An OOC RP PSA...aboard an SSD manufactured by BMW. ;)

As most of you are well aware, the majority of us are currently involved with the Yuuzhan Vong storyline. From some earlier tweets I've decided there are a few points I need to address/clarify:

1. JUMP IN. I'd like this story to involve as many of us as possible, and I purposely brainstormed something that would get everyone working together RP wise. It's just more fun that way. If you still haven't jumped in but would like to, please do so. I love seeing what everyone brings to the table!

2. Please realize that apart from a general outline i.e. (Vader captured, Vader escapes, Empire crushes the Vong) I'm not so sure where our storyline is going, myself. I wait for someone to tweet and feed off of that. I kind of like the unknown element b/c I never know quite what to expect.

3. In regards to #2, I would LOVE if you guys could jump in with some ideas for what you'd like to see happen. Use the comment section of this blog to contribute. We can turn it into some sort of "mini-forum" to discuss this and future storylines. I'd love that.

4. If you're not a part of the SW Verse but you've been watching our storyline unfold, we still welcome your ideas and encourage you to join.

5. Much love to everyone here...even if they're part of the Rebel Alliance and/or a traitor... ;)

Ah, kriff...

Yes, it's that time of year again. Valentine's Day. What a pain in my cybernetic ass. What did I do to deserve this? It's almost as bad as that wretched time of the year known as Father's Day, where I've learned cards like THIS will be the norm from my children from now until my funeral pyre at Endor.



But Valentine's Day...holidays based on love aren't quite compatible with those who've elected to pursue a Sith lifestyle. I mean "Peace is a lie, there is only passion" fulfills the passion requirement, but love? One *can* love, but, THIS? This holiday, one is expected to cut out little hearts and watch romantic holos and even speak in that hideous lovey language. I won't even go into that.



Problem is, I have someone who's counting on me, and I have no idea what in blazes to do. Imagine...Darth Vader gets the girl, and then fails to deliver the one day of the year where it actually counts. I do a fantastic job all 364 other days...why does it have to be this blasted other day that stands out from the rest?

Relax, Vader. In with the good mechanized breath, out with the bad.

Valentine's Day is just another day...

Yeah. I've said that till I'm blue in the face. Actually, more like pasty-white, but we won't go into that. And don't needle me with, "How grotesque, Lord Vader?" I look just fine!!

What to get Brisard...what to get Brisard...

All I can think of that she might need is a hydrospanner. So I bought one.



So I got this hydrospanner and a cake fashioned to be an exact replica of our wedding cake. But that's all I have. A glorified wrench and a cake.

Here's hoping the Force is with me...

PSA: PLEASE READ

PSA: To all members of the SW twitterverse and all outsiders who interact with us:

As you all well know, there have been many changes in our verse as of late, and none of them good.

I aim to address as many of the issues at hand as best I can and turn it over to each of you for a solution, as this matter is now well beyond my control.

While I am flattered and humbled that so many of you have come to me looking for answers, help, direction, etc, I must also remind you that I'm really not the group leader. We don't have one. Personally, I feel that's a good thing. That being said, please don't take this as a "never come to me with your problems" thing, because that isn't why I'm posting this here. I'm just trying to say that there's only so much I can address at a given time. Lately, it's gotten beyond my grasp.

If you have personal issues with another member of our verse, please take it up respectfully with that person in dm's. I would be happy to moderate if needed, as would other members of our verse.

This leads me to another point altogether:

I try my best to be impartial in the verse. I love each of you, and I want nothing more than to help you all interact and help new people to integrate. Please don't ask me or others to take sides, unfollow, block, etc. a given character at anytime.

Also? The hate in this verse has GOT to stop. If you have a problem, dm, or call someone in to moderate.

Public slams both on the feed, formspring, etc., from ALL PARTIES need to cease as well. We're acquiring more haters, and quickly earning the reputation of becoming cliquish and elitists. I'm sick of it.

Go back to one @The_Tycho. I can't tell you how much sleep I've actually lost over what happened with him. If I could go back and change what was said on my part, I would. Was he annoying? Yes. He was also 14 years old.

If someone annoys you, simply unfollow. Don't give a reason unless they ask you, and if at all possible, make your answer simple and polite.

Your Dark Lord isn't unfollowing anyone unless they seriously start something that gets out of control. Unless you can give me a timestamp of an @reply with "Rot in hell you bastard" etc, and I can tell without a shadow of a doubt that it's OOC, because let's face it, that last quote is totally IC for Leia and Luke if they said it to me, I'm not going to slam, unfollow, block, etc.

Don't get problems with other characters if they don't block/unfollow the same characters you want them to unfollow, and on the other end of the spectrum, don't get upset if a character unfollows you. It's happened to everyone. Just move on. This is twitter.


Let's talk RP: If someone is in a serious storyline and you see a lot of stuff going on, best not to interrupt/interject with anything unless you're interjecting something of importance. An OOC comment here and there is fine, but don't make someone who's trying to assault a planet/etc have an entire convo if you see he/she is busy. If you're from outside the verse, try and see if the person you're about to tweet is insanely busy or not before you hit them up with an @reply.

Over the past four days I have sacrificed school, sleep, meals, etc. trying to help mend the differences in our RPG community. @leiaorganasolo has taken time away from work to do the same, and for any effort on my part, she has more than likely doubled it on hers.

While we're happy to help out, please remember that we can't always make these sacrifices. We're all adults here...I'm hoping we can all approach our problems and work them out as adults. Childish bickering needs to come to an abrupt halt. We came here to play, not to fight. The only fights we need to have are in character ones and part of a storyline.

On a more personal note, I love playing with each and every one of you here. It has, however become difficult for me to navigate through 8-10 timelines (which at any given time of the day I'm in), and it's also hard for my followers and the people I tweet here to follow. If you see you can jump into one of the stories I already have going instead of starting another, it'd be a big help. The four of you who have storylines with me as wives we might need to start looking at going for different stories on a day to day basis.

Please keep in mind that nothing in the above PSA is intended to come across harsh, these are merely issues that we need to address so that things won't get out of hand. If each of you can assist in some way, the verse should run like a well-maintained Italian sports car. I hear they're like podracers, so I'm all for it. ;)

Thanks,

DV

Wakeup call...

Alright, galaxy. This one is a PSA on how not to direct message your Dark Lord on twitter.

I follow a bunch of people. I also tweet with lots too.

The relationships we have in the verse are not real. Any love scenes you see in the verse are either 1. For character storyline or 2. For comic relief.

Our dm's are all in regards to storyline or RL (many of us are RL friends as well here.)

That being said, here are some of the most shocking dm's I have ever received. None of these are from verse members, but all the same, I choose to air them anonymously.

(Please excuse the language/content. This is not your Dark Lord writing the following.)

Now you know all the truth, tell me do I have a chance with you my lord? Some say I look alike like natalie portman... and I'm a pretty desirable brunette with a lack of chance with almost all Star Wars true fans



*climbs on top and straddles you* Are you a bad bad Sith today? *snickers*

You know what? I wanna make love to you, with/out armor you're in every single fantasy of mine my lord #confessions

I want you to pound me like a jackhammer. *blushes deeply and giggles* *Bites lip* I want you so bad Lord Vader, please don't push me away.

fuck me on the kitchen,fuck me on the fridge,fuck me on your TIE or even fuck me on ur Emperor's seat sexy mad lord

*takes off her bra and her medium sized breasts are shown to Lord Vader* She blushes even deeper.

-groans- please me my love - do it, make passionate love to me, do bad things with me, eat me, kiss me, fuck me -kisses deep-


---

In addition to the following (which is like a top ten list for WHAT IN THE HELL?!) I have received pictures, emails, im acct names, and various other propositions.

I tweet as Darth Vader for fun. I might flirt from time to time, and if you have a decent storyline, I might even work you in my RPG, but I'm here because of my love for Star Wars. Not sex.

Furthermore, it's gotten to the point that much of the outside tweeting/flirtations at Vader interfere with my main storylines to the point where I can no longer tweet my group.

Other outsiders have actually been asked to cease, courtesy of one of the members I play my main storyline with, and in return the people in question have both slammed her and unfollowed the SW verse characters. Why do that? Why disrespect the characters that our characters have relationships with and then slam them in the feed, especially given the knowledge that our verse is so tightly knit?

We tweet everyone, and by everyone I mean Star Wars, Star Trek, M*A*S*H, Twilight, Anne Rice, Trueblood, Anime, Film noir characters, fairys, pixies, animals, robots, non-canon characters, RL accts, comic book superheros, historical figures, and Blues Brothers.

We aren't high strung, and we aren't exclusive. We do, however, demand a little respect.

Thanks for your understanding and attention to this situation.

End PSA

I'm Darth Vader and I have a plant problem...

That's right. Your eyes didn't fool you.

I'm Darth Vader, and I have a plant problem. Or, HAD a plant problem. Kriff if I know anymore.

It all started one night when I went to enjoy some peaceful meditation



with Rebecca, only to find that for some reason, our Marvin Gaye had no effect.

For the first time in my life, my saber malfunctioned.



So, I decided to go to see my psychiatrist, Dr. FleurduMal to see if she could give me any insight, because this has never been a problem for me.

When I got there, I found Obi-Wan had already scheduled an appointment...the doctor told me I'd have to wait! I know she's a good doctor and all, but honestly, doesn't anybody in this entire blasted galaxy have any idea of WHO I AM? Darth Vader doesn't make appointments. So, I "altered" the appointment and Obi-Wan and I were stuck in this joint session. Didn't matter so much at first because I needed to work through these problems, but then I realized Kenobi was hearing EVERYTHING I had to say. Anyway, I got some good dirt on him from that session, so if he blackmails me, I go public on his ass.

So, while I was at the Doctor's office, I noticed she had this amazing plant specimen on her desk. I asked her what it was, and she told me it was a Rhododendron.

I think Rhododendron is synonymous with SEXIEST. PLANT. EVER.



Anyway, so I swiped the plant from her office, because unlike her session, I was actually getting worked up over this plant. Figured I could just tote it around with me all my days and presto! No more saber malfunctions. Ever.

So, I take the plant back with me and this fairy propositions me. Told her I wasn't interested and returned my attentions back to the plant.

Woke up the next morning to the sound of Brisard's Corellian cackle. Apparently, this was all some little trick of hers and she sprayed the plant with her own perfume just so I'd be attracted to it.



Gotta say. Worked like a charm.

Anyways, long story short, we made up, had a wonderful night, courtesy of Mr. Marvin Gaye, and here I am now.

So, why do I still feel so bad?

If I'd have just taken time to think...to be considerate, Brisard wouldn't have to have perfumed plants and stashed them around my ship.

Expanding on that subject, if I'd have been thinking, I'd have left my master to die, and embraced the galaxy with my son, instead of pushing him away.

I'd own up to the fact that I'm a monster in Leia's eyes instead of expressing my discontent at her when she pushes me away.

I love my children and I love my wife, but for some reason, I fear connection. I fear connection because it opens those I love to my darkness, and for as much control as I have over the Force, I fear that I'd still end up hurting those I care for. I connect with Brisard, yet I cause her more hurt than she has ever known. I don't wish to cause her pain, yet I can't control my emotions when the darkness claims me.

How could I put my children through that?

Maybe I should buy Luke and Leia a nice home...their own planet. Something to show I care, and in a peaceful place, far from my reach.

As for Aria, she is determined to see this through, even if it means her death. She won't allow me to send her away...won't allow me to see to her safety.

Luke is trying to restore our bond...

Leia is hinting at wanting to know her father...

My entire kriffing family is nuts.

Love does that.

Can't they understand that I'm so bad the ghosts of former Sith Lords pop up in my quarters to say, "Dude? You killed younglings? Whoa, you ARE evil."

That settles it. Dr. FleurduMal is taking on the whole family. I'm going to call and schedule a group session. If I've got a problem with hate, they have a problem with love. Hopefully our good doctor will have a solution that can help us to become a true family.

I hope...

Losing my religion...and quite possibly, my Empire...

Blast, but it's been stressful lately for your Dark Lord...rogue jedi, engagements, my daughter gone to meditate with that blasted smuggler, and...a fleet threatening the security of my Empire.

I am concerned that this new fleet is the product of all my fears combined...I am certain that these warships are the fleet of the Yuuzhan Vong. They've come to try and stake their claim on my galaxy.

Their ships are like nothing we've seen on our radar before. Honestly, why can't we have those little folks in the flying cube like our friends from the alternate galaxy?

Nice design...(albeit they ripped off our Death Star...how far did those intercepted plans go?!)



And they look kind of friendly...



But, do my probe droids return and tell me they've found a Borg fleet in my galaxy?!



Of course not...Instead, this is what they find...

Which leads me to the following...

What kind of people are the Yuuzhan Vong, anyways?

Casting call...

I love the diversity of the twitterverse, and I love how we RP with anyone and everyone.

But...I'd love to have a few more characters in our pocket.

Casting call:

Don't have:
Admiral Piett
Admiral Ozzel
Wrenga Jixton
Mon Mothma
Bail & Breha Organa
Greedo
Oola
Darth Malak
Count Dooku (b/c his typist left)
Xizor (same)
Moff Jerjerrod

Have them, but they should tweet more often:
Jabba the Hutt
Boba Fett
Lando Calrissian
Yoda


I'm just listing some main characters, but there are thousands more that need to make an apperance in our verse. I think this might be a good place to do so.

MTFBWY, (unless you are part of the Rebel Alliance and a TRAITOR!)

DV

(We have a Darth__Sidious if the typist returns)
