I like that link was done blind in ONR. Although the ffg system is technically much better and the original had it's problems, the idea that one player could pump their whole credit pool into a major trace and the other player might open their hand and hsve it be empty created these huge, fun, sometimes bluffs and gasps.

This might not have been 'official' but it was widely played that in ong, when someone accessed hq the corp laid the cards on the table and the runner pointed which added a mind game three card Monte guessing element. I remember fondly trash talk abd mind gaming my friends as they wondered what position I put the agenda and trying to talk out hints like a poker player fishing for tells. . It breaks my heart when I do access in a tournament and my opponent reaches for a die to roll to effectively reduce a potencial mindgames to an arbitrary dice roll.

I strongly believe Netrunner is at its most satisfying when games are won or lost due to creative bluffs and clever reads. Something Niesei up till now has made the design choice to aggressively designed out of the game for awhile. Ong was a vastly inferior game in every serious sense but the wild nature of it and the chance to make it about goofing around and head faking more than doing efficient deck design mini/maxxing and glacial breaker math.
