Is the word "broken" broken?

By EdgeOfDreams, in X-Wing

Since no one can seem to agree what "broken" means, and FFG hasn't published a fix card for it yet, is it broken?

And while we're at it, when is FFG going to publish an abstract-concepts-only pack? It's cheaper than printing models, tokens, and cards, and I bet a lot of players would buy it.

broken is so op :P

Troop Transport is broken.

Whoooops, sorry... wrong FFG game!

Bork brok!

Fixing Broken will break the fixed!

It must be otherwise it would be fixed

Nah, it's just over used.

Mainly by players with little patience who are unwilling to learn why they can't immediately win with certain ships.

I.e. "FFS FFG, I've flown the X-Wing once and lost! It can't be me, it must be the ship, FIX NAOW PLZ!"

edit - one good use of the word "broken" is as an indicator of who can safely be put on your ignore list; saves a lot of time that way.

i.e.

"Green dice are broken and ruin the game and everything that relies on RNG is useless!" - ficklegreendice

"Ignored!" - me

Most of the time these terms are used by people who still have to learn more about this excellent game...

But telling the truth, there are design flaws, no matter what word you use and how many prefer to emit smug and spam "git gud" posts.

everything is broken

If EVERYTHING is, then nothing is, right?

Nothing is included in the broad definition of everything so yes. Nothing is broken. Everything is broken. Except bacon. FFG; please don't nerf bacon.

I think more people need to look at the term broken as a challenge. As soon as someone says a ship is broken we all need to pull outvour card collection and come up with at least 3 different ways to use it each.

There are only two ships that can carry Palp in normal 100 pts match, so nope, we can't make more than two distinct variants of an exemplary broken card

I so read the word bacon not broken .... so i guess it is

Yes

The word broken is broken otherwise it would be fixed.

That's why fixed doesn't need to be fixed. Because it already is.

Nah, "Broken" isn't broken. You just have to counter it with its weaknesses: "Logical thinking," "courtesy," and "friendly humor." Fortunately these work well against a variety of the popular Meta choices, including "whining" and "wild speculation."

broken is broken

which means broken is fixed, because it is no longer broken if it's broken

but then fixed is "broken" and everything that's been fixed is now broken

even though the now broken broken is fixed

ALL of the peg holders of my large based ships are broken.

Can't fit HUGE ships into 100 pts match, sadly.

Because Epic points are unavailable outside Epic format.

otherwise we'd have a ton of RAMMING STRESS-TRANSPORTS

I think we need a broken token
