thats a stretch... who's going to keep Ryan in control now? I mean he swore *gasp* without Dee there. Mynocks will turn into Kryats Squadron soon enough without the voice of reason there to keep Ryan in check.

I didnt TRAV see anything TRAV wrong TRAV with a TRAV episode that didn't TRAV have dee on TRAV it. It's not TRAV like TRAV farmer called a guest the wrong TRAV name the whole TRAV podcast.

so are we not going to talk about how THEZACKMATHEWS was channeling Jeremy Howard with his Rex barrel rolls on the GSP stream?

You could have disrespected and said "not worth my time for a scrub". Trying to lose your Krayt Kard?

They speak plainly without euphemisms or sugar coating.

They make jokes that are actually funny.

I've only listened to their most recent podcast about the wave 11 meta.

Tried to listen the latest podcast couple days ago. After couple minutes of pointless talking about Pokémon and dismissive texts about Europe I had enough and closed it. Have no intention of listening that bull...again.

Glad I wasn't the only one.

I just had an epiphany. The X-wing miniatures game has a decision economy. Normal ships are the free market, the player is free to decide what to attack based on the merits of the situation. Ships like Quickdraw, Dengar, and Thane Tyrell are planned economies, where the government arbitrarily adds extra taxes to elicit a response it deems desirable. Biggs is a communist state, where there is only one product for sale, and that product is produced by the state. With Lowrick, he's like the East German Trabi, it's a crappy car, because that's all the state makes, and you have to wait forever to get one, because there's no competition so the there's no urgency. Like all state run economic systems, it's bad and no fun, and the only people who win are the crooks.

You're welcome.

GenCon 2017 makes it official: Carolina Krayts is the best X-Wing team.

Day One record: 23-1, only loss was an unwinnable Krayt v. Krayt.

Final table Krayt v Krayt.

They win nothing but true things.

Even Budget jumped ship from Mynock to join Krayt which propelled him into the cut. Quit X-Wing harder Dee!

259 pages to go boys!

Congrats to the Krayts on a truly ridiculous Gencon run! It is going to be hard for any gaming club, much less a podcast crew, to reproduce their monster 2017 Gencon result.

Jokes on you I already have the next FAQ and I'm leaking it. It's full of Krayt nerfs:

- THEZACKMATTHEWSCAROLINAKRAYTSPODCAST: "Each time this player is heard by another player across the room, this player must assign a facedown damage card to a friendly ship in play."

- Nathan Eide: Banned completely. Too powerful to fix.

Conspicuously absent is Chris Allen, who doesn't need a nerf. He needs a buff if anything.

Chris "Day Won" Allen was Top 16 and only did not advance because he was paired with Nathan!

Can't believe it hasn't been said here, but the only way to beat a krayt at gencon , was with a krayt

In all seriousness, do you think it was more due to squad selection vs the meta or raw talent?

Can we go for maximum ego and say both? With our powers combined, we go Super Saiyan and channel a Krayt Spirit Bomb. I'm also partial to this as an acceptable explanation:

Nah, seriously, at least for me it's just practice. I don't even want to go back and think about how much playtime we put into specific match-ups that we were expecting. Fun fact: the FSR plan for corran is to not draw Nathan in the cut. Whoops! With the meta in flux as much is it is (was?) during Gencon, just having the sheer volumes of games that we did against what we correctly figured the meta would be was a massive advantage.

Also, did you get your car sorted out? I never got a phone call so I figured that was... good?

I did, but they either lied to me or effed up, and long story short, the timing was such that I would have had to bail on elimination rounds even if I hadn't played bad on Friday and taken myself out of the running. So fun times. I got boned by the universe and myself, and like any team game, I can now just blame the other guy.
