Hi! I would love to join in. Would anyone here be up for a game sometime soon?

I totally had to google this to be sure, but I think it might be the coordinates of the sinking of Bismarck and Hood.

They are, the theme I gave myself was "SINK THE BISMARCK!"

There are nine more Easter eggs in that post, can you find them all?

Bounty #6:  I don't have a lot of free time.  But if you somehow EXPERIENCE my list it is worth a bonus 3 tournament points for you.

Help someone else EXPERIENCE the list by brining it yourself for 3 tournament points.  

I Require a screenshot/photo of the game fully set up to hand out the points, and a brief description of what happened.
Specifically how often Konstantine was used effectively.

Nine more? I think I only can see the ones in plain sight: ONI (Office of Naval Intelligence), Swordfish (the fateful torpedo bomber), Norfolk, Suffolk (CAs), Cataline (the spotter plane), Ark Royal - that's six, so I'm still missing three.

I'm struggling after that, but I guess I'll have to have a look at 51,53/29,41 and the Aurebesh when I have time tomorrow.

51, 53, 29, and 41 are the four you can't find. ONI is not one.

Pennant Numbers! Hood, Prince of Wales, Rodney, King George V!

Wow, you guys sure play like you've got some pent up energy. We've got all 32 qualified slots filled!

BUT DON'T DISPAIR! This is not the first time all the priority slots filled up. It's time to build a STANDBY LIST! @BlackWolf is the first name on the list, and might as well be guaranteed a spot at this point, as I KNOW that some people have already said they won't be able to play. Let's keep building up the list.

Spot #2 is RESERVED for another tournament that is starting up and finishing before the tournament begins. I'm sorry the TTS Invitational was too late to get a guaranteed spot, but we'll reserve that standby slot #2 for it anyway.

Who will claim standby spot #3? There's a lot of folks really, really close!

Plenty of bounties left to be claimed as well! If you've qualified already, bug me on discord PM's if you want to offer yourself up as a bounty.

New Bounty Up For Grabs! 10 points if you CAN!

No one outpizzas the Hutt: Beat me with a Leia list* and you earn the bounty.

What's that asterisk there? Some minor caveats. First, you're using old busted 38 point Leia, while I'm using hot NEW 28 point Leia. You want the bounty, you gotta earn it. 4 ace limit in effect, and what the heck let's try this new grit intel thing, no other qualifications yet unless FFG confirms something else between now and our game.

Beat me with a Leia list and you earn the 10 points she dropped towards your score (this is Biggs approved).

Now to make this bounty sporting (and because I'm out of town), I get a 3 day head start. AKA I can't schedule games until Tuesday night, but it's a first come first served basis for scheduling games (PM me here or preferably discord for scheduling). Can you do what Biggs couldn't and become the truest Leia????

Wrong thread.

I'll make sure it is recorded.

@BiggsIRL I posted mine in the correct one after I realized that last night.

Bounty #7: Show Armada some love! Use FFG's Hashtag in a tweet about Armada (and tag @biggsirl) for a point! Anything Armada related will do! #FFGPlayAndShare

It has come to my attention that I am bad at math.

There are 32 slots in the world cup - 8 PODs of 4 players each. Not 36. Because of this I have given out more guaranteed spots than there are spots to give.

Also @icedbecker2007 has donated his qualifier slot to the winner of the TTS Invitational, so I've removed the "Reserved" bumping up everyone below it 1 spot on the standby lists.

any chance on qualifiing??

Just wanted to point out the @GiledPallaeon decided to offer himself up as a bounty despite not having qualified already, and I let him do it because I just assumed he must have been.

And then didn't keep track of his scores.

Bravo sir. Bravo.

My goal was to offer people some fun games. I'm not entirely sure I'll accept a slot if it's offered to me. I consider my mission accomplished.

Do we claim slots here or will that be a different thread down the line?

Different thread, different time.

The WVC signups / fleet submission process will start in late December, with the tournament starting in early January, as is traditional.

@BiggsIRL The Australian / NZ TTS tournament has concluded with yours truly in first position.

The whole thing was rigged. Rigged I tell you!
