from a quirky POV.
Not sure how many other animists either of you know
9:12 AM Mr. Silver
Farewell to Shadowlands
"Farewell to Shadowlands" is chapter from CS Lewis's "The Last Battle"...a book to legitimately make me cry when I first read it as a kid and feel bad several times after.
Just after the final destruction and end of Narnia
Where Aslan explained why. after leaving Narnia, it looked like they were still in Narnia but a better version
It was because Narnia was merely a shadow of where they currently were...the world that had ended was not “real”.
But
Then He followed up by saying "This one isn't real either."
"Real one's over there...follow me."
The wink, of course, being that the book was just a shadow too
10:22 AM Mr. Bluei see
While that notion didn't really contribute to my current universe a lot, it does mesh nicely
10:42 AM Mr. Brown
nice customer name
Yasuhiko Yamadamust be German
this lady puts her nephew on the phone because he's "good with computers", but he's also functionally illiterate
11:05 AM Mr. SilverGood with a mouse and pictures
literally a buffoon

"chi" and "ussb"
11:08 AM Mr. Brownlol
ass
lol
keep giving him different ones that actually spell something
lol
i wonder how he will pronounce CPU
chpoo
spoo
heheh
Evolution Explained
so God said this is boring. Get rid of these dinosaurs. Ahh! Let's add this -- more fun.
11:27 AM Mr. SilverIt was a long time ago...all kids like dinosaurs.
200 million years ago His Parents started hassling Him.
"Son...when You were an infant, You were all about the germs...what kid isn't loaded with germs? Then You'd play with bugs and worms and got fascinated with fish...Mom and I understood. Then You started collecting frogs and amphibians...normal kid stuff...”
“Then dinosaurs...We were OK with that...”
“But really...150 million years? Aren't You a little old for that?"
“You need a proper pet or something...what about birds?...or some mammals? Something to take care of and teach You responsibilities."
"But I don't WANNA throw 'em out Dad!"
"Wellllll...keep a couple...jungles, swamps...but most of them go, Son. Your Mom and I have decided it's time."
(God throws tantrum, kicked asteroid hits Earth by mistake) "No!"
11:38 AM Mr. Silver
And then He moved onto action figures eventually
lol
"It's not a doll its an action figure"
Diagrams of Musicians
11:43 AM Mr. Blue
empirical data suggests the accuracy of Thin Lizzy's contention that the boys are indeed back in town.
Indeed
However they also contend that when they are cool, they are also red hot.
11:49 AM Mr. Brownto be cold yet hot. awesome.
they are sooooo hot they are cool that'd make a funny Venn Diagram
11:50 AM Mr. Silverheh
“Boys that are back.” “Boys that are cool.” meeting at “Boys that are red hot”
label the middle as "Thin Lizzy"
“Diagram of The Thin Lizzy Paradox”
12:02 PM Mr. Blueor how about a Steve Miller flow chart?
fly like an eagle ----> let your spirit carry you
-->till you are free
= Solution
2:39 PM Mr. Blue
How about a bar graph labeled "The Stakes" and "Ted Nugent" both being of equal proportion?
oh man that's gold
do you really think Ted never did drugs?
2:49 PM Mr. Bluewho said that
Ted
lol
Just like Gene from Kiss
They both say there drug of choice was WOMEN.
2:52 PM Mr. SilverThey took a lot of women...
2:53 PM Mr. Brown
White Buffalo
If Ted saw a real white buffalo he would shoot it skin it and eat it and make seat covers for his jeep
that's libelous, sir
2:57 PM Mr. BrownUnless he stays true to the Native American style of things he does
he may see it as The Great Spirit and let it go
The Pretty Good Spirit never gets any notice
2:22 PM Mr. Blue
Q: What night is alright for fighting? A) Saturday B) Saturday C) Saturday D) Saturday
Elton John's night
2:38 PM Mr. Bluewhat kinda 'fighting' is Elton John getting involved in anyway?
the kind that involves his wardrobe makers
2:39 PM Mr. Bluehehehe
2:45 PM Mr. Silvernever did listen to the lyrics on that song...perhaps he IS yelling at wardrobe about the number of rhinestones on his shoes...dunno
12:59 PM Mr. Blue
this story is straight up awesome
The Japanese like it
1:38 PM Mr. Blue
1:35 PM "Anonymous, Jim There is warm food available in the break room"
i sure hope it's borscht!
Oooo....haven't had borscht in ages
"Warm jello...warm icecream...warm orange juice..."
1:41 PM Mr. Blue"Grilled dilly bars"
