Intensity Jake is too great. If I recall correctly, you get to focus-jake-intensity-jake iinterrupt-intensity again-intensity exhausts. Pretty great, and you end with no stress, at least 2 focuses, and a focus/evade. Love it.

Can't double intensity, no. Still, 2 focus a boost and a barrel roll is respectable with a single action.

This is the most patriotic podcast I've ever heard...brings a tear to my eye

You're forgiven. I'm not a good arc dodger but Vader, Mithel (snap shot), Backstabber, Palp won me dice. I respect the power of the dark side.

Hah, that's an awesome list. I've been jamming vader quickdraw ol, it wasn't as good as I hoped but it was a ton of fun.

God, if only there was a FAQ entry on how Palpatine and Lightweight Frame interact.

There should be something about playing within the rules and not abusing them by intentionally missing opportunities.

But whatever, F Canada, amiright?

Vader/Quickdraw+ is such a fun archetype. Sabacc, Omega Leader, Countdown, Nu Squadron, Omega Leader, Tie Bomber, Zeta Leader. So many choices! All of them fun, none of them as fun as a Tie Striker for the 3rd ship.

Ran Quickdraw/Vader/Nu at the Invitational. Fun list. I used it to table Farmer and get my Krayt templates.

How much of those arcs in the cut are Poe, Corran or involved palpatine (Regen or palp aces)?

Updated those graphs with this, along with some tables of mean values for both all time and the recent tournament season. For primary regen it's any ship with only a primary arc and either R2-D2 or R5-P9. Palp is any primary arc only ship in a list containing palp, so a palp aces list will normally contribute 3 ships to these stats (while regen ships are treated individually). The cut results get pretty messy, but the amount of palp is striking:

More graphs at the link. The mean percentages for the current regional season cuts are here. The 3 columns are just the 3 things I plotted in my graphs, so ships can belong to multiple types in the first column but only one of the other two (so these two add up to 100% and the first one doesn't). Do these numbers sound similar to what you found?

That was one of my favorite parts of krayt cup. I'd put it just beneath winning krayt cup and winning the invitational, just above animal riddles.

Snarky/bitter/cursing/salty Ricky is best Ricky. Holy **** that was pleasing!

Well, I might have to hide in here today. The forum is particularly toxic today.

Take shelter here, child.

Three most popular topics of the day:

  1. Worlds Nerf III
  2. Interfering in streamed games
  3. Feelings about Harpoons vs T-65s (which isn't even an accurate heading - I mean... c'mon! just call it a nerf harpoons thread!)

Also - my post continues to put Krayts above that mess... On top, one might even say.

  1. Worlds Nerf III - If it's not a real FAQ, I don't care about your imaginations
  2. Interfering in streamed games - I know where I stand on this issue and don't care to argue about it anymore
  3. Feelings about Harpoons vs T-65s (which isn't even an accurate heading - I mean... c'mon! just call it a nerf harpoons thread!) - I mean why bother...

I get bored easily so tend to read just about everything, even if I don't respond to everything. Besides, one had T-65s in the title... I had to click! It was baiting me!

2/3 are unopened for me, and the third I just realized that should stop now or I will regret it again in some hours or days :D

This! The number of **** I give about community-proposed fixes/solutions/ideas starts with zero and ends with zero. I'm here for the strategy, BB-8 love and memes.

I wish strategy was a more present topic of discussion than the alleged cheater of the week or proper behaviour on stream/of stream watchers. The obvious answer of just ignoring Twitch chat generally works wonders for me and I get to teach my son what to do or not to do (or what to be on the lookout for, which is just sad).

Penny Arcade were right all those years ago (coarse language is contained in that picture, for those that care about that). The only thing the internet has proven them wrong in reaching the masses is that you don't need anonymity anymore.

On top?

The funny thing is, the whole krayt business was supposed to be a mockery/example of that and now... we're the wholesome ones? Truly we live in the dankest timeline.

I came for the mockery. Stayed for the wholesomeness that was actually hidden beneath it.
