Everyone sticks together into the merge, Wedge in back so he can try to slow roll with BB8.. Then I try to block wth Biggs if he's still alive. In general I find people go for Wedge first after Biggs.

Poe cards are gone. 14 goons have sucked them up! For those Australians/UK people, I think shipping will be around $5. It should only be an envelope. I'll let you know after I go to the post office tomorrow.

Strobe posted:Current TTS league interest: This is the final sign up for the TTS League. I count 21, which means we will have three pools of 7 each. This is going to make matchmaking a liiiiiittle bit annoying to schedule, but it's okay because I am a masochist and the pain appeals to me. I will have week 1's games ready by tonight. Phase 1 will be a round robin within your pools. Phase 2 will be a semi-swiss between pools (i.e. trying to match the upper level players against each other to help ensure games are competitive). Phases 1 and 2 will both be six games and seven weeks long, with a bye in each, for a total of 14 weeks. Phase 3 will be single-elimination at the end of the regular season. This does mean that the schedule for Phase 2 will not be complete until probably the week before those games start. I will, however, have the first seven weeks' worth of games schedules ready this evening. Does anyone have any objections to this format? Everyone who's name is on this list, if you have PMs please send me your list in PMs. If you do not, send them to me on Steam (I'm strobe213, handle Strobe in the group). Additionally if you are not in the group, please let me know and I will see if I can get you an invite or added. Players are responsible for ensuring that their games are played. Use this space, or the Steam group to set-up your games. Once your games are complete, send the results to me either by PM, posting in this thread, messaging me on Steam, or posting the results in the Steam group, whatever you and your opponent are comfortable doing. Tell me the number of points destroyed, and who won. If a game does not take place, and one player made significant effort to contact the other to set-up the game, and the other did not respond or blew it off, that game will be considered a win for the player attempting to get the game started. Since this is the first week, and there may be kinks to iron out, players will have until next Saturday, May 14th to report the results of their games to me. Please do not play for three games and then stop bothering, it's really loving annoying.

Had a nice win against a buddy of mine doing Thug Life, with two of the four Ywings sporting ion cannons. I ran this list (title is a Mitch Hedburg reference): You Sure Like TIE/D (100) Rexler Brath (51) - TIE Defender Predator (3), Ion Pulse Missiles (3), Heavy Laser Cannon (7), Twin Ion Engine Mk. II (1) "Howlrunner" (23) - TIE Fighter Swarm Tactics (2), Hull Upgrade (3) Academy Pilot (13) - TIE Fighter Twin Ion Engine Mk. II (1) Academy Pilot (13) - TIE Fighter Twin Ion Engine Mk. II (1) I lost just one academy TIE before going to time. I was wasted two Y-Wings with one on deaths door and the other with no shields. I think I might drop Ion Pulse Missiles to give Howlrunner shields or something. She's great to run in a mini pack. Maybe pair her up with some TIE Bombers...

(and hopefully I can play matches against Australians/people in my region too, to make organizing times significantly easier..) I look forward to actually playing with goons! Fortunately I'm on a slightly earlier shift, so I should be available for a chunk of extra time during the afternoon (oztime), which'll hopefully help my otherwise-slightly restricted availability somewhat. (Free on Saturday though, which is US Friday afternoon-night) Also, what time on Saturday 14th May will it end, by the way? At the start of the day, or the end?

zVxTeflon posted:The tins come with the poe case? If so thats awesome and i doubly want one. If you find another one ill buy it off you No, the smaller tins are for Q-tips and are only $1 (some dollar stores will have them for $2). The larger Poe tin is supposed to be a pencil case, as I recall. There's a variety of them, but the ones I've seen have first order and phasma graphics. Try looking around any dollar store or convenience store in your area. I can only imagine shipping something like this would cost $5 itself, negating the cheap price you should be able to get it for.

I love the #yoloswag on the decimator though. He's a good guy, was glad to see him with the thing. He almost blocked Tel off the edge of the board in the last turn of the finals, it was beautiful. Also, it didn't make the stream, but the little dance he did after one-shotting the inquisitor was hilarious.

Soon we're going to win so much we'll be sick of winning! Please note the epic base + large peg to make sure he's always the tallest ship on the table. Also, the toupee and hat weren't attached to the ship in any way so it was falling off constantly to add to the effect. Here's the paintjob, a nice ugly spray tan orange with red/white/blue stripes:  With the toupee and hat:  Ship base w/ wall:  Banner view:  Also, I can take almost none of the credit for how well this turned out.

^^^ Edit: holy poo poo it's the TRUMPimator Speaking of Decimators, I took this list to Regionals in Tulsa this weekend. Rear Admiral Chiraneau Predator Darth Vader Rebel Captive Gunner Engine Upgrade Inquisitor Push the Limit TIE/v1 Autothrusters Proton Rockets Final record was 4-2, and ended up 19th out of 60. My favorite match of the day was against this rebel Z95 munitions swarm that had been cleaning up all day. He'd tabled three opponents in a row before me. This guy had 5x talas and blount. Two with thread tracers, one with ion pulse, three with concussion. I wiped him out, hard without giving him the chance to shoot a single missile. Dragged the swarm through a debris field, double-stressing several, then dodged blount's arc and killed him in one volley with the decimator. I did something similar to a crack swarm the previous round. It was beautiful.

Yep, this is what I was doing the whole time. Well, at least until the like 5th round when things got more serious as people were concerned about the cut. Nobody wants to hear "I KNOW RED DICE!

Got a few people to lose it when he blocked with a "The wall just got 10 feet higher", those were the best. The salt would have been real, though.

Chemmy posted:Are there any rules? Do we need the same list every week or are the six of us going to fist gently caress Strobe's XXX list with hard counters? Normal tournament style games, but you can change your list from week to week. Since this is week 1 and deliberately netlisting hard counters for your opponent is a Dick MoveTM, plus I didn't give a lot of warning to that effect, I'm not too concerned about it right now. Before the next match pairings are posted, I'm going to ask everybody for their list sent to me by whatever message service works best that isn't public (unless you don't give a poo poo what your opponent knows about your list before they play you). I was going to ask for those once matches were reported this round, but this sounds like as good a time as any to mention it.
