Vassal Summer 2017 Tournament

[Dr alex 591]

When the FAQ on dual turbolaser turrets refers to quad turbolaser turrets interrupting, is that deliberate or is it mean to be all about dual turbolaser turrets?

it just mean that you MUST finish the DTT dice modification to its completion before performing a different dice modification like QTC. 

Example: Add a red die for DTT. It comes up Accuracy. You must remove a die from the pool to complete the DTT dice modification before using QTC to add another Acccuracy

Ta, that's what I was checking

Ug, I'd rather we just continue the old way, especially since I have no way to keep my "hand" on the vassal piece. I can move a squadron in 15 seconds, even with nudges. It will take me longer like this, even with a second band, since I'll have to toggle everything else over and over to visualize that position. It won't be intentional slow play, but it will be longer than normal.

I'd say that whatever works for you and your opponent is the best solution. As long as you're both happy - and play is proceeding in a fast(ish) and consistent fashion I see no problem with continuing the 'old ways'.

But the official ruling, based on the new regs, are as outlined. I'm not going to enforce this, Inquisition style. Consider it a guideline, aimed at speeding play and improving consistency.

JUDGES

Looking for more judges.

I already have @CaribbeanNinja but I'd like 2-3 judges for each of the Euro and NA sectors, plus possibly something for Australia (not sure how many players are from that region).

Judges will hang around and be helpful, answering questions and providing rulings both if asked and if they see illegal play.

Only limitation is they can't judge their own matches.

[Tokra 2,147]

I can do judging for games, that i do not play myself, in the EU sector.

[Ginkapo 9,320]

Are you going to let me have the powers to arbitarily disqualify Tokra this time? 

If so, count me in

Of course!

Some good builder news:

Fab's is now up and running with wave 6 previews, including Leia.

Warlords is also looking at an update, but I'm not sure when it hits.

[Green Knight 9,731]

Still a few days left to register. Don't be shy - we have all levels of experience. Going to be a great experience.

Alright, I've mustered up the courage now, sign me up before it's gone again!

Amendments and updates will be made to the official unofficial FAQ sheet once I've drunk, like, 7 cups of coffee.

7 is unhealthy. Under 4 is recommended.

Do you want an FAQ that works or not?

It doesn't have to "work" and the players don't have to agree with the decision. We just have to follow it 

[Drasnighta 26,831]

If its so illegible that you can't follow it, it doesn't work.

Drinking my **** Coffee.

Only played a few random single Vassal games here and there, but I would like to give this a try.

Okay, some updates done, about halfway though, honestly...  Of course, if there's any Questions/Queries about the Unofficial Official FAQ - PLEASE PM me, so I can get an answer up there...  I'm not Omniscient about what actually needs to be answered, after all

Yea, can you include a clause where I can ask my opponent to run their ships off the board and they HAVE to do it?

No, but I'll totally include one where if Undeadguy asks their opponent to run their ships off the board, Undeadguy loses the game...  That seems fairer.

And Done.

 

....  tell me to limit my Coffee Intake, will you.

[ManInTheBox 618]

Count me in. I can bring my statistically average to poor tournament play to the world stage and fight tooth and nail for those 6-5s.

[Green Knight 9,731]

That brings us to 45.

Still a day+ left to register.

Does that mean that Leia is kosher for the tournament?

(Sorry if this has been clarified already, there's a lot of pages to read through now).

As long as you're not Luke Skywalker she's kosher.
