Hey DA
you're a dick

Oh, it's a controversy all right. Not just final game. But most of the finals. Different problems, some...

Let me say, I played games in the Regionals this year and I played in 3 Regionals, that I had 8 or 9 rounds of gambit. Not low activation squads either. I played Lily who was running tempo San, Geonosians, Durge Speeder and we finished before time at GenCon and played 5 rounds. There was no slow play, we were ready when it was our turn. If I see another person count, recount, recount squares or measure over and over LOS, then spin Mas Ameda, or move a diplomat it will get ugly. We also, have to have a set time limit to set up, we had people taking more than 10 minutes EVERY new matchup to read cards, pick reinforcements, and set up...this was all day every new matchup. Sorry if I am rehashing but I just got a second to read before heading down.

There needs to be a 5 minute max setup and start and it needs to be rigid, that will place onus on the players to setup and no additional time will be granted. Steven was awesome as a judge, he wanted to be very fair knowing it was the Championship, and wanted everyone same time to play which I know is why he didn't warn them. He did go to the offending table(s) setting up and inquire about their readiness and stand by to hope they would speed up.

More to write later. I tested using a chess timer at a Regional this season and am going to use one religiously from now on. I will post my games and the amount of time myself and opponent used of the hour time limit. Maybe public shaming is the only way to go.

So..... there was slow play at Gencon... And the Vong squad caused a disturbance in the Force that completely altered who should of been in the top 6, and who would've played who...


Only one solution. Do nothing. Or do something.

Lets make SWM Great again!

Start by

A. Banning the Vong, because they are completely ridiculous to try and keep up with ( 10 minutes to read cards before a match even begins!) I am even for completely ripping all the V-set pieces away, and starting fresh. Keep it simple, Keep it Simple.

B. Act limits, and strict enforcing of rules during tournaments.

Part B has been an issue for a long time, because people in the community consider it casual gaming, and try to be friendly. Which I get... But at some point, rules have got to be strict.

Tennessee has been calling for this stuff for a while.... Maybe now more people will be open up to these ideas.

Your poem making abilities always astound me. and so fast as well.
HAHAHA

that is awesome!
SOLIDARITY!!


but how was Caedus screwed?

I'm not sure. I made a mistake with my squad that allowed my opponent to defeat me. While it did keep me out of the top 6, the rest of the speculation is a case of "Theoretical Minis". It is my responsibility to manage my squad first and foremost, and I didn't. Scores were turned in and my opponents victory was EARNED. No controversy or conspiracy to be had here.

That's a shame to hear that happened to you Caedus, but it seems that you have a good attitude about it at least. That is one reason I don't personally play vong though is that it is just so easy to forget one of the SA or CE that is being spread around, but talk about the worst timing for forgetting something, in the Gencon Champs!

I was more mad my opponent made 9 Parry saves in a row that should have killed him anyway.

If it is Sith Mastermind and he cannot use force on other things he probably had a huge amount of parry saves. Only hope was to use YY-Devotion, but that means that your own piece takes damage and auto fails armor saves and avoid defeat saves for the round, so it might have been super risky to use against Lothal and Mastermind.
