But what if he changes his password to a random string?

He then creates a new account.

I bet you that all this talk of leaving is just him taking a few-month break at best.

I can see why you'd think that based on my history of absences and returns, but as I press into the uncharted territory of my life I will have to make some sacrifices. 🙂

I'll still be around for a bit, though. And like Silver, I might pop my head in from time to time. Definitely don't expect anything more than that, though.

Alright, well, it was nice knowing you. I wish you the best of luck in whatever endeavours life has in store for you 🙂

Damnit; I was going to post on one of these pages that I'm most impressed by all of this.

Kept missing out on the opportunity. So much for that.

Also, as for

Sidious immersed himself in the dark side so deeply that its power was beginning to kill him. His body was failing, and it could not handle his own power:[QUOTE]"Flesh does not easily support this great power."

Do you have a better source than Wookieepedia for that?

Yeah; here.

The dimension altering one was a bit out there. The way I interpreted is simply him making holes through the dimension of space, not literally altering whole dimensions.

As for the "all of space"comment, could that just have been the area where the space battle was taking place?

Ah, fair enough then.

That's one way to interpret it I guess.

If there was any additional text which would limit it to all of local space, yes, but there isn't, so no.

3 - 5 days.

I have busy schedule.

It won't be an argument for the sake of argument. I will address errors and misinterpretations in your essay and highlight showings that Palpatine has not replicated and/or areas where he is not at par. If Palpatine has legitimate superiority in an area, it will be acknowledged.

While I agree there are errors and misinterpretations in the essay, I hardly think that Valkorian/Vitiate has showings on Palpatine's level on a consistent basis.

10 for effort. But overall, yes, it is a low-quality essay. You take everything 'literally' and you do not take into account the context of novels, sources, etc
You're gonna have to improve it.

Valkorion's/Vitiate's showings are based on quality, not quantity. Same for most EU characters(TOR era, etc)

That doesn't change the fact that Valkorion cannot match Sidious.

Mind-bending 8000 Sith Lords and a whole planet(Ziost) including trained Force sensitives isn't as impressive as Sidious mind-bending billions of non-sensitives(with no defence)
Revan re-deflecting Nyriss' ashing Force lightning(a Force sensitive) isn't as impressive as Sidious turning to charred husks non-sensitive or those three Dark Side Prophets(who were taken by surprise)
Lifting dead spaceships by sheer power isn't as impressive as Sidious ripping Senate pods apart
Vitiate one-shotting Darth Marr isn't as impressive as Sidious one-shotting strompoopers
Exar Kun(weak version) turning Gantoris into charred husk/or ash and messing with Luke's Jedi Praexum isn't as impressive as Palpatine blade-bending Windu's lightsabre
Exar's Force scream isn't as impressive as Sheev's autistic scream
I could go on like this day and day...

Azronger has to try harder to prove that Sidious>Vitiate

Against arguments like that, no I don't. 😆

I agree with Palpatine being above all other Sith and Valkorian. As for this ultimate essay, I'll probably give it an A* for effort, but a C+/B- for assessment. My main problem is that dragged on for so long, there's too much to read and Palpatine's advantages over Viagara is overemphasised and you've made it sound even more one sided than they're already are.
