Tysyacha Posted November 17, 2005 Share Posted November 17, 2005 THE DARK SIDE OF THE FORCE How, exactly, does a Jedi get from the point where he or she thinks, "Passion and emotion can give me strength to overcome obstacles and power to survive..." to this point: "Kill the Jedi! Slaughter the innocent! Hahahahaha!!!" I'd especially like Darth333 and Vladimir-Vlada to respond to this, but everyone, please do! I don't understand. :-\ (Note: This may turn into a roleplay thread in the Theatre.) Sincerely, Tysyacha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hallucination Posted November 17, 2005 Share Posted November 17, 2005 ^Or a very very bad day at work. I think that at first Jedi are all "I'm so holy" to deciding what is best for people, and that is power. Power is fun. Then they test the limit of their power. They see it has no limits, but the jedi do. They leave the jedi/ get tempted away. Then they become evil. Or they could be trying to help people, then they go past what the Jedi say. Slowly they lose their control and start doing evil to get back at people. Eventually they despise people who limit themselves, who they label 'weak'. Then the get other 'powerful' people and start killing the weak. There are countless other ways, but these are two that I think would be the most common. P.S. Why Vlad and D333?

Emperor Devon Posted November 17, 2005 Share Posted November 17, 2005 You're asking Vladimir about it? He's on the Light Side. But I'll give you an answer, since I am more familiar with the Dark Side than Darth333 and Vladimir can ever hope to be. How does a Jedi go from a peace-loving fool to a butchering marauder? Here's your typical answer: It is because of the Dark Side. The Dark Side can corrupt the goodest heroes, and turn a person ito something else, like a flip side of a coin. How would this happen in the first place? Passion, anger, vengeance, even emotion. Those things will lead to to the Dark Side. Or they can simply be tortured until they fall to the Dark Side. You want the real answer? It's because they mustered up the intelligence to realize that the Dark Side is so much better, and that seeing a weakling drowning in his own blood can be quite satisfying, and that feeling all that dark power coursing through your veins is a thing you should accept, not turn away from. There are also all the fringe benefits... Better lightsabers, cooler robes, better force powers, all that death and all that blood... Not to mention all that power... all that UNNNLIIIMITED POWEERRRR!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Astrotoy7 Posted November 17, 2005 Share Posted November 17, 2005 what the hell....

Vladimir-Vlada Posted November 17, 2005 Share Posted November 17, 2005 what the hell.... Generally, threads shouldnt address members specifically, thats what PMS are for... Well the thing is: My PM doesn't seem to be working. Whenever I try to send a private message, my Explorer stops responding and I have to use CTRL-ALT-DEL to exit it. Well here is your answer: No one isn't perfect when it comes to emotions. Everyone can sometimes over-react with risky things (like rage and love) and they end up with doing something they tried no to do. So if you plan on using something that can hurt you to your advantage, you're in for hard work... And possibly failiure. That's all I have to say.

Sabretooth Posted November 17, 2005 Share Posted November 17, 2005 rather weird, asking specific members for answers, but hell: To start with, the Dark Side is a little different. Rage, anger and such only fuel[/] it. They aren't the dark side. The dark side is a part of the Force which contorts your will, it changes your personality, if you give in to it. It's a bit like 'The One Ring' from Lord of the Rings, it sort of has a mind of it's own. It is very tempting and can change you completely. Add to that general human emotion. If one is given a lot of power, he tends to overuse it, exploit it to it's fullest. This power takes over him, he believes to control everything he sees. He begins to believe that that is the purpose of living, the purpose of the Force - to kill and survive. The Sith Code dictates that only the strongest deserve to live, and weakest must die, because the power makes one believe that the weaker ones are an embarrasment to the galaxy and their mere presence itself is unbearable. That, or a bad day at work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RC-1162 Posted November 17, 2005 Share Posted November 17, 2005 easiest answer: you just need a crackpot old fool like Palpatine to scream like mad in your face and youll get angry enough to slice the head off of anyone who screams next. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darth InSidious Posted November 17, 2005 Share Posted November 17, 2005 How does one fall? Rather quickly and with much irritation, if IIRC. The Jedi and there somewhat pronounced socialist ideals can tire after a time, and after that to irritate. And from the seeds of irritation grows a tree of hate. On the other hand, the constant squabbling, bickering, fighting and ultimate failure of the Dark Side has much the same effect. Go sideways to the Daft Side, it's much more fun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tysyacha Posted November 17, 2005 Author Share Posted November 17, 2005 I posted this message with Vlad and Darth333 in the title because I was wondering if something was wrong with Vlad's PM's. There was indeed something wrong, as I have now discovered, and as for D333, I will send her a PM. I wanted to invite Vlad and D333 to be in a roleplay story with me in the Dantooine Theatre section about how one falls to the Dark Side. Sorry for the inconvenience, but is anyone else game?

REDJOHNNYMIKE Posted November 18, 2005 Share Posted November 18, 2005 Have you ever wondered why Jedi fall so easily, wouldn't you say that it's entirely possible that most jedi never truly were with the "light" and are attempting to follow codes that are against their nature? The Jedi seem a lot more flawed then they let on. E.D. said "goodest" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
