RP Area 10000 post celebratory trivia quiz!

Welcome to the 10000 post celebratory Ush’s on-line RP quiz! This is maybe the silliest thing I have ever done. It is a load of trivia questions based on the first three episodes of my game. All of the answers can simply be looked up in the threads themselves, if you really want to be cheap about it… I would rather you co-operatively came together in this thread and tried to knock out as many answers as you can. No need to answer all at once!

A. Easy questions!
1. What was the name of Kuylen’s final padawan?
2. What is the name of the pirate chief on Jaglon Beta?
3. Where was Kuylen when he disappeared, presumed dead? What was his mission? (that second bit is a trick question- no-one has ever asked)
4. What was Kuylen’s main job at the Jedi Temple?
5. What distinctive piece of clothing does Kuylen wear, that I am not sure anyone quite envisions correctly…?
6. Which member of the Dark Siders has been with Kuylen the longest?
7. What event led to the Malastare Open Pod Race being open to being won by a relatively inexperienced (but force-guided) newcomer?
8. What was the name of the opportunistic bounty hunter who tried to blow up Mah on Malastare?
9. What more subtle method was Balek planning to use to kill Galder in the same race?
10. Why was there a dumped power core in the hangar of the orbital depot attacked by the Dark Siders in episode III, when the Jedi came to investigate?

B. Planet naming!
Name the homeworlds of:
1. Kuylen
2. Ascar
3. Balek

4. What obscure world has been twice used in character backgrounds by players, and so will feature at some future time?
5. Where did Ascar complete his training in the Force?

C. More tricky questions
1. How did Balek lose his arm?
2. Why were the Dark Siders so interested in a gold heist in Episode II?
3. Who employed Kuylen as a mercenary between his disappearance and the time he formed his group of Dark Siders?
4. What was the purpose of the Mirror Tests on Avalar?
5. The pirates from Jaglon Beta were taking great loss for little gain with their attacks on Damagran shipping in story one. Why, then, did they go on doing it?

D. The Improbable number of villains section
Dark Siders are very rare. But not in THIS game, where they seem to be everywhere! How many Dark Siders have been provided as bad guys in the game since its start? Not counting players who failed to become regulars.

E. Nastier questions
1. Recently, Persis is the man that has caused the most aggravation to both sides. But in story one, there was also a man who spent the entire game flicking from Light Side to Dark Side thread and annoying everyone in these threads. Who was this man, what was his job and who eventually killed him?
2. How were the Dark Siders able to get great wealth whilst extracting the ruins at Avalar? Where did this wealth end up?
3. Faylar’s ‘impenetrable’ palace in K’rra Chi on Damagran was, of course, penetrated. How many different ways that it was done so can you name?
4. For what reason were the Jedi expressly forbidden from aiding the pro-Republican faction on Damagran?
5. Where did Argentis appear BEFORE he turned up in episode 2?

F. The “Ush is a blatant plagiarist’ round
Myself and my brother take much… inspiration… from other sources. How many things in this game can you spot have been taken from other stories and mythologies, sci-fi or otherwise? I know Gundy knows a couple…

And finally…

G. The Film Links round
The connection to the main plot of Star Wars will become stronger as time goes by. But to this point, how many direct links and references to the Star Wars films have been in the game, and influenced events in it?

b4. What obscure world has been twice used in character backgrounds by players, and so will feature at some future time?
-baaaaaah, I know I know this..

4. What was the purpose of the Mirror Tests on Avalar?
-to see if players had any darkside-ness in them?

Well, if you know it, say it!

Your mirror test answer is right in a gaming sense. What was it for in a PLOT sense, though- as in the justification for its existence.

D 8

The mirror test is made for testing a true sith spirit. Light siders should fail it.

G. Well..there's Sidiou's part of the plot. Mentioning Maul, qui-gon, obi...and i think more...oh, the boonta open

A1. What's the name of Kuylen's final padawan?
Uhm...one of the 2 new comers?...zink or dak. If they're not padawans..then...me?

A3. Where was Kuylen when he disappeared, presumed dead? What was his mission?
i'm not really sure...making connections with the miramar?

A7. desire for the astrolabe.

A9. ...a disruptor..something. Wich was supposed to shut down all electrical activity in the pod.

i'll answer more later

Let' see what we have so far...

Kuylen's military uniform is a bit broad- I think people can imagine that. But I very often describe a particular piece of clothing he wears that I keep having to describe.

Takuan has only been with Kuylen a moderate length of time

And Kuylen has sure as hell never worked for Persis!

I'll need the Dark Siders all named.

95% there on the Mirror Test, Dexx. Who specifically was it designed for?

'Padawan' is a Jedi term. Obviously I would not use the term 'final' with simple learners as Kuylen may take more in future. But who was his final actual Padawan?

About the pod race- the question is not why Galder and Mah took part, but why they were able to win it.

Correct on the Balek question. He was going to use an electro-disruptor to wipe out the electornics on Galder's pod and cause a fatal crash.

Yup, Sidious/Palpatine's entry into the plot is the biggest insertion. The Boonta Eve Open was another reference that affected the plot- and shoul help you answer another question.

I can give clues on questions if needed...

Ahhh... close enough. It was actually for the Sith equivalent of younglings. You could not get to the Archive to learn how to be a Sith and become an apprentice until you could prove you were of a thoroughly nasty emotional disposition. Trouble is that you could not turn the damn things off, so you grown-ups had to go through them as well.

A5. He's wearing a pelisse

sorry about c3 I read it wrong I thought the question was who did kuylen hire

Pelisse is correct.

I am sure you can answer a few more than that...

I'll just answer as I go along, even if they've already been answered.

A1: Argentis, whom he then killed in a duel on Damagran when the Jedi tried to find Argentis and the Dark Jedi tried to kill Faylar.

A4: Kuylen worked in the archives, which is how he knows so much about Avalar and Demnos' Mausoleum.

A6: Chion (just a guess)

A9: An electro-disruptor rifle that would stop my engines and cause me to crash, making it look like an accident.

A10: The Dark Jedi were still trying to figure out how to get what they wanted from the loading droids, and the droids picked up the cores because we hadn't given them commands.

B1: Tasker's Crown

B4: Hoth; from the backgrounds of Galder and Lance.

C1: He had raped the sister of a Jedi Knight and the Jedi hunted him down. Balek lost his arm and the Jedi is stuck in the Temple.

C2: Shareth the Hutt was our ticket off of Damagran, and we needed to pay her.

C3: Shareth the Hutt?

C4: To see if the person taking the test was 'dark' enough to have access to the rest of the school. It hindered the Jedi while the Dark Jedi grabbed the maps and tablets, though Yerssot go through and fell to the Dark-side.

E1: I'm guessing Faylar, and he was a leader of the pirates. Chion stabbed him.

E2: The wealth came from the gold under the ice of Avalar. It ended up at Faylar's place, which was then stolen by the Dark-Siders and given to Shareth.

E3: I don't remember all of them, but I know a few. Galder got in disguised as one of Shareth's men and was delivering the battle droid activation switch. Quam snuck in through the ventilation shaft. Yerssot was taken in with Krisha.

G1: Kuylen heard rumors about a Sith Lord (Maul) on Tatooine and left to investigate. Sidious wants Kuylen and co. out of the picture, so he uses his power as Supreme Chancellor to have the Jedi continue to hunt down Kuylen, saying he could be a Sith Apprentice to Maul. And Gundy thought a lot about Qui-Gon Jinn last game. 😄

Whoa, someone has been working hard!

Argentis is correct, as is Kuylen working in the Archives.

It is indeed Chion who has been with Kuylen the longest.

Yup, it was simple player confusion that led to the power core being there. I can only assume the Force was with the Dark Siders thopugh, because that served to confuse the Light Siders more!

Ahh, Tasker's Crown is the trick answer... that is the constellation that Kuylen's people are from. He is from the chief world of that constellation; you need to name the planet.

Hoth is indeed the twice-mentioned world.

That is also true about Balek. It left him with a hate for all sabre-wielders.

Yes, the Dark Siders needed to pay off Shareth, and yes, Shareth was Kuylen's employer.

But no, not Faylar. Faylar was not a pirate, he was a Damagran politician, and despite being mentioned all the way through episode one he did not turn up until the second. He was also not in the Dark Side thread very long- merely briefly, before he died.

The gold did indeed come from Avalar- though for full marks, you need to explain why it was there. Hlaf of the wealth did indeed end up with Shareth, but the other half is somewhere else and is being used to fund something. Any ideas?

As for the Palace... ok, yes, Galder was posing as an emissary of Shareth, and yerssot was driven in by Krisha who was working for Faylar. Quam actually went in through the garbage chutes. There are at least two others ways that the place was broken into.

Doing pretty well on the game to film links; I will list all of those soon.

Nice going, Rex!

Thanks Ush. Those are just the ones I know from memory. 😄

A2: Wild guess that it was Pelloran.

A3: He was headed for Hutt space, and his assignment is unknown.

D1: I count about 10.

A5: A pelisse.

A8: The first name was Vil.

B5: Sirckara

E1: I'll guess Hades.

Correct with Pelloran, and Kuylen's mission to Hutt space.

I need the seperate Dark Siders named.

First name WAS Vil, that is half of it...

Sirckara is also correct.

CLOSE with 'Hades'...

Hade. 😄

Hade indeed. And the other two questions about him?
