They list our participation as incredibly low...but there were a large number of people complaining on here about how we couldn't get tickets. The graph makes us look terrible but THEY LITERALLY SET IT UP SO WE COULDN'T HAVE A LARGE ATTENDANCE. "Hardly anyone showed up to this event" Ya, no shitary, you didn't sell us any fuckary tickets!!!.
UGH
NEW ARTICLE!!!!!!1!!!

Makes me wonder how they decide how many tickets they will sell.

not sure but I was really trying to not be salty about not getting a ticket the 3 times I tried. I thought "na, it's ok, it's a good sign that a lot of people are going and it's good for the game that so many people are trying". Nope, instead they only invited 7 armada players and then were amazed that we only got 175 games in which, for 7 whole armada players, is pretty impressive.
I'm like 96% salt content at this point, just ignore me.

Yes.
(Actually, I wonder what they define as a meal, that could contribute to this)
I wonder if redbull and a few lines of "coruscant snow" count as a meal?
Then again the 80's was always a F'ed up time anyway to be a wargaming...or so I've been told.
I will say, the highlight of attending the finals match WAS starting a "USA" chant after the ending.

Hmmm, I can't afford this type of trip at the moment but if they "Sold Out", which it seems like it must have been, you shouldn't put up a graphic that makes it look like there is less interest in one game over another. You sold out and played a max schedule for al, games, enough said. Another issue is Armada games are several times longer than X-wing or Destiny games. By nature that means less games can be played in the same amount of time. Plus we take up twice the table space of X-wing and probably 3-4 times the space of Destiny. It's all relative.
Something something self fulfilling prophecy.

yeah I would have to agree with you, they didn't say the tickets were sold out and that not enough armada players got a chance to get said tickets. Graph is really misleading for that fact.
So they don't allow many people to go to worlds and then make it look like there are not many people playing Armada.
.......
.......
I'll put the best construction on it and say they couldn't fill another grouping or something. But still....
19 drops?
look I don’t know about anywhere else, but I can name 6 Calgarians who were ready to go but couldn’t get tickets.
I think most groups feel the same way Dras.
We could have easily doubled the Armada turnout.
Do you think this is leading toward a legion style worlds revamp?
Ie worlds is getting too big so they will make it much smaller, invite only and you have to qualify via other bigger tournaments?

Wait, you mean 12 regional winners, with Euro, Aussie, UK and Canadian National winner auto invites for a solid 16 swiss? They would still give top 64 prize support.....

I was cringing at home and felt as if in a certain rally...
Smashed those card game losers though.
(Joking... I'm one of them...)
If tickets sold out maybe they made different world events (I don't think so, though).
I feel like OP support and support of the smaller games in general have seen less support since Asmodee took over. And that scares me.

Feels like they are building towards a reason they can sell to drop Armada.

^ This! I'll second it!
(especially since I alluded to it in another thread...somewhere....)
That's some high quality piece of _____ move FFG/Asmodee. Me and the crew last night were just talking about bailing on your company altogether for other reasons. This is like t-bagging us. Why the ____ should I give you money now? Also I'm the community organizer at our flgs, so why don't I just steer people to other producers?
Just, wow guys. Top notch ____craft right there.
