After listening to the latest podcast, here at Foss Central, we have decided that Jarens new nickname is "The Mountain". This, of course, means that Chris has to be Cersei Lannister for Jaren to be his "Champion'. As we foresee no problem with this new paradigm (who doesn't want to be Cersei?) it does, however, raise another conundrum. We can't decide which one of you is Jamie and which one is Tyrion. Your assistance in clearing up this matter would be greatly appreciated.

PS

I Agree

You just want to make me walk naked around town.

Seems good? I mean, I like looking at me.

That game is making them a lot of money and it *may* be shortsighted not to re-invest some of that money it is making into taking good care of it unless they have another big hit that will slide into it's place if it falls.

This wasn’t a Yes/No point. You assume because you haven’t seen an article in a month that no investment in the game happens?

No, I don’t think that you do.

No, and I wasn't really clear I guess and was just discussing.

I wasn't basing anything off of rate of article publication but their last interview with S+V. It sounds the company hasn't allocated as many resources to the game (or their playtesting practices) as I would have hoped, at least relative to the game's growth. The developers sound like they are really pulled in a lot of different directions (as you pointed out) when I guess I'd expect a game with the success X-wing is having to have a more dedicated crew (dedicated in terms of exclusive allocation, not that I think the current crew aren't passionate).

Ah, yes I see. Yes, FFG has a small team spread pretty thin.

Yeah, it’d be nice to have a dedicated team. Not sure how financially viable that is, but I do share that wish

And on the topic of Xwing getting attention, FAQ happens. Bye bye FSR. So long Genius Nym.

So will I still get a playmat if I enter a tournament with just an Academy Pilot / Bandit squadron Pilot and not drop? Or do I need actual lists?

The FAQ....its finally FAQQENING

Is TheZackMathews raging out right now? I feel like he must be cool because I don't hear him.

Wasn't it going to end with Harpoons anyway? (still happy with FAQ though)

Sorry, the fact that they never fix articles is really cracking me up. Tel is going to be the best Jumpmaster pilot now, and I’ll just fly him around the board while everyone says “hey, it’s Tel Travura!” And I say “no, it’s spelled Trevura! Look at the card!”

And then they’ll be like “I guess they FAQ’ed that e to an a. Tough luck buddy.”

And then my Greedo/Determination/Hull Upgrade Tel will destroy them all.

Edit: sorry! Wrong thread. Krayts on top!

The secret the entire time was that harpoons aren't good enough to kill FSR.

If you joust trip scurrgs with harpoons with FSR2, Biggs straight dodges one over 50% of the time. If it hits, rex still lives because it wouldn't be applied until the next turn. Frankly I've been sitting on that until mandalore, but now NOTHING MATTERS WE'RE FREE

What are the odds that quad Jumpmasters wins a regional?

I think it's better than 50%

Sounds about right.

I really really want to know how this will effect Nym's popularity.

How else were you supposed to channel the spirit of the Mandalore Open, besides posting it on a non-FFG page a week earlier and never addressing it?

If they do announce this nerf on the 26th though, this will all look pretty stupid.

Huh. I guess I'll figure this out now.

The follow conversation was secretly recorded last night at FFG HQ:

Alex: When should we release the FAQ?

Frank: Well, we can make someone look stupid on the internet if we do on the 26TH, or we could just do it later and piss off everyone.

Max: What if we just release it super early, and make everyone saying that we are ignoring them look stupid?

Palpatine: Do it.

I still think Biggs is good. In fact, it might be a slight bit better. Biggs will still be the first ship I try to kill most of the time, as if I get one of the other ships low, Biggs will be used and I'll have to waste a turn on him, VS. Just killing him first.

Today is a great day.

It truly is. Though my solid Plan B list just got sent out an airlock...

Whelp, guess I just gotta listen to Krayts to find my next list.

Don't worry, emergency krayt broadcast dropping soon. I uhh doubt it will help though

Panic!!!

Well, Plan A is coming up with a list of my own that's actually good. I need to overcome certain tendencies to achieve this. Like, the tendency to make bad lists...

It depends on how many people tried honestly. I was going to go full prize-wall with 'disrespect' that would be spendable to choose what you want out of my piles of mats / alt-arts I was printing for regionals.

Well, at least I can consolidate the mess that has been my attempt at sponsoring a bounty. Assuming you remember to mention it this time.

This is exactly what happened when I tried it today. I declined to use Biggs' ability on the first couple of turns and my opponent shot at him anyway to avoid the damage splitting.

No, I'm just dissapointed, the games just been solved, don't practice, don't analyze, just whine till what you don't like goes away.

Have fun with red dice power creep and kylo cuz that's what the game is now. We're basically back at wave 8 since nothing has been done about red dice power creep. I wasn't on the last episode due to work but I'm sure it's everyone jerking each other off over soontir and how fine thier playstles are and why everything else is the problem. I think I'm just out. I have to run a leauge because I said I would; but i just really don't care rihht now. I'm not dealing with wave 8 again.
