<Havac> Wow. KJA is so tone-deaf.
<Havac> TTT establishes Winter as Leia's longtime friend and "aide".
<Havac> What does KJA call her?
<Havac> Leia's "personal servant".
<Havac> Way to go, Captain Sensitive.
<Jello> Awesome.

<The4dotelipsis> I was actually excited about Allegiance.
<The4dotelipsis> :(
<LtNOWIS> I was actually excited about Triple Zero...
<The4dotelipsis> We are all fools of the highest calibre.

<LO|Hereish> Is a pseudomotion a real word?
<SillyDan> it's a pseudoword

<Trip> Zahn's just as bad as Traviss, Ataru. :P
<Ataru> Trip: Bah!
<Trip> He's the Traviss before Traviss.
<AdmirableAckbar> Bah!
<Trip> A whole race of Stus... a made-up language...
<Trip> Stubbornly retconning away stuff he doesn't like...

<GreenTentacle> Oh no!

<GreenTentacle> And the sun's rising in two hours!

[12:29] <JorrelFraajic> Hmm. What would happen if Timothy Zahn were to write a book and kill Boba Fett in it?
[12:29] <Graestan> He would become a Pariah.
[12:29] <Graestan> I think Karen Traviss will do that to the old merc anyhow.
[12:29] <Graestan> She pretty much has the rights to him.
[12:30] <JorrelFraajic> Hehehe. She "owns" Boba.
[12:30] <Graestan> Of course, she'd make his last living thought: "I love my Daddy."
[12:30] <Graestan> 9_9
[12:30] <JorrelFraajic> No, he'd say it in Mando'a.
[12:31] <Graestan> I' l'ove m'y Da'dy?
[12:31] <JorrelFraajic> I' Lo've m'y Da'dd'y.
[12:31] <Graestan> LOL
[12:31] <JorrelFraajic> You got the joke!

[11:28] * LordHydro|XWA grins wryly.
[11:28] * LordHydro|XWA speaks dryly.
[11:28] * LordHydro|XWA twists his lip.
[11:28] * LordHydro|XWA is a Zahn character.
[11:28] <TheMissionsDot> Stop Zahning!

Zahn also has a bad habit of making starship battles sound like text book descriptions or police reports.

"On Galactic stardate 10.34.63 at approximately 1325 hours 4 TIE/in starfighters left the port hangar of the Imperial Star Destroyer Thrawn Is Awesome in a classic flying-V formation. All 4 pilots had twisted lips and said things in a wry manner."
