Hi BlooMilk

I have been looking for an old tread that once was on the WotC forums, but to no avail.

It described the evolution of the competitive meta through the different expansions. I started playing very late, Bounty Hunters, so I dident experience the early stages, though I collected since Rebel Storm.

I would like to experience this though, at some point, so I am looking for a run down of how the meta looked, through the first couple of sets.

For what I remember/gathered:

Rebel storm:

Imperial:

Darth Vader, Sith Lord – 60
Emperor Palpatine – 40

Rebel:

Han Solo – 28
Princess Leia, Senator – 13
R2-D2 – 8
Boba Fett – 50

Clone Strike:

Republic:

Boba Fett – 50
Aurra Sing – 37
R2-D2, Astromech Droid – 9
Gran Raider - 4

Separatists:

Battle Droid Officer – 9
Destroyer Droid – 30
Destroyer Droid – 30
Destroyer Droid – 30


Universe:


Imperial:
Darth Vader, Jedi Hunter - 75
Nightsister Sith Witch - 17
Probe Droid – 8

Rebel:
Han Solo, Rebel Hero - 35
Aurra Sing – 37
Lobot – 27

Yuuzhan Vong:

Nom Anor - 34
Lobot - 27
9 x Gran Raider 4
Lobot reserves:
4 x Gran Raider 4


Champions:

Republic:
Jedi Weapon Master - 26
Jedi Weapon Master - 26
R2-D2, Astromech Droid - 9
Aurra Sing - 37

Sith:

Darth Bane - 82
6 x Ugnaught - 3

Imperial:

Anakin Skywalker, Sith Apprentice - 39
Grand Adrimal Thrawn - 37
Mas Amedda - 8
4 x Gran Raider 4

Greetings |Ska as in the music, n, que as in 'what?"|
If you use Wayback Machine or Majestic Archive,
you can get the full image of the Wizards of the Coast archived forum.

"Please help me fill out the squads that I have missed".
Would you like the full "World International Championships by Year?"
for VASSAL or, for
Tabletop Boardgame Simulator?
and, are you at Boardgame Geek or Electronic Journal of Combinatorics?

I would be happy to provide "Chess Compositions" history of 4.3 gigabyte of all known Regional to International
games I have from 2002 to the present.

I wrote an ASCII visualization based on VASSAL and on Stephen Wolfram's "Blinky Lights" routine for SWMinis,
and, SWMinisPlays web browser,
for use as a play testing tool to cost new pieces,
in conjunction with Surf Rider's Excel Cost Sheets etc.

Finally! I am reunited with the tread, its like getting reacquainted with an old friend :D

Thank you both for your contribution and especially you cassus for finding the actual thread.
I am also surprised that I could recall so many of the builds, but I did spend a lot of time reading on forums back then, I still continue to read and browse forums.

I am not finished with reading the tread yet, I try to savour it.

@ kobayashimaru I have to disappoint you, I am Danish not French, but I have studied French at school (equivalent of high school) same with German. But not at university level, so I am not that proficient with those languages.

The "Ska", part of my name is also less sophisticated than you theorised. Its a perfume that Paris Hilton brands in South Park, quirky I know.


If you guys know other classic threads, please let me know, I am having a blast revisiting the game.

So, my response in this thread is now gone? Not sure how that happened, because I didn't delete it. This is actually very annoying because now I can't find this stupid link. I'm sure it was a wayback machine archive of the WotC forums. I also believe Nickname was the OP.

Edit: Took 30 minutes of scrolling history but I got it... again. Let's not delete my response this time.

Excellent archival work Cassus Fett;
I am also not sure where a few posts go,
Bloomilk can be a little clunky from time to time.

EDIT: Thanks for the link too, that's a great 'blast from the past'.
Did you also find the Electronic Journal of Combinatorics articles,
or better yet, the Tales from the Brink Web-E-Zine etc?



Imagine, briefly,
"Progress Quest" / "Game of Games"
PugnaciousOne of DevArt et al...
Imagine... a "Paper-Generator" like the Stat Card Automator,
from the OEIS etc...

which will make those articles and
adapt them into a Magazine etc...

why... that sounds like Kobayashimaru's Stat Card Maker
or, "Books of the Wasteland" for Fallout 4...
