I must be listening to the Krayts with my kid in the car too much (yea yea yea, bad choices) because recently he has started using the phrase "you're not wrong"

New krayt bounty: get wiredin's kid to tell an opponent he doesn't believe them at a tournament.

@Biophysical are friday or sunday night good for you? We might rope you into playing against @Starslinger72 Tyler "The Trench Run is Unbeatable, Empire DOA" Tippett and either just run with what we've got, or have you yolo assemble what you think might be 200 point squads and see what happens?

Just depends on what gets revealed Friday I guess.

I'm probably good for Friday, less certain for Saturday, but possible. I'll give the original squad a spin just to see how it goes.

When my kids screw up my wife now tells them to "Git gud". That has stuck with her.

he has done that to his mom already during a game of battleship.

Chris Vetoed this bounty, but I was in on

- Making a guide of how to play Ghost Fenn designed for children

- Making cards that say "I'm X years old (optional version that also says "And I can't read")and I just won: Ghost Fenn doesn't take skill"

- Giving prizes for both parent and child for every card distributed after a victory, bonus prizes for making cuts, etc.

This was deemed "Too mean/sadistic".

Oh ****. My wife works all weekend. Looks like I've got some work to do with my 6 year old. And just in time for store champ season!

Can the guide be similar to the Airline "How to" pictures?

We were also looking to a way to have an entirely prescripted game with quad wookiee- How to fortress and then immediately death spiral. It's easier as there are less triggers.

If you actually plan on doing this, do you want me to make cards that say "I'm 4 years old and can't read- Wookiees are not fair nor balanced, and take no skill"

For prize cards, I can make a set of 4-year-old doodles into AA pilot and upgrade cards.

I only got one wookie.... but that would be hilarious.

It would probably have to be a video- These kids can't read well- that's the point!

I would think the easiest squads to teach to children would be Trip and Quad Wookiee since you just spin in circles and roll dice.

Ah, looks like that doc is missing Afterburners on Vader though.

Include afterburners as an afterthought?

I'm debating sending you money to buy 2 more, as well as making AA expertise, Tactician, and (something to use the remaining 4 points on) cards. Maybe I'll get a local who owns 4 to mail you 3 loaners? OTOH, It's funnier if each is also painted by a child.

Also- to anyone that wants these, if you send me child-doodles, I will make them into AA cards.

I was wondering about that. Makes a big difference.

Paging @skotothalamos. Is this missing for any reason that we are unaware of?

I might be able to get loaners locally. I'm more worried about his attention span than anything.

dice showed up by the way thanks

The list at Worlds did not have Afterburners on Vader.

The Vader list in the BoLS video is exactly the same, except with Afterburners on Vader.

I don't know if this indicates a points adjustment between when the BoLS video was recorded and Worlds, or if the other two lists for Worlds were slightly less expensive than the BoLS Rebels, so they took that off Vader to keep it even. I decided to go with the later list as more accurate, but there's an Afterburners in there (on one of the Wedge builds) if people want to give it a run on Vader.

edit: I double-checked the Worlds videos: Here's the Vader build Alex Davy was flying:

Sense, Cluster Missiles, FCS

I have edited the document with these notes, so people can proceed as they wish.

Weird, thanks! I guess let's just use afterburners because it's cool? Whatever, haha
