To build a bit of excitement for Worlds I am going to post Daily Facts in the run up.

Todays:

86% of players predict that Raddus will win Worlds.

All facts have been checked by Cambridge Analytica

I am 100% sure a human from Earth will win Worlds.

No fact checking needed.

I predict that 100% of players will use dice whilst playing.

I predict that no lists will contain more than 2 flotillas.

I predict 1 list will have absolutely no flotilla!

I predict there'll be quite a number of lists with two flotillas as well as several CR90s, Hammerheads and Raiders for cheap activations.

“Cheap” activations is kinda relative there...

Ackbar is going to win!!!!!

I predict an Ozzel fleet with a Combat Interdictor, Sensor Teams, NK-7s, Aggressors and Phantoms won't win.

Latest predictions say that no scum fleet will not make it into the cut.

It did seem like more of a challenge then a prediction to me...

Todays fact

An unamed member of the Canadian Mafia is facing treachury charges for packing Nym rather than Corran in his/her travel case in violation of the compulsory fleet build orders.

Will keep you updated as this on develops.

Sponsored by Cosmopolitan. Theres a galaxy of gossip out there.

It makes sense when you also hear rumours the entire Canadian player base had their blue dice collected in by men with slicked back hair and hairy chests, and warehouses full of traffiking victims were set to rolling.

I heard they found one that rolls crits almost 27% of the time.

God never intended us to have that sort of power...

I kind of want to see a fleet that does all it's damage by ramming now.

If this happened at Worlds, and it somehow won, I would expect them to adhere a copy of Hardened Bulkheads to the championship trophy......

Maybe the fleet that won was 3 Hardened Bulkheads Engine Techs MC80's?
