A KRAYT Podcast Episode 6: Featuring a Bounty on All Podcasters

By Brunas, in X-Wing

So, despite our better judgement, we've continued making the Carolina KRAYTS podcast. But much more importantly, twice a year in NC we throw the most prestigious tournament in XWing, the KRAYT CUP. We put a lot of effort into getting some really cool prizes made for it, and people outside the area ask about how to get some of them!. It's where the Inquisitor range rulers and NC target locks are from, if you've seen them in the wild. This is a fun way we thought of to send some out to those of you unlucky enough to not be local players and are stuck playing in other, lesser regions.

So, to assert our dominance as the greatest region of XWing players to ever live and generally seed chaos and strife, we've decided to put a bounty on every host of an xwing podcast (including us, I'm not scared). Here's the details if you don't want to listen to us talk about it (I don't blame you):

For a set of KRAYT templates:

  1. 100-0 any podcast host in any tournament
  2. Take a picture of the score sheet
  3. Post it to their facebook/website or whatever with a GIT GUD, KRAYTS WUZ HERE, really anything disrespectful will do
  4. Message me/Ben on facebook, reddit, or email [email protected]
  5. If it's a Mynock host, let me know what color you want your templates painted.

FOR THE BONUS PALPATINE AND HOT COPILOT CARDS

Get your opponents dejected expression in the picture of the score sheet. CAROLINA KRAYTS is not responsible for any physical altercations that result from attempting to collect the bonus.

Here's the art for the prizes!

Good Hunting!

Neat

Can't wait for Kashyyyk to hopefully play one of the Mynocks again and win the bounty!

I freaking love this.

Unfortunately, the only Podcast personality I run into is MajorJuggler, and I don't see myself going 100-0 anytime soon.

Even so... This is hilarious. Does it have to be at a major event, or in any official setting?

I'm glad the only concern is hitting them to get the guaranteed 100-0! Purge the mynock scum!

Only needs to be at a tournament of some kind. We don't care if it's a store kit with 4 players. NO MERCY

Question: Can I commit fratricide against my co-hosts to score some sweet loot?

Of course, just no colluding with them. You have to table them, break their spirit, and record it forever. I'm going to call out every single host that gets 100-0'd every time with a nice list. Hopefully podcasters aren't completely terrible at this game or I'm going to run out of templates...

Good news is, my co-hosts are used to humiliation and defeat.

I see you're taking the Hot Copilot name literally.

I wish I lived closer to some of these podcast hosts so I could crush their dreams (and claim the bounty)

I officially have a goal for the Nova Open, then.

Now, to build a list that reliably goes 100-0 in the current meta...

Lawl bombs.

Benefit of having a points-fortress, and also crushing all fun and hope from your opponent!

It's a win-win-lose!

Haha! What if you are a podcast host and you play another podcast host? So...I play against J-bot all the time. Can I score some sweet loot? Also, what about YouTube channels? Blake "Mr. X-wing" from Sling Paint is a local guy that I often play. Can I beat him and score sweet loot? I'm a dirty casual guy, so I never get to score the neat swag from cool events.

Also, the trophy looks might sweet in our local game store. PBKW for the win!

If I win, I'd love the "Hot" Shot Co-pilot art, but my wife would laugh at me.

Of course playing other hosts counts, we're trying to sow strife here! I was going to exempt you guys, since you're playing for fun and cooperative and stuff. But no, there will be no one saved from the great podcast massacre of 2017.

Oh, are you guys making the (short) trip to KRAYT CUP 2: PALPATINE BOOGALOO?

Anyone looking to seal club me might have to watch out as I force them to play some crazy mission or Epic game! :lol:

No, I don't think I'll be making it. I haven't even tried to do a tournament level game in so long that I'm sure to unfairly bump someone to the top. I really like what you guys do, though.

Oooo Jim can I play you? We don't count right, we aren't a podcast... we're a "Youtube channel" lol

Aaaaand I just subscribed to the podcast.

Wouldn't it be better if something was on the line for both of us? :P

Well, there is the side event for alternates to just play an unbelievably unfair FFA game. Can I bribe you to put your scenario powers to put something hilarious together for all the alternates out there?

Well, I meant that we could both win if we fulfilled the requirements. :)

Hmmm....we have a bunch of missions we are play testing, but they are for our GenCon event. There is always Mario Kart. That's always a work in progress as we try to improve it. We can always send over the rules and track design.

Oh please, nothing playtested or fair, that isn't the KRAYT way at all. I was thinking something silly along the lines of giving you a literal 50 tie fighters and 2 fully loaded raiders on a 3x3 to play against the people, who are hostile to each other. Last one alive wins.

You know, something fair and fun!

Hmmm ...

Going to Kashyyyk ... Mynock country.

Nova Open ... Target-rich environment.

CHALLENGE ACCEPTED!

Do vassal league matches count? I've got Earthworm in my division there, but no way to get to any other podcast hosts from alaska...

I like the cut of your jib, Krayts, and the Hot Copilot is a nice upgrade to the original, but your garbage templates are only for scrubs who can't git gud enough to earn acrylics the real way.

Sadly I have no podcasts around me, so I'll have to hope that Richard Hsu wanders by sometime soon so I can take a shot at him for that pinup art.
