Hello!

Now that I have your attention, please let me introduce myself as a fairly recent X-Wing Miniatures convert, FFG forum lurker and slightly less recent Sci Fi gaming blogger...

I just wrote a post about a purely hypothetical (that is made up, unofficial, etc.) Wave 6 expansion pack based on the ships and characters of the X-Wing Alliance computer game and I'd love to have feedback on it...

http://www.trojanpoints.blogspot.be/2014/06/x-wing-miniatures-wave-6-meet-azzammens.html

I hope it's OK to post such a link on here (I do believe it's quite relevant - and it's not commercial - but some forum would consider it spam), if not let me know: I'll remove the post/link and not make the same mistake again.

Enjoy...

I think a number of people may be mildly miffed about the misleading thread title...

That bad?

At least two so far I'm guessing.

Pretty much going to put you on ignore.

Don't care how much work you put into writing any of it, don't use false advertising in a desperate attempt to get people to pay attention to your crappy fanfic.

Mis-leading.

Wow, what a dick move to get blog hits.

That bad!

Sorry for the "desperate dick move", guys. Yes off course the title is misleading: it might get you wasting one click and reading two lines of this topic before figuring out what it's actually about...

First, welcome to Dakka!
Second, we are a pretty awesome, open minded group of people gathered from all over the big blue marble we call Earth.
If you present what you have to offer in a straight forward and open manner, you'll receive a fair review. If you trick people
into doing something, especially using a game the REALLY like, don't be surprised by backlash. And in all seriousness, what you
have received so far isn't nearly as bad as it could have been. One might even say it was a tickle!
Lastly, shake it off, and press on. You'll find lots to like here.

Thanks for the welcome!

I didn't consider the replies so far to be unbearable flak but I updated the topic title for more forward- and openness!
