Jedi JS is missing in action :flushed:
The Dark Force keeps growing in me!
call me Evil Jemperor now :japanese_ogre:

IMG_8630.jpg1000Ɨ1400 205 KB

citizens of Alderaan! better start thinking about long holiday trips to one of your moons!

or might Yodā€™ardco be the Jedi to save the galaxy?
and what about Jedi Dukenobi? a finalist from a great foreign Jedi tourney!
may the Force be with all you brave challengers!

Thanks for adding me to the list againā€¦ no idea what happened in that game; suddenly I realized I was down twenty points and without a single useful card! It didnā€™t help that we split every goal lol!

#71

when a game has ended you can check the board, zoom in on all cards and scroll through the log. just donā€™t tap on DONE, but close the score window by tapping X.
itā€™s a great feature for aftershow analysis.

i catched the Alien goal in my last turn, so we ended with 3:1 goals for me, no splits.
and the Imperium Lordsā€™ score value kept growing by playing out those last military worlds.
breaking point were the plays of Rebel Stronghold and Homeworld.

#72

Hardco, i wonder what you wanted to say?
i guess blaming the Evil in me :japanese_ogre: muaharrharrā€¦

#73

Didnā€™t realize you could see the game state afterwards! That clears things up - knew you had a big rebel world, but didnā€™t realize you had two!

i felt a great disturbance in the Forceā€¦
look at me :hushed: ā€¦my dental brace must have loosened and fell off.

oh, and property prices on Alderaan moons areā€¦ uhmā€¦ exploding.
Jedi Master Yodā€™ardco has failed his mission :worried:
and was sentenced to a cruel deā€¦ no, wait, to going back to the line.

many Jedi had failed but strong rebel forces under command of General Jason have enforced the retreat and escape of evil Jamidious to the Outer Rim.
murmuring threats like ā€œi will return and take my revenge!ā€ he boarded his personal yacht ā€œEmbarrassmentā€.

republican order on Coruscant was restored and citizens are awaiting the arrival of victorious rebel forces :tada:

btw The Force is strong in this thread :boom: :dizzy: :sparkles:
strong enough for giving birth to a RftG league?

#78

Iā€™d be all for playing in an RftG league ā€¦

ā€¦ as long as the games were 1v1 only. Iā€™ve found 3 or 4 player games to be toughā€“Iā€™d say roughly a third of my 3/4 player games ended with one player timing out.

Yes, I am the Dice emoji, thanks JammaTal. It was a good game and I got all the rebel worlds.

#80

a valiant rebel commander you were :smirk:
and 48-41 are nice scores for both of us.
congrats on a well played win!

#81

agreed on the multiplayer. iā€™m totally missing the ā€œ2-moves in one turnā€ feature (2P experienced mode) in those games.
MP can be a nice diversion every now and then, but 2P is the true nature of the game.
think i will create a league thread soon.

Is anyone else unable to get online right now? My online is greyed out and says ā€œServer Unavailableā€ but I donā€™t know if it is a universal thing or an issue with my device.
