But, Ghost Fenn takes skill, right?

You're mistaking skill with amount of decision making.

This. The two are regularly conflated, however.

Conflated: combine (two or more texts, ideas, etc.) into one

Kinda like Zeb on a VCX. Got it.

Er... for the uninformed and unwilling to click on odd links from the office... what happened to that store?

They loosely share a name with the company that makes fortnite, they get a lot of calls about fortnite

It's always been the best, but for some reason people don't complain about it as much as they should?

That, and the fact that it never dies

Random musings on new Crack Shot- To be able to get it off consistently on the opening engage, you guys should try out flying in much tighter formations than prior- I'm talking Pinwheel/box levels of tight. Your arcs overlap if they are in the same place- Right?

Yeah, they held the Ohio regional in 2016 and 2017. I'm also the reigning Store Champion of the Centerville branch...

I think that regional was also the first time we met

I just realised we are for fortessing this thread in the corner of page one.

Just long enough for the other threads to commit to a complaint lane.

I'm not sure about this. Even in pinwheel the left vs right ships aren't going to overlap a small base with all their bullseye arcs. Maybe you get 3 and call it good, which is probably as good as you could expect anyway.

Another alternative is to fly loose and use a blocker to pin the target in a predictable location, and line up the bullseye arcs on that one location from multiple directions.

The link is safe. It's an interesting story about a game store that angry Fortnight players mistook for official tech support because angry 12-year-olds don't Google gud.

On the topic of gaming 12-year-olds, I still find it's funny that that's the Krayts' schtick, because they're some of the only people who behave like rational humans on the forums.

I didn't even know anyone still played Call of Duty anyway. Do people still play EVE online?

I guess the worst MMOGs stick around forever, and the best ones die instantly.

RIP LEGO Universe. :(

Looks like the GUNBOAT thread is trying to grow some more. Not sure what I think of that. Like, it's cool as a place for GUNBOAT zealots to hang out and discuss GUNBOAT, but it doesn't need to get out of hand. This thread, on the other hand, I actually need to keep going because it's the only thing I can read on the forums without feeling like I'm having my soul sucked out of me.

In the mynocks worlds interview thread Paul was playing maybe...WoW..

How is it we haven't made a raiding guild yet?

Where I scrubbed out in the cut in an easy game against Jeremy Trad? Yeah...

We have such a love hate with Jeremy lol. On the one hand hes my boy and he works really hard at life and hes a phenomenal friend, on the other hand he plays degenerate stuff, is a Vikings fan and gets a little insufferable when he starts rolling, watching your game was, difficult lol.

I agree with the thinking here, challenge the idea we need to fly ties in formation just because that’s what you did in 1.0

Assuming points on ties haven’t drastically changed, you could get howlrunner in the list instead of the crackshots and since he now works at range 0 he is probably better value than crackshot. Math says crackshot is better than a reroll but you can’t math likelyhood of executing a bullseye.

It's ok, my buddy Mike Jones vindicated me by taking the Chicago regional from him lol

what's the best counter to ghost/fenn?

Half of Norra, apparently.

No, it's sacrificing Poe by flying him range 1 in arc of a Ghost. We're never going to let him live that one down.

Who’s everyone’s favorite Jeremy?

-Daddy

-Ugly Duncan

-Vikings Fan

-Hawkeye
