Hawken's site.

I don't remember who the staff was expect for Hawken. If I remember right all the faction leaders were mods over their own faction sections.

Along with Hawken, also I think their names were Dementia and Tarkin. They might have been mods or admins, but they were quote possibly the rudest.

Due note though, that this was like back in 2005, where I was a noob at RPing and writing.

Not ringing any bells.

Ha. Oh 2005, I remember being the only Sith at times on Hawken's. Everyone would fall, see the light, fall again. Die bad, come back good, it was so silly:CHappy:

Hmm, crazy to think I've been on this site for almost 4 1/2 years now, and I used to have a different name until I forgot the password after the site switched and I couldn't remember my log-in haha. I've been screwed out of like 500 posts >:[

My first char was a Jedi, got trained by a female who left shortly after, she was a pretty good RP'er I remember and was sad when she left because we had some pretty good RPs. Started with an S if I recall, maybe Solus? Unless that person is still around and I'm just thinking of that name haha.

So my char was killed by the #2 Sith saving the council as a Knight during the assault on the Jedi Temple during the first timeline. Was good fun.

Rev, I can add those posts to you account, if you want. I just need to know the number. A link to the profile or just giving me a ballpark figure would work.

Hmm, so my first few weeks as a member here was over five years ago. I first started talking to Jetzt on TF.N. At first I remember we hated each other, then we ended up getting along and we got into talking about SuperShadow. He asked me to help him with his anti-SuperShadow site and to be the mod of the SuperShadow board on the second version of SWRP on ProBoards (first one was shut down because Hawken’s a bitch). Knowing that a little power is better than no power at all, I said yes.

That’s not a joke either.

So I modded the SuperShadow board for a few weeks and eventually Jetzt decided to make me a Global Moderator (back in the day, we had Global Moderators who could moderate anything on the site but couldn’t access the Admin CP, unlike now when it’s just administrators) because, according to him, I was the only one who actually did mod stuff (which was probably bullshit). At this point I still had never RPd and barely participated in OOC discussions outside of the SuperShadow and general Star Wars boards, so I had to become more involved in OOC discussions as a condition.

A month or two later (either June or July, can’t remember off hand), the members of the Jedi faction asked the staff if they could have an administrator within their ranks. More specifically I think they wanted one of their own to become an admin, probably Kain I think (which was never, ever going to happen). They asked about this because virtually every staff member who was a Jedi turned to the Sith; Adena became Viea, Kit became Ravinos, Dex became Brenos, and I think Duncan and Nalana turned as well. Basically, all the cool kids turned to the dark side.

Instead of appointing someone with RP experience who could actually help the Jedi, Jetzt asked me and I became an administrator. Like I said, I had never RPd before, and I started off as a Padawan (and got a quick training thing with Adena before I became a Knight within a week or so) with the idea that I’d eventually go onto the Jedi Council (which I never did). That was when Ussej Padric Bac was created (and then there were stories that I was part of a Jetzt/Adena conspiracy to control the course of the RP in their favor blah blah stupid Tamir blah blah).

Now the creation of Ussej was also done with help from Jetzt. We started talking about what kind of character I would have, and we came up with the idea that my character would be a false Chosen One. The Jedi would believe he was the Chosen One, but obviously he wouldn’t be since Anakin Skywalker is the Chosen One. Still, though, it was meant to be a pretty cool story.

I said I wanted to name him Padric Bac, which was a name I’d used in earlier drafts for the Alternative Saga, but Jetzt suggested something more akin to a savior-type character. So, we thought, how about we scramble the name ‘Jesus’ and make a new name? We threw out suggestions like Sseuj, Sesuj, Essuj, and a few others. It ended up coming down to Sesuj and Ussej, and ultimately we settled on Ussej. I still opted to keep Padric as a middle name, though, so the character became Ussej Padric Bac.

I ultimately didn’t go the route of the false Chosen One, but other elements were kept, like Ussej falling in love with the sister (Laili Jeyna Rendar) of Kit Corwin Rendar/Darth Ravinos. It would’ve been interesting to see how it would’ve turned out had we gone the false Chosen One route, but I still like the story we ended up RPing anyway. It was a lot of fun and very nostalgic.

Not a huge deal haha, posts dont really make a difference to me, nice to have but not really a deciding factor in if I RP with someone :-p.

Thanks though, if I remembered the name I'd be more than willing to find it, but I have no idea what so ever lol. Had the name for like 4-6 months then we did the switch and I forgot the password and had to make a new one haha. Couldn't have been more than 500.

The question was your first few weeks. Not an outline of your entire experience during the first timeline Bac. :CAbove:

What I just said was the first 4 or 5 weeks or so.

Well damn you rose fast. No wonder everyone was bitching at the time.

Pretty much. It may have been around 2 months or something, but close enough. It was still fast enough to piss more experienced people off.

Nobody cares, Bac.

I kind of enjoyed the beginning of my time here. I brought Darman and cailst. My first character, and the only one who I ended up really using was a Mando named Dart. Lots of silly stuff happened with him. Lots of people did things that didnt make **** all sense. But it was a good time overall.
