Heroes on Both Sides-A Star Wars Election/Diplomacy/Strategy Game (Interest/Rules/Discussion Thread)

Given this is the Clone Wars...is Anakin Skywalker available?

I'd love to prevent Darth Vader from happening if I can.

The way the game functions, each character will serve as a leader of a faction with political/military influence of some sorts. As Anakin is just a Jedi Padawan at the moment, he isn't available. But alternatively, you could register as Yoda and control the Jedi Council, which would give you control over Jedi operations, including Anakin Skywalker.

Darn it. Can't do Yoda. Writing his speech in character would be a nightmare, and that's polite.

Ah, screw it. If no one else has Palpatine I'll take him. Being a mad, cackling, evil Sith Lord will be fun for me.

Question that both KaiserDave and I both want answered (since we are interested in playing as Palpatine). At this point in the Clone Wars, is Order 66 a thing?

The game will start at the formation of the Separatist Alliance, two years before the onset of The Clone Wars. At this point, the vast majority of the Clone army is still not ready for combat and their existence is still unknown to the Jedi. However the inhibitor chips which allowed Order 66 were implanted at birth and can be activated at any time.

Thank you for the info.

As stated before, I would like to play as Palpatine. If KaiserDave would prefer to have him, I'd be interested in Padme Amidala. I know she's not listed, but she's a very important Senator, in addition to being secretly married to Anakin Skywalker...

I would also note that Padme is a member of the Core Faction in the Galactic Senate, and would be an option to choose for faction leader during the game.

Very well. My preference is still Palpatine though, but I'd be open to Core Faction (Padme) too.

I will take the Core Faction leader

So my thinking is since NYE seems more interested in the character of Padme than the Core Faction specifically, we can perhaps place Padme in the Rim Faction. Her faction has never been explicitly stated in Canon or in Legends, and while I did have some writing plans for Padme within the Core Faction, she can easily be replaced by Mon Mothma. This would also open up new potential political conflicts within the Rim Faction to be resolved in gameplay.

So in this scenario DC would take the Core Faction, NYE would get the Rim Faction with Padme and Dave would get Palpatine. This sound good to everyone?

That would be acceptable to me.

I have to admit, I'm snickering at the fact we are actually getting translations of Yoda-speak.

[NewYorkExpress]

I feel translations are not needed as it's not like Yoda's speech is that hard to understand.

Did you only watch Return of the Jedi/the entire sequel series?

Yoda is impossible to understand for us normal earthlings.
