All PMs should be out now. Please let me know if anyone didn't get one or if you have trouble reading the message.  And sorry again about the delay!

I don't agree with this conceit that miniature games lack tokens, cards, etc.  Warmahordes, where most of the devs from AMG migrated from, used tons of tokens and cards.  I daresay more tokens than Legion uses to mark AOEs, buffs, etc.  I also think tokens add to the experience, not detract, and let your mind not worry about tracking tons of things at once.  3rd ed 40k suffered from this greatly to the point that I'd sometimes forget which units activated.
I'm in the camp of thinking Crisis Protocol has fine minis and decent ideas, but ultimately created a collectible game with boring objectives.  Some ideas were great, but I found all games I played to be overly dicey and boring.  I think Legion struck a nice balance between randomness and static, and they were good about iterating on their rules.  Outside of Kill Team, best minis game I've played.  
I don't think anyone wants to see AMG fail here.  But I also don't want to see a Legion 2.0 with new models/rules.  Best of both worlds would be keep Legion going as is while adding their own signatures to it and create a separate skirmish game like Crisis Protocol but make the missions interesting.

Pushed through and got everything but Gimli and Bilbo done!  Sloppy but fast.

Thank you so much for bringing this to us @shmitty.  I thought the questions were excellent, and was really happy that Michael Gernes was so enthusiastic and forthcoming with his answers.
I am more excited about the future of Armada!  I can't wait tho see all of the new ships and changes they have planned.

Restrict squadrons to 25% of fleet size. Max 100 points for a 400 point match, 50 for a 200...
Less squadrons will put the focus back on ship to ship combat (and not getting needled by single hits that overwhelm defense tokens) and in turn, speed up the game a bit.

That's hammer.
It was a long day working. You tracked the IP dress, roots, beeps and more nonsense and every bit of whatever you work on point towards Cal, or maybe Ebon... Who cares? Let's hung someone and get some fun.
Cal was executed. He was an Rebel Intel Analyst. He was town.
It is now NIGHT.

Yes, I'm a Rebel Intel Analyst. 
Frankly you all are doing the same thing you're accusing me of. I thought Matt seemed a little sketchy, and said as much. Now you all think I'm sketchy, and are jumping on me. I do hope you appreciate the irony here.

Hey all, sorry for the delay, work was a bit busy.
Biggs is right about nonsensical votes making things happen, but I also agree with Matt that they can be used as cover.
Looks like about 14 hours left?  I wouldn't mind leaning on Forty.  I fear starting a train too late may mean even an important claim wouldn't be able to route hammering due to the need for information, so maybe we should focus on someone sooner than later.

Dooooooo iiiiiiitttt

Btw I have a fun setup. Not sure about my skills to run it though.

Thanks for letting me double crash the game and still somehow make my win condition.

Yeah I wasn't sure how to handle that, I pmed Pod after my resurrection but before posting to let him know I saw observers and asked if I should still play, he said play on so I figured either it was a "pared down" observers or my time in this world was limited

I LOVE that 15 cards are must includes.  I also love that every hero has situational/"bad" cards, cause it's so fun and thematic when you hit the right moment and cards like legal practice become Eureka plays

I'm also a little perplexed why people don't want to vote Forty.  That reveals the most information and is the least risky. If he flips town you know I'm lying and Lord preyer is lying and you know exactly who to vote for. If he flips like I said he's going to flip then we know that Ebon is also compromised. Voting for biggs or Lord preyer is riskier and yields less info.

Because not lynching him means he recruits again, meaning he will turn one more of us 3rd party or scum.

Forty, your defense only came after I got you admitting you did nothing with either of your roles.  Reactive defense.  I know that you're scum, but I just need to convince the rest of the non-crazies.
When I died I got to the observers doc.  Everything wasn't explicitly spelled out, but some info was there, namely Forty visiting Ebon in a recruitment attempt.  Since we didn't see some night kills, I can presume he's scum or third party cult leader.  I only got in observers for a little bit before being resurrected, so that's about the extent of what I saw. 
Right now it's a binary situation.  Me or Forty.  Only difference is you KNOW what I at least was, even if I can understand the wackiness of this game means I could be anything now.  But if you lynch Forty and if I'm wrong, you can take me out.  But if I'm right we stop any further recruitment. 

Well I know for sure Forty visited Ebon, so now he IS caught in a lie.  It was one thing I was able to glean from the vagueries of the afterlife.  

##vote @FortyInRed, just so we're clear.  I'm 99% sure of him being scum.  

That also explains why there was no night kill even though he didn't block anyone.
