You challenge the Devil to a game of X-Wing for your Soul. What do you Fly?

By Darth Ruin, in X-Wing

Chuck Norris only owns the TIE Advanced. That's actually what its cost is based on.

Trick question, there is no such thing as a devil or a soul.

If there was a devil, he'd probably cheat, bing the lord of deception and master of the material world (assuming we're talking about the christian/muslim version here), so he'd be rolling all crits, every roll, without focus or target lock, and he'd be able to reset his maneuver dials with his will alone after seeing your maneuver, so he'd dodge every arc and alway have a shot lined up.

It'd probably be best to just kick him in the nuts for being an eternal, infernal jerk, and get it over with.

Reminds me of Red Dwarf and Lister arming up to whack Death when he came for him.

I don't know if i've seen that one. Red Dwarf was alway hit or miss for me, it's sort of the poor man's hitchhiker's guide.

I enjoyed it for what it was, which is a more less what you described.

The episode in question was a good one though. Its one of those "You know bits of the future, but not enough" episodes, and Lister thinks hes gonna die, so he grabs a bat and goes off to meet death swinging.

Back on topic, I see a lot of folks posting two ship builds. I feel like I'm basically allergic to 3 ships, so I can't even imagine 2. Do they actually work?

Already sold soul to devil for better dice. Still waiting for dice last up date was on the boat

I've had very good luck with Dash and Corran builds

I haven't ever actually lost a game with Han/Corran. Looking forward to Dash, 42 point Corran will take some getting used to.

I wouldn't wager my soul on anything for anything but if the Devil still wanted to play for "fun"...

Wes Janson w/ Veteran Instincts + Engine Upgrade

Blue Squadron x3

8 Ties obviously.

Phantom ? Kill support, block decloak, either kill it or win by time.

Fat Han ? Get rekt.

Assault missiles ? I don't need to fly in formation, what up now ?

Howlrunner ? Use asteroids to break their formation.

Anything else ? Lol imma gonna swarm you.

And as i beat him, i put this, so he can feel better about it

At the end of your wicked life the Devil comes to collect your soul. But you're prepared. You whip out your X-Wing case and challenge him to a game. He's come prepared himself, however. He even has Wave 5 ships from GenCon. With your current collection, what will you play?

(You don't know the Devil's list in advance and he doesn't know yours, but being the Devil he will probably use C3P0.)

Easy.

Tie advanced.

While he laughs himself stupid I convert to Jesus and flip Old Scratch the middle finger.

Phantom + spa, alpha x2, academy x3

On the rebel side...

Biggs, hobbie, tarn, knave.

Might work. I bet even the debil is pissed by the quality of Marek.

I think it would be more fitting to play a 10,000 point epic game.

You guys are totally missing the obvious picks: Virgil, Beatrice, and St. Bernard.

I had a feeling you were into or studied literature, but you've always seemed like a math kind of guy.

The devil went down to Endor
He was lookin' for a soul to steal
He was in a bind
'Cause he was way behind
And he was willin' to make a deal
When he came across this young man
Gamin' on a table and rollin' real hot
And the devil jumped
Up on a hickory stump
And said, "boy, let me tell you what
I guess you didn't know it
But I'm an X-Wing player too
And if you'd care to take a dare, I'll make a bet with you
Now you play a pretty good TIE swarm, boy
But give the devil his due
I'll bet a Plano of gold
Against your soul
'Cause I think I'm better than you."
The boy said, "my name's Johnny
And it might be a sin
But I'll take your bet
And you're gonna regret
'Cause I'm the best there's ever been."
Johnny, ready up your list (but no Ysanne Isard)
'Cause hell's broke loose in Endor, and the devil deals the cards
And if you win, you get this shiny Plano made of gold
But if you lose, the devil gets your soul
The devil opened up his case
And he said, "I'll start this show."
And fire flew from his fingertips
As he fished out his "Echo"
Then he pulled out "Whisper" and Soontir
And they made an evil hiss
Then a pair of ACDs joined in
And a PtL capped his list
When the devil finished
Johnny said, "well, that's pretty good, old son
But sit down in that chair right there
And let me show you how it's done."
He ran Corran/R2-D2, run boy run
With Vet'ran Instincts just for fun
Engine and VI on Han Solo
Gunner, Falcon title and 3PO
The devil bowed his head
Because he knew that he'd been beat
And he laid that golden Plano
On the ground at Johnny's feet
Johnny said, "Devil, just come on back
If you ever want to try again
I done told you once you son of a Sith
I'm the best that's ever been."
He ran Corran/R2-D2, run boy run
With Vet'ran Instincts just for fun
Engine and VI on Han Solo
Gunner, Falcon title and 3PO

The Devil will be in a Phantom that rolls 4/5 hits a round and always rolls 4 evades... with an evade token!

Against that you are going to need serious firepower... or ps10+

So... Sympathy FROM the Devil?

What can I say? I'm a man of wealth and taste....

I'd take Han Solo with C-3P0, but not for the reasons you're thinking. They have the best lines to use in a game against the devil. I would endlessly be quoting them both.

"Then I'll see you in Hell!"

and

"We're doomed"

:D

And then there's: Haaaaan Solo!! What-a-Maaan Solo!!
