2018 World Cup Qualifier Event

By BiggsIRL, in Star Wars: Armada

Speaking of which, I have the first bounty ready:

Wanted: @Green Knight - For Piracy, Murder, Sale of Stolen Goods

Green Knight qualified by coming in 2nd at the 2017 World Cup, and since then he has been hiding out, harassing shippers in this sector from his hidden space station. A freak space storm in the area interferes with the sublight drives of starfighters and smaller freighters, making them unsuitable for combat.

No Disintegrations: (Special Rules) Bounty Hunters will be First Player attacking Green Knight's Base Defense: Armed Station. Neither player is allowed to bring squadrons in their list.

Green Knight will post when he is available online to accept challengers. You can't schedule in advance for this one though, you've got to hunt him down.

He's been known to frequent the Euro Zone... some say it's the liquor others the girls that keep pulling him back...

COME AND FIGHT ME

Rofl that's amazing.

Sadly, I work during the times GK is usually on. I would love to do this one...

Love this... but time zones will probably keep me from having a chance at this bounty

Well I was hoping I could catch GK since I thought he would be on Vassal. Spoiler...he's not on.

Anyone else want to play a game right now?

I would love to go after him. . . but I expect to lose. . . 6 games before December seems easier than beating him.

Nice job though! Very nice bounty and well presented!

What happens if we lose? Are we disqualified, or do we still have a chance of qualifying normally?

This.

If you don't qualify folks, it is nobody in particular's fault but YOUR OWN. :)

Don't worry too much. More bounties will be posted. Probably closer to your zone.

Or the fault of 18 slots being filled.

Losing counts as one of the games toward your Fly Fast - Win Big qualification.

Great bounty system. I was hoping for this when you posted it but didn't know how you would implement it without surprising someone at random and watching them getting bombarded by messages.

But not for the 6 games one?

Boo.

Moar PODs!

Moar Playas!

Moar Destruction!

(Anyhow I think most will be fine because a lot of the "pre-qualified nerds" won't show and will make more room for us "non-qualified nerds"

Yes, it even counts for that.

Monday I have meetings in the city. Wednesday have work bowling social. So any other day I suppose. My preference is always 7pm games.

Just realised I'm in charge of round 2 for the All Out assault. So have to priortise that. But otherwise Tuesday starting at 8 works

You know it! :)

Count me in. I’ll probably have to go the 6 game route. I’m Pacific time zone and my best times to play are weekdays during the day.

Maturin vs. Darth Veggie is running right now!

Maturin vs. Darth Veggie ended with 119 to 415 in my favour (MoV 2-9).

Kudos to Maturin for being a great sport and one of the most pleasant people I have played with. Thank you for the game!

Green Knight was recently spotted near the Sleepless Nebula. Chances are he'll pass through the area again soon.

@GhostofNobodyInParticular is chasing Moby ****, err, Green Knight right now!

The forums doesn't allow for the title of a classic? These are the end times....

The chaser becomes the chasee as renegade Admiral Motti turns the tables on the bounty hunter 'General Dodonna', wiping out his puny dual super-pickles.

Motti was later heard saying 'we don't need their scum!' to his leading officers (except the captain of a Gozanti that blocked one time too many).
