FalseSomething along the lines of the early Star Wars Galaxies system. You could declare allegiance to either the Empire or the Rebellion (later also extended to freelancers/mercenaries in space battles). From there you could flag yourself as overt member of the Empire/Rebellion which meant you could use various faction perks such as stormtrooper armor or AT-STs, or a covert member (which could declare themselves as temporarily overt by healing an overt member of their own faction or attacking an overt member of the opposite faction and getting a "temporary enemy flag" or TEF). IIRC it was also possible to be "found out" as a covert member through some security checks but my memory is a bit hazy on that.

This provided a "PvP-lite" option where you could still participate in some PvE faction activities without being ganked constantly, and help your people, act as a spy, and so on, without having to get fully into the PvP "lifestyle". There were some TEF-related exploits and annoyances which could have been worked out, but they eventually just removed it. Also, there was the bounty system (initially against Jedi only) which on private servers got extended to different types of player bounties.

Such a system was essentially the most immersive and "realistic" you could've hoped for in the Star Wars setting (a third "neutral" faction with a few sub-factions could have been added in the ground game like it has been added in space) - players could just live their lives as everyday people in the Star Wars universe, interacting with each other while covertly supporting Empire or Rebellion as they would have in real cities during such times (NPC cities had different levels of Imperial or Rebel presence, and player cities had their own allegiances depending on guilds, but none were completely off-limits to you regardless of your faction), participating in battles and skirmishes as they happened, or outright playing as fully armored Stormtroopers patrolling Mos Eisley and looking for contraband.

Finally, it has to be said that all of this made sense and the rough edges were smoothed over largely because almost everyone playing the game already had a solid idea of how a Star Wars setting "should" work, and the MMORPG playerbase in general was quite different from its modern iteration.2 New Posters for Joseph Kosinski’s Oblivion with Tom Cruise
Joseph Kosinski made an incredibly memorable debut back in 2010 with TRON: Legacy, giving us one of the most impressive debuts behind the camera in recent memory. Naturally, we’re excited about what he’s going to be bringing us next with Oblivion.
Tom Cruise is front and centre for this sci-fi/action blockbuster, and we’ve seen plenty in recent months to suggest it’s going to be a lot of fun.
We’ve already been treated to an awesome new trailer and poster this month, and now EW have debuted two new posters to add to the collection. The first features a lone Cruise, looking awesome as ever. And the second sees him alongside co-star Morgan Freeman, looking rather brilliant in his shades.
 them in Oblivion will be Andrea Riseborough, Olga Kurylenko, Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, Melissa Leo, and Zoë Bell, making for a pretty awesome supporting cast.
Kosinki is directing from a script co-written by himself, William Monahan, Karl Gajdusek, and Michael Arndt, based on an original graphic novel by Kosinski and Arvid Nelson.
And to make things all the sweeter, the increasingly-rising M83 have been tasked with scoring the film, so you just know it’s going to have an amazing soundtrack.
Oblivion will be released in the UK on 12th April, and will reach US IMAX theatres on 12th April, too. Its wide US release date follows a week later on 19th April, and all signs point to this opening big at the box office when it lands.Warrier's Collage 09092020 : Waterfalls Posted by : M G Warrier AA A Tribute* to a fellow human being A young boy from a remote town of Dondiacha, enters a prestigious medical college, in his simple attire, thin, short, wearing a topi, sadra and pyajama, to join, the college as 1st year medical college. Many of his classmates, look past him, some ridicule him, some already have coined a pet name "Mama". But, this is a boy of extraordinary intellect, resilience and sincerity. He very soon is revered by all his classmates, goes on to become the only student in the history of Pune University and BJ Medical College to have secured gold medal in every subject of every phase of MBBS, and MS general surgery. This record still remains unbeaten. That young man was Dr RAVINDRANATH TONGAONKAR. Refusing an opportunity to study FRCS in the UK, he decided to start medical practice, in his home town Dondiacha. Renting a tiny mission hospital, he started his 3 bedded hospital. When the fourth patient arrived, he gave the only cot in his house to the patient, and himself slept on the chatai. Working selflessly, day in and day out, he not only successfully operated thousands of laprotomies, but kept himself updated to the recent advances, learnt laparoscopy, endoscopy and sonography. A one man army indeed. He showed the world that an ordinary mosquito net possessed the same tensile strength as that of the 2900 times more expensive hernia mesh. Cost to the mesh = 50 paise. World Hernia Foundation mentions him in its hall-of-fame as one of the most important contributors to the hernia repair surgery. He shall always be remembered as a true Gandhian. No pride about his achievements, no ego about having dedicated his life to rural surgery. He was the president of the International Federation of Rural Surgeons and Association of Rural Surgeons of India. (An atheist, a karyakarta, and former president of Dhule ANIS (ANDHASHARDA NIRMULAN SAMITI) he didn't believe in God or destiny. His belief was only this--- "LIFE is perishable, what remains is only your deeds.")** Dr R. Tongaonkar treated thousands of patients in Dhule, Nandurbar and neighbouring states of Gujarat and Madhya Pradesh. His compassionate and soft demeanor made every patient feel understood and satisfied. DR RAVINDRANATH TONGAONKAR(Nana, as he will be fondly rememberd by all), passed away on September 7, 2020 due to COVID19 and its complications. This pandemic has caused suffering for millions of the human beings, but we hoped it wouldn't touch the kindest, the purest of us. But sadly it has. Nana didn't believe in soul, or life after death. He insisted that life is now until death. He is and will always remain an inspiration to thousands of us who feel enriched by his presence in our lives as a mentor, a friend, a philosopher, a guide, a doctor, an ideal. With Nana's demise, an era has come to an end. The era of a resilient, rational, passionate man- Dr Ravindranath Tongaonkar. My heartfelt condolences to Dr Asha ( Tai) Tongaonkar and the entire Tongaonkar family. *Received from Dr T V Surendran, Mananthavady. ( **Collage had two options : Omit this portion, as this is "Obit", or retain this and comment. Went for the tougher second choice. Since the concept of God was invented, there has never been a God universally accepted and respected by all human beings who believed in God. Individuals like this Doctor chose to remain non-controversial by remaining outside the conventional belief systems. Tagore, this doctor, Bertrand Russell, Shankaracharya, Srinarayana Guru, Mahatma Gandhi, Sartre, Vivekananda, Osho, Sai Baba, Buddha...(list illustrative) all interpreted God in different ways. They all applied their own mind and interpreted the concept. It's more comfortable and better to leave these people alone, leaving them to explain their position directly to God, when necessary. We need not classify people as believers and non-believers until the almighty Himself directly entrusted the responsibility to us. Personally, I'm comfortable with the descriptions and assertions in Isavasyopanishad : https://www.speakingtree.in/blog/isavasya-upanishad -Warrier) A Interaction 1) Vathsala Jayaraman "Shri Babusenan's writings are really absorbing. It is really great that he evinces lot of interest in sharing different varieties of anecdotes/stories. Congratulations to him." 2) S Nallasivan, Hyderabad "As many of his friends in different groups enquired about his long silence, Collage got in touch with Shri Nallasivan. He is well and is on a self-imposed exile for personal reasons and, hopefully, will be back with his usual comments/mails soon".-Warrier 3) PKKNair One of my ten hobbies relates to ‘Distance Reading’ Today I take the case of S.M.
