Related, but neither Google nor Urban Dictionary know what the heck osik means... and neither do I.

Don't you know? It's the new slang kids that think they're mandalorians use for '****'. It should catch on in 2015... I mean, it's so cool to use words some people don't understand, makes you feel special. Exemple: I think they are baka to do this!

To be fair it should be easy to tell from the context even if you don't get the reference (Note I want to point out I didn't use it first)

If I am talking about how bad something is and say something is a "piece of [insert whatever word I choose here made up or not]" it should be fairly obvious what the general intent is, luckily obscure curse words from Karen Traviss novels are not banned on most forums

P.S. Learning a made up language's curse words(That show up almost on every page in her Republic Commando books) and actually going through and memorizing the grammatical rules and other vocabulary are two completely different levels of nerdiness

But then again, there is:

-Guessing what it means by context

-Knowing what it means because you learned it for whatever reason

-Actually using it in a sentence while interacting with people that might have no idea what it means

-Learning the rest of the vocabulary

-Asking to be wed in this particular language

So I guess you're in step three. There is still time for a cure.

To be fair it should be easy to tell from the context even if you don't get the reference (Note I want to point out I didn't use it first)

The way it was being used, I actually guessed that it meant something akin to "overpowered".

Has this thread become about bashing fandalorians now?

Yes it has. Shocking. That never happens on these forums.

Technically, osik is not a curse word. It simply means poop.

Actually the third result on google is 'Mando'a: Wookiepedia, the Star Wars Wiki' which shows what it means.

I have nothing against people liking the Mandalorians, they're a cool fictional culture. It's more about integrating some of their words when discussing with others that bothers me. It serves no purpose except to maybe confuse some people. Pretty much like if I started inserting french words here and there, you know, just because.

Fando's are like the kid who goes to school with spock ears on, they are asking for it.

Asking for being cheered on because they are imitating one of the most awesome characters in their franchise? Cause that's what I do when I see either of the above.

Sorry no you cancel all dice results long before you can trigger his ability, ion cannon is an utter waste on rexler.

You deal a damage card with IC. Rexler can flip it up.

He doesn't spend a focus token to turn hits into crits, he spends a focus token to flip up all damage cards he dealt that round. Even if they're Thrust Control Failure or Minor Explosion and have already been done once and flipped down.

Never knew Mr Calrissian had such a following...

I have nothing but contempt for the abomination FFG calls a "Tie Defender" in what is an overall an absolutely excellent board game!

I just don't get the Defender hate I see on these forums. Why do peopel hate this ship? I can see the tempation to load it with a bunch of stuff and make it too expensive, but I've been using Col. Vessery with just VI and been quite happy. This is especially with the Buzzsaw Shuttle to give TL's.

Ole Vess is nice. I prefer to go with outmaneuver or eu or both but HLC just melts lists sometimes so I can see it being used. Outmaneuver + proton rockets is also melty goodness.

How can you not be a fan of this smooth scoundrel?

The point is that with an Ion cannon you can only flip 1 card, with a normal attack you can do as many as 3-4

Edit: and that is not counting any crits you can flip up again (like your thrust control and minor explosion example) or damage dealt by Minor Explosion

Exactly one crit verses a potential 3-4 is a bad trade.

If you were guaranteed that one crit yes it would be, but you are still rolling 3 Dice whether it is an Ion cannon or your primary attack and my point is if you have 3 uncancelled hit/crit results you only deal 1 card with the Ion and if you used your normal attack you deal 3 damage.

If you have 2 Uncancelled hits you deal 1 card with the ion versus dealing 2 cards with the normal attack. And if you only have one uncancelled result you only deal one card either way. If all of your dice are cancelled by the defender well it doesn't matter. My point is that with Rexlar you want to deal more cards and capping yourself at 1 is a big waste, (why Ion something when you can destroy it outright) Yes I know you don't have to use it every round but I don't see why you would pay 40 points (or more) to cap your self at 1 damage (albeit one that can crit) for any turn

Just having fun? How is making fun of everyone who does that 'just having fun'?

I really want to try them against a competitive Phantom and/or Fat Han and/or TIE Swarm list. I don't have a Falcon yet, but does anyone know a killer Phantom list and TIE Swarm list? I might be able to build those with my collection so a friend can fly it against me.

Because it's only a stereotype, if it doesn't apply to you, you should not be offended.

So which Disney Exec do I gotta' blow to see a Defender in Episode VII? Point me in the right direction folks.
