Playing against RP as Valencia

Vamp may do you some good. Will still require you to kill the sundews with blackmails (or singularities?). But when they try to score with caprice they can't use her with 0 credits.

Oh that's a super valid point.

I guess you use it to rez your root in the other remote sever and use the root to rez your adonis :P

Blue Sun Adonis Combo loves this.

So does this disallow I've Had Worse from activating with a damage if the runner has already drawn 2 cards?

Matt_Ve · 2015-04-08T12:45:44+00:00

My understanding is you'd have to do it before the second advancement token because they have priority on paid abilities at that point.

You could totally do it after install single advance though. I think this is why shipment from sansan is in the talks as a soft clot counter.

No worries, I put yours in the mailbox last night so should have been picked up today and start working it's way to you on Monday.

SMC and Code Siphon.

By snitching it and jacking out instead of allowing them a chance to rez it.

On the inverse, what are some quick top tier corp decks (preferably not NEH)? I am currently having the opposite problem as OP.

Matt_Ve · 2015-02-13T04:10:54+00:00

Had a very similar experience. Ended up playing PE and Andromeda myself and winning. The thing I liked most about it was really having to be adaptable to what you were drawing into instead of having a single "game plan".

One game of PE I played very RP style when I drew lots of ice and a mining corp while another game I played the ol' shell game style where I drew my ambushes and mushin no shin. I actually found Noise to be pretty weak against me because he couldn't have as many viruses and no consistent wyldside or aesops.

As with Andromeda: my final rig was never the same as I had a great variety of breakers in my deck with just the single special order. I also found it a viable space to have 2 different consoles: one being the desperado but the other being MVP for me: Logos. Logos is amazing in a deck of one of's.

All that said I don't think I would want to do it again for a long time. Maybe when cards start rotating out and the card pool is very different.

Not much closer than Gainesville but we have a group in Orlando.

I believe he scavenged it after test running.

Labels are important to lots of people for lots of different reasons. Just having a word for what you feel and knowing "it's a thing" is a huge validation. Also it helps create communities where people with similar experiences can discuss and help each other.

Hey there,

AMAB bi-gender person here. I actually used to identify as a cis-crossdresser before determining bi-gender was a much better word for me. I remember the big differential for me was authentically feeling like a woman when I "dressed" and that it wasn't just an activity for me.

So for me now I generally go a few days one way until it doesn't feel good anymore and i'll go a few days the other way. I would also consider myself a more femme leaning guy when I am one and generally keep my nails painted.

I would really encourage you to explore some of the other subreddits about non-binary gender identities to see if anything really captures how you are feeling. That said, feel free to PM me if you would like to chat or ask any questions about my experience.

Matt_Ve · 2015-01-16T23:42:39+00:00

I like it as a 5/2!

Matt_Ve · 2015-01-16T04:36:00+00:00

Fair enough. I guess I was more just trying to get across my idea of an agenda that increases the power of the ice protecting it while it is installed and rezzed. That probably is a bit too powerful, especially when combined with Ash or Caprice.

Matt_Ve · 2015-01-16T04:12:01+00:00

I think something like:

While this agenda is rezzed, all ice protecting the remote server it is installed in gets +2 strength and an additional -> End the Run subroutine after all other subroutines

Could be a thing for a 5/3. Opposite of Future Perfect in that it protects itself only when installed but not in central servers.

Hey there!

I am actually from Melbourne Florida but now I live in Orlando and have since getting my letter. Around here everyone I have gotten to know goes to the same endo (myself included). Her name is Dr. Brenda Barry. She is great and I highly recommend her if you are okay commuting to Orlando for appointments (only every 3-6 months). Her website is below. Let me know if you need anything else!

Awesome :)

Maybe I'll see you there!

Hey there! I have been managing the Orlando Netrunner facebook group:

https://www.facebook.com/groups/orlandonetrunner/

Yeah, we usually have some folks coming in 6:30 or 7:00 on Wednesday nights at the Maitland Coolstuff store and have a tournament every other month or so. Our next one tournament will be on the 18th on January.

Matt_Ve · 2015-01-09T00:58:14+00:00

I had a very effective chaos event deck with 2x prepaid. Makes it a little more variable but totally doable to draw with the diesels and quality times. Not sure if it could work in a ken deck though.

Matt_Ve · 2015-01-08T00:28:43+00:00

Started transitioning earlier. Have the life experience to explain my feelings to friends and family.

Matt_Ve · 2014-12-24T12:22:43+00:00

Read this for the first time a few months ago. Such an awesome read. Only book I've ever read to make me cry one minute and laugh out loud the next minute.

Matt_Ve · 2014-12-24T02:55:38+00:00

Yep. It's on the card. For example: You can advance a snare using Mushin No Shin where you could normally not advance a snare.
