Title: Just want to say hi
Post by: stuntmanmike on June 18, 2008, 09:24:15 AM
Hello everyone!
Just wanted to say hi to everyone in Oregon. I have currently started my project of becoming a Biker Scout and becoming a part of the 501st. I'm very excited to start this project and start trooping with you all. If anyone has any suggestions or advice about this project feel free to let me know, I always appreciate the input. Anyways, hope to meet some of you soon. Oh and I have my myspace URL listing as well.

Thanks
James

atleast they can dodge trees, us TK's usually walk right into them with our visibility ;)

Ya, and biker scouts have good accuracy (at least with their autoblaster)!  Those TK's can't hit more than Rebel Fleet Troopers in tightly packed corridors... this comes from a Rebel Fleet Trooper...

Welcome aboard!

Of course there was something to be said about the 50 RFT's to the hundreds that were aboard Vader's ISD!  :mrgreen:

Silly Rebels never know their place.... oh simple math equations!  :lol:

Hello everyone!

I've kind of been waiting for a little while now join and post in here due to several reasons really but now is the time. I have seen some of the events you have done and I am very eager to get on board and begin putting together some gear and begin trooping.
Title: Re: Just want to say hi

Welcome to CCG, Rattlehead. Be sure to scour our boards for all kinds of information. And if you have a specific question that is not covered in any of our other threads, feel free to ask away. We ask that you familiarize yourself with the FAQ of our message boards.

I am the membership liason here at Cloud City. Please feel free to PM me if you have any costuming questions. I'll be sure to point you in the right direction and offer any assistance that I can.

Glad to have you within our ranks!

Thanks for the welcome. I will be checking out the FAQ ASAP.

I'm looking real hard at the Biker Scout setup. I figure I should go with something a little bit more "normal". If there is such a thing and then maybe a ways in the future look at something else. I know, one thing at a time. There is a lot to soak up here and I don't want to get ahead of myself.

I will look at my schedule and see what I can do to get down there and say hi.
Title: Re: Just want to say hi
Post by: tavrikgannon on July 20, 2008, 12:41:16 PM
Normal? Normal, you say? And you think those silly little tree dodgers are normal? Why, those guys cost us Endor!!! They got their donkies whipped by a bunch of teddy bears!  :mrgreen:

Seriously, the Scout is an awesome costume. We have quite a few here at Cloud City. Feel free to pick any of their brains.

Yeah, you hear that Sithman, I told him to pick your brain.... hehe

Post by: Rattlehead on July 20, 2008, 02:37:46 PM
I know, I've heard the argument over the years. There is no such thing as "normal". :lol:

If I had been apart of the scouts back then maybe things would have turned out different on Endor. Really though who are you going to blame them or Vader for allowing them to land in the first place.  :mrgreen:
Title: Re: Just want to say hi

THEM! They were supposed to be among an entire legion of the Emperor's best troops.....  :roll:

Just be sure to put them back when you are done...

There is a difference between the "Emperor's best" and Vader's Fist.  If it were the 501st on Endor, then the Rebels would have been slaughtered and the Ewoks would have bee nthe main course at the victory barbecue!
Title: Re: Just want to say hi
Post by: tavrikgannon on July 20, 2008, 08:31:56 PM
Well seeing as how the 501st is attached to Vader, it would stand to reason that they would have been nearby. I can see that 501st troops were down planetside.

After all, the 181st flew in the space battle. And they were the cream of the Imperial Starfighter crop!

yet again another reason I shall never do battle in Star Wars trivia against Bill!

I can see Bill has the trivia down, very nice. My son who I have 28 years on has knowledge that I had no idea he had when it comes to Star Wars. We play the trivia and he can get some that I had no clue. Amazing!
Title: Re: Just want to say hi

Bill ain't the only Master when it comes to trivia, though... muahahahahaha
Title: Re: Just want to say hi
Post by: FireStorm on July 22, 2008, 05:14:16 PM
Please let it be known that the Emperor himself said that an entire legion of HIS best troops waited for them.  That doesn't make them Vader's own personal, hand picked, cream of the crop, ready to whoop stormtroopers.  It means that it was the Emperor's legion.


Title: Re: Just want to say hi
Post by: tavrikgannon on July 23, 2008, 08:27:45 AM
Good point..... they still got whooped by a bunch of teddy bears!  :roll:

hehehehe
Bill ain't the only Master when it comes to trivia, though... muahahahahaha

That may be true... but I don't have to beat my hands on my chest about it. I let my geekiness (and the Fett-man) do all the talking for me!  :mrgreen:

Title: Re: Just want to say hi
Post by: Aysel on July 23, 2008, 05:09:05 PM
isn't that a geek's form of chest beating though?
Title: Re: Just want to say hi
Post by: tavrikgannon on July 23, 2008, 09:43:52 PM
Not at all.... I can't help if the Fett-man gives me such high praise due to my vast knowledge of Star Wars lore. I can concede to the point that there may be someone out there who has more lore knowledge than me, but to date, I have only ever lost once at a game of SW:Trivial Pursuit. Not bragging, that is just an honest fact.

Post by: Aysel on July 25, 2008, 06:58:32 PM
I'd like to see you and Jason try your hand at a game....I bet that would be funny
Title: Re: Just want to say hi
Post by: tavrikgannon on July 25, 2008, 07:33:46 PM
I bet it would. And I would suspect a huge betting pool turn out as a result of said contest.

I'm game, when is the next armor party and who is bringing the game?

I'd like to think I'm game too but I'm pretty sure I would get smashed big time. :?

I will be hosting an armor party soon to get going on my secret project :)

And I of course have SW:Trivial Pursuit lying around

Neither have I...  and if it is a Pepito Party then my wife will cook for it unless there are other plans...  She is thinking maybe stir-fry...

Just checking in again as I have not seen anything on dates for a get together for noobs. I have been out of touch for almost a months being on vacation and having to deal with a wedding and other crazy stuff going on. To much drama for me. Just want it known I'm still around and ready to meet everyone when possible.
Title: Re: Just want to say hi
Post by: greedo on August 17, 2008, 09:57:08 AM
I would suggest going to our Light Vader's Saber troop on the 24th.  This is a HUGE event for us every year.  There are over 20  people on our roster already.  This would be a great way to meet the group.
