I am bad at XWM because. . .

• Build for theme and never for efficiency (a holdover from M:TG -- The Curse of the Goblin Deck Mentality).

I do this! I miss my Myr Deck (Don't miss MTG, however )

Because my local community plays 40k instead and I only play on tournaments and the VASSAL league.

I am bad at X-Wing because...

• YOLO
• I misjudge 1 banks
• I generally resist the meta
• I joust when I shouldn't
• I'd just as well throw the rocks onto the table
• I don't like leaving upgrade slots empty
• It's far easier to remember the mistakes than what I did right
• I forget interactions and tokens
• I shrug and say 'how bad can it be'
• Then it's really bad

There has to be a knowable answer to this question.

Not necessarily.

Imagine, for a moment there is an owl in a sound-proof sealed box. In that same sealed box there is a hand grenade on a random timer.

How can we know if the owl is fine, or if the owl went boom?

This is the third post in this thread that actually makes sense to me.

Just ask the cat

I am bad at X-wing because:

...Vader is un-ironically my favorite pilot

...I never fly netlists

...I rant and rave about Harpoons on the forum but use them on my gunboats

...RAC isn't my favorite Decimator pilot

...I hate Quickdraw

I'm bad because I think I'm good, I always play against the same person and he never not use Han and I don't use Kylo and hit that han with the worst crit.(and I use kylo but I never go for him)

Because I go out of my way to put at least 1 HWK or Scyk into any list I fky... Currently running a list that is just 2 of each

Scyk is a great ship though... my best list is still 5x mangler Scyks that list is an absolute beast. I will give you the hwk's are hard to get to preform but the Scyk is probably the best preforming scum ship platform for me at the moment.

I don't like to fly the best stuff and I have a hard time not jousting.

I am bad at X-Wing because I theorycraft jank and then never fly it.

Oh trust me I love them both. Before the Mindlink nerf I won a handful of tournaments with 4 Scycks. After that it was 2 HWK and a Y-wing, now its 2 HWKs & 2 Scyks.

I'm bad at X-Wing because I don't play enough.

Pretty rude of you to call me out like that, though.

If it makes you feel any better I am pretty sure I have only ever met one person who is actually good at X-Wing.

Fun fact: the only tournaments I've ever won were won flying Kihraxz, Scyks or both.

Before they were fixed.

You know what melts that Ghost/Fenn list that has everyone worrying? Yep, 5 Cartel Marauders.

Because I only fly for the glory of the EMPIRE!!!

And I like to fly casual, non meta, what I love...

If that makes me bad... I don't want to be good.

And lack of practice rounds lately...

Because by the end of game night my BAC is surely above .1, messing up my judgement and spacial perception.

My YT-2400 has hit a few asteroids in its day.

It means that if your gonna tie one on, be sure to give a friend your templates at the beginning of the night.

Sound advice. On another note...how old are you? I havent heard that phrase since the 1920s.

Younger than you, if you are old enough to have actually heard that phrase in the '20s.

A more truthful answer is I'm 50. But I like to play with language. So, I pronounce vitamins the English way, carry a brollie when it rains like the Aussies, use the term fortnight, and now will retire for the night. On the morrow, good sir.

One of my problems is, because of work, I have no time to practice and only get games in during tournaments. I've tried setting up Vassal but can never get it to work right for me. Another problem is I can't decide just which list to stick with as my go to for tourneys. There's just too many ships to choose from.

I'm bad at x wing because someone forgot to sacrifice the goat this week.
