 Very cool - notice the amount of work needed to turn crappy iron sand into usable metal and how many different specialists were involved at different stages of the process. I strongly suspect that I wouldn't have been able to manage the sharpening-over-water bit without losing fingers, even assuming I'd gotten that far with eyebrows remaining. ^_^

Oh hey, it's that time again! Our Christmas Trivia Quiz, a little late this year because 2016 has been terrible. But Star Wars themed in honor of Rogue One. Spoiler free (of course) because I don't want to ruin anyone's enjoyment of the movie (but also because I have not seen it yet).

Awards are as follows:
One correct answer = 1xp
Two correct answers = 3xp
(partial answers will be given partial credit)

I've eliminated the spoiler rewards because no one ever wants them ^_^

1) Felicity Jones, who plays Jyn Erso, had a very versatile acting career prior to Rogue One. Name three dead novelists associated with parts she has played in the past and what her roles were.

2) the Darth Vader breathing sound is a practical effect. How was it achieved?

3) Mon Mothma is best known for saying, "Many Bothans died to bring us this information." What was that information and how accurate was it?

4) Both Darth Vader and Grand Moff Tarkin had lives prior to the Death Star. Under what circumstances and on what planet did they meet?

5) Which character has appeared in exactly seven (no more and no fewer) Star Wars films shown in theaters? (not counting Rogue One, of course)

6) Including the now non-canon EU novels, how many origin stories are there for the Death Star and when were they introduced?

7) Which character, originally created for the SW EU was recently confirmed as canon, what canon work includes him, and what were his (non-canon) last words?

8) Under what circumstances was the name Antilles first mentioned (from a real world perspective)?

9) In what other Sci-fi franchise film does a character from SW make a cameo appearance?

10) During the Death Star run, Luke Skywalker's call sign is most famously Red 5. But different adaptations give him different call signs. What other call signs does he have and where can you find them?

Final answers will not be accepted after January 20.

These are the answers that I had in mind when I wrote the questions, but if you have a correct answer that is not one that I had in mind, you still get credit. I know that’s how things have been before, but it never hurts to say so again.

I’ll have awards up tomorrow after reviewing people’s answers.

1) Felicity Jones, who plays Jyn Erso, had a very versatile acting career prior to Rogue One. Name three dead novelists associated with parts she has played in the past and what her roles were.

Author: Agatha Christie, Jones played Robina Redmond in the Doctor Who episode the Unicorn and the Wasp
Author: Charles Dickens, Jones played Nelly in the Charles Dickens biopic The Invisible Woman
Author: Jane Austen, Jones played Catherine Moreland in the 2007 adaptation of Northanger Abbey

2) the Darth Vader breathing sound is a practical effect. How was it achieved?

Scuba mask

3) Mon Mothma is best known for saying, "Many Bothans died to bring us this information." What was that information and how accurate was it?

The Emperor himself would be visiting the second Death Star. While accurate, it was a trap.

4) Both Darth Vader and Grand Moff Tarkin had lives prior to the Death Star. Under what circumstances and on what planet did they meet?

Then Captain Tarkin was captured and taken by the separatist forces to the planet of Lola Sayu where Anakin was sent to rescue him.

5) Which character has appeared in exactly seven (no more and no fewer) Star Wars films shown in theaters? (not counting Rogue One, of course)

Obi Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker appeared in The Phantom Menace, Attack of the Clones, The Clone Wars, Revenge of the Sith, A New Hope, The Empire Strikes Back, and Return of the Jedi

6) Including the now non-canon EU novels, how many origin stories are there for the Death Star and when were they introduced?

Four: Death Star (novel), Attack of the Clones (film), Jedi Search (novel), Rogue One (film)

7) Which character, originally created for the SW EU was recently confirmed as canon, what canon work includes him, and what were his (non-canon) last words?

Grand Admiral Thrawn, Star Wars Rebels, “but it was so...artfully done.”

8) Under what circumstances was the name Antilles first mentioned (from a real world perspective)?

Captain Antilles was the captain of Princess Leia’s blockade runner.

9) In what other Sci-fi franchise film does a character from SW make a cameo appearance?

R2-D2 makes a cameo appearance in Star Trek (2009)

10) During the Death Star run, Luke Skywalker's call sign is most famously Red 5. But different adaptations give him different call signs. What other call signs does he have and where can you find them?

In the novelization, Luke’s call sign is Blue 5
In the Star Wars Storybook, Luke’s call sign is Gold 5

Hello, new player joining the game.  Say hello to Moto Dayu of the Unicorn.  I noticed a tremendous lack of horses in the game and so decided to fix that.   On a more serious note, it has been a while since I last played L5R and I am glad to get a chance back in it.  Though I am going to have to remind myself that this is back at the beginning of Toturi I as I really started during the time of Toturi III.

Please feel free to join Dayu for some steak and kumis!

I know nothing - at least nothing that has to do with the meta-arcs.  I just try to focus on the characters in the game.

That being said, that's a challenge too since about 4000 posts of the game happened before I joined.  So when in doubt I just credit Kedo with being awesome and move on. ;)

Eh.

Kenshin is in all of them, but isn't doing much between events; Kasumi is in one of them, but will probably bow out after (if) she faces Kedo (since that is her only reason for entering); and Sakura is in none of them (but will freak when she finds out Kasumi has entered even one of them ....

Until the Void Mage and/or "special character(s)" run into the twins ... I don't think it really matters to me.

Re: OOC 3
Almost certainly ^_^ here are the tests, feel free to pick and choose which you want to enter.

Kaze no Kage:
The Clans that will be participating and the prizes for their test are as follows:

Badger: A heavy weapon bearing the Badger mon, and unlimited access to training with the Ichiro sensei in all Badger dojo.

Centipede: An elaborate kimono created with the winner’s Clan and Family mon, and a satchel of scrolls for shugenja contestants.

Dragonfly: A private reading with shugenja sensei to divine the winner’s future.

Falcon: An assortment of ward ribbons used to protect the bearer from malicious spirits, an exquisite falcon-themed helmet, and an actual trained hunting falcon.

Fox: An advanced herbalism kit that provides 2 Free Raises to Medicine (Herbalism) skill Rolls and lasts twice as long as the normal item, and a scroll satchel of spells for shugenja winners.

Hare: A scribe to record the tale of the winner’s exploits in an epic play or book. When complete, the winner gains a number of Glory Points equal to the scribe’s Storytelling Skill.

Mantis: A sizeable sum of koku, and papers allowing free passage throughout the seas of Rokugan on any Mantis vessel.

Monkey: A fine quality katana with the Monkey mon engraved into the hilt.

Sparrow: An exquisitely rendered copy of the Tao.

Tortoise: A number of legal gaijin trinkets, a small kobune, tortoise-shell armor (value equals 3 x normal price of armor).

Wasp: A Tsuruchi longbow.

Yes, the Falcon, Wasp, Centipede, and Mantis are no longer Minor Clans, but their elevation or absorption happened so recently that their identity as members of the Great Clans hasn’t fully sunk in yet.

Sorry for not posting... working on that.

I just did some looking back, and I think this confusion might be my fault.  Sorry.

"Test of Badger", around msg 32 Shoji did invite Kenshin to dinner - but it was to have dinner with him, Doji Naomi and Doji Iwao.

Then, later I think I convoluted the details and it somehow became "Party at Shoji's!"

Anyway, blame this on me.

I think there only major recent interaction was that Kenshin was kind enough to give Shoji a public Iaijutsu lesson.  See "Volume 2, Interlude - Training". He was inviting Kenshin to dinner as a thank you, if I remember correctly.

It was probably improper for her to speak of it.

OR... she might be full of crap.

OR... to be honest, you aren't allowed to duel without your lord's permission.  She might simply be forbidden from Iajitsu dueling, or something like that, and is stretching it a bit to say she isn't allowed to wear a katana.. because if you do, that means you can be challenged to an Iajitsu duel, possibly.  Make sense?

 I don't think so... Kedo just really isn't sure quite why he's here, beyond his having arranged for the Lion storyteller he was with to meet some people that I can't quite recall - his original agenda, or rather my agenda for him was to get to visit the Dragon Encampment and maybe fudge around the edges of actually increasing his school rank since he's gained a hell of a lot of experience since he started out... And then something happened and now we're all here and I'm not sure why either.

 What we need are some more ninjas, but the problem with the games is that that just ain't gonna happen. ^_^

Re: OOC 3
As far as the party you can blame me.  That was my ask - a chance to host!  The Tournament of the Emporer's Favored is something about trying to give the minor clans a chance to make friends - and I thought it might be a fine chance to get the PCs together and converse/plot on each other's side-plots, goals.

Also, I thought it a good chance to get a couple of drinks into Mr. Yuudai, and Shoji meant to invite the Dragonfly as well since well... they need something.  But I might have forgotten?

I'll make a stab at a post.
