Come, all you Star Wars Rangers, wherever you may be,
I'll tell you of some trouble that happened unto we.
My server is nothing extra, so that I will not tell.
Come, all you Star Wars Rangers, I'm sure Sony wishes well,
I'll tell you of some trouble that happened unto we.

Come, all you Star Wars Rangers, I'm sure Sony wishes well,
When at the age of Master Scout I joined the jolly band
That marched from Jundland wastes down to the Eisley sands
Our leaders they informed us, I supposed they thought it right,
"If you want to keep your skills nerf-free, my friends, you'll have to fight."

"If you want to keep your skills nerf-free, my friends, you'll have to fight."
We saw the devs a-coming, though we heard them give no yell.
My feelings at that moment, no words can ever tell.
We saw the glitt'ring red names, the patches 'round us hailed.
My heart it sank within me; like camo, my restraint almost failed.

We saw the glitt'ring red names, the patches 'round us hailed.
My heart it sank within me; like camo, my restraint almost failed.
We fought them two long years before the CU came.
The likes of gone and cancelled before we'd never seen.
Dozens of the noblest Rangers that ever roamed the skies
Were gone, cancelled, respeced out, sayin' "I'll give BH a try."

Then I thought of my dear harvest droid, who through a sandstorm to me did beep.
"Those people are to you strangers, you're on the Internet, you creep."
I thought him just a rust bucket, and the best he did not know,
For my heart was set on Rangerdom, and back to Endor I must go.

We heard the fighting from within and the worry from without.
But we held our tempers, we bit our tongues, and we knew we'd stick it out.
But we held our tempers, we bit our tongues, and we knew we'd stick it out.
Though battered and diminished, we still nobly stood our ground.
When the dust had settled, our numbers they were down.
To the wild we took in flight with our casualties in hand.
We buried them beneath the Yavin moons or in the Riverlands.
We regrouped and packed our camps up, we shook hands and shook our heads.
Then we mounted up and took separate ways, going where our paths each led.
Perhaps you have a brother, perhaps a trusted friend or three .
Likewise you have a guildmate who's heard you quie'ly weep.
And yet the furthest wilderness, you still love to explore and roam,
I'll tell you by your experience--you're a Ranger... Welcome home.

Somewhere, there's a cowboy rolling over in his grave going, "Eustus, what the hail war' that?"

Oh boy, Elton John material here. 
Someone is going to HAVE to recite that thing at the next GRM.

I hope this sways the Devs, as it is going into the report.
Well written, my friend. I didn't know that such a thing could be put into rhyme.

::blushes:: I didn't think anyone would like it. I actually forgot I'd posted it. It's based on (ripped off of) an old cowboy ballad called "Come All Ye Texas Rangers," though there's several un-based verses. Various versions of the original lyrics are available on the net, and Cordelia's Dad does a great version of it.

Wow... If you're serious, that'd be awesome. Let me know so I can make sure to show up for that meet to hear it! (I keep missing them.
