Along with everything I've said, if Sep sees logic in it, then the twilek can have it.

So what are people's plans, anyway? I know that David is going to continue seeking apprentices, and it's very likely that he will confront Karza on every opportunity he gets.

I think right now David's existence as the last Jedi is unknown by everyone except, now, Karza. Does anyone want him to do anything in particular, or for his existence to be revealed? Because one possible plan for that is this:

He's injured in his fight with Karza, and he flees and is forced to seek medical attention from a larger organization. They see his wounds and deduce that a lightsaber made them.

Oh, and just for readability:

You guys should really start a new paragraph at the beginning of each speaker's dialogue, and try to be clearer about who is saying what. Some of your posts are a bit difficult to read.

It looks, based on wookiepedia, like in the age right before the Light that the Jedi and he Mandalorians were actually allies.

I'll do it between me and another persons char but if it's me and NPCs I'll just write as it would be in a book.

Well, not allies. They worked together on occasion, your mainly referencing Jaina Solo being trained by Boba Fett I presume. That was mainly as Jaina was training to fight Jacen and Jacen had killed Fetts daughter.

In terms of Yuuzhan Vong War... everyone was allies except the cowards who made the Peace Brigade. It's a time where they can be friends but tend not to be, as many who follow the warriors code kinda see Jedi as cheating, and don't always get along with their moral code.

But as I've said about the Sith as well, y'all welcome on Mandalore. S'long as you pay for what you want or are willing to work for it.

Really? I've never seen a book, or a novel, rather, written like that.

Well if one character is speaking

BestStoryEver said "Hey Bob, c'mere."


the next char doesn't speak in the next Paragraph it typically goes.

BestStoryEver2 said "Hey Bob, c'mere.""Whatchu want phil?"


Obviously I'll do "Phill called out," and "He replied" but if it goes back and forth a lot in a prolonged conversation I'd cut that out obviously. and jus tgo

BestStoryEver3 said Phil called out, "Hey Bob! C'mere.""What'chu want Phil?" Bob replied. "Just C'mere.""Tell me what you want.""Just get your ass over here."


Y'see? Or that is the way I've always done it and I've never had any complaints.

Well I see that you're doing it that way, but if I turn to my bookshelf and open a book I won't see that. You said that's how you see it in books, I was just wondering what books you might mean. I usually see it like this

"Hey, Bob," Phil called out, "C'mere."
"Watchu want?" Bob replied.
"Just c'mere"
"Tell me what you want."
"Just get your ass over here!"

Like in your example, extended back and forths don't usually require you to reiterate who is speaking. Though inflection and character actions will sometimes be mentioned. This is how I've always written and seen dialogue written, and it's how I was taught was proper in school.

Unless I am missing a beat and am completely wrong, which is possible. That's the way I'll keep doing it. Taking a new line for everything just seems like hassle and a waste of space and to me is more confusing.

Fair enough, no big deal really. Was just pointing something out.

So I was thinking of making a pair of criminal siblings. A drug dealer and a freelance mercenary. But I'm not sure if there'd be much story usefulness to them.

Do you guys have long reaching plans for your characters and organizations?

Mandalorian Empire, though if someone comes and takes over Mandalore Deathwatch style shizzle. If that doesn't pan out... piracy.

I've never seen this in a book, ever. In fact the way Sep wrote out his example is exactly how I've seen it before. I'll nab a book example when im on my computer in a second. Also never have i been taught this way. Sorry, not putting you down

Man, I don't feel put down, my mind is just exploding. 'Cause I'm reading right now(like, between posting, you know) and I'm seeing it the way I put it.

Where are you all from? Maybe it's an American thing.

Shoulda guessed, EvilScottishGuy.

I dunno if we had another posted somewhere, but this seemed like a really good map. In fact, the grid locations given by the wiki all match up to it. Which is super helpful for determining where places are in relation to each other.

Also, on the map I see that Dathomir and Mandalore are probably about equidistant from Korriban, but one could take the Dragon Tail hyperspace route and come out right by Mandalore. So that is where David shall flee to.
