Our rules have been updated and given
their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!
Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it,
follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.

revisionist history is silly when it's 5 minutes after the fact and the truth is actually recorded.
edit: also at this point I am not willing to entertain the notion that you are even remotely capable of arguing about this in good faith. I have no desire to continue interacting with you when you are acting like this.
Get your mousegaurd books if that will calm you down a bit but I reject your attempts at argument thus far.
pnp = Pen and Paper = the old ways of nerddom and high fantasy roleplaying = take my +1 mace and hit horrid demons with it.
hello
ah i thought it was another acronym like player vs player or player vs environment
Plug n play, yeah.
Pnp here is pen n paper
i'm an innocent man just sitting here reading a thing about set theory
fuck my butt, bro
what's up
I dunno chu, I think Geth's vibrate settings are set to lethal levels. You may end up liquefied.
Indeed. I vaguely feel like the x-wing was kind of an older tried and tested design in the story? The TIE was this new cheap little kamikaze thing with fresher technology.
i told you I am sick of this mac vs pc shit
I seem to recall that to the rebels, the pilots were kind of irreplaceable. Apparently it was harder to acquire insurgents than equipment.

Much like in the real world, finding someone crazy enough to fly in one of those things and actually have them live for more then a few weeks in that capacity is pretty hard.
Blatant, naked Racism.
All of the ones I know let their hair air dry
in the games I've played, the Xwing was developed by the empire (who had the resources to do so) and its schematics and prototypes were stolen by the rebellion.
I would guess with at least the tacit acceptance, if not outright support, of the emperor. Because, prior to the rebels getting insanely lucky against the death star (a weapon that is useless against a rebellion but perfect for keeping down ambitious admirals with their own fleets), the thing the emperor needed most was a public menace and scapegoat.

My sister uses a towel. I am glad when I see how long it takes that I don't have that issue.
In many ways it matched the tactical philosophy of the two sides. The rebels were focused on saving lives and small tactical strikes. The empire was focused on overwhelming force and victory at all cost. It it cost fleets to take a single inch so be it. Te rebel ships had to be able to run, imperial fleets had no such need.
Yo.
Which is what you would need for hit and run terrorism.
Who needs shields and training on how to aim when you can just throw ships at it?
whoa whoa whoa, calm down, don't explode on us
I didn't want to only buy the british campaign and went back to buy all campaigns and I think it ditched my progress. lame.
Okay, nonetheless I love this game and am buying the all campaign pack bundle and and debating the all skins bundle.
$9 for a good Sid Meier turn based game is not unreasonable.
Naw, the X-Wing is an experimental design the rebel's aquired/stole. The TIE is supposedly slightly older but they are basically the same generation of fighter.
Well the hyperdrive gives them some really interesting flexibility from a strategic level. You can't insert a couple of TIE fighters into an area. They require a massive support logistical structure to be local. So moving a few is a big deal. Whereas the Rebellion can engage in smaller hit and fade attacks. It offers them a lot more flexibility which you'd expect with the more expensive chassis. Just a kind of flip from the usual.
the empire has superior pilots, inferior ships.
Mine do too. Ah, the benefits of a shaved head...
I used a towel getting out of the shower, but my hair is still all "drip, drip, drip mother fucker"
Got to know mrs pink-blue-hair-and-unbelievably-hot better. Which was fun.
Another girl started toying with my hair. As you do. It is good hair.
Also, I kinda hate the girl's cousin, since her drunk ass is the reason I'm sleeping at home tonight.
also also, stuff. Fuck it imma sleep.
Superior? I didn't notice. Typically when a rebel died it was because they were a red shirt, not because the Empire had started upping the training budget. Hence the famous trench scene.
But then a lot of things under the hood there were simplified for the narrative, so it was fine regardless.
Clearly I am da bes 8-)
No, she keeps the towel in for a long time, is what I'm saying. Then hair dries the remainder, if there is any.
good night
Not quite. The base TIE was as fast as an X-Wing but significantly more maneuverable. Shielding is nice, keeping your opponent from being able to line up a shot is better. And the TIE/in was faster and even more maneuverable with heavier firepower.
I just said dumb, you were the one who made an attack against my character first. Anyway,
"Sometimes a moment is so important we need to to stop and focus on it: intense fight scenes in which we follow every sword stroke, heated arguments in which the fur really flies or breakneck chases that leave us dizzy and breathless"
"A conflict scene needs active opponents on at least two sides. Each side must want something, they have to have an immediate goal."
"Conflicts are a bit more complicated than testing to overcome obstacles. In a conflict, we make many tests, but how we make them is different. In order to keep the game interesting, each side privately chooses three actions."
(This last part is particularly relevant.)
