With the extremely optimistic among us still speculating about possible new SKU announcements, thought I'd remind everybody of what day it is tomorrow. So when the first clown jumps on here in the morning with a thread titled "LIBERTY CRUISER AND INTERDICTOR ANNOUNCED"...

Nah man, the first joker who pulls that gets a carbonite bath and we see his mug on Jabba Stewart Living.

But what if FFG says it? Do we believe it then?

I mean, I firmly believe that Wave 3 will only be the two Flotillas...

... but honestly, I would like some more details released about what is in them - further card and discussions...

Because the Rules Questions Forum is dead.

Really, really dead.

Its getting to the point where I'm not doing any posting for hours at a time.

Well, it must be, you're out here with the rest of us!

I know, right... I swear... I've been hissing at sunlight all day....

That's only because you have taught half the population that plays how to play Armada.

Leave it to Lyraeus and you'd have far more questions to answer.

Look Ardaedhel, I am all in favour of maintaining healthy skepticism, but it's clear FFG actually do pay attention to these forums and intend to give players what they want.

There's no way the Wave 3 admiral isn't legit.

I think Binks is so bad neither faction would want him.

Even the Rebels would see the walking disaster a mile off "waaaaaaaaaait aren't you that mentally challenged lizard that got us to this point of galactic tyranny and civl war in the first place?"

Hey! It's only happened twice!

That is too open ended, and far too easy to play with.... Ah who am I kidding?

Twice, that you have answered the question before Dras correctly?

I recon he has some sort of voice recognition software that can understand his Australian/Canadian accent and type what he says and auto corrects with AI accuracy.

I have a rules question, I have this ship and ......

Dras: "There is no restrictions or limitations on Dice Range in Regards to Shooting At Squadrons, only Squadrons Shooting at Ships."

... can I finish the question? At what range can ships shoot at squadrons? What, wait, spooky.

You nailed the italics for emphasis thing that he does. It was almost like I was reading it in Dras' voice.

Now that is spooky.

Man, and there was even a post in the Rules Forum this morning, but I'd gone out to the Dentist and missed it...

I have been Shamed!



As it is, there is a reason for the italic emphasis... That is because when I was working temporarily in a call center, I was Trained to Use Capital Lettering to Emphasise the Important Words of a Sentance, Even when they Break the Standard Rules of Punctuation.

1 message typed like that every 22 seconds for 3 x 10 hour workdays a week... Its taken me years to break out of it. But even then, there's something in my brain that makes me do it...

So I generally italicise for the basic level of emphasis.

I will bold an additional point in counter to, or mixed in with an italic separate point.

and I will mother-effin Bold Slanty something that absolute needs to be paid attention to.

So there. My mind is odd. But I try.

And @Lyraeus - I considered that above to be more of a dig at me than a dig at you.... Remember, you do something that I do not. And that, is Give a **** on how someone new entering the game learns. Demonstration Videos help those who can't/won't/don't/are unable to read, or digest information in a written format.

Keep that up.

Definintely not saying it's a bad thing. With most people's writing, I can ascribe emphasis to whatever part of the sentence I want--with yours, there's really no room for interpretation.

Its not easy. I am only the sum of my experiences and I have made a list that works not just in my meta. That makes me happy. It is like IceQ getting his list proliferated. Well, like that for me.

I need to work on more videos. . . I have just been so busy.

The person/persons that posted fake news is/are a jerk face ...

Well, its all over today...

... and there are 7 posts in the Rules Forum's First Page that don't have any posts in it from me...

... Which means it was either something answered satisfactorily before me - or it was something I didn't see could be answered so much with "Rules" rather than "Opinion"...

...

I'm bored.

Waiting for Wave 3 Controversy...

I think after adepticon it's officially a controversy

No, I don't think its a controversy...

... or a Travesty...

... or a Sign of the Apocalypse...

Its simply what is.

Remember with the Organised Play Shakeup happening over 2016/17, with the change of branches, Worlds this year will be held with Wave 3 being out a couple of Months... We then launch straight into another Store Championships Season, instead of having 6 months off...

Ideally, we could be right back into Wave 4 right after Worlds, that way, they're not giving us so much to have to adapt to for each Year...

Otherwise Worlds this year would be Crazy, but Worlds next year would be... tame in comparison.

fair enough controversy is overstating it. Imo though it would be a bad decision to wait to push out more product at such a crucial tipping point in the games life simply to help one season of tourny play. And really at the end of the day is the general lack of acknowledgement from FFG that armada even exists. Not saying ah it's over burn your ships! Just saying that the game doesn't seem to be at the forefront of anything at FFG. Which leads me to think all the people beating the it's selling so well it's doing fine no worries drum are a little off, cause if it was their second best selling game than I think they may give it a little more love.

The fact its their second best selling game is, actually, a fact... Its not just a rumour. According to details released openly and officially by distributors... It is a fact, not heresay.

I just don't get what else people want to see. What they are demanding to see, and why this isn't anything but good.

How is it a cruicial tipping point in a games life at this point? I'm sorry. We just got what we needed to make it somewhat of a complete system, and we're getting something else to really shake up how things are done... How is that not a good thing?

The other side of the "giving the love" side of things is... They Don't Have To.

Its selling well.

Why mess with it if its selling well the way it is?!

Risk Management is HUGE in these things... Too much too quickly is a risk to future sales - especially if you set a precedent about releases that you are continually unable to reach, and it is a Risk that can be Managed.... By Doing exactly what they are doing now.

None of Us work for Fantasy Flight Games. The only people who can make a difference in this argument are Fantasy Flight Games.

By all means, have your opinions.

But I'll have my opinion, too...

The difference is, my Opinion doesn't end up plastered as a New Post on the Wall, Promoting Negativity and Scare-Tactics, which all in all, provoke a negative experience for both Established Players And New Players Looking to Join.

That's what I'm against.

The Rampant Negativity.

Anyone else think that Drasnighta should be hired to moderate the forums here?

Seconded. It now moves to a vote. All in favor say I.

sorry I wasn't clear. I didn't mean that it's sales weren't fact I just meant that it hasn't seemed to matter and we can't just use that as a sign that all is well. People want to see articles or just any kind of enthusiasm from FFG on this game. It's a crucial tipping point in the game because people are walking away due to the lack of apparent caring from FFG on the game. No one is saying this isn't good just that after all the silence this didn't quite do it for a lot of people. I'm not plastering doom and gloom threads. I don't even think the game is in trouble as far as FFG is concerned. Just that there is more than one way of looking at this.sorry I wasn't clear.
