Those are the first two suggestions off the top of my head. LOL Oh right, the point of this thread. I agree with this. You can make competitive squads without playing competitivly. Or just take a break and play some fun stuff that you've been wanting to play...If it's not fun then why bother is what I say!!

I think that's pretty highly debateable. To the point where I don't want to, because it leads to circular arguments and bad feelings and such. Good point!! No hard feelings, its just a movie!!  I still say it was all part of his master plan tho, he didn't come that far only to lose it to the likes of Mace and the others because Ani ratted him out....that would just be silly.  I think, and admittedly, this may be a stretch, but it's one of the few places I let EU effect my thinking of the movies in a major way, but, I think Sid did make short work of Fisto and the gang(who were not Jedi masters, mind you) then hit a wall he didn't expect when it came to Mace "I may already be tainted by the darkside" "Vapaad" "Sam Mofo Jackson" Windu. Who was the first person we'd seen (to borrow RPG turns) Rebuke, force lightning in such a way that it mattered. Turning it straight back onto palpatine. (For whatever reason, I seriously don't think Palp's meant to deform himself, he just adapted the situation to his needs, Xanatos speed chess style.) I always took "The Power!" to be Sidious surging with Dark Side energy again, after turning Ani, essentially. He was powerful then, but Ani's destiny, and the events at hand, conspired to make the already formidable Darth Sidious, into the most powerful force user in the galaxy for a time. If you really want to get Technical, Yoda was winning until he took that 100+ foot drop onto his spine, a point where most people would make their retreat, lol.

All of the Jedi Sid fights in that scene are masters.

He was being placed on the council without the title of Master...he says to Obi, (?)"How can you be on the council without being a Master"??

Im sorry, but Mace had Palps number from the drop. has anyone read the darth Bane Books by Drew Kyrpshan (however you spell it....), in "The Rule of Two", at the end, he deep fries himself in his own Lightning (yes, he did have the orbalisks on his skin, and apparently they "couldnt" be killed.) but he almost dies. palps was a very cunning sith lord, as far as tactics go anyway. He didnt know Ani was going to show up, and if Ani Didnt show up, Sid woulda been Toast....literally. i dont think he had the constitution to to stay alive much longer while Mace "In YO Face" Windu was hitting him with his own lightning. it seems to me in SW, the most damage sith do with their Lightning, they due unto themselves.

I think Sidious' whole thing was the Xanatos trap. He put alot of faith in Ani and his own plans, risking all to gain a little. It worked out in the end for him, but alot of things were close calls, especially in Ep. III.

I don't really believe that Palps is going to fry himself to death. If it was truly hurting, hurting to the point that it's going to kill him, I think he would stop, allow Mace to "arrest" him and then use his political clout to have the charges dropped and implicate the Jedi in the senate. Sid committing suicide???  EDIT: Sid needed Ani to see what the Jedi were "really" about, about them being power hungry, corrupt etc.... Remember, when Mace decides that its to dangerous to keep him alive, Ani says "you can't" the Jedi don't do that. Murder!! Then he says "I need him" and thats when Mace goes to deliver a "final" blow and ANi cuts the arm off yadda yadda yadda....

As a contrary viepoint to Sid (and his students) being mildly suicidal, I'd like to point out the fighting style, or Ani, and Darth Maul.
Anakin knew full well what happens when you try and jump over Obi-Wan. You get split in half. It certainly didn't stop him from giving it the old college try. (As well as that worked out for him.)
I tend to look at it like "The Jedi's vision gets clouded by the dark side" "The sith vision gets clouded by internal rage"
S'why the Jensarrai are better anyway.(this is a joke.)

I don't understand the sentiment that landshark's opinion is somehow endangering the future of SWMs. What he put forth isn't all that negative in the first place. Do you really think his opinion was violating the terms of agreement for this board? come onnnnnnnnnnnn...
