Netrunner Introduction Tournament

[Zorblag]

Troll has interest in Netrunner and has played a total of one game, so Troll will give this a go.

What did you have in mind for a format?

*nods* So for now, in Troll's "spare time" *chuckles* Troll should start putting together both a corp deck and a runner deck?

Troll just no be sure what matches look like in a tournament like this. Best of three with each pairing for both sides, playing for best overall corp and runner records separately, or what? There probably be more elegant ways to go about it but Troll has thought about it before now from a tournament perspective.

Troll be glad to see that others be in.

Troll will plan on sticking with the decks Troll throws together initially, but Troll has no problem if others want to change between matches. Troll wants to give whatever decks Troll comes up with a couple tries to see how them go and 3 matches seems like a good test run.

OK, tried a corp deck in the browser and both learned how it works (more or less, some parts are still confusing,) and got destroyed because somehow not all the players be just using cards up through the Genesis cycle.

Will we have moderators for the matches? That seems like a good idea to Troll given that first game.

Gratz to Luna Fox! The first game felt like Troll was in it. The second, not so much, but next time will be Troll's second ever game as a runner, so perhaps that will feel better!

Troll thanks Leonshade much for the games! Them were both good fun! Troll's win was a very close one, but Leonshade destroyed Troll's runner easily. It be a pattern Troll thinks. An unfortunate pattern.

So Troll be hoping that CareyHammer will be able to play Troll tonight, but this be probably the last chance it has to happen before deadline. Tuesday night didn't work for CareyHammer and Wednesday no worked for Troll. Troll mostly just checking in to let all know that we do be trying to get our games in.

And at this point, the past two nights Troll has been about but we haven't managed the game. We be well past the deadline here so Troll be willing to say that it simply no will happen. Happily in no has any effect on the tournament winner, but Troll be sorry that we couldn't get the games in.

It no matters for the winner of the tournament, but Troll and Killthestory have played our games. Killthestory won both. Troll thanks much for the games! Them were most fun!

Well, Troll was learning it as we went. This last game Troll finally got to do some things with it that were fun! Troll actually managed to get 5 agenda points that time through.

Troll agrees! It was fun to dip a toe in. Troll thinks that this one be the sort of game that Troll should probably play in person with someone else learning it to get ramped up rather than online, but seeing what the decks were like and the flow of play was good fun. There was frustration in either not getting economy cards or icebreakers as the runner (it seemed like each game Troll got one or the other, so Troll clearly needs to get some more ways to search R&D in Troll's deck or something,) but Troll suspects that just comes with the territory of this sort of game.

Big thanks to Mykonian!
