He's not wrong, though. That bank boost allows for so much flexibility. Barrel roll + bank boost is the classic "I can shoot you, but you can't shoot me" move which is also kind of the problem with aces *shrug*

You forgot this and all of the remote rules

Who doesn't want to read a small novel to field the cheapest ships in the game?

Don't jump too far ahead! That's part of Chapter 2: Catelyn.

Also, to avoid a double-post and to return to your mentionings of the Howlrunner Tax, I'd like to remind everyone that with the TIE LN base being 23 and Howlrunner being 40, 7 Academies and 1 Howlrunner run at 201 pt. That is not a coincidence.

Best use of the "thank you" emote ever

also, felt real good knowing i could help two other players get closer. Plus i got a lot of tickets for prizes to bring back to locals. Win win win

Second question:

Why would you NOT want to take a purple evade with any Jedi with more than one force charge on your bar? (Hello, Brilliant Evasion?)

Purple actions are inherently bad. Just look at Vader. Almost all of his actions are purple.

Oh, worlds listfortress is done:

Matchups and everything should be right, except I couldn't find scores for the cut. All those games have the score as 1-0 because I have no way of knowing what they actually are. If you played in the cut, feel free to go edit in actual data, but even just having game winner/loser is dramatically more valuable than anything we've had in the past.

My separatist plan had always been to let someone else figure it out, architecture is overrated, why build the building when you can wait and live in it for free

There is no such thing as free architecture.

TINSTAFA just doesn’t have the same ring to it.

Data is all matches in worlds Swiss (I'll add cut games some time). WRF and WRNF are win rate in finished games and win rate in not finished games. I want to know if a certain faction (and, when I get around to it, archetypes and pilots) gain a real advantage when games aren't finished. Causation notwithstanding, maybe rebels and scum actually prefer games to go to time, while FO and resistance prefer to finish?

Ultimately I hope to find the "real" culprit for games going to time a lot. Is it scared aces or mechanically demanding swarms?

so, if I'm reading this correctly (and correct me if I'm not).

Looking at republic:
They have the least percentage of finished games (45%), and have a worse winning % when games are finished before time versus going to time (47% vs 50.9%)?

The intensity of peoples' desire to have 200-x games being the only "valid" definition of "Finished" is disturbingly beginning to look more and more like a cult...

Correct. By contrast, the FO (small sample size) finishes about 50% of games, winning 55% of games that finish and 44% of games that don't.

That's fair. I plan on changing the threshold from "no one got 200 points" to "winner only won by x points and the loser still had firepower left", where x is 20, 30, whatever. But it's incremental.

Thank you much! As someone that has to rely on stats & videos since I don't get to the big events, the work is much appreciated.

I've entered my first 2 cut games that I know sure. I'm not 100% sure about my top 32 but pretty certain so I entered it but Dominick is free to correct me. Going to have to wait until the GSP video is posted for my top 16 as honestly I don't remember, so hope that is OK.

Sort of.

Like, part of the problem using the 200-x as a proxy for "going to time" is that plenty of games that "go to time" feel resolved as well. Like, one player is basically in an unwinnable position, and time was simply called.


Rephrased - not all games that go to time are "unresolved".

I agree. However,100% of games I lose that go to time are unresolved.
