So I've been thinking: Does that name mean: 1) the spaceships destroy the stars? or 2) they're like modern-day Destroyers (the ships that chase submarines) and they fly around in the stars?
-
I think they sound cool.
-
it's a reference to really bad movies that end careers for famous actors
seriously, given that they can't actually destroy stars....
-
Well, you know how a starship is a ship that travels the stars? A star destroyer is a destroyer (eg: a heavy military vessel) that travels the stars.
-
They were based on technology invented in the sixteen war against hollywood.
-
Speak of the devil. Today's PA has just such ships in it.

Though it dosen't answer any of Mustard's questions.
-
Wow, that whole business with the account bannings is fascinating.
-
it is actualy. SOE is kinda stuck inbetween a rock and a hardplace on that one. But I think the better way would to be just delete all the cash.
-
The thing is, Star Destroyers are actually the big boys of the star wars universe. Until the Mon Cal 90 came along. So why they are given the names of light escort vessels, other than cool name, is beyond me.
I vote in favour of something.
-
I vote in favor of using American spellings.
-
I vote in favour of fire.
-
I vote in favor of both the above: the burning of those who insist on using the vestigal "u"
-
Ok, I have to do this.
I voute.
-
But if I had to vote twice...I think that for destruction ice is also great, and would suffice.
-
yes ice is nice, and will suffice, if you eat rice, or are named Brice, in a trice.
-
The solution is still fire.
-
I take offense at that.
-
Flame wars. Heh.
-
I take offense at that, too.
-
I just take offense from you. any time I can.
-
I'm offended that you don't seem to be taking my offense seriously.
-
That's kind of the point
-
Well, man, I'm just getting offended left and right. Perhaps I'll threaten to leave the boards, since I can see no one wuvs me.
*Curls up in the corner and cries.
-
Now now cheer up Mustard, I am willing to bet that nobody has ever "wuvved you" so you shouldn't let it get you down now. By the way I have been known to disguise insults as consolation.
-
Can't curl up in the corner - Platform wars is still hanging around down there, for whatever reason. Best add fire.
-
Don't tell me you guys got the Bugs Bunny allusion and missed the Robert Frost? I suppose I should expect that from you plebeians.
-
rabbit season!
-
Poet season!
-
The only thing is that the poets can shoot back. By the time you counted up the bodies, the hunting wouldnt be worth it.
-
have you read a lot of poetry...?
Because even if you killed a handful of poets, it'd be worth it...
-
A decent amount yes, and I disagree. If you actually look you should be able to find whatever you want, violent poetry, happy poetry, free verse, or rhyming. Oh and also I think the comment about poet season was directed towards me and the people that posted in poetry and such. And I meant the bodies of the hunters. First person to come through my door dies. Bang!
-
thats why we rigged your house to explode!
(and I generally like poetry, but poets are worth more dead than alive)
-
a) I was playing on the Bugs Bunny reference AND the earlier Robert Frost allusion. YOu DID know he was a poet, right? I was staying in context and not even thinking about bad teenage poetry. But now that you mention it....
b) Stop taking things so personally, and you'll get along on the board much better. Learn to recognize when people, like myself or Jeffe are just joking around. No one is advocating the actual murder of anyone, poet or not.
c) Ninja Monkeys don't come through the door. You're unlikely to stop them.
