Siggy and Finster, when are you guys free? I'm pretty sure I've got you both on my Steam friends list (same userID). I'm in South Australia, so I'm pretty sure that doesn't go too well with either of your schedules, sadly :v:

Overdesigned and Strobe, I have all the stuff set up already to stream if you're interested.

Overdesigned, Strobe, and Talas: I have the alt art Maarek Stele's from the 2016 Stele Open I promised to the winners of each pool like 230948 years ago. Just need an address to send them to! Alternatively, I can send them all to Strobe and he can mail them out, if you don't want to trust some shady guy on SA with a mailing address.

Talas and Strobe: Let me know when you guys want to play. Generally Thursday-Sunday EST evening is best for me.

Overdesigned and Brunas: the next time I'll be able to play is Saturday after noon, but I'll also be available Sunday evening and (next) Friday hopefully all day to knock out some games.

I'd personally be more comfortable if you handled mailing stuff out. It'd also shorten turnaround times for the other recipients.

I'm free this Thursday around 6pm CST, Brunas.

CROSS-POOL GAME WEEK ONE:
General Battuta versus Admiral Joeslop

Langolas versus Admiral Joeslop

I feel like I've played you both before in which case we've already exchanged Steam info. If not, my steam name is Admiral Joeslop (http://steamcommunity.com/id/Joeslop/). Feel free to PM me on Steam or on here. I would prefer to get both games done before the 14th or so because I'm moving the 16th and the days before and after will be hectic and I probably won't have Internet.

Hey siggy2021, here's something that should make you feel better about how the first seven weeks went: Out of the seven people now in pool 1, FOUR of them came from Pool two, and were your opponents in the last two months. Over half of the top bracket is made up of Pool Two.

Strobe, is there a preferred way that we send you our lists and game results? I'm just trying to think of ways to make your life easier. Specific PM formatting, Steam messages, etc.

Strobe

PMs are by far the best way to tell me. If you want a specific format, then go with something in the topic line like "X-wing League Week X, <player 1> versus <player 2>, <result>" where X is currently 8 (or 9), and the score is formatted in Player 1 - Player 2 so that if player 2 won and player 1 killed 30 points, the score would be written as 30-100.

Put whatever you want in the body, but that'd help me significantly in finding games in my hideously overfull PM inbox. If that doesn't work (or anybody reading this doesn't have PMs) Steam is the next best way.

Odds are good that if you only post it in the thread I will miss it one way or another.

I'm not sure what a reasonable time would be. It looks like you are about 13.5 hours ahead of me if I'm looking at this right.

I could possibly get up early Sunday to play in your evening.

Early November up here is usually in the 40s or 50s, though someone will be happy to tell you about the 3 foot snow storm on Halloween back in the 1990s. Anyway, weather shouldn't be the thing to dissuade anyone from coming to Worlds (I wasn't even born here so I don't think I'm too biased). That being said, I got the throttled error as well, so I may not be attending regardless!

What do people think of a y-wing with an ICT and stressbot? Basically, cause the stress, and ion, and the target won't be able to clear the stress (unless they have nien-numb or an r2 unit)

It won't work against most aces since the cannon won't hit and it's only range 1-2 which is too easy to dodge.

I've tried it, but the R1-2 on the ion cannon was a problem. It's pretty easy to get caught at range 3, only inflict one stress before the opposing ships jump into R1 to kill the y wing.
