Awesome support from NHQ/NOC

[Tubacap]

Over the past few days, I have been on the phone repeatedly with all different offices within the NOC and at NHQ.  I just wanted to shout out that the staff at both were ALWAYS courteous, helpful, and went out of there way to get me the information that I needed.

The folks down at Maxwell and at the NOC do an outstanding job of keeping everything running smoothly for us!

P.S.  This was almost entirely operations side of the house with some CP interface.

How much did they pay you to say this ? 

[Eeyore]

They probably didn't, just dispatched a few black vans to his house and forced him to type this.

You mean the mind-control experiments didn't pan out?

The Sith Lords at NHQ used the Dark Side of the Force to make Tubacap say that.

Now it all makes sense!

Um, no... They would have to be incredibly strong in the force. Using the infamous "jedi mind tricks" alone won't work. Leia had trouble influencing someone via holocomms (video and voice). A phone system alone? No. Alabama is to far away from PA anyway. Now NHQ might have discovered "The home" and its secrets. But, Lumiya and Alema Rar (Other than the inventor, Darth Vectivus) were really the only known ones to have master force phantoms. Besides, they would have had to have traveled to the MZX32905 (misidentified sometimes as M2X32905) system. Phantoms would only have allowed them to appear to the OP and try and convince him. No mind tricks.

Not only that, but assuming everyone at NHQ was a sith, they would be disobeying the rule of two.  It replaced the practices of Lord Kaan's Brotherhood of Darkness, which claimed equality among Sith Lords and forbade the use of the title "Darth".

The Rule of Two was instituted by Darth Bane, once a student at Kaan's Sith academy, in response to what he viewed as inevitable, self-destructive infighting within the Sith Order. The Rule of Two states that there would be only two Sith at one time, a Master and an Apprentice, guaranteeing that when the Apprentice becomes powerful enough in the ways of the Dark Side to take the title of Master, only then would they be worthy of the title. This transfer of power would only take place when the Apprentice takes their Master's life and finds a worthy student to repeat the cycle. Both Master and Apprentice were considered to be Sith Lords.

The reasoning behind this was, if there were more than 2, several would gang up on the strongest, defeat the strongest, and then fight amongst themselves, until only one, weaker, sith lord remains.

I feel sad, I remembered MZX32905 as being near Bilbringi, not Bimmiel. I was correct on it being near Lorrd.

The geek is strong in this one.

May the Triangle Thing be with you.

To be serious, I've never had anything less than a great experience while dealing with National. The couple of times I've stopped by on my way through Montgomery, I've been treated as an honored guest. Great people there.

I agree.  I have never had anything but a positive experience from the paid folks at NHQ.  When I first started in CAP, NHQ wasn't as accessible, and my leadership used to blame everything on them (taking forever to process stuff, etc).  As I spent more time in the organization, I realized that it wasn't NHQ's issues, it was the volunteer staff that had all the issues.
