Re: Mysteries of the Sith
Hey. Yeah, I've played it. I can't remember any mention of Sith magic in the game, though. "The dark side", lots of it, but "Sith magic&hellip;" There are those weird Sith Jedi Statues that come to life somehow, but how they accomplish this is never explained in the game, and the game manual is quite vague on that subject. Here's the relevant quote from the manual: "Eternal guardians of the Sith temples, the statues are animated by trespassing beings, whose Force energy powers their stone bodies." Hope that helps.

Knight Errant
Here ya go, Tommy. Real interested in this series, can't wait to join WP:TSW once it comes out!-- 20:48, July 7, 2010 (UTC)

Re: Sith Magic
Looking through, I've found two instances that may be of interest to you. on the HoloNet page for Dromund Kaas, it mentions that "the Emperor spent great energy discovering and perfecting esoteric rites of darkness – rituals that wrecked the atmosphere of Dromund Kaas, transforming the ionosphere into a swirling electric storm." And here, on the Empire page, it says he "undertook dark rituals which prolonged his life and his undisputed rule." It never specifically uses the term "Sith Magic," but this may fit the description. I haven't read all through the article yet, but it looks great thus far. Hope this helps! Darth Trayus ( Trayus Academy ) 22:17, July 7, 2010 (UTC)
 * Also&mdash;and I'm not sure if this will be of any interest to you&mdash;Timeline 7: Peace for the Republic? has information on Naga Sadow's possession of Eison Gynt. I noticed you made note of Sadow's suspension and Andeddu's transfer essence ability, so maybe this is in some way relevant. Again, hope that helps. Darth Trayus ( Trayus Academy ) 03:47, July 8, 2010 (UTC)
 * It seems you already got the placement for the Timeline&mdash;for future reference, any TOR stuff goes between KotOR and NSW. The timelines can get a little confusing, but only if you have other TOR material to place them with. As for the two holonet pages&mdash;I placed them at the bottom of the sources list. These pages (similar to how the Databank pages should be) are going to be updated continually from what I can tell. I've been treating them like Databank pages in that regard, and putting them on the bottom of the list. However, if you would like to have them placed chronologically according to their release, the only change you would have to make is moving the Empire page above the Atlas.

Sith Magic
I've noticed all you hard work on the Sith magic article. Are you trying to make it into a GA? Because it looks good! --Gmalek ( The ability to edit does not make you intelligent ) 23:19, July 7, 2010 (UTC)
 * I don't know of any, but if I come across examples of it, I will. Let me know when you nominate it. You have one guaranteed vote! --Gmalek ( The ability to edit does not make you intelligent ) 23:08, July 8, 2010 (UTC)

Re: Sith Magic

 * Hmm, I'll definitely get back to you on that. I believe it's in TSL, as well, though I'm not certain. I'l go over the article and let you know.-- 17:39, July 8, 2010 (UTC)
 * OK, would the Sith Master's attempted resurrection of Freedon Nadd count as an application of Sith magic? In KotOR II, four Sith Masters perform a ritual near the sarcophagus in Nadd's tomb on Dxun, when the Exile's companions interrupt them, the leader says, "Break the ritual now." I'll let you know if I come across anything else.-- 17:47, July 8, 2010 (UTC)
 * According to his entry in the KotOR CG, Darth Malak also used Sith sorcery.-- 18:07, July 8, 2010 (UTC)

Novar
Hey Tommy. You voted for the Novar nom, but you forgot to strike one of the objections. Could you get that when you have the chance? Cheers,  IFYLOFD  ( Floyd's crib ) 00:58, July 9, 2010 (UTC)

Keto
Hey, Tommy. I'm now done with Keto. I didn't want there to be an edit conflict. I'm online and will be for a few more moments if you want to chat on IRC. Have a good one. &mdash; Fiolli  {Alpheridies University ComNet} 02:12, July 14, 2010 (UTC)

Sith magic
The article is looking pretty sweet! An idea for the infobox: what would you think about spliting up the notable practitioners by era? It just strikes me as a more useful way of presenting them. The infobox might require some customization to do it, but that is manageable. For an idea of what I mean, have a look at the Atrivis sector infobox. In the battles section, I split the GCW battles into separate BBY and ABY fields. I was thinking you could have separate fields for OR, Imp, Reb/NR eras. It would break up the long list... --Eyrezer 05:34, July 16, 2010 (UTC)

New Project Lead for KotOR
'lo Tommy. I was wondering whether you would support a change in leadership of KotOR from Cylka to Jedi Kasra. Cylka is a great user, but she hasn't been around for quite some time now. I believe new leadership is needed, and Kasra is our most active member. Let me know what you think. Thanks, SoresuMakashi ( Everything I tell you is a lie  the truth  ) 22:21, July 18, 2010 (UTC)
 * I liked your suggestion on Soresu's talk page, Tommy. Just wanted to let you know that, if they decide to make me lead of WP:KOTOR, I'd give back the role to Cylka when she does come back. I actually told Soresu this here.-- 01:51, July 20, 2010 (UTC)
 * Thanks, then the Chief Editor I'll be. I'll let the guys know, and will assume that position immediately. I haven't been able to come on IRC though, which prevents me from holding any meetings. But I guess I can talk to the members on here, like normal. And they can always e-mail me. Thanks for your help, Tommy.-- 02:06, July 20, 2010 (UTC)
 * Well, it's a little late for a proper response now, I suppose. Anyway, as Kasra said above, he had always planned on giving Cyl leadership back if she wanted to return at any time. This Chief Editor thing should work well as a compromise. SoresuMakashi ( Everything I tell you is a lie  the truth  ) 09:04, July 20, 2010 (UTC)

Re: Request
I remember seeing it on Lostworlds. Here it is: That might be sufficient, but just in case you could say "According to Lostworlds..." Xicer9 ( Combadge) 20:36, July 19, 2010 (UTC)

Re: At last
The time has come&hellip; everything is proceeding as we have foreseen. Jonjedigrandmaster ( Talk ) 22:19, July 20, 2010 (UTC)
 * Ready when you are. Let's do this. Jonjedigrandmaster  ( Talk ) 00:24, July 22, 2010 (UTC)

Re: Request
Sure. Are you still working on it? Just tell me when you're done and I'll start looking through it. Xicer9 ( Combadge) 22:41, July 21, 2010 (UTC)
 * Heh, I was actually writing this when you sent me that message. Anyway:
 * In The Essential Guide to Characters he's mentioned heavily in Kun and Ulic's entries. In The New Essential Guide to Characters he's mentioned in Bane, Kun, and Sadow's entries.
 * The New Essential Guide to Weapons and Technology mentions him and other Sith Lords in the context of holocrons: "Nearly all Sith Holocrons contain the personalities of multiple Sith, who continue to squabble and compete long after their deaths. Freedon Nadd, Count Dooku, Darth Sidious, and Darth Bane all used Sith Holocrons to expand their powers and knowledge."
 * He's mentioned quite a few times in the glossary of Star Wars: Behind the Magic, but IIRC most of that was taken straight from the SWE.
 * For The Jedi Academy Sourcebook, see pages 48-49.
 * For the Knights of the Old Republic Campaign Guide, see pages 59, 121, and 153.
 * For the Jedi Academy Training Manual, see pages 111, 118-119, 136, and 157-158.
 * There's a TotJ-heavy interview with Veitch, Gossett, and Dan Thorsland in in AJ#2, Making Star Wars Comics Come Alive. Nadd is only mentioned briefly, but in case you're interested, here's what it says about him - Dan: "That's where a lot of that conflict with Onderon happens [in Tales of the Jedi #1 and #2]. Everyone assumes that they've just been discovered and they've just been contacted, but as it turns out, Freedon Nadd had made it there years and years before and nobody knew, because it wasn't a very traveled spaceway. And he had quite a bit of time to infect the place with dark side power and magic and, unfortunately, poison the planet pretty severely during his time. Long after his death, his spirit is still ruling that place. We're going to have a Tales of the Jedi special that is unscheduled at this point, and we're going to have a pretty dramatic resolution to the situation on Onderon."
 * According our article on Who's Who in Echo Base, Nadd was mentioned in that particular Insider article. Unfortunately I do not have that article, you could ask one of the ESB guys like Toprawa for any info on Nadd from it.
 * Aside from that there's Ulic and Kun's DB entries, which I only glanced at. That Malak article only includes a passing mention of Nadd. Xicer9 atgar.svg( Combadge) 01:26, July 22, 2010 (UTC)
 * Hopefully that e-mail went through this time. Anyway, here are my objections:
 * The test of Matta Tremayne: "At first, Nadd was overcome with grief over his actions as he stared at the empty Jedi robe that had just moments before contained the person of Matta Tremayne." You never mention before that Matta faded into the Force, so this is kind of confusing at first.
 * Nadd's defeat: "...but Master Jeth called upon the light and drove Nadd's spirit away, finally cleansing Onderon of the dark side." Is there a specific Force power that should be linked here?
 * Resurgent Sith: "At long last the Dark Lord's remains were relocated to a new tomb on the far side of Dxun..." "At long last" sounds a touch flowery to me.
 * Resurgent Sith: "Several of the relics were collected and cataloged by the Jedi for shipment to the Jedi Archives on Ossus." "Jedi Archives" here links to the one on Coruscant. Are you referring to another place called the "Jedi Archives" on Ossus, or just the Great Library?
 * Jedi Civil War: I think this section, or part of it, may need one of those light side completion templates, or a 100% completion template, or both. I'm not sure, I'd suggest asking one of the WP:KOTOR guys.
 * Bts: "Nadd was mentioned in passing in two issues of The Sith War story arc, as well as the sequel to the Knights of the Old Republic video game, The Sith Lords..." But didn't he also appear as a corpse in the game? Xicer9 atgar.svg( Combadge) 03:44, July 22, 2010 (UTC)

Re: Request
Sure, no problem. Basically, the info is the same as what I gave you before regarding Sinube&mdash;his "Lightsaber hilt [is] made of Cosian wood," and his "Saber hilt fits into [the] top of [his] cane." And the lightsaber is listed as "Sabercane" under his weapons. If you need anything else, let me know; I'll look forward to the results of your epiphany. :P  CC7567  (talk) 02:25, July 22, 2010 (UTC)

Re:Question
Yes, Nadd's corpse is in the sarcophagus, with his shoto. The corpse is shriveled up, however.&mdash; 21:48, July 22, 2010 (UTC)

AC meeting
Hey, Tommy. Just a reminder we're having an AC meeting on Saturday. Not sure if you saw it or not, so I thought I'd give you a heads up in case you hadn't. Thanks. Toprawa and Ralltiir 22:04, July 22, 2010 (UTC)
 * Thanks. And I do have Who's Who in Echo Base. The Freedon Nadd mention is under the Captain Tigran Jamiro entry: "Did you know? Tigran's home planet of Onderon was the site of several well-documented Jedi and Sith dealings - including the Freedon Nadd uprisings - nearly 4,000 years prior to the Galactic Civil War." Toprawa and Ralltiir 22:36, July 22, 2010 (UTC)

Palmer CAN
Hello there, I would formally like to request Palmer be removed from the list of CANs. It actually has enough content to put up for GAN, and I already removed the CAN template from the article. Thank you. Corellian PremierAll along the watchtower 11:00, July 28, 2010 (UTC)

Re: REBJ
Done and done. Toprawa and Ralltiir 17:35, July 28, 2010 (UTC)

AC Meeting 25
A new AC meeting is scheduled for Saturday, August 14. Please do your best to show up, or leave absentee notes if you can't. Thanks. Toprawa and Ralltiir 21:07, July 28, 2010 (UTC)
