Wow, it's been a long, long time, actually been two years, wasn't just that I had a massive writer's block for this story, had school, got more into writing short original sci-fi, now, I got something down, I won't lie and say this will be a constant, but I'll try and keep 2 years the longest Hiatus this story will ever see.
I still don't own anything, now on with the show:
152. I know that there are some officers who make the mistake of telling troopers to follow the manual "to the letter" in complete ignorance to how horribly that will go, and following the book to the letter gets to be especially funny when the damn editor for the thing forgot to put "or above" in the instructions, but you quit being a smartass and became a dumbass the moment you tried to do this to LORD VADER, and lets just say he didn't find it so funny.
153. Look, as a mother of four I know more then most how hard it can be to discipline kids, but when your 'most valuable son' grows up thinking he can do no wrong you've gone to far, the fact that he made no less then FIVE major fuck ups and the Moff couldn't even say anything was a damning testament to them both, and when it got them both on a space station with a reactor going critical… No tears were shed for those two.
154. Unnecessary violence against children in front of their parents… as a mother, I can tell you one thing: Do you want to make an enemy for life that will take the earliest opportunity to make your death as slow and agonizingly painful as possible for beating her babies? No? THEN DON'T DO THIS!
155. Unnecessary violence against children in general is also a big no. there are few ways to ruin a relationship between a planet and the base faster then this. Your practically serving as free propaganda for the rebels.
156. Saying "You won't shoot me" is something I never will understand. I think it's based off this idea that the rebels won't do dishonourable things (something I have repeatedly shown to be LIES). I will say, people who say this stupid thing always have the funniest look on their face when they get proven wrong.
157. False Flags, I've always been of the opinion that False Flags are an unnecessary risk. The Rebels will inevitably do something horrible; all a false flag does is create a potential PR nightmare, but this guy took the cake. He had the false flag blow up his own speeder WHILE HE WAS RIDING IT!… I… I got nothing.
158. Warrior Cultures suck to fight against. Mandalorians, they always talk a big game and the galaxy always hypes them up, and to be honest, it isn't all just a damn good PR department, they are tough individuals and quite a few of my former (key emphasis on former) got to learn this the hard way.
159 Warrior Cultures suck to fight alongside. Sounds Paradoxical, but its definitely a case of the grass being greener on the other side of the fence; Mandalorians may have this whole great thing about their individual skill, but they utterly suck at anything involving teamwork; hell, it's how we beat them. Now, while the idea of having such an elite soldier fight alongside you might seem like something that can only be good, the truth is much more disappointing, I've never had soldiers that are bigger liabilities then Mandalorians; no covering fire, no coordinated targeting, going off on their own and overextending right into rebel ambushes, they never shut the fuck up about how something is "the way", and they are some of the biggest blaster-fire magnets I've ever seen. It's honestly a miracle (or a curse) that they have survived this long in the galaxy.
160. attacking a world in ignorance, this was one of my first 'That Moff' tale, though I was a more distant participant in this one; back when I was in the Imperial Army, some genius thought that this one planet that had been independent even in the days of the Old Republic, would be an excellent place to make an example of and sent the forces of the empire (including my Corps) to subjugate the planet, 18 months, a fully rebellious planet, thousands of Imperial Army and Navy casualties, several damaged Star Destroyers and a dozen or so destroyed escorts later, Lord Vader and the 501st were called in to end this conflict and salvage the empire's reputation in the sector, after a little over a month and a half of more fighting Lord Vader personally disembowelled the Moff who started this war with a world that was more like a fortress then a planet. If your gonna try and make an example of someone, make sure that you can actually take them on.
no trivia this time, and if you want to help fight against my writer's block then feel free to comment your own suggestions.
