Gen con is fixing to start...and....that faq never happened.

The obvious thing to do is have everyone attending bring a different list that will force one of the missing rulings to be made. By the end of the tournament we'll have fleshed out the entire faq including all follow-up questions.

Except we won't. Rulings even at top tier tourneys have been wrong before, both according to the letter of the rules on cards and according to later FAQs. Tourney rulings might give info but they're no more official than any other well informed opinion.

Woosh!

You're implying that OP at gencon actually have the FAQ? Doubt it.

Double whoosh.

No, I'm not implying that.

ViscerothSWG was clearly making a tongue in cheek comment. Obviously people attending gencon aren't going to choose lists just to put pressure on FFG. It would be funny to force them to come up with answers to a lot of unanswered questions, but it's not an actual solution to being FAQless.

Your reply boils down to "Uh, sorry, no. You're joke would not be an acceptable solution. Here's why..."

Whoosh was the sound of the of the joke flying over your head.

Okay, okay - but is there going to be any streaming?

You know, FFG can release a FAQ without making it effective immediately.

They could release it and say "Effective August 21st, 2017" on it.

Just throwing that out there.

Funny you should say that, someone actually did that in Netrunner. I can't remember if it was at GenCon or worlds, but someone played a card with a 'trash an installed card' cost to use an ability, which didn't clearly state one of your own installed cards, and called a judge over every game to get a ruling when he attempted to trash his opponent's cards to pay the cost.

Granted that's one card in a deck of 45-49 versus at least a quarter of your list, so it's a bit different, but people are nuts.

Well it was never to happen...

Doesn't look like it's going to happen. What we have is what we have.

Do we really need another fix thread? :P

Exactly, with all the upheaval the leak created why would FFG in there right mind release it? After all as soon as a new FAQ is out people will be complaining about their fix (nerf) was not added in and FFG should go bankrupt and no one should ever play X-wing again because of it.:rolleyes:
