Star Wars Guessing Game

A-Wing?

Close, but no cigar

Clue number 2

I lay down to land and stand up to fight

Is it often found hanging onto the back of Imperial Star Destroyers waiting for garbage to be released prior to jumping to light speed, so it can make a clandestine departure?

Wasn't that the B-wing fighter ?

Or the Slave 1 (of Jango/Boba Fett) ?

These both laid down to land and stood up to fight ...

:huh:

(brief parathesis in the game to address V's 'out-loud thought' which we all could share) :

Which is all very well if eventually they learn the lesson about quality, not quantity...only I'm not sure that that lesson actually is always being learnt.

So it's not people's post counts that concern me (as post counts are fairly irrelevant to...well...everything) so much as whether a few people are actually taking the wrong message away from participating (i.e. "I can use the game to make my post count will go up" rather than "I'll just enjoy playing the game and take part in the game as and when the mood takes me").

I wouldn't (and couldn't) ban the games, you don't need to worry about that...I was just kinda thinking out loud...

This had crossed my mind too, honestly, for my own post count went up by quite a lot during the Word Flow game (I am a poet, after all ...), but then I noticed that most of us taking part in the games are in fact the same ones of us participating seriously in the forum discussions -- you, myself, Sean, Sajjad, RyuJin, Proteus &c ... Have we actually noticed other members who do not post making use of the games to "boost" a count that really doesn't earn anything ? It is just the site counting 'things' really.

:dry: :huh:

Secondly, on the question of quality, I surely prefer seeing a convivial participation in a game than languishing through some of the 1500-word essays we've seen in forum "disputes" which go on for 27 pages (as opposed to forum 'debates' -- of course I'm exaggerating, but you know the ones I'm on about here), or the relentless Sith/light-dark discussions or whether we are going to build a temple building ...

Me too, just thinking out loud ~

How many guesses do we get even? ha

Milleniun Falcon?

And in regard to the post count in game thing, you can sort of tell quickly what sort of person they are by visiting their account, for example, mine is mostly game play at the moment, (not looking too good there i guess, ) but in my defence my account dosen't show what I've looked at in TOTJO and enjoyed reading. I might not post in the serious decussions but it doesn't mean i and others don't look at all at them!
Best wishes

So, anyway ? ... back to the game !

Has anyone got the answer to the question right so far ?

I would like to ask my question, but not until the current one (and V's rant) is done.

It was the b wing fighter....although ....you did sneak in two guesses in one post....I wondered how many would think of slave 1...

As to post count.....I don't even pay attention to it

To be honest, Ryu, with regard to the post count (although what I said was true -- I did think about that), it was just sort of to kick V's mickey a bit. All in good fun, to be sure ...

Here's my question :

What could be possibly measured at 2²³ GW ?

Probably too easy, but I'm a lightweight ...
