Relax guys.

Michael Gernes has begun answering my FAQ questions!

Oh, wait...those are my questions from wave 3/4 that already are in the FAQ.

Very thorough, if a little late.

Good.  They seem to be happy to answer or clarify email questions when they've been spending time working on the FAQ.

Wait... How is "you" used wrong on Indy?  Off the top of my head, I don't know of any case in which "you" is used inconsistently...

And also, now that you bring it up, it occurs to me that I've seen people asking if, if you have two ships with RLB, if one ship can deploy another's set-aside squadrons.  And the answer is no, because of the definition of "you."  



RLB specifically ties set-aside squadrons to the ship, because

The thing for me is 'it cannot move this activation' would be entirely redundant if the fighters placed were not being activated.

Because things not being activated can not move, period.

And since they are being activated they can fire, since that is the normal procedure and nothing tells them they cant.

Im not sure why there is confusion?

You can move without being Activated, during that ship activation.

Via Fighter Coordination Team, for example.

458 replies haha.... 

Dang we need a wave 5 Faq bad.

[Undeadguy 5,749]

YES!

LET'S DO THIS ARGUMENT ALL OVER AGAIN!

[Drasnighta 26,831]

Why Not?

I get a negative message or email on it about once a week even when I don't hang out in the rules sub-forum.

 

Not like I'm losing anything anymore.

FAQ you! FAQ you! FAQ you! ...you're cool...FAQ you! I'm out!

This is the thing that kind of puzzles me. I'm on team orange, myself, but isn't it sufficient to just say "hey, I disagree about this thing but otherwise we cool" and move on with life? Why be so nasty about it?

To Paraphrase (and combine) the last 4 messages:

Because I'm an aggressive/overbearing/know-it-all/condescending prick/*******/bastard who needs to know he's not better than everyone else and should thusly learn his place/shut the hell up/die in a fire.

 

 

Typing that felt a little Cybrid to be honest.

Or is that what you WANT us to think about you Dras? :-D

When the day finally comes and we meet, I'm still totally buying you a beer/beverage of your choice. 

Cheers!

They're just jelly. I am way more of all of those things than you are and I don't think I've gotten a single random nasty pm since I've been here...

During which activation?   This squadron activation,  or this ship activation?  

The card is poorly written.

Stahp. 

Please. 

This isn't the forum, the post, nor the time to do this again.

But if it means this ship activation, if you activated the squadron even separately from the action of placing the squadron would the squadron activation count as a subset of the greater ship activation and therefore still not be allowed to move?

As happy as I am to keep my gripe thread at the top of the forum... You guys can take it to the rules thread linked up there. ^^^

What I mean is that the card can be read both ways, and that's why it's in question.  Which is why we're waiting on an FAQ.  There is no further need to argue this here, and I apologize to any others who think I  am trying to restart this argument.

[Truthiness 5,696]

There is thread about this crap in the rules forum. Go use that.

[BrobaFett 4,209]

This is a glimpse of the future without a FAQ, a future where all topics turn into an anecdotal discussion about RLB.

We should all be afraid of the future without a FAQ.

Eventually, the Armada forum will become a singularity, where all topics are collapsed into one megathread about the latest pedantic rules question.

[Green Knight 9,731]

I'd like to point out that the answer to everything is 42. And that 73 is the best number.

I predict that we'll have 4273 posts related to RLB before we get a FAQ.

Will the FAQ be out before World's i wonder?!
