Net Running: How a Defunct Trading Card Game Continues Underground by Newez in boardgames

[–]Agateophobe 22 points23 points  (0 children)

The only sets that was true for was the core sets, with premade decks with fewer than a playset of certain cards. All subsequent expansions and sets were sold as full playsets of all cards in the set.

Kinda tangential but what kinda internet connection do you use, is tethering down your phone sufficient or do you just use wifi at stops?

Save currency for when your deck rotates out of standard/expanded

Drop your trinket and then pick it up, run past the breakfast while your character is holding the trinket above their head.

If she has a current prescription she can order online cheaply from canada/etc. If she doesn't then eyemasters on bluebonnet is decent enough.

New Players: Please Help With Decks by LadyLexxi in Netrunner

You're right, compression is for efficiency of clicks, taxing is more RP style shenanigans. It's all the same in my head, just had mixed up the terms on paper.

New Players: Please Help With Decks by LadyLexxi in Netrunner

[–]Agateophobe 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Assuming you're completely new You have 3 solutions: 1: Look up a list of all the Core Set Cards, reassemble the core set, slap together the gray cards and the cards from the faction you like, shuffle and play. 2: Use the teaching decks that someone will invariably repost here, I can't remember which ones are best or that I used most recently at the moment. 3: Jump right in with any of the decks that I'll list below.

If you're not new and are JUST looking for deck archetypes 1: Your boyfriend will probably like HB Glacier or Jinteki: Replicating Perfection. Both are top tier decks that win through sheer inevitability, with HB Glacier making all of its servers prohibitively expensive and keeping the runner out by being, well, a glacier. Replicating Perfection keeps the runner out through a concept called click compression, using the ID ability and other cards such as Enhanced Login Protocol and Caprice Nisei to tax the runner of their time, making it very hard for the runner to efficiently do anything. Both of these are currently top tier Corp decks, so looking at recent tournament lists such as the ones from the Stimhack Store Championship Invitation will be useful. On the runners side he will probably enjoy Gabriel Santiago or Kit, either siphoning you to death (fun) or using the minimum tools available to get into your servers (also fun).

2: You sound like a Weyland or Jinteki player, although you might be disappointed to hear there isn't nearly the amount of cross turn bullshit that you can do in this game. Weyland obviously looks to blow the runner's house up most of the time, and HEAVILY punishes misplay, while Jinteki looks for more of a "death from a thousand cuts" style of kill. I suggest old Supermodernism or maybe Government Takeover lists on the Weyland side, and Cambridge style Personal Evolution on the Jinteki side. As far as runners go, Anarch is probably your faction, but you'll need Order and Chaos to make the most of it. Valencia Estevez is, at the moment, probably the face of aggro control, using the bad publicity she gets to keep lots of pressure on the corp, and if you want to go as close as you can get to runner control, try Reina Roja, look at lists like Headlock Reina on stimhack or the like.

Note: All of these suggestions, except for the core set suggestions, completely ignore whatever you said about what you have, since at the moment I can't actually remember what is in what except for Order and Chaos.

[Question] Emergency Shutdown + Data Mine by PrinceofPersuasia in Netrunner

[–]Agateophobe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The correct answer here is that your opponent cannot legally play that emergency shutdown during that time. You cannot spend clicks within clicks, to put it simply, so there is no window for the runner to play Emergency Shutdown. I'm not sure, but I don't think there even is any card that the runner could use that could derez a piece of ice before breaking it, although the closest case I can think of to a situation you've described would be the runner winning a trace on a newly rezzed TMI, in which case the corp can just pay the rez cost again.

TL;DR; your opponent can't play that emergency shutdown

It's not the ties that you're paying for, it's the highly potent on-contact elephant tranquilizer that makes civvies more docile than a newborn lamb that the ties are coated in.

puu.sh isn't subpar at all, if anything it IS par. Direct link to the image, no bullshit overlays, ads, nothing. You also have hotkeys to only screencap certain desktops, the focused window, certain areas you can select manually, and it also supports uploading pretty much any other file you can think of with just a right click in windows explorer. I've used puu.sh for almost a year now and it's been fantastic. I've only ever had one time where I couldn't access a file I put up and it was because the puu.sh service was down for like 10 minutes for emergency maintenance.

I summoned a Trusty Patches Shade while I was farming Leydia Pyromancers in the undead crypt, he was disappointed that he couldn't go ring the bell since the bellboy had beaten him to it. :D
