5th Annual Vassal World Cup
3 hours ago, Admiral Theia said:My toddler is doing this too. They were sleeping spectacularly, going to sleep on their own. Now it's five wakeups a night and unwilling to go to sleep without constant "pat-pats". I've gotten them to going to sleep just with me in the room, no pats, but still a pain. Still easier than the older kiddo was though.
Seems like a trend then as my 2 year old is refusing to sleep al of a sudden as well.
Assuming we have full players, submissions ended 34 minutes ago.
If we don't they remain open.
I am at work.
🤷♂️
World Cup 2020 is a go, we had 33 players sign up before the Midnight GMT cutoff so... someone from the At-Larges is going to be sad.
I'm keeping the folks that missed the cutoff (and whoever the at-large leftout is) as standbys in case someone is too important to play online plastic spaceships. Two players missed the cutoff. You probably know who you are.

I think objectives are so good now that it doesn't really matter of you go 1st or 2nd. May as well max out points!
Edited by OutboundFlightYou want a bid?

POD E is up.
187-Leon - shows up with Romodi and ISDII / Onager and (almost) no bid.
Green Squadron 3 - brings a double pickle Ackbar and a 20 point bid!
Green Knight - is back with a Romodi... and an ISDII / Onager with no bid.
Trogdor04 - drew the short straw and makes this one of our two multi-continental PODs. He's got an Ackbar fish farm with the highest squadron compliment of the POD at... 75.
nice promo, guys, well done.
http://www.steelstrategy.com/p/2020-vwc-pod-f-na.html
Karneck - heads up POD F with another Romodi Onager build, this one with a Kuat
Angry Ewok - makes me angry by not using a fleet builder to post his fleet making me add up his points manually. He's an Ackbar with squadrons.
duck_bird - has an Agate MC80, Salvation, and a ton of squadrons
Antisocialmunky - does Onager / Victory 1 and a bunch of squadrons, but with Piett on the VSD.

Outbound Flight - has our first Jerry of the day! A double ISD - II-Class and Kuat with 2 TIE/I's as a speed bump.
Before we do the last POD, here's the Standby fleets. If you're on standby, hang around. If folks drop out (or no show) within the first week or so, you can jump in to their POD!
http://www.steelstrategy.com/p/2020-vwc-standby-fleets.html
CommanderDave - is the odd man out with a Romodi fleet of actually eligible players. Sorry Dave. You get an automatic entry into the 2021 VWC and the first standby spot
deDios - has an Ackbar Pinata Fleet, and was about an hour late with his submission. But what the ****, automatic entry to the 2021 VWC. Be a bit faster next time. 2nd standby spot.
PartyPotato - was a bit too late as well, and showed up with Jerry, 2 VSDs, and a bunch of squadrons. Looks familiar somehow. Automatic entry to 2021... but submit earlier if you want to play! 3rd standby spot.
There is an issue with POD H. Standby.
The issue will be resolved one way or another by Midnight GMT. (~6 hours)
Games for posted PODs can begin now.
The good: Only two instances of Ciena are currently in this tournament so far.
The bad: One belongs to Broba, and if there are more they’re in my pod.
My contributions to list building are made even more amusing by the pods they ended up in.
Shame no one brought the six activation SSD MSU
****. Thought I had till the 16th. Was busy all weekend at a Legion Tournament. Lol.

On that note, we have no prevoius VWC winners playing in this tournament... but a few folks who have been runners up.

D) "E Chu Ta"
