Totally, Completely, and Unabashedly Off Topic (but i want to give something back to the community)

By That One Guy, in X-Wing

Nintendo sent me download codes for the demo of the new Super Smash Bros. game for the 3DS, as well as codes for up to two other people to download it. If you'd like one, PM me and ask for one.

Sorry for going so far OT but no one on my FB wants one because most either don't have a 3DS or already have a code. You may now resume crafting list theories, regaling us with amazing battle reports, and arguing about what new ships are OP.

YES

That's one...

I'll gladly take that code off of your hands!

Yes please! Just sent you a PM!

Guh, I just want an invite to the HotS alpha already.

Sorry, they're all gone now. If I had more codes, I'd give them out.

Usually you don't wanna be "that guy" but you give name a better meaning.

It's good fun, sadly it doesn't like to update over cellular networks. So I ventured back to Diablo.

Huh?

Generally the term "that guy" is a negative. You don't wanna be that guy. The one who smells or cheats or is an idiot ect.

Ah, ok that is what I meant. You should note, however, that I'm That "ONE" Guy, not That Guy. :)

This is a nice gesture but we really need an off topic bit.

A lot of players on here have built up online friendships of sort and there is quite a lot of times when i've wanted to share something 'off topic' but i've resisted to avoid bumping down more legitimate threads..

ironically i'm doing it here.

Gadge,

The only description for this forum is as follows:

X-Wing

Take control of powerful Rebel X-wings and nimble Imperial TIE fighters!

Unlike the sub-forums above, it does not have a set subject for X-Wing. The OP is wanting to share something with the X-Wing community. That in and of itself, defines it as being ok on these boards. If he were asking to give something away only to the LoL players or WoW players on the boards, then he would technically be excluding any integration of X-Wing and be an "illegitimate thread," as you describe.

I'd rather see posts such as this or conversational threads in the community over the incessant banter and complaints about what is broke, what FFG "NEEDS" to put out, and what isn't fair.

Because that is the major majority of the threads on this board. Do you find those repetitions as legitimate or is that 30th thread on how the TIE Advanced sucks guilty of "bumping down legitimate threads?"

To the OP, thank you for the kind gift.

To Gadge, what is deemed as "Legitimate"? Who decides that? When does it become a hindrance to other "Legitimate" threads? To a new player who started last week, the "idiocy of Fat Han" might be a thread that helps them understand the advantages and disadvantages of the ship. To those of us who have been around the game for years, that doesn't add any value to the board. So is it bumping down other legitimate threads or is it itself legitimate?

Perception. I perceive this thread to be fine on our boards. If you don't, there's no need to stint good will on these boards (when there is so little of it as is) due to your personal choices.

GannerRhysode - don't judge Gadge too harshly please; he's used to dealing with games companies which have a much more draconian perspective to... well... pretty much everything, to be honest.

All this joyous freedom that FFG allows us can get a little bit overwhelming at times.

Instead we just derail those legitimate threads by going on like a pair of old women :)

Good point, and please take this post as an amendment to the tone in which I wrote my prior reply. The questions posted in a judgmental tone, I rescind.

What? The next expansion is Legacy of the Vo--ohhhhhh
