Hey, if Hutts continue kicking ass, they deserve to win.

Canon purity-reign on the site suggests otherwise.


:CStern

That doesn't apply. In a previous timeline, the Sith took over the galaxy. There's no rule that says the Hutts have to lose- if they win, then it more firmly puts this into an infinity realm, as it would already be in. If we're talking canon.

I was under the impression that we generally want to keep major canon ordeals and provisions intact. Yeah, we're in a generally ambiguous section of galactic history, but in the end, bar anything but ripping canon up the arse, the Republic always emerges victorious.

It's Star Wars. The good guys always win.


...dammit...





That being said, I wouldn't mind if someone were to step up and say "**** CANON".

Jesus Lion, you're obnoxious and wrong.

If the Hutts win, the Hutts win. Whether or not the admin team decides to give them the finger and make the next timeline exist at a point where the Republic have somehow made a comeback, that's up to them.

What you're suggesting would mean the whole war was prearranged, and the minute battles are predetermined I'm leaving this site.

It's a story then game, not purely a " end game" sorta system, it goes till it runs out of steam.. If he Hutts hold dominance they hold it, if republic gets it's shit together and makes a comeback, then that is what they do. players and staff will periodically throw in wildcards but it goes where WE want it to go from a story telling stand point.

thats the way it's been, and will be... SWRP may have " roots" in canon, but we have our OWN branch of " swrp canon" that develops because of the events of the site ^_^

Canonwise, it's a few thousand years from many plots. The tides could easily change in a few thousand years.

EDIT: Nevermind. Gossipy elitist kid isn't worth my insults.

Abridged version: Nowhere did I say battles are/should be prearranged. But feel free to leave at your leisure.


The Republic will be victorious at the bitter end. As in, the Republic is still going to be around whether the Hutts 'win' this war or not. It's still the dominant power in the galaxy (for the most part) after all of this is said and done.

Yeah, that's prearranged. It's the fact of the matter.

Unless, of course, what I've read and been told (by Admins, mind you) is wrong? That we don't maintain wider canon on this site?

That's not the case, for the second time. If the Hutts are forced to lose then I'm done, and I'm sure so is everyone else who isn't the Republic. Just by having this conflict we've changed Star Wars canon, so the Saga wouldn't happen exactly how it did.

It's not a fact of the matter, so stop trolling about it. If the Hutts win the Hutts win, and there's really no way to deny that.

*A slimy Hutt picks up the victory cup*
Hutt: Woot!
*Republic sends for a death star and blows them up*

It doesn't really contradict canon, actually. There's nothing to say that the Hutts didn't usurp Republic dominance for a little while, or even centuries. The next known major canon event isn't for another nearly thousand years, in 12,000 BBY. The Hutts could've had some sort of dominance for centuries in that period.

If we went to another timeline after a Hutt victory, we'd probably mention something about how the Hutts were ultimately pushed back, putting the Republic back into central power.

That's not to piss on what the Hutts could accomplish on this timeline, or give them the finger as Nevermore phrased it, but rather an acknowledgment of the obvious fact that in order to have an attractive timeline we'd restore the galaxy to a standard status quo.

The Hutts and the Bogan can both win. The Jedi Order's numbers could dwindle to 2. The Republic government could twiddle its thumbs for 500 years next to a waterfall on Naboo. But at the end of the day, when new timelines begin, it's too difficult to start from an Infinities angle. Where it goes after the start of timelines, however, is open season.

Brandon does have a point. Besides, it's more fun if the dark jedi are conquerers rather than defenders. Defensive dark jedi are boring.

EDIT: Also, the Bogan and Hutt could later end up turning on each other, weakening both. With the Bogan and Hutts in weakened states, the Republic might stand a chance to reclaim what they lost.

Yeah, no point in arguing how the rest of the war will go when we're still stuck on Ando Prime.
