Dan Wallace considering coming to KMC:

During my email with my Dan, he said this: What material is being retconned? If it's a reference in Golden Age of the Sith to Marka Ragnos being the most powerful, that's not a contradiction. It just means he was the most powerful of that era.

If there's a message board or something where this conversation is taking place, let me know and I'd be happy to drop by.

He also mentioned that, in the Guide to characters, his statement over the Sith Empire being 25,000 years old was later retconned by LFL and the Hundred Year Darkness began in 7100 BBY

Would anyone object to him being invited?

Is he really coming? How will we know whether it is him? What's his e-mail.

I'll check with him first, he said he's considering it. You can contact him through his blog at SW.com

I feel some major pwnage coming on here.

This'll be interesting.

I will make Mr. Wallace see my way 🙄

The author of NEC has the time to trade emails with you and consider coming to KMC? Or is this going to be a carefully constructed sock/best friend's account impersonating him? I don't trust this idea at all. I'm sure if Mister Dan Wallace wants to address canon issues, he can post it somewhere official, like SW.com. I still find it ridiculous that he has traded more than three emails with you in the past day and wants to now come to KMC. And considering how underhanded you've been in the past, I suspect this is another ploy by you to present Sidious as "teh uber".

You know, other people on this site have emailed him and'd be more than happy to back me up, I'm certain. I really doubt he's working every second of the day, either. He's an extremely nice guy and takes time to answer most of the mail he gets.

And considering he doesn't have any projects on his plate right now...seriously, Janus, your skepticism is just reaching incredible boundaries. If you won't believe it's him anyways, email him through his blog, post on TFN, check with him on SW.com. Seriously, do you thinkI came back out of the blue, scanned this quote, found the quotes and links I did, convinced someone to fake email responses and then post a link to said email responses and am now preparing a Dan Wallace impersonator or taking nhis identity to come to this site? That'd get a nailing from a mod in a moment and I'm pretty sure it's illegal.

If you're asking whether or not I trust you, I'd say no. You've been found to flat out lie when it suits your purpose anyways. The default position of receiving an unsubstantiated claim is skepticism. You come out of the blue, power spam every thread with "Sidious" or "Ragnos" in it, and based on one sentence from reference material proclaim Sidious the greatest thing since sliced bread. Yet I pointed out to you that Veitch and Anderson both signed off on TOTJ, and after DE, so that makes that claim irrelevant. Golden Age of the Sith Empire comes along and suddenly EU has even stronger Sith Lords. They're even stronger in context, as we've argued successfully before- they had more knowledge, more expertise, more raw force power and so on. You've gone with every single hyperbolic statement to support yourself, like when you claimed that Sidious knew every fighting style known and thousands of years of lore (Which is IMPOSSIBLE unless he were thousands of years old- he's not). Seriously... And again, Dan's not in a position to make that decision. He is not the author of DE or TOTJ- he's written a compilation. Nothing more. He cannot create canon, only parrot it.

Now, you are the one who poisoned the well for yourself last time you were here. Even now, people attack you on sight because of how you conducted yourself last time, with underhanded tactics and flat out lies in many cases. Suddenly you come back with friends and emails and the words of Dan "OMfg I maed teh compilashun" Wallace and it's binding? No. You need to PROVE that that's a real email, then PROVE that Dan Wallace suddenly has full rights and authority over the creator of the characters. Hell, at least you could do is get something from KJA himself- I'd at least accept that.

Oh, you're taking IKC's word on the issue when I admitted I was mistaken on the issues. Would you say your side flat out lied when I asked for that 'God among Gods' quote.

And no, you haven't succesfully argued it before, Janus. You gave your opinion and interpretation. Veitch wasn't involved with Golden Age of the Sith. I've provided quotes from the damn SW material showing he DID learn said abilities and techniques and I don't see you complaining shooting lightning from your fingers or raising star ships with your mind is impossible, this is SW and the impossible happens every day.

And for the last damn time: Styles posted the email and a link to it. AND I PUT A LINK TO THE GODDAMN OFFICIAL SITE SAYING DIRECTLY the NEC was creating new canon and when pressed for information, you've failed completely to show a link that SBKs and compilations can't create canon when I've shown you everything proving they are on the same levels as books and comics.

And you know something, I'll be glad to find a way to contact KJA. If I get that email though, what're my assurances, even if I scan and post it you'll still try to tear it down like with this? This hasn't created canon, it clarified canon and went against your opinion so it's suddenly wrong. Want me to provide that link about C-canona nd to the SW site again? Hell, LFL had him change that 25,000 years to 7 thou thing. What part of 'Any author can retcon something with the backing of LFL only, creations do not belong to the authors." do you refuse to accept? Venificus told you that in another thread

Just emailed Mr. Anderson.

Hey lightsnake does pwned61 still go on these forums.

One button, Lightsnake:

Prt Scrn/Sys Rq

That'll take a screenshot of the entire monitor screen and you can paste it in a simple program such as paint, save it, post it on Photobucket or Imageshack and throw IMG tags on it and show us.

It's that simple! Then you can prove yourself!

Got my response. Scan coming up soon. I'll make a new thread or post it here?

here's fine. What'd he say?

Interesting eh?

Aha, so looks like I'll be waiting to see what Anderson says. Still, keep in mind though, if it's only his opinion, it's still in the source

That's not really the point. The ball is in Anderson's court. I applaud Dan being honest in his email, and specifically getting at the source of the discrepancy here- yes, his opinion may be that Sidious is the better Sith Lord, and that's well and good, but for our purposes his opinion's not really gonna do it. I'd like to see Anderson make this final.

Alright, well, sent him the email...I'll get SOME official word on this eventually
