OK, BB 8 reached 200. There is now a new bar, a cool, sandstone place with a babbling brook running down the left side of the bar, and a marble barstand on the right. The tiny creek throws picturesque light shadows on the luminous walls, creating an overwhelming calming effect. The ocean waves lap the sands under the calm shade of the palm trees, and people casually stroll down the short tunnel, the brook at their right, into the peaceful bar. The tables are made of hand crafted glass accented by white gold. Exquisitely detailed paintings line the walls.

GR has his trading fleet run the Pollux - Plateau run, he makes about 2.5M per post.

GR sends WG2 (20 'vettes) after Ares, steals his Kestrel, and takes 5M.

Never mess with my trade routes

WG2 assigned to guard my convoy.

We should change this a bit, lets do it like they do over at BL. First, the first post has to be different. Here's an example:

OK, BB 8 reached 200. There is now a new bar, a cool, sandstone place with a babbling brrok running down the left side of the bar, and a marble barstand on the right. The tiny creek throws pituroesque light shadows on the luminous walls, creating an overwhelming calming effect. The ocean waves lap the sands under the calm shade of the palm trees, and people casually stroll down the short tunnel, the brook at their right, into the peacefull bar.

Notice how it sets the tone of everything, in this case, an bar with a brook inside, calming lights reflecting from the river onto the walls, and the ocean crashing outside.

Then, people showup like this:

Lyra's Aurora pulls up to her reserved docking pad, the only one with concrete. The sands swirl around as the propuulsion engines slow down to a halt, and she calmly walks in and orders a margirita.

Notice the heavy envolment on the ship. That was deliberate.

OK, hope that helps. If no-body wants to write a novel-like description like mine, I can do that for every bar. However, I need Mac's permission. Mac?

/me does not mourn the loss of his kestrel, for he has friends at Rebel High command.

In his Rebel cruiser, ares and 3 other cruisers launch hit and fade attacks, reducing the 20 vettes to 2 that flee from the battle.

Unfortunately for Ares, GR is best friends with Admiral David Fuchs of the Rebellion Special Space Forces BattleGroup X1. He is also Chairman of the Military Committee

Seizing control of the Rebel Cruisers, he destroyes Ares' ship.

Hacking into the computer on Ares' escape pod, Rak steals 25M and retires his trade ships.

Cash- 40M
--- --- ---
The X1 BattleGroup majestically flows onto the glossed marble landing pad. Followed soon after is the Insight, Rak's new Rebel Cruiser.

The X1 BattleGroup landed at the Boozerama Bar on Rigel is composed of the following:

25 Rebel Cruisers
40 Rebel Destroyers
50 Rebel Escort Carriers
100 Mantas

WG1 is located at Matar

15 Kestrels
10 Corvettes
20 Argosies

WG3 is located at Levo

50 Rapiers
80 Lightnings
200 Defenders

WG4 is located at Centuari

40 Rebel Destroyers
20 Escort Carriers
50 Corvettes

This is just like the little kid game,

I shot you!
No i have armour.
I have super bullts that go right through armour.
I have super armour that you cant shoot me through.
I have super-duper bullets that can go through ANYTHING.
But I have...

And we will just go back and forth and back and forth with larger and larger fleets with more and more technology? And by that logic, isn't this pointless and impossible to win?

Yes... that is why you should have quit attacking me after the first attack.

Because Lyra likes Rak, and Arookee does too, so she hops in her Aurora and beats the snot out of whatever has ben attacking Rak.

My fleet of 5000 cruisers, 1000 destroyers and 10000 mantas destroys the entire universe per use of thermonuclear weaponary.

Mac comes back in as customary bartender. First, ares1 ordered a Pepsi One. Due to the new, nicer environment attempting to take hold, Mac decides not to kill ares for ordering Roach Juice. he just dumps a large Coke over his head instead, and hands him a towel to clean up the floor with.

Mac looks very confused at Luke's order, and decides to give him a tzjin-anthony'ks (sp?) instead, figuring you can't go wrong with a jynann tonnyx. (Sound them out, tz is basically silent)

Lyra, if you hate it here just get lost and quit whining

I mean that in the nicest way possible!

Your friend,

Corey

Uh, that word? You spelled it wrong. Yeah, that one right there, next to the period. And you're missing an apostrophe in the word "its".

/me wakes up from sunday catnap.

"Eh? What's thet? The universe blew up?" She squints her eyes in the irredecence of the creek. After a minutes cotemplation, Lyra says, "Merry christmas to you too." And promptly falls back asleep.

Hahaha...

Luke looks at the tzjin anthony'ks oddly. He sips. He is pleased. He gives the bartender a fat tip and turns on the holo-vid.

Lyra wakes up at coreys remark.

"Me? Leave? Are you kidding? I wanna stay here with my old buddy, corey!"

He feels softened (?unaware?) by this gesture of kindness, and is totally bewildered when Lyra slaps him on the back, becaus he gets a large electric shock.
"Ooops! that's my Buzzer-8000. Guranteed to make anyone speechless for a week. Sorry, corey. You OK?"
Corey doesn't say anything.
"Corey! Speak to me!"
Lyra, unrealizing that he can't speak for a week, continues in this manner, hoping that setting him on fire will wake him up. It doesn't.

J/K. corey. But seriously, ii ain't leaving. I posted that thng as a joke to see if anybody like yu would say stuff like, "Get lost!" or, "Thank god HE'S out of our hair!" Well, they did. Hmmm... added to Shade, that 's another one taken off the buddy list today.

You're pleased with it? Odd... that's the Jynnan tonnyx from HHGTTG that kills cows at 100 paces. I think you're probably too unconscious/dead to tip me. :frown:
