Are the chat channels not universal over the different servers?

Only two other EU guild members responded in the 'i pre-ordered' thread. So i hope we'll be able to play on the same server.

Cool, thanks much for the info. :)

I think this recipe idea is great, here is the recipe for the traditional Irish potato dish called "Champ" with my own unique twist. Enjoy!

Ingredients
Serves: 4

1kg (2 1/4 lb) potatoes, peeled and halved
250ml (8 fl oz) milk
1 bunch spring onions (called scallions in Ireland), thinly sliced
1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste
50g (2 oz) butter
freshly ground black pepper to taste
1 bottle of vodka or other spirit
1 bottle of coke
1 straw
1 cocktail umbrella


Preparation method
Prep:15 mins | Cook:25 mins

1. Place potatoes into large pot and fill with enough water to cover. Bring to the boil and cook until tender, about 20 minutes.

2. Drain well. Return to very low heat and allow the potatoes to dry out for a few minutes. (It helps if you place a clean tea towel over the potatoes to absorb any remaining moisture.)

3. Meanwhile, heat the milk and spring onions gently in a saucepan until warm.

4. Mash the potatoes, salt and butter together until smooth. Stir in the milk and spring onion until evenly mixed. Season with freshly ground black pepper. Serve piping hot in bowls. Set out some extra butter for individuals to add to their servings.

5. Pour a large measure of Vodka in to a glass, add coke, umbrella and straw. Drink and repeat until you forget to eat the champ. Remember to have a pizza menu handy for later.

6. As you have gotten drunk instead of eating, you can fry the cold champ the next morning in a pan with some eggs as a hangover cure.

Oh, I've got some good recipies...But I need to write them up since they're a bit over the top (My dad was a professional chef so I don't cook simple food...haha!)

Almost forgot here's my Recipe for Blue Cheese Guacamole:

2 Large Ripe Avocados

1 cup crumbled Roquefort Blue Cheese

1/4 cup sour cream

2 tablespoons finely sliced scallions

1/4 cup jarred sliced pickled green jalapenos (or mini gherkins if you don't like spicy)

1/4 teaspoon paprika or cayenne pepper

Just mash it all up in a chilled bowl and serve with chips or "crisps" as our British brethren say lol

Unless Bioware make it so you have to choose either EU or US servers, but can't have both, I plan to have characters on both sides of the Atlantic. I hope that will make it easier for the KoS and LoS guilds to function, as then we can have more that one designated guild server for our worldwide group and we can hold events on any of them, we just have to pick one in advance.

I know it would be great if we could all be on the same server all the time, but if there are lag issues for the Europeans or Austrailians then we could just play on our local guild server until the lag issue resolves. We also have Vent and the IRC channel to chat in if we are on different servers at times, and I'm sure we can come up with an even more user friendly way of chatting online with guild mates on other servers once the game launches.

Hi Jason. Yes you should still get the early access code with a staff discount and as you will need it before the game is shipped, they should email it to you. In most cases with games, the product key is what you input on your SW:TOR profile page to unlock any special features assigned to that particular copy of the game. However, that is usually on the manual and so retailers who provide early access as a pre-order bonus have to ensure you can access that special feature before you get the manual. They should either send you the product key early or a seperate code just for early access. Check every email they send you from now on incase the code is somewhere at the bottom.

I have found that some retailers forget to send out these codes as not all the games they sell need early access, so if you still haven't received a code in the week before early access begins, email their customer services department with a request. I had to do that for Star Trek Online with Amazon UK.

Looks like BioWare already has this planned. It appears that during Phase 3 "Deployment" that they will assign the guild to a server that meets the Guild's setup (RP, PVP, Allied Guilds, etc).
So the EU part of this guild will end up on a US server. I hope it will be a mixed EU/US server.

Question: My BF's best friend is a manager at Gamestop so I was going to make use of his employee discount to get the collectors edition. Would I still get an early access code, how would I or the person reserving it for me get that code? Would it be emailed?

Then you will be glad to hear that when i get back to the top of the master list later this month i will start phase 2. Any of you that were paying attention have noticed that i changed some of my early posts in the thread to month lists. I will be editing these as well, giving more and more details on people already in the list. Probably just one or two lines a year per person but it will add up.

2 for today.

That Romulan Ale recipe is amazing...from the Space Bar at the Hilton in Las Vegas...Doogie and I had too many last year and no one tried to stop us! *looks at Mark*

Oh those were soooo good. I had a couple last year too and they let me take them up to the pool. I don't remember much after that :ohmy:

I'll be doing the pre-order this week. My BF's best friend is a manager at Gamestop so I'm making use of his employee discount for the collectors edition lol.

I still prefer my Raptor, Bops just dont have the awesome.

Universal boff stations say BoPs to have the awesome.

A real warrior can win with no stations at all. Besides, who wants to fly metallic pigeons. :S

I will be so happy to see more interest in the Klink side, the grinding aside its really (in my opinion) more of a strategic playstyle-the cloaking and all. It would be good to get more ppl into the BoP's they hate so much on the fed side, so they can see its not all cheese and wine, but really quite fun.

loS cha’maH strode down one of the main hallways of the Great House of Nagh reD, his boots landing heavily on the floor’s hard surface. As reinforced leather hit cold stone, metal jingled on medal as his various commendations struck each other and the sash upon which they were hung. Other members of the House took note as he quickly moved toward the main hall, knowing full well what was about to transpire. One could always tell when a fight was on the horizon, be it physical, political, or both. On Qo'nos, the line between them tended to be quite blurry.

“Pandering to your superiors again, Nedec!?” growled loS as he marched into the main hall.

Others in the room turned to look at the Klingon to which loS was speaking, who in turn shot a look at his accuser. Nedec bared his teeth ever so slightly as loS approached. The elder Klingon to which Nedec had been speaking, on the other hand, calmly greeted loS with a nod.

“loS, my son. I trust our House’s warriors are benefiting once again from your instruction?”

loS looked at his father, k’Elee, with a wry grin. “Indeed. I have paired them off for combat and told them that anyone who escapes without a mark to show for it will have the honor of engaging me in combat.”

k’Elee belted out a loud laugh. “A reward for skill as well as a punishment for cowardice! Excellent idea.”

“Thank you, father,” responded loS with a nod. “I plan to have this House’s warriors be truly ready to stand against the enemies of the Empire. It’s true enemies. Not the false sparring strawmen set up by the fools in the High Council that terrify still even greater fools.”

Nedec’s eyes widened at the obvious insult. “You are a fine one to talk of cowardice, cousin! You bark at ghosts in the night, like a scared targ! Sometimes I think that those borgh took your honor when they took half your face.”

“Enough!” barked k’Elee. “Another day, another child’s quarrel. If you must fight, fight like true Klingon warriors and not bickering rodents.”

“Gladly,” growled loS. Nedec stared at loS and, with a dismissive wave, stalked off.

“You are not worth cleaning my bat’leth over,” he said as he stalked away, angered at having his time with the House’s elder interrupted once again.

loS took a step toward Nedec’s retreating figure, but his father’s firm hand on his chest stopped him.

“Let him go, Rok’tar. He has fled the field. It is as well. I was growing tired of him and his incessant need to be our House’s personal mouthpiece for the Chancellor. Come. I have something I wish to discuss with you.”

loS glared in the direction Nedec had exited before turning to follow k’Elee. The pair walked from the room down one of the House’s more solitary hallways. After they were some distance from the main hall, and its many ears, k’Elee spoke.

“The Federation confuses many in the Empire. Even when the Federation and the Empire fought alongside each other, many viewed them as cowards, despite the many honorable people that fill the ranks of Starfleet. I have helped to make this House see the honor and value in the Federation, but these views have had little traction elsewhere. You know this.”

loS nodded. “Yes. Even before the breaking of the Khitomer Accords, I found myself at odds with most when it came to Starfleet. Many of them are simply foolish children, seeings only rivals to be crushed for what they falsely believe to be honor. Even now, when we have a true threat... a true enemy that would bring honor in fighting, many are blind to it.”

k’Elee looked at his son, his eyes looking at the large slab of metal that obscured the right side of his face and the conspicuous lack of hair on his head.

“Honor takes many forms to many people. For some, it is in combat. For others, it is in victory. And for us...”

“... it is in securing the security and glory of the Empire,” finished loS. “Many would agree with you.”

“But few understand. And even less understand the way you do, Rok’tar, for they have not suffered the lesson you have.”

loS gave a low growl as his father’s comment drew his attention once more to the metal on his face.

“Our Empire wastes its time fighting reptiles and diplomats. There are far greater threats to our Empire. However, the cowards and fools in the Council refuse to see it. Even now, with their return on the edges of Federation space, the High Council either fails to see... or wishes not to.”

At this, k’Elee ceased his walk. loS stopped as well and looked back at his father.

“Rok’tar, the borgh are indeed a worthy foe and a threat to not be taken lightly. However, do not let them blind you to all others. The borgh already took one of your eyes. Do not let them take the other.”

From anyone else, this would have enraged loS. However, when it came from his father, loS found the advice already burrowing itself in his mind. k’Elee grinned at the pensive look on his son’s face and began walking again.

“Return to your students, Rok’tar. I have matters I must attend to.”

“Yes, father!” barked loS before marching back toward the field where he had left his students. However, even as he looked out at the martial chaos and grinned at the fierceness his charges were still showing after exhaustive combat, he found himself still pondering what his father had meant.

Meanwhile, Nedec had found his way back to his chambers and was now pacing back and forth as he spoke to a woman who had been waiting for him there.

“That targ of the Federation refuses to listen. It will mean the downfall of this House. That fool and his son do not see the way the winds are shifting. This ridiculous position of theirs is growing more unpopular with each passing day. Soon our House will be the laughing stock of Qo’nos!”

The woman, for her part, smiled and crossed her arms. Her lips parted to show her teeth as the leather of her clothes groaned.

“I have told you what you must do, Nedec.”

“Easier said than done. I am no coward, but I also am no fool. Taking this House would be an errand in meaningless death. I need men and weapons to accomplish this task, neither of which I think you have access to.”

“Men, no. Weapons... that is another story. I can provide you with a weapon far sharper than any bat’leth could ever hope to be. k’Elee has already made himself an easy target. With what I can give you... you need only cut once... and he will fall down at your feet.”

Nedec gave the woman a skeptical look. “Even if that were true, the right to rule this House would go to that corrupted cousin of mine before it would ever come to me. And were I to strike him down in combat for that right, the rest of this House would make that victory very short-lived for me. He is far too popular within these walls and with those students of his.”

The woman chuckled as she drew a datapad from her vest. “Oh, somehow I think that after you use this... loS will no longer be a problem. That man will hang himself by his father’s limp, lifeless limbs.”

Nedec grabbed the datapad and quickly looked over it. As he read, his smile grew larger and larger, until finally his laughter could be heard echoing past the door and into the halls of the Great House of Nagh reD.

Great job with keeping this up-to-date, Sean!
