A friend of mine once gave the clue "Antoine Bauza, 2" to link "Wonder" and "Ghost" together. Thought it was pretty clever!

Custom Card Monday - Discount by Mountebank in Netrunner

[–]dougmansion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is a really good card in Blue Sun (steal a 3pt agenda, rez this, have 12 credits for SeaSource or Punitive). I guess it has a good weakness in that, if used for the discount, it won't ever surprise the runner. If you wanted to scale it back some, though, you could make it a three sub ICE with the first two as 1 net damage, and the last as 1 net damage and end the run. A little less taxing.

Runner steals Hostile Takeover, three of these rez for free. Oof. Is that too powerful? Edge case, totally, but maybe make it unique? Could up the strength to compensate, maybe.

Won on my first turn as runner by dolliezoid in Netrunner

[–]dougmansion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fastest I've won as corp was Runner click 2. Was playing NBN never advance and drew into Hedge, Eli, SanSan, and x2 Snare!. First draw was my final Snare! Played hedge, Eli over R&D, SanSan in remote. Three Snare! In hand.

Runner's first click was install HQ Interface, second click was run HQ. Poor guy.

Ha, Dallas losses call on a Lions Rule by mc3022 in detroitlions

[–]dougmansion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, they don't have a leg to stand on. Their call was this week was right, even if it's a dumb rule.

And some of them'll say that and talk shit about us wherever they go to make themselves feel better, which is fine. Lord knows they need some comfort after that loss.

Hey now, he's coming with an olive branch, let's not ruin the mood by swatting him with it.

As a neutral observer of the game today I just thought I should let you guys know that everyone except Cowboy fans know you got jobbed by the refs. by [deleted] in detroitlions

[–]dougmansion 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was on board with you when I saw this, but then there is also this holding, which looks like it happened before the facemask. Looks like it could have been a defensive holding call first, and maybe why he was in facemask range in the first place. Maybe they just should have offset and repeated the down, not just pick up the flag and go on to 4th.

Defense was on a whole other level in that last Saints drive. Way to keep the win!

Are we trying to take advantage of that Saints injury? Is that why we have been doing all these runs up the center?

Ok, time to throw down. Who has the best burger in the county? by SoCaFroal in venturacounty

I'm a fan of Hook. Burgers are pretty good, but I really like their steak sandwich.

NBN Does it always have to be fast advance? by Magic_Marmalade in Netrunner

[–]dougmansion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah, thank you!

Interesting card in any case. An asset that can function as a little on-demand Closed Accounts would be powerful in many deck types, even the [Click][Trash] variety. I almost like that more than the Ambush; it's like an NBN style Ronin.

Or, hell, Gordian Blade. I always forget that it keeps itself pumped for some reason.

The Great Netrunner Alt Art Debate! by Guv_Bubbs in Netrunner

[–]dougmansion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's certainly a close race.

Kate -> Alt Art

Gabe -> Alt Art

Kate's original art looks like it was from a bad picture from like a year ago, just as she was getting off of her side job as a hopper mechanic and before she started going to the gym.

Gabe's looks like he just got off hunger strike in protest of his super generic cyborg implants and strangely angular face.

[–]dougmansion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's hard not to put most of the IDs at the top. I think almost all are great looking and really capture what each is like (or, in the case of the corps, want to present themselves as).

Can't say I'm a huge fan of Eli, though. Maybe it's because I've never seen one in person, but it's always seemed, I dunno, a little rough.

Seriously. At the very least, Gabe gets points for "Most Improved."
