Are you interested in being part of the next Armada event? Fill out this form! A group of 4 contestants will be pitted against one another in 3 rounds, where they will create brand new, never before seen Armada lists to be analyzed by a panel of celebrity judges! Each round, one will be eliminated, until only 2 are left who will play one another on Vassal for the final round to be named Champion! This will all take place over roughly 4 hours, starting at noon EDT on Saturday May 16th, and streamed live!

It should be a lot of fun!

But there's a special twist. During each round, contestants may bid against their final round points to sabotage their opponents, forcing them to include things or deleting entire sections of their list! But be warned, points you bid in this way won't be available for the final round on Vassal, and you need to put something on the table!

Again, if you are interested, sign up above! Looking forward to seeing you next Saturday!

Ok, I look forward to seeing more about this.

Am I reading this right?

Round one: Each player creates a list, most depressing list eliminated.

Round two: Each player creates a list, most depressing list eliminated.

Round three: Each remaining player creates a final list. vassal match between remaining two players.

I think the round 1 list is the only one, but you can eliminate things from it to take your opponent's out. Is this right?

Correct (with a small edit)

Putting out a final call for people. I'll message you tomorrow here or on Discord.

At noon EDT Saturday the contestants will be making lists in Vassal to be judged by our panel of Celerity Judges for Playability, Creativity, and Fun. There will be 3 rounds, and at the end of each round, one of them will be eliminated by vote of the judges.

BUT! It wouldn't be fun if they couldn't interact with one another, so they will be able to bid from their Round 3 point total on sabotages to "aid" their fellow list builders in being creative. For example, if their objective was to build a Super Star Destroyer list, a potential sabotage might be that they get to choose which title each player will use. Only the player that wins the bid loses any points, and again that comes from their 3rd round points.

The 3rd round, seeing as it is only 2 players left, will be played against one another in Vassal.

Once the round begins, players will have 30 minutes to build the best list that they can, in Vassal. They can use outside fleetbuilding programs, but the final list to be presented must be in Vassal. Otherwise we can't really watch them build it in real time.

To be streamed live:

We go live in 1 hour!

Uploading this to youtube is a struggle. And... uh... I don't actually know how to edit things.

So... uh... want to watch 6 hours of this? It's on TWITCH AND THAT'S PRETTY MUCH IT for however long Twitch leaves it up.
