a4rino - is your car fixed up? No lingering effects from the crash? And I realized when I heard the story from your passenger, that it was a bit ambigious as to who "he" was when he said "he ran a red light and we got tboned." Which one of you ran the light? Thinking back, I want to say that the other car ran the red and you tboned him - it would explain more why the airbags didn't go off, though I suppose it could have been the opposite - you ran the red and he tboned you.

Everyone is okay but my car is still in the shop. The accident was my fault - the light changed and somehow I didn't see it. I managed to slow down before impact, and the roads did have some snow on them which allowed my car and the other car to slide together after impact (instead of it being like hitting a wall). I'm guessing that these factors (combined with the fact that it was only a 40mph road to begin with) are why the airbags didn't have to deploy.

Scary experience. In my 9 years of driving I'd never even been pulled over before, let alone got a ticket or caused an accident. Fortunately everyone was okay.

Afterwards Toggle joked that I didn't get to perform an action because my car overlapped the other driver's car.

Hold up - is Toggle the sn of your passenger? I never knew that.

Yep, that's Toggle.

Oh hi.

FYI, I should be heading to RIW early tonight if you're debating on showing up early.

I've got to stop by canton computers for a SATA cable, and grab dinner, then I'll be heading there.

You mean the Canton Computers that's not actually in Canton? Gotchya. Heading out from work now, so a quick stop at Taco Bell and I'll be there soon too.

Figures you show up the week i don't.

Have fun guys!

I actually got a bit hung up here last minute. Might be a little closer to 6:00, than previously planned.

Good games last night. Glad to see so many new faces.

Other news, I think I liked my second Ibby build better.

Prototype

Rookie

Roark w/ ICT + Chewy

Ibby w/ Elusiveness + Sensor Jammer

I'm considering dropping elusiveness though. It's a nice fluff thing, but its really sensor jammer that I'm going for. I could get PTL if I dropped chewy, leaving me 3 points... But if I'm getting rid of Elusiveness, I'm really just putting sensor jammer on a B wing. So then it begs the question of how to best do that? Thoughts on the following?

Prototype

Prototype

Blue w/ Sensor Jammer + Ion Cannon

Ibby w/ Sensor Jammer + Ion Cannon + Swarm Tactics

With the logic being if I can ionize you, then I know where you'll be, and the A's can swoop in and block, action denying. Then the B's (both shooting at PS6) can come in for the kill, and without an action, you don't have a focus, so that's basically -1 die. The weakness is that once Ibby dies, I'm shooting at PS 2, 1, 1, which is much worse than my Roark build. Plus then she's not stressed, so she doesn't get her reroll. But with the number of red maneuvers on her dial, I can basically say that when I'm stressed, I get a mini action, or if I'm not stressed, I get an action (unless I'm blocked).

I must be X-wing player repellent. Always new faces when i'm not around...

So, I just got a few extra beta keys to Star Wars Attack Squadron, it's valid through Monday. Lemme know if you want one before I post out to the rest of the forum.

Is that the web browser real time one?

Yup.

I'm interested, Khyros, if you have keys to spare. I signed up for the beta but evidently wasn't selected.

Khyros, Thanks again for letting me use your ships and stuff last night.

I would also be interested in a beta key for Attack Squadron if you still have one available.

Ah shoot - apparently my keys were only valid yesterday. I went this morning to play and it won't let me. Sorry if that screwed you guys. It says testing is going on till monday, but it must not be everyone gets to test the entire time =/

And no problem borrowing my ships - its one of the reasons I have so many =P (so I tell myself at least). Glad to see you getting hooked into the game!

The schedule for Attack Squadrons says Sat-Thurs, 1:00-9:00 Pacific time. You might try the code again then.

I managed to get it running last night, but it doesn't appear to be available right now. I think they took it down for now.

Last night the resolution was stuck at 640x480 for me and the UI was illegible because of it. Hopefully when they open things back up they will have fixed that issue.

EDIT: I see now what MrHello was talking about. They posted a beta schedule:

I'm thinking of showing up to Shenanigans tomorrow. I have another with ninjas to test out =P Anyone else want to show up?

I want to show up, however i won't be able to.

I can probably drop in for a game depending on the weather. I have a crude rebel list I wouldn't mind playing around with.

I'll be there, obviously. Theme is just regular 100 point lists for the night as well, so finding a game won't be hard either. I get up there around 6.

Eh.. I'm working from hometoday... so that's a no go for tonight

Not a problem, it wasn't going to fit in my schedule very easily anyway. See you on Thursday.
