But standing above the rest is the great one, the paragon of perfection itself: Bandon. He doesn't truly belong in the ranks of the greatest Sith, as he transcends all such trivial ideologies. He exists on a plane beyond our own. His Hyper Force Push will reduce any meandering Sith officer and his console to atoms. His mustache and goatee can only be described as "wicked awesome!" It's known that he only allowed Revan to "defeat" him out of respect for Revan's hair (itself described as flowing, elegant, and dandruff-free).
Now do you understand?
Not a doubt in my mind. It has become more clear than anything.
THANK YOU LUCIEN.

Wow. Sourcebooks are lame.
To be more precise, Sourcebooks just serve a single purpose: To explain certain force abilities for roleplaying purpose, and enable the players to experience Star Wars first hand, not to serve as "real" explanation of what happened in universe.
Hence blind faith in that kind of sources is rather arbitrary. The old version of the Dark Side Sourcebook proclaimed that Sidious "blotted out the stars themselves", while the Tales of the Jedi Companion equipped Freedon Nadd with a mastery of all force abilities listed in the book (which was pretty much all force abilities inventioned at that point in time, including force storms). Obviously, those books contain a lot of questionable information, especially regarding things that don't belong to the character stories (e.g. the description of force abilities that Gideon listed here).
Just throwing this out there. Is it just me or is there an inverse relationship between those who perceive themselves more intelligent than everyone else here, and financial success? I'm not sure what Nai's or the Januses do for a living but it just seems that their so called intelligence hasn't really translated to real world success. Again, I could be wrong and I totally shouldn't have taken that theraflu this morning.

Haven't laughed this hard since Gideon told us he was straight.

I can't claim to know Gideon that well, but I'm entranced by the downright animal magnetism of his posts. It wouldn't surprise me if legions of obsessive people made him the very center of their universes.
Spoiler:
From what I hear, he's very straight. And bangs hot chicks quite often.

An interesting question. Let see if we can find an answer.
In order to state that certain people just "perceive" themselves as more intelligent than others, you have to assume that their perception is somehow off. With that assumption, you have moved into a position, in which you perceive yourself as more intelligent than the people who you think of perceiving themselves as more intelligent than you.
After having become a member of the group of "those who perceive themselves more intelligent than everyone else here", you might just check your bank account to find the answer to your question. I hope you will share the result with us, because we'd all like to know how much money one can make in the trolling business today.
I'm not sure what Nai's or the Januses do for a living but it just seems that their so called intelligence hasn't really translated to real world success. Again, I could be wrong and I totally shouldn't have taken that theraflu this morning.
I wonder where you concluded that from. Because I don't hawk information about my personal life around on an online forum?
I mean, okay, I could also make up stories about my life off the internet, like you other people, and think that somebody will actually buy that stuff, while I keep acting diametrically opposed to the phantasmagoria I try to sell. But I wonder what that would be good for? I can imagine that people with a frail ego and no actual success in life would do something like that, to get attention and acknowledgement, that the real world denies them. I would pity those who have sunken so deep.
But, just to clarify this, that wasn't a reference to you. We all know that you're a successful student of business administration, law, a financial wizard, a good-looking ladykiller, a fantastic sportsman and, of course, a great debater. The latter point has always been one of the few things accepted as a general consensus among the members of this very forum. We've always admired your rhetorical refinement and your skill in producing coherent arguments. Qualities, that will, without a doubt, blaze your trail to many won battles in the courtroom.
So we should deem ourselfs lucky that you - rather than working from 9 to 5 or making millions at the Wall Street or spending your time at Yale, Harvard or Stanford law school - grace us with your marvellous presence.

Why would I have to subscribe to that position if I assumed that? I could just as well perceive myself on equal footing as the "intelligent" ones, or maybe less intelligent in some aspects but more efficient/intelligent in the ones that count. The fact that you only perceive one outcome if I subscribe to my assumption, tells me you haven't thought it through.
The fact that you came trolling out of nowhere, with no reason to do so at all, already demonstrates your mindset, Beef. 🙂
Well, what WE know is that it's probably better than the trolling and self pwned sarcasm business, correct?
Yes. Your reputation in here is definitely well earned. 🙂
Well, from what I remember, I think Janus is some kind of CS rep. I don't know about you but you definitely spend enough time on these forums to question your financial success, unless you work for yourself. And when I say the "Nais and Janus", it doesn't necessarily mean you, just the group you run with.
I wonder what this says about you, provided you probably spent more time here than myself. I just come by once in a while, when I have some spare-time left, while you wrote one third of the social thread on your own. What does that tell us about your financial success? 🙂
That's one hilarious rationalization. Way to trigger your self defense mechanism. Did I hit a nerve?
Did I hit a nerve, or why are you trying the "rationalization" thing again? It's boring. It's even lamer than the previous "insecurities" show. *yawn*
Yup.. Definitely defensive. Thanks for the essay chief, I'm sure I'm not the only one who gets a kick out of your whining. 😆
Correct. I'm rather sure that many will find it hilarious to see you turned into the laughing stock of the forum again. It simply never gets old. 🙂

Well, lets take a look at our join dates, posts, and do the math? Thanks for actually proving my point🙂

So I call you defensive and you respond with... The same thing? Wow, I didn't know you went back to your calling card of being a parrot.

You consider calling a troll "troll" an insult? I'd always thought that falls under the "stating the truth" paradigm.
As is yours🙂 *Queue the denial*
Aww. *blushs* All the people who called me one of the best debators and most knowledgeable persons ever to appear here, and have praised my mastery of a secondary language, did so rightly? That's so cute, Sexy. I'm almost feeling sorry for the fact, that you're generally perceived as a troll who has never contributed anything to a debate here. 🙁

Urm. Is that lack of reading comprehension of yours taking its toll again?
You: 11116 posts.
Me: 2798 posts.
So having produced almost four times as many posts as myself, despite having joined 14 months after me, is a testament to you spending less time here than myself? That's a very ...creative... interpretation of the given facts, don't you think so?

Sorry. I'm not as good at the art of trolling as you are, David. Perhabs I should visit you to receive some lessons from the master himself.
I believe you've been the laughing stock far longer than I ever could be. But how can I compete with an irrational defense mechanism? 😛
And, as many, many other things you believe, this one is also wrong. Phew. That was hard work. Gotta go now. Cya, pal.
