Games The 26th SWC/EUC Starfighter Draft: The Last Rogues; Congratulations to DarkEagle, our Champion!!!!

You recently put Forge over Ooryl and I think it's pretty fair to say the consensus is Orryl is better than Face.

I think they actually have substantially dissimilar time in the air- their YV war records are bigly hugely different. Forge spent the war flying on the front line with the Rogues whereas Face and the Wraiths spent most of the war in covert ops commando positions without nearly as much combat flying.

 

My reasoning for that Forge > Ooryl was you made an #arg, my reasoning here was there wasn't one

Plus prob some recency bias-- I looked into Mercy Kill for Piggy and Face comes off about 1000x more scheme-y than Inyri, who seems kinda boring (again her X-wing series career took longer to warm up than the Death Star at Yavin)

...but mostly to bust your balls for half-assing it lol. You're gonna win my man. If Ace/Horton don't seal it I'll change my avatar to Thon.

 

@Point Given @ma_petite - you know what to do

 

Play to the whistle and all that etc etc

 

Speaking of, should we get a wellness check on @SithOverlord101

He was making like every other post back in Jan

 

@KenKenobi I'm alive -- my Mac just broke down last week and I had to get a new one yesterday.

 

@KenKenobi IMO, DE would win even if we go to teams.

 

I think that Piggy MIGHT have enough skill to defeat Salm with some dirty tricks.

 

CHAMPIONSHIP XXVI

A Box of Scraps (4) vs Thanos Snapped Away the Good Pilots on this Squadron (2)

#10. Derek "Hobbie" Klivian vs Kyp Durron

I’m old school. I know accident prone, blah blah, but I still think Hobbie takes down Kyp.

#5. Ace Azzameen vs Octa Ramis

I do think Octa is underrated most if the the time but she’s one of those pilots you have to be willing to argue for and I just didn’t see it.

#4. Horton Salm vs Voort "Piggy" saBinring

No contest. Piggy is used for teams matchups but not so much head to head stuff.


#9. Inyri Forge vs Garik "Face" Loran
Going Forge here, again I love Face and want to vote him over people in matchups like this if you give me an argument. Remind me of his awesomeness. Make me laugh and think of him fondly.

Thank the maker

Congrats DE! Here is a pic of an actual dark eagle for you, with S-foils in attack position, carrying a title belt that also features an eagle on it.

 

our one chance to get a Photoshop of Shaq-Thon-a-fool. As Ken's avatar. And we waste it.

Congrats, DE!

 

Yay! Finally

GG So and every one else who played and thanks judges for popping in from time to time


(my coworkers are looking at me strangely.... Maybe they want me to share some of this champagne with them?)

 

It's about time!

Congratulations @DarkEagle, a title well deserved!

 

Congrats also to Sith for one of the best rookie runs we've seen.

This was the 30th SFD overall right? There used to be a list of every pilot that had won a championship, idk if it's still up to date but fairly certain L'ulo and Shara would be new additions.

...so now what do we do? We should prob wait for ROS to do a Jedi Draft right? Should we do a Hall of Fame mini-draft? What about that anti-Draft idea where the entire goal is for your guy to, like, die instead lol

 

Here's a link to the Draft discussion thread, so that folks have reference to the entire discussion regarding those draft formats.

 

Nah 26th overall. I have the list for Jedi Draft, but haven't finished one for SFD iirc the last time I saw it was the 15th maybe?

Yeah that's what I was going to suggest- waiting till after ROS for the next Jedi Draft so we get that and Fallen Order included.

 

Congrats @DarkEagle !

 

@DarkEagle Congrats on winning the SFD.

@Point Given. We need tie-breakers for Kyp/Hobbie and Face/Forge (even if the results only matter for DE's victory margin)

 

interesting shipping there, pointy

 

Spice Time as the ship name?

 

Good game everyone. Well done DarkEagle.
