X Wing Vassal League - Season 6 Announcment

By MysteriousRacerX, in X-Wing

Hello Pilots, it’s been too long! With great enthusiasm, we are ready to start Season 6 of the X Wing Vassal League!

Head on over to xwvassal.info to see our latest newsletter. Sign ups for Season 6 will begin on March 2nd. We had over 380 players register last season, let’s make this season even bigger!

Exciting, looks like you guys really want to tighten up organisation! I love how you now have set dates for all the important events. I'll be pretty busy around March/April, but I'll still find time to participate.

That's a big goal for this season. Last season, we added A TON to the league. We learned a lot of lessons, and are better equipped for this run.

For a new comer how many games would you be expected to play and how often?

http://xwvassal.info has all of that informaton compiled. You are in a division with 8 (9? I forgot) other players and the league runtime puts you at 1 game/2 weeks, very achievable, especially if you try and get in as many games early on as possible. Join in, it is tremendous fun and the Slack is a great community!

Approximately 8 games in 12 weeks. Check out the User Guide for all the info a new player might need.

I’m super stoked for this!

I’ll be slogging it out again in the unknown regions but that’s where all the cool kids are these days!

Idea:

division champs: whoever has highest MOV in their division gets some kind of prize (like bragging rights or a similar valueless honorific)

Thrawn is from the unknown regions, after all.

I'd be in favour of playoffs between the winners in each pod of each division, with the winners of the playoff moving upward an additional division.

Should be fun. I look forward to playing lots of jank.

I'm thinking of joining, I assume us newcomers begin in the outer reaches (or whatever the lowest rank is)?

Barring something crazy happening, this will be my first season I'm not in a new tier/level.

Sweet! Always a blast!

Yup, new players will start in the Unknown Reaches (tier 5). But don't discount the competition at that level, there are tons of really good players lurking down their.

When I started in unknown reaches a few seasons ago, I was in there with a Regional winner. In fact, my record has improved as I've moved up in the league structure, although that is probably as much luck as anything else. The point is that a lot of good players start in unknown reaches every year.

30 people and rising (all in the 8 hours when most of North America is sleeping), this will kick into high gear today, with the announcements spread everywhere.

Bump!

We're already over 100 players signed up, but last season we had 380- let's get everybody in!

We've got players from all over the world, including podcast hosts, big names on Vassal and a certain three-time World Champion...

We would be honored if you'd join us.

Another season of the vassal league is making me feel a little better about not getting World's tickets. We have space for everyone on Vassal!

Hey guys! I signed up for the new season. Was just wondering when we can expect condition card rewards etc. from season 5?

Just signed up.

Your question was brought to earthworm in the league slack.
