Ouch, sorry to hear that ED. I thought that yourbrea from VASSAL might mean a bit more luck the next time you got on. Apparently not lol.



Who knows, maybe you'll pull Boba Fett....(stares innocently at the ceiling)

Sounds fun! Good thing there aren't any generated D20s in that game.

Terrance Withers still hasn't gotten back to me, so can I just skip that game, get a booster and play him later?

I had a couple of ideas for a future mini distribution adding to Creme's system for the old school league.

It would be great if we could trade our minis within the league. We could have a trade thread and make offers to each other for what we have and what we are looking for. It would help with variety in squad building, that tends to get stale after a while.

It would also be cool if the league admin could maintain a store that we could "sell" our extra minis to and "buy" back at inflated prices. If he wants to open a booster to bolster his stock that would be cool too.

The only solutions I'd see would be to have another person or two help with the administration to keep everything accurate or design from the ground up an actual, working game version of SWM that has integrated league inventories and trading. One's a bit harder than the other though.

@ED: Yea, both of those would work. I like the new program idea, but Im no computer whiz so I dont think that would work for me :P Unless theres someone else whos good at it.


That seems like a much more manageable idea. :) The only thing about making everyone's collection public is that some people can check other people's collection; see what that person needs, and then charge outrageous deals knowing that person needs the specific characters. Of course; I just seem paranoid about all these problems so dont take my word for it. :P I might incorporate this idea mid-way into the league; or just wait until another league to start it up.

Isn't that how it works in real life though?

I love this idea. I actually jokingly suggested it to creme in a BM after the booster pulls I got were less than mediocre... Anyway, this would be a cool idea, because it has the potential to make the league more fair; players who get good figures that they can't or don't want to use aren't just stuck with them and can get rid of them for better figures or more filler pieces. Also, players who consistently get crappy pulls can just sell a bunch of the figures they aren't going to use to accumulate points to buy better ones. This would also introduce more pieces into the games throughout the league because a lot of pieces, namely the very rare ones, don't get pulled that often. It would allow players to craft certain strategies/squads based on certain figures, too.

However, I think it would be best to hold off on this idea until a new league starts. Changing the system and the way the league will play partway through could prove to be a little chaotic. Besides, waiting would give us an opportunity to hear more suggestions, test them, and work out the kinks in the system.


This probably is the best idea, especially because the "inventories" can be reset for every new league, avoiding the creation of tens of new BlooMilk accounts that will hardly ever be used (i.e. site "clutter" for shinja to deal with). As far as the "hate squads" go, with a new system that can allow players to pick and choose certain figures for their squad, the randomness and chance aspect of a booster league is rather diminished. This does open the possibility for players to construct squads specifically designed to defeat certain characters, opponents, squad styles, etc. It may be difficult or impractical to do so, but it would still be possible.


That's called free-market economics, my friend. (Ah, I miss my AP Microeconomics class...) By the way, that "e" needs an accent: touché (<== yeah, Macs are cool like that; they can effortlessly make accent marks, whereas Windows makes you push a sequence of keys. )

I'll stop now before my post gets longer or more off topic. Great idea, though, Don!

Is that a 3- or 2-pt win?

Nice to see a positive response.

For example here would be my list of haves to trade or sell to the league store:

CS 40 General Grievous Very Rare 1
RotS 31 General Grievous, Jedi Hunter Very Rare 1
UH 17 Dr. Evazan Very Rare 1
RS 56 Bossk Rare 1
RS 32 Royal Guard Uncommon 1
CS 48 Super Battle Droid Uncommon 1
CS 59 Wookiee Commando Uncommon 1
RotS 60 Royal Guard Uncommon 1
UH 3 Elite Clone Trooper Uncommon 1
UH 11 Super Battle Droid Commander Uncommon 1
UH 27 Reek Uncommon 1
UH 59 Yuuzhan Vong Subaltern Uncommon 1
RS 59 Twi'lek Scoundrel Common 1
RotS 16 Polis Massa Medic Common 1
UH 20 Kaminoan Ascetic Common 1
UH 55 New Republic Trooper Common 1
UH 60 Yuuzhan Vong Warrior Common 1

Nothing too great here that anyone would want to trade for so most likely I would just sell it to the store for probably the equivalent of a new booster or a few decent uncommons or a good rare provided they have it in stock. Maybe I would get a little more considering I have 3 VRs although they do suck.
