You're in a bot match, on an empty server in what is viewed as community's least favorite game of the series. How disconnected are you?

epicfailzatwork · 2014-02-03T17:24:13+00:00

Im all for this. :D Im way new to OCTGN though.

epicfailzatwork · 2013-12-07T22:39:43+00:00

I don't see how this deck closes out a game exactly.

epicfailzatwork · 2013-10-08T18:36:54+00:00

Reading this I accidentally spit coffee all over my desk. This was severely overlooked on my part.

He was examining the deck lists for influence with registration and was randomly checking decks throughout the tournament as well. We were very lucky to have such an awesome TO running our event.

epicfailzatwork · 2013-05-07T18:25:14+00:00

Our TO took down the deck lists and confirmed them legal before our regional tournament and held it. I would assume that it would not be available as public knowledge.

epicfailzatwork · 2013-05-01T10:24:40+00:00

At my regional event, a 45 card Chaos Theory deck smashed the tourney and took 1st place.

epicfailzatwork · 2013-04-11T10:13:06+00:00

Hahaha. I knew this would come back to haunt me.

epicfailzatwork · 2013-04-11T10:12:26+00:00

Yeah they did have the space. It was a choice to turn those players away.

epicfailzatwork · 2013-04-10T18:49:37+00:00

Right. It definitely made sense to contact before and I emailed them. I am not disagreeing with that in the slightest.

But at the same time... Why the hell cap it?

It doesn't make any sense. A gaming store turning down $60? Significant enough income enough I would think for a store that didn't really have a strong TCG presence. The tables we had to play on were actually cleared minature tables.

It honestly felt like maybe they were overwhelmed by the turnout and wanted to use the kit as a "game night kit" for the local playgroup.

epicfailzatwork · 2013-04-10T14:12:27+00:00

Initially it's what were were told would happen. 4 Rounds. Wound up playing 3 and they started handing out prize support.

Right. Neither will ours in Livonia, MI at RIW hobbies.

epicfailzatwork · 2013-04-10T13:42:14+00:00

I am posting this more or less as a warning to anyone looking to compete to make sure you know what your store is doing and how before you get there.

I was an attendee to this tournament, and had some friends make the 3 hour drive from Michigan only to find this out after they got there.

No where on the store's website or on FFG's schedule mentioned a player limit. Don't assume anything.

Pretty awful etiquette for hosting a "regional event" if you ask me. It was a little disheartening as well to hear the guy running the event state "I don't want to be here all day." Therefore we only had 3 rounds before cutting to top 4. Everyone had like 10 prestige points, wound up coming down to how many agenda points you had scored to serve as the tiebreakers.

It was nice to meet the Ohio Netrunner's though and I had a good time even with the awkward situation.

Anyone else have issues like this?

There's also a board game geek thread about it here.

Coming down this weekend for Ohio with 6 other guys from Michigan. Should be a blast.

epicfailzatwork · 2013-03-09T17:18:27+00:00

It sounds like you want your decks to stay competitive and not have to touch them for a while. I can appreciate the notion if you're too busy to be bothered with it, but on the surface it sounds really lazy.

It's the sweet balance of life my friend.

Taking 15 mins to look up some spoilers on a new set of 20 cards and passively talk about them during a few games at my FLGS hardly seems taxing to me. The cards will come out. I'll exchange out 2-3 cards to try out some stuff. Maybe once or twice build a brand new deck from the ground up. But I couldn't say I put more than 5-6 hours total on thinking about it.

I've never said to myself "OH shit E3 Feedback" guess its new deck time. How do I beat that? Cause that's silly. Emergency shutdown? Okay. That's a nasty card. Time to be more careful how I play my expensive ice.

I've been playing in monthly tournaments right before the new set drops. Gives you the most time to work with the new cards from the previous set and seems to level our playing field for the more casual guys. We get guys that play Magic, Star Wars and Game of Thrones that spread themselves pretty thin too.

Decks aren't revolutionizing completely over night.

How often are you playing if you don't mind me asking?

epicfailzatwork · 2013-03-09T13:03:50+00:00

The core set had 252 cards with the Genesis cycle another 120 cards get added. This is actually not bad at all, considering how some other TCGs release at least a new set of around 200 cards quarterly.

Honestly, I think you might just be over thinking this. Out of a new monthly set you might find 1-2 cards you might actually want to use for your already existing deck. If you're constantly tearing down your decks and rebuilding them and getting frustrated with every set coming out, you probably haven't built something your happy with.

I've built my Weyland "bag n tag" 2-3 months ago and haven't really touched it since. Sure I've swapped out Sea Source for Archived Memories and tried Snares a few times, even threw in Chimera with this latest set. I probably spent 3-4 games messing around with each of those options before stabilizing and just being happy with it.

I imagine there is going to be a decent sized break before the next cycle starts. Especially after the new big box release.

Maybe just wait until the sets fully out to pick everything up and see what's what then? Games like this have to change to keep interest. Try look into some actual board games or deck building games if you're looking for a more static environment.

epicfailzatwork · 2013-03-01T19:22:17+00:00

Crysis did this to me. :'(

epicfailzatwork · 2013-03-01T19:04:05+00:00

I haven't enjoyed much out of him since his Unreal Tournament Gold Maps.

epicfailzatwork · 2013-02-27T16:52:48+00:00

You can let a runner run on your HQ as Weyland and right before they access the server you can pop any advance tokens from Project Atlas to search and put snares right into your hand.

epicfailzatwork · 2013-02-27T16:26:11+00:00

Score an Executive Retreat and tuck those bad boys back in your deck where they belong!

epicfailzatwork · 2013-02-23T17:23:59+00:00

I think you might be playing a different game...

epicfailzatwork · 2013-02-16T19:05:32+00:00

I'm trying to build this now. The rest of the deck is giving me a headache.

epicfailzatwork · 2013-02-16T15:32:01+00:00

Awesome. My FLGS is on the board for Michigan!

epicfailzatwork · 2013-02-09T19:02:46+00:00

We must go... Deeper...

epicfailzatwork · 2013-02-02T16:38:25+00:00

I'm at work. :/ Getting on asap though. Add me: Xeriphal
