Here's the text chat for Out bound Flight!

#

I am not making it through chapter 13 by 8 tonight... But that's okay!

#

I’m still a few pages short of reaching chapter 8 myself. 😬

#

But I’d still like to attend.

#

Is the meeting just a text chat or also a voice chat?

#

Also what time this evening?

#

…never mind I just saw you wrote 2 hours 25 minutes ago.

#

So 8 PM EST

I’m ready for Book (Thrawn) Club!

#

Should we decrease the chapters then? Like 1-9, 10-18/19- to the end?

#

Do we go to the meetup room, or wait for @patent dock to start the meetup?

cold pelican
#

We are in the book club voice already!

tight jasper
#

I’m missing something

#

@patent dock @cold pelican I tried searching for ‘book club voice channel’ and nothing is coming up.

#

Do I need some kind of invite?

silk cargo

#

It says “this link is to a channel or server you have no access to”

silk cargo
#

Hmmm. Do you have the book club role?

tight jasper
#

Probably not

#

Hang on

patent dock
#

Okay, I have adjusted the channel settings so now everyone should be able to see the voice chat without having the book club role. The role should just be needed if you want reminder pings!

#

This hopefully should also mean everyone can see the server event for the next meeting.

Jorus is such a jerk.

#

That is all.

silk cargo
#

I actually stopped listening because I can’t stand him. I’ll see about trying again after I finish this witch book I just got from cloudlibrary.

tight jasper
#

Aaand I won’t be able to attend the session on May 19th.

#

Family stuff.

#

But everyone else, please have fun talking about Thrawn and also the jerk dumpster fire that is Jorus.

#

Again why don't the Jedi seem to have any sort of Internal Affairs or Inspector General office?

#

Like C'baoth is so bad at persuasion and negotiation I can only assume he has been ||mind tricking/threatening people to get his reputation as a mediator for his whole career. His method of running rampshod over people will only work continuously when he in a position of power. That's easy when dealing with civilians or leaders who are desperate but that couldn't have been the case for his whole career. ||

patent dock
#

It does make me wonder if he used to be much less of a jerk and only got his big boomer mentality later in his career

cold pelican
#

I think that's suppose to be the implication, and occasionally the jerk has a point (by accident), but I would've have liked for there to be some remnant of charisma.

patent dock
#

That would certainly make the book easier to read without wanting to throw it across the room!

cold pelican
#

It would also reinforce why Palpatine went to such lengths|| to get rid of him. If he had actually had the charisma to get the Jedi to go along with some of his more unorthodox ideas, combined with his battle meditation he would have actually been a problem. I think that's what we are suppose to think anyways, but with his current attitude I'm not convinced he would have been able to sway much of the Order for long.|| I sympathize with the urge to throw the book at a wall b/c of C'baoth, but alas I'm listening to it on my phone.

tight jasper
#

||For Palpatine, this whole thing was between the Sith and the Jedi. He didn’t want Jorus’ jerk brand of fallen Jedi beliefs taking attention away from his thing.||

#

||Lol imagine Palpatine and Yoda fighting in the Senate Chamber in RoTS, and then Jorus runs in yelling and forcibly inserts himself into the fight to make it a three-way lightsaber duel.||

#

||Palpatine would hate that. 😂||

Alright. I’m back on Outbound Flight. I’ll channel my annoyance at C’baoth into pulling weeds.

cold pelican
# patent dock That would be hilarious

I now have this image of ||the bare-chested, flashlight fingered|| C'baoth ||from the old Heir to the Empire cover|| busting into the Senate just in time to get crushed by one of the Senator's pods.

cold pelican
#

I'm confused as to why C'baoth always calls ||Lorana "Jedi Jinzler" and Anakin "Master Skywalker" he's always very precise with titles so Padawan would be more appropriate?|| It just jumps out at me every time he says it.

#

Are we going to decide on a new book tonight or has one already been picked out?

patent dock
#

We'll decide tonight!

#

There's a chance I'm going to be a few minutes late. Currently stuck in traffic on the way home.
