My 300th Post anniversary question. That noone can answer ;)
Again dedicated entirely to Vicsun's great idea about theese kind of post.

Again Why does the Shahugians live inside a Dome of air? I mean they are underwater creatures. And if they aren't. How and why did they build this airdome deep in the ocean sea? Isn't that stupid.

[This message has been edited by Nobleman (edited May 31, 2001).]

maybe they're amphibians or something.

the dome was also probably paid for by english taxpayers and sold at a massive loss to the mad shahugian king.

1. They are amphibians.
2. They never built the place - it was elves (drow probably) and you can even hear a clue to that from someone there
3. And why they live in air if they don't really need it? They must have it to keep surfacers alive so they can get fresh meat later. I.e. remember that Ettin you fought there?

GOTCHA! :cool:

Also, don't forget the plot would be a bit lame if you all died at that point in the adventure :rolleyes:

j/k

As an after thought, which concept was made public first - the Gunguns underwater air buble city for creatures that can breath water in 'The Phantom Menace' or the one for the Sharkmen of BG2?

I have pundered about that one too. Lucas wrote all his scripts back in the 70'ties. So he claims. He felt compelled to skipping the first three and made the movie "episode IV. A new hope".

I don't know if Bioware had a sneek peak in t´he filmmaking or his manuscripts. But both were developed in 2000. Considering that The Gungan city is a major plot it must have taken ages to incorporate the work in the movie. And the Shahugian City seems to me as a somewhat impulsive sidetreck/storyline. And it can't have taken very long to make, next to "the Phantom mennace".
I think Bioware borrowed it.

[This message has been edited by Nobleman (edited June 01, 2001).]

If anyone did borrow it was probably Bioware I agree. However, when Lucas says he wrote the scripts in the 70's it has to be rembered that they have changed considerably. I think they were more of an outline of the main rising falling redeeming hero thing (Vader).

So much got changed even as the films were being made (especially SWIV). If I remember correctly it was originally intended that Obiwan would not be killed. Also the ewoks were originally going to be wookies I think.

Anyway, my point is, I would be surprised if he had the whole underwater thing in the 70s (maybe). It was more likely he just had the idea of a technically inferior race living with the Naboo (if he even had that level of detail and assuming it has remained unchanged).

Oh well, if Lucas had any sense of duty, he would be posting on these boards to let us know :D

You are a much wiser man than me Slappy. I foresee You'll become a great Sage one day.

lol, It's amazing the rubbish you pick up when you've been a fan for so long (since seing the original as an 11 year old). Playing the roleplaying game with loads of resource books form West End Games helped as does having two enclyopedias (one in book form anothe on CD) and buying various comics and most of the books over they years.

I guess you have various Starwars links but just in case:
http://www.starwars.com/ http://www.dhorse.com/sw/ http://starwars.hasbro.com/low/low.htm http://www.stwing.upenn.edu/starwars/
etc etc

I haven't been to some of them for quite a while so I don't know if they are current.

You are truly a linkmaster and I appreciate Your work. Even though I am Totally addicted to the SW universe I haven't quite progressed this to the the Internet:

Here is a little diary of my visits to Your links:

First visit http://www.starwars.com/
This link I felt an urge to visit first. A lot of info. Almost overwhelming, Great place. I going back there tomorrow.

Second visit. http://www.dhorse.com/sw/
Boy did I get confused. I was transfered through numerous of places.all saying that dark horse had moved. My slow connection gave me several popup pictures. Fun to watch at, while the progress bar advanced slower than any "chinchikka fastpawn".

I finally dug my way to this place http://www.tfaw.com/ where I could beat up BLIP a webpage mascot. I beat him up just as a gesture to their slow webpage loading time.
Anyway from this page I could choose a SW link. But sadly enough I got an error message 404. Phewww! thank god it wasn't a 405.... :D I'll try and solve this puzzle tomorrow

3rd visit. http://starwars.hasbro.com/low/low.htm
My server couldn't find this page. Tough luck

My 4th and last visit was all the waiting time worth. This link provides You with an exceptional realistic experience of making a failed Hyperspace jump. Truly worth a visit. Try it out http://www.stwing.upenn.edu/starwars/

Enough SW jibberish. And Again thanks for the Links Slappy.

:( /me bows his head in shame. I can only apologise for not checking they were up to date. I was being harrased in the chat room by Extremist ;) is my feeble excuse. I will try and look at some of my other links to see which are worthwhile and post them.

EDITED

As promised updated working links: http://www.starwars.com/ http://starwars.hasbro.com/ http://www.emperorshammer.org/index1.htm http://www.darkhorse.com/starwars/index.html http://www.stwing.upenn.edu/starwars/rpg/ http://www.geocities.com/Area51/Shadowlands/4504/ http://www.ccraig.org/everything.html

These should all be ok, I have just checked them :)


[This message has been edited by Slappy (edited June 01, 2001).]

Hmmm Slappy, it wasn't my trick to get your links master crown to Nobleman...

However, I love info posts from both of you, so don't start a fight. Do your job as good as you always have.

Extremist, offcourse it was, competition often brings good results ;)
I bet you have planned this waaaaay back.

And why these sharkdudes live in a dome, hmm, dunno, I think the theory of capturing mortals makes sense

I am not at all mad at Slappy. Its impossible to get mad at such a pleasant person. I did take very lightly at the problems encountered. As You migt have read from the post. :D

Did You visit that Hyperjump page ;)

I think my question has been answered satisfactory and wise by extremist. Auwww Did You have to do it? :D I must be even more inventive in my 400th post.
Ponder.Ponder.Ponder

Oh well here is the winner.
3. And why they live in air if they don't really need it? They must have it to keep surfacers alive so they can get fresh meat later

:D Smashing baby. Smashing

EDITED HERE: I must talk a look at that chatroom someday. Boy it needs some Javaapplet downloading on my side though

[This message has been edited by Nobleman (edited June 01, 2001).]

Nobleman, you shold really get in the chatroom, though I would advise not to use the JAVA thingy if you wcould avoid it.
I have a great deal of experience in mIRC, which is the best program around to access the channel. You can find link just below this post and I will be happy to help you through any problems you might encounter (hope I dont sign up on to much though)


[This message has been edited by Lokken (edited June 01, 2001).]

Nobleman, download mIRC!
http://www.mirc.com/

Oh dear Lord grant me strenght. The Truth is I am stuck behind a firewall. I've dowloaded mIRC. ... not too shabby aye? None of the two servers can connect. Bummer. I think its my college-firewall. But I get by... I hope.. Just have a heck of fun in there, guys. And I'll help Newbies in here.
This reminds me of Wayyyyyyy back. Oh no I sound Like Golodon. Cheers mates.


Hey I might be called an idiot but I am not a complete fumblefingercomputerantifreak. Yes Yes I am rambling. I was called an idiot in this post anyways :D http://www.sorcerers.net/ubb/Forum2/HTML/002617.html

EDITED HERE:

Updated Diary on Slappy's links.

1.st visit. http://starwars.hasbro.com/
man...... I must be sitting by the MR.Magoo of servers. It can't find anything. I almost lost my hopes. But Patience is a virtue.

2nd-6thVisit. Yummie. Everything else worked. Startling. It must have been devine influence.

7th visit. http://www.ccraig.org/everything.html
This is a total laughoManic place. Especially rule numer 179. Dedicated to Extremist in his new troll form:
179.Sometimes it is smart to listen to little green Muppets.

Dont worry I'll find one for You Lokken and You too Slappy.
By all means Thanks For Your updated links. At least now I have something to do while You chat :D :p
