It has been drifting that way for awhile. I don't visit nearly as often as I used to. I don't know if it's the fact that it has turned into a bunch of over-competitive posturing driven by the podcast crowd or 40K exiles or what, but the civility and helpfulness, the whole "Fly Casual" motif, has all but evaporated. It's now all number-crunchy, min/max, exploiting imbalances in the game, tournament prep as SERIOUS BIDNESS, whining about "broken" cards, pontificating about the "right" and "wrong" builds, and the like. It's very tiresome and has greatly reduced my enthusiasm for the game. It's the same sort of BS that killed my enthusiasm for 40K, even before GW completely tanked its rules.

I find that I enjoy my time with other games much more than X-Wing these days, and the decline of the forums is a big reason why.

Just came back from some travelling. Why? What's happening? Which thread?

There were a couple of threads discussing the ruling that both damage decks will be legal for tournaments for the foreseeable future. About 5 serious ones or so, there were also about a dozen or more threads trying to be funny and succeeding about as much as a Hutt succeeds at flying.

Ah ok - ta mate!

With B-Wings!

After a scrounge through the main forum I have returned to the save haven of the off-topic forum

Take back the forums!

... Then we take Berlin.

Been there, Berlin is best left where it is. Italy is much better, nicer weather, better food and drink, and no german.

Meh still on the same side during the war tough!

Now Japan is awesome... oh wait.

Speaking of german: My local gamestore had a mini oktoberfest going on a few weeks ago. It was nice!

I thought the Italians swapped sides once the going got tough.

I am all over the place. Even the Armada forums. Since the big armada sale by mm and cool stuff. I jumped into that as well. Now just trying to get my friends to buy in.
