We're also doing a favor to the rest of the galaxy! See, we're not totally evil, just misunderstood. Sometimes. Other times, we just like to kill stuff...
Hmmm. That's a LOT of slaughter we need to cause, then...
I'm actually in the exact same situation as you are now, JR. I have never played Hosted games before, but I believe it will be fun, and pretty interesting.
Personally? I just simply don't like the style of Unhosted games. That and as explained above, I'm used to a certain level of quality and it's one I'm simply not going to find there.
Then I look forward to it. Heres hoping. Though I really wanted to be an Imperial. Another time then.. I'm in for the experiance and to see if a Jedi can turn to the Dark side in the Hosted Ush Play? What are the usual ways of Ush-Playing? We write what happens to the characters based on our decisions during the game or do we decide on a certain path and let Ush hand down our destiny?

Well, if you don't like being a Jedi much, why don't you join REX's hosted game? Bounty Hunters, Mercenaries, Primitive Warriors, Diplomats, etc. You have a lot of more options to choose from.
Ush did run an OT, Imps vs. Rebs game last, but the next one will most likely not be for several years.
It's theoretically possible for a Jedi to turn, but it would have to be related to the plot, I think (and I think that's a major plot point for the Jedi this episode), and thus it's unlikely for a character you make to turn this episode.
It's hard to explain how we play, and much easier to just read the old games and see it. But basically, Ush runs the plot and NPCs, and we as players react to our situations. This may be simple role playing, or you may need to roll off stats to achieve a goal. When fighting occurs, we use a specialized system for that. It's really rather simple, but at the same time you'll need to use your head.

Yeah, there's a big possibility that a couple of the current Jedi could fall, but that's a BIG deal - it's not a concept we take lightly at all, and once it happens, it's done, there's no going back. It's definitely something you do not want happening.

Yes indeed, if you are looking for how to play, or how things work there are all the old games floating around in the dredges of the forum, Go check the out before you play please.
It will make things much easier if you know what happens and how to do it before you jump in.
Yeeeah, I don't actually know about that yet. I'll have to see how things port over from the old system from the new before I decide that, I think. But it is a possibility; it's a pain in the ass trying to run two different systems for the same exact style of game without the players exploding.
((Breathing heavily. "I lost Artoo... Awww maaan!" Turns to Rex and the guys. "Exploding? What do you mean?" Stutters, trys to catch my breath. "Gah! Hah! Heh! Ehk! Phew! Right. So we don't role play like this?" Smiles and stops role playing.))
So do we make our own characters? Must be a headache for you guys. Anyway. I am terrible with Bios. Will one of you guys help me?
