All I can think of when I see the raptor.

The Interview sounded pretty stupid to begin with, so it's no big loss (In fact, I can say that the world benefited from it).Anyways, the whole cancellation thing was Sony covering their ass just in case someone did try something.
Sorta. The threat of danger was gonna keep people from bringing their kids to watch family christmas movies -- so if Sony decided to stick it to the man, it would've hurt basically every other studio with a christmas release. Instead of taking that bad press, Sony punted it to the theater chains and said 'Hey guys, it's up to you, [i]wink wink[i] but we are prepared to throw in the towel.' Since the theaters were gonna lose money if Interview played, their choice was predictable, which means Sony predicted it and went ahead anyway.
So if we're keeping score, Sony is covering for Disney, Universal, Paramount, and Weinstein's asses, while Cinemark, Regal, AMC, Carmike, and Cineplex cover Sony's ass, and the rest of us cover the cinemas' asses. Elaborate, right? Anyway I'm sure Sony gets some consideration from all those other jerks for stepping aside and letting Christmas Money happen.
The trackers have allegedly been traced to Kimland. There's actually a sizable portion of the tech-world that thinks that's a black flag.

Well this wasn't what I expected upon clicking this thread. Wouldn't call it "college in a nutshell" but still amusing.
Packs of liberal idiots ganging together over ignorance and spending way too much time and effort churning out paragraphs of argumentative bullshit that the professor never reads before flunking you

Don't sweat it, Valsil at least ain't very competent. Post added -- I mouthed off at Lu a little bit, then climbed a tree and fell out. Also there's more troops trickling in from their various landing/crash sites -- Segan and Stokes are totally at your dispoal.
Anyone able to walk me through the process of creating a new post on the google drive? I have editing rights, but I can't figure out how to create a new file.

Zhiss moved first, drawing fire and gaining distance. Valsil was next. He dashed laterally, into a thick patch of brush, and emerging -- almost haphazardly -- in the midst of a squad of Republic troopers. His saber found its way into his hand.
"Friendly, friendly!" one of them shouted.
"I heard her the first time," Valsil replied brusquely, nodding in the direction of Lu. She'd asked Zhiss for a report just before the ambush, and Valsil assumed she was in charge. He gave her the quick version. "We have one wounded in the trees. They're coming down. Do something." Without any further explanation he ignited one of his blades, and leapt up onto a branch.
Valsil clamored up the tree with a combination of nimble footwork and force-jumps. His lightsaber seemed to act like a laser magnet, and more than once he had to pause his ascent to ward off a heavy barrage. Fortunately the Republic forces on the ground were able to level the playing field. It was slow going, but the jedi kept his feet and swatted away the enemy shots methodically. He was nearing Leto's position, but as he got closer, so did the Mandolorians. He closed his eyes. There is a lane, he sensed. Move fast.
He didn't stop to think about it; once the thought occurred, he extinguished his lightsaber and sprang off his branch. He landed on a clear limb, and snapped the saber onto his belt. Overhead was a dense patch of leaves, hiding him from the mandolorians, and within reach, a vine, running to Leto's tree. Valsil grasped it with both hands and swung his feet up, locking his ankles. He pulled himself out along the vine, several meters above the forest floor, now littered with fallen Mandolorians. He was exposed only briefly as he scrambled up the vine, and Republic fire helped cover his vulnerability. Soon he was finding footing on Leto's tree, just a few branches beneath the padawan.
Their eyes met. Leto wasn't exactly familiar yet -- but masters were masters, and padawans were padawans. "You need to stay calm," Valsil said, as a bolt singed the bark near his head. Something exploded below them, shaking the whole tree. "The most important thing is to control your emo-" The branch under Valsil's feet burst in a shower of splinters, and Valsil flew backwards, arms flailing. He caught himself on another vine, then dropped the rest of the way down to the ground, grimacing. "Emotions," he finished quietly, stifling something dangerously close to an annoyed tone. "Hmmm."
"Watch your aim, stupa, that's one of ours." Segan never took his eye from his scope, but he knew Stokes' shooting when he saw it. He followed the Jedi down to the ground to make sure he survived the fall. Then he cursed again. "You have any idea who that is?" he asked.
"How would I know who that is?" she replied. "Firing." She let a burst loose high and right. The Mandolorian on the receiving end ducked into cover left, where Segan had a better angle. His first shot did the trick -- the second and third were just for emphasis "Hit."
"It's a boy," Segan said, mimicking a midwife. He raised his aim and traded shots with an enemy behind cover.
"Malkina?" She said the name with disdain. "The hell is he doing out here?" She spotted friendly forces moving across the clearing. "There!" She said, motioning with her whole hand. "That's.... What unit is that?"
"Hell if I know," Segan replied, slapping the release on his power pack after besting his second Mando. "No one is where they're supposed to be. Get to them, be useful, I'll cover you."
"On three." Stokes checked the firing lanes, and then ran towards the nearest friendly uniform.
"Friendly, friendly!" one of them shouted.

Working on a combat post but it's gonna take me a minute -- just in case anyone wants to get a head-start I think I'm gonna bring in a couple of the soldier NPCs from Val's sheet. You can make *wildly* liberal use of them however you see fit (or throw in a bunch more, or not, or whatever). No restrictions of any kind, they're here for you!

Jews, Irish, English and French-Canadians, with no actual idea of whom I'm related to that's famous because the reality is that when 1/3rd of Germany is related to Charlemagne, that shit gets meaningless after a certain point.
"I'm related to Ghengis Khan!"
'How do you know?'
"Because I'm a person."
Vilageidiotx said But it is important, despite how muddy these things are, to not go and white wash history so it feels more comfortable to us. Lee owned slaves - he was not blind to the idea that maybe slavery was evil, he just didn't agree that it was. This doesn't make him a monster we have to vilify, but we shouldn't try to exonerate him either, or work to create excuses for his behavior.
Exactly.
mdk said Lee was kind of a bastard, who did lots of other cool stuff and was otherwise a pretty remarkably awesome dude.
