So, everyone who plays Fantasy Flights Star Wars X-Wing Miniatures Game pay attention!

The official Ban List is now up and the first victim is...

Abbreviations!

No more brevity folks. If you wanna play Fantasy Flights Star Wars X-Wing Miniatures Game with your friends then you're going to have to stop telescoping your linguistics. It's what's killing this game and we all know it. I mean, what is more frustrating? Getting outmaneuvered by someone more skilled at Fantasy Flights Star Wars X-Wing Miniatures Game than you are, or having to sift through piles of capitalized letters? I know for a fact that my last tournament saw me do so poorly because my opponents had truncated lists. FACT! It had nothing to do with the fact that I flew my list backwards and off the mat, I was just so NPE'd... whoops sorry. I mean to say that my play experience was so negative and it was entirely the fault of the other player. They went to use their Plasma Torpedoes but said the name of the upgrade card in an abridged form... I nearly flipped the table!

So, in short; we must ban brevity. I know up there I said ban abbreviations, but that word is just so long I didn't want to type it out again so in order to save time and space I said brevity instead.

Edit: Oh, and ban the Incom Corporation T-65B X-Wing Snubnose Starfighter. With a name that long, it's just begging to be shortened and well, we all know how awful that makes the game!

If you're going to use abbreviations, write out the meaning of each just for the first use.

Example: "Use autoblaster turrets (ABT) with accuracy corrector (AC) for great results!"

Ban abbreviations, ban them all.

Eeee...i literally've no idea if that's serious or jest...

Please B. all the A!

That's how I would end that sentence!!!

Ha! Reminded me of the words of the great Charlie Kelly: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OXmuzldFFpE

Ban abbreviations, ban them all.

"Forgive me if this soundeth strange. The eyes show a world without abbreviations, a vast stretch of darkness. But 'tis different to what is seen when stripped of vision. In the far distance, I sense the presence of tiny letters. Like precious embers, left to us by past Lords, linkers of the letter. Could this be what draws me to this strangely enticing abbreviations?"

WTF is going on in this topic and why do you all find it so funny...?

you can make me type out the full name for BMSTs after you've pried my keyboard from my cold, dead hands

Incom Corporation T-65B X-Wing Snubnose Starfighter.

Incom Corporation T-65B X-Wing Space Superiority Snubnose Starfighter.

This joke doesn't really work in X-Wing when nothing's been banned so far.

For Magic the Gathering on the other hand...

It's so deep for him that he had to make a new thread about it..

Hahahaha - oh...

This topic was disappointing.

Assuming a basic level of intuitive functioning from people should never have to be a choice.

Thought this would be about the banned players list.

Was disappointed. Totes.

Did you use "BL" to signify Bomb Loadout and then not even equip a bomb upgrade?

Or does "BL" somehow translate to the title, or something else entirely?

Genuinely asking.

.....would like a word with you.

Don't tell the TIE Adv. Prototype.... or the Raider Class Corv.

Ah...the list in that thread is ...

...interesting. You know, once you decrypt it.

@TEOTD the OP wants another AFZ on FFG. GL.

JK!

I thought he meant BTL-A4.
