Try your local municipal court, barflyer. They generally spell things out pretty well. If that doesn’t satisfy your need for rigor, then fuck off. That’s my advice.

Oh, there’s other stuff, this was mostly off the top of my head. And, don’t forget, that this is the Pit. I’ll allow stuff here that I wouldn’t allow in other forums. I don’t allow joke or game threads here, because they get out of hand WAY too easily. What other guidelines did you have in mind?

That’s pretty much the reactions you’d get from the Enterprise and a Star Destroyer, respectively.

And t’hell with the Hickville Invasion… they can all shove Death Stars up their asses and felch Jabba the Hutt, as far as I’m concerned.
