Darth_Yuthura

Check K3.

We can now set a launch date. I will likely not be available until 11:00 PM your time. I may adjust classes, so I can't give any true windows of opportunity other than that. I'll let you know as they come.

I'm online now.

I read the piece and think it was a great addition to the two already set up. This adds some action to the words and ended with a very open conclusion. I look forward to when these are launched. I'll check spelling just for the sake of saving time.

How are you now?

I've started writing a flashback that would last another full chapter. I think that the sith would be for greater if Yuthura remembered the incident where she seduced the guy and betrayed him. That would give some more depth to the character and explain rather than imply why he hated her.

The flashback would probably work, but it stalls the war section even longer. I just want to be through it!

Maybe I'll just end it abruptly and then go back when I'm less frustrated with the same subject for so long. I should also read more of the new order and a few SW books before I go on with SiD.

Query: Would you advise posting chapters at once or waiting over a long period of time in Deviantart? I've considered leaving only one or two for about a week to get readers and then add every few days after that.

I'm trying to finish the 'war section' of SiD so I can be free of it for good. I am not really in the mind set to do anything, but should exercise or something.

How is Path of Destruction?

I'm back. I'm not using my time very well, so I might as well spend it here. I have a busy schedule tomorrow.

How are things in England?

I'm going to be preoccupied with other things for the next hour or so. Don't think I just abandoned you or something.

I also like the PC version because of the mods you can use.

I've got 15 credits / hours a week. I was assuming that study was a 3/1 ratio to class time. If I had 60 hours a week... I would already be dead. lol

I will try to keep SiD in progress, but will have certain spurts of enthusiasm and countered by obligations. I have recently started a new drawing of Yuthura that really has great emotional value... and eye candy for males.

I just saw someone pose with their hands near the neck and saw a great pose that could be like her holding the slaving collar that was around her neck. There would also be a hutt's thug right beside to show that she was under the lash of an owner. I think that would be of great emotional value... at least because it has a theme to it.

what do you think of that?

I'm going to be having studying to do instead. It is difficult to manage the time for that because their is no set goal that I can define. Although three hours per every hour in class is great... I just wouldn't be able to pull off 60 hour weeks and a job at the same time.

I favor the B-1b bomber most because it has a much lower pricetag than a B-2, but the aircraft has most of the same capabilities or better. It was mach capable, able to carry the same internal load as well as external, and its range is roughly the same.

It's not a stealth plane, but low observebillity and faster than the B-52, so it is the greatest balance of performance to aircraft cost. It is still restricted by the situation in today's warfare. That gets to the aircraft's bomb load not ever being required for a single target... it makes more sense to have a greater number of fighters that could attack many small targets instead of this one bomber concentrating on a small area.

Although fighters and bombers are very interesting pieces of equipment, they are becoming less required in the war of economies. The US has the largest military in the world and don't need half of what we keep operating. Would you agree?

I wasn't being serious. I did do that last semester and was able to get out of some work because I missed the first day due to signing up a week later.

I am already acquainted with my professors, so no point in wasting their time.

I am bored and have to have some order back in my life. Internship still waiting.

Turning 16 was easy. High school wasn't that hard, so HOP isn't bogged down anymore than you or me. I just would like to know his situation at least.

Would you be surprised if I said I haven't sighed up for ANY of my classes yet? I officially am not enrolled this semester!

I can still sign up within the next week, so I'm doing that. I guess they wouldn't miss me for the first two days.

HOP hasn't reported back for some time... at least when we are trying to get the battleship on the slipway. I wish that he would at least get in touch to say something about the situation.

I was just lazy.

I could have looked at the calendar... which I did to ensure it was today on the day before my classes started. That way, I wouldn't miss anything if I were wrong.

I didn't have anything today, but will at this time tomorrow. I could assure you that I would be around at least from 11:00 each night. your time

I could go to deviantart if you like.

I got five hours of sleep last night and discovered that college REALLY starts today. I didn't think I was going back right after Labor day, but classes are in session and the summer is officially over for me.

I'm online again. The dorm's connection seems to work, but I can't assure that it will stay that way. I will be off again before you reply, so be aware of that.

How are you? Get any sleep since?

Based on the next comment... we can't be in two forums at once!

I was on deviant art just for the last few minutes... thinking you were still there. What forum are you taking up?

Hello there. I can see a change in the forum.

I really like the idea of the force unleashed and Halo 3, but realize that they are not worth getting involved if I'm not already. They serve no purpose other than to waste time and provide easy recreation and stress relief. Problem comes from using it too much and when not needed.

I have spent too much time with KOTOR, but I have gotten some things out of it... beyond the game itself. I really like SiD, but it is addicting if I decide to spend time writing it than completing a project. The social benefits are the rewards, but there is only so much that I should be willing to spend for that.

My greatest issue is balancing short-term with the long term rewards. Long term are the most important, but there are times when one MUST have their stress relieved and enjoy the moment. Those are just addicting and must be regulated.

I have a great interest in modern fighters and bombers, but I usually take into account the economic aspects of a fighter as well. The F-15C Eagle is the greatest generation 4 fighter ever built, but it is limited in its mission capabilities. It can't multi-role like the F-16, but it is unrivaled by everything other than F-22 and F-35 fighters.

I actually favor the F-35A fighter for the future over the F-22 simply because they are more capable aircraft. F-22's are dedicated air superiority fighters without the expectation to do air to surface fighting or the flexibility that the F-35B has for Vstol purposes. Although they are not nearly as capable in performance, the F-35 makes up for in economic and strategic purposes.

I absolutely despise the B2 bomber in every way. It is a one billion dollar battleship of the air that has no real purpose in today's wars. No target in the world would require a B2 that stealth fighters can take out or B-1b bombers can destroy.

I agree with the generation four fighters having thrust vectoring. I especially like the X-29 and X-31 test fighters.

Well there are certain traits that I know I can't overcome without dedication and time. I can see character flaws in myself, but don't act to correct them. I came to sacrifice classes last year because I let myself be overwhelmed by less important things.

I never really had extreme addictions to video games before, but they have made a significant negative impact on my life. I am trying to step away from them, but often find myself thinking too much of them even during class periods. At first, I thought I could listen and do well with less effort, but deluded myself into thinking something I knew was going to end up badly.

As I come into this year, I might just make the same mistakes again. I am trying to overcome that and face everything that I must and face the cold-hard-truth of a situation. Work leads to greater joy. the simpler the task, the less joy I'll have that lasts.

Very similar problems that I have.

I understand the traits of being charismatic and a leader, but don't exercise them properly because I have social flaws. I think I understand people, but often see much more to the person than there actually is. As a result, I think higher of people than there really is and let them take over my better judgment. I would say I'm a very kind person, but very confrontational towards those who don't respect me as I should. I do think logically, but also try to take human aspects of a situation into account and make simplistic ideas and 'muddy the water' because the others don't understand what I say.

These are some of the major flaws I see within myself and try to correct in order to overcome the leadership flaws I know I have. The first step to knowledge is knowing your ignorance. Of course, these are flaws...

I won't deny that the F-22 is the most advanced fighter ever built. A generation 5 fighter could take out any prior generation w/out stealth technology easily. The biggest issue I have with such remarkable fighters are that they are extremely expensive and not required in today's world.

The F-22 can take on five F-15's, but that doesn't mean it can do what those five fighters can. The overall mission of fighters like the F-22 and bombers like the B2 don't exist anymore. There are no targets or fighters that REQUIRE the technology of those two planes that F-15's and B-52's can't perform.

I favor the F-16 mainly because of the economic base of being cheap multi-role fighters with a small price tag. They are not the best, but they are the ones that win in the 'best value' battle.

That's just what I think.

Then realize that when I write for the character that takes after you, she would likely have the strengths you've displayed. If I give her certain weaknesses, it's only because I have no idea and would not try to perfectly emulate you... nor would I feel differently if you over exaggerate or misinterperate my own character flaws.
