Get in line, bub: I've been waiting for that shrimp AA for two years.

It's gonna be a crappy Scout when it comes, isn't it?

Okay I'll get in line, but when they release a shrimp alt art it will be the scout and when they release a Arquitens alt art it will be a command not a light Cruiser thats how FFG does it it's always the lest used ship/card, but a least when this happens we can cry together.

Not really. When the AF came out it was actually more popular at the time. BOTH ISD variants are out now, and the Assault MC80 is generally more popular. Basic GR trumps combat GR, as does CR90A. So FFG does put out the right alt art much of the time.

Lately, the only part of the prize kit that I care about are the defense tokens. I hope it is redirect tokens, but scatter would be nice too.

I can't quite recall, and the wiki is incomplete, but have they ever retreaded a prize that was available only at Worlds or Nationals to a level that some of us mere mortals have the opportunity to attend? Contain is not my most-used defense token, but I love having complete sets.

Not as of yet.

They do seem to be making the attempt to make them available on the prize wall - but that so far has only been at Worlds and Nationals as well...

Quick update, the prize kit has arrived. Unfortunately, the holiday prevents me from getting pictures out today. But I’ll be there tomorrow and get all the pics out ASAP.

At least where I play I have never seen AF-A played and the glad alt art was the gsd-ll, that has become more popular now because Jonus is amazing, but was definitely not the choice when It first came out, and with the mc-80 I feel at least in my area I never saw an assult until wave 5, It might be that I'm just remember in most tournaments that I went to at the time I felt like it was the 'wrong' version, but looking at game state now I can agree with that currently most alt art cards are of the popular variety, maybe next time I get an alt art cards I feel is wrong it's just ffg saying we're going to buff this with upgrades in the future.

Darn.

Well, I've been doing more practice and cogitation on the game in preparation for this regionals than I have for a while (not that this should be impressive, given that level). I'm also not just tossing together a this-might-be-neat list at the last minute. I'm hoping to get into the Top 8. Whatever the prize pool, I'm going for it!

Btw., I'm a bit disappointed in the low number of Regional Championships this year. Any idea why they're so few? I'd have made the drive to Big Vancouver in addition to the one in Little Vancouver (known as Vantucky to some ungenerous souls).

Other than Mountain View, CA (Dan Francisco Bay area), Calgary is the closest to me.

I'm the same, I just can't stand to have only a few of the set.

Fine, you get your own committee.

Anyway, did you ever get your passport? I say we invite ourselves to Dras' place so we cheap out on accommodation, while we pillage the locals' prize pool.

This really wasn’t even that bad, and at least a few other members got a chuckle out of it, so I don’t quite understand how that offended you so badly

Nobody said anything about being "offended badly," you were asked to please refrain. It wouldn't be all that hard.

Seeing as the comment was a page or two back and I hadn’t said anything since, I’m just surprised that a little off color joke would have even warranted a response as if it was so upsetting

Well, the casual sexual objectification of women might strike a woman as more than a "little off color." There are reasons there is such a gender imbalance in the game, and this is one of them.

I can see how that would offend, and apologize as that was not my intent. The joke stemmed from the ability of sharing her defense tokens, and I would have made the same joke if it was on a guy ace. Gender was not even on my mind.

My game group is made up of men, women, and trans men/women, and I thoroughly enjoy playing this great game with all of them.

A man who is constantly seen in the company of escorts would be subject to as much ridicule as a woman would in the same situation.

I see what you did there

Can we get back to the topic? Where is kit content, please!

Oh how funny that you believe that! And even if he were, it would be of a much different variety. **** shaming is never cool, and such references are inappropriate in this setting. Same would be true for **** jokes.

"It's okay, I have black friends". Yes, that's basically what you said. Some aren't offended by it, that doesn't give you carte blance.

Anywho, I really can't wait to see what's in the kits. We are only a week away from ours, and I'm dying to know what's up for grabs. Plus, I'm going to be running (captured) imperials for one of the few times ever, so we'll see how it goes.

As I was typing my response I was wondering if someone would hone in on that last bit and completely disregard the main point of that post, in which I acknowledged how I hadn’t considered how else the joke could be taken as degrading toward a certain gender and apologized...
