Able to use Voice Chat?: Yes - Skype, Hangouts, etc.
Area where you think you need to improve: Noah’s article really spoke to some of the gaps for me as well. I understand the guts of the game and I love it, but I’m not yet skilled at seeing the game the way that he describes it even early on in his journey - identification of those key mistakes and plays. I’d play pretty much any identity, I think I like flexibility in my play (something I like about LCGs is the ability to easily shift if you want to try something else).
I think that what I really need to do is up my level of technical play. That’s something that I don’t see discussed with ANR as much as it is for games like MTG (so ideas for resources there would be great too).

So I started a year ago or so. I’d say I am an intermediate player, I won a store champs, a regional, and came second at Australia nationals (1st seed after day 1). So I don’t think I am bad, but if I could get coaching from like, someone really really dece, just a new perspective, turn by turn, that would be amazing.
In terms of IDs, I mainly play PPVP Kate (with pro co), Stealth Andy, know how to play Stealth Hayley and regular Andy as well. I mainly play NEH, both kill and Fastro, also nearpad, haarp kill, and know how to play PE quite well. I would like to learn how to play AGAINST and WITH HB ETF better, and the same for Blue Sun, I guess. I would just generally look to improve, make better choices from one turn to the next, especially on the corp side, but obviously both. There are vids of me playing online somewhere, from Aus nats, so a pretty easy starting point for seeing where I might need to improve. I am happy to play jinteki or octgn.

Area where you think you need to improve or area where you think you have some particular expertise: I’ve only been playing Netrunner for a few months so i’m still new but have tried most tournament archetypes such as Prepaid Kat and Astrobiotics. I’d be down for any kind of mentoring but would love to work on lesser seen decks/combos.

Role: Mentee
Time zone: EST
Able to voice chat: Yes
Area where you think you need to improve or area where you think you have some particular expertise: Overall - I have been playing for about a year now and just haven’t been able to take my play to the next level. Usually finish somewhere in the middle during organized play events. Would love to win my first tournament, ideally with a deck I built. I can’t wrap my head around deck building, always have performed best with lists I find then tweak to my playstyle.
Platform: Jinteki.net
Role: Mentee?
Time zone: CST - United States
Able to use Voice Chat?: Yes
Area where you think you need to improve or area where you think you have some particular expertise: Just want to generally get better at the game, especially as Corp against savvy Runners. Deckbuilding/using proven decks is also a plus. I’m a few months into the game, I’d just generally like to feel more comfortable piloting my decks!
Role: Student Time zone: CST (GMT -6) Able to use Voice Chat?: Yes Area where you think you need to improve:
Need the most help with runner. I cannot decide on a runner ID that I want to focus on, but primarily interested in Iain, Fisk, or Nasir. It feels like every click I do is at the wrong time.
I fell more solid on corp, using NBN Spark Agency or Jinteki kill/shell game, but still could use pointers.
Role: Mentee Time zone: GMT+1 (but mostly plays around midnight) Able to use Voice Chat?: Yes Area where you think you need to improve or area where you think you have some particular expertise: novice player, so I’m open to any kind of mentoring Platform:jinteki.net
Role: both mentor / mentee Time zone: CET (GMT +1) - I work from 9:30 to 18:00 on weekdays, I usually can play games during that time, but I can game + voice chat in the evening. Able to use Voice Chat?: Yup, any kind. Platform: I prefer Jinteki.net, but I can also do OCTGN (I run it on an Amazom server, so it’s a tad bit slower.) Area where you think you need to improve: I played a lot of NEH FA and Noise in the tournament season this year and placed quite well, but in the SHL I get beaten quite often so I’d like to somehow reach that level (not speficially with those decks, but I like sticking with NBN/Anarch). I probably make a lot of mistakes that I don’t even recognize. (Plus I’m interested in how to Kate.) or area where you think you have some particular expertise: I guess I have the basics/intermediate ideas to new players. I have most of my experience with NBN (mostly NEH FA and Flash Wears Yellow, less NEH Butchershop, Haarp kill) and Anarchs (mostly Noise and DLR Val, less with different flavors of Eater/Keyhole, RegAss Whizz/Val).
Role: Mentee please
Time Zone: GMT
Voice Chat: Yes
Areas in need of help:
Runner- I need to learn to be patient, and to judge when to focus on setting up my rig over running like a lunatic. Have recently switched from MaxX to Sunny and so am trying to adjust to the change in pace!
Corp- I really need to learn how not to freak out when I have agendas in my hand, and how to play against super aggresive decks without losing my cool, if possible! I’m currently failing at a Spark deck, but keen to try New Angeles Sol
Role: Student Time zone: GMT+1. Available from 20h on weekdays. Weekends, no issue. Able to use Voice Chat?: Skype or Google Hangout. Platform: Jinteki.net and OCTGN. Area where you think you need to improve: General advice on competitive gameplay. I find myself making wrong calls concerning the meta on a regular basis. This mostly results in homebrewing (jank) way more then I should.
Proof: Last tournament I played a Silhouette DLR Connection Deck because I expected a lot of HB Glacier and an Argus Supermodernism variant, called “Brutalism”, that I tinkered to counter PPvP Kate. Then I played Neh and Noise all day. xD
Role: Both Time Zone: GMT Voice Chat: Yes Platform: I usually play on Jinteki, but have OCTGN set up too Area where you need to improve: I’m pretty good, but would like to be able to be more accurately determine when to be aggressive with scoring windows, and when that would leave me too vulnerable to counterplay. With runners I need to learn when to take the foot of the gas and play a longer game. The runner games I lose, I often lose because my deck burns out. Area where you have some expertise: Decks I’ve had some good experience and moderate tournament success with: Geist, Desperado Anarch, Blue Sun Glacier, Weyland in general, HBFA. Aggressive mostly early game runners; taxing corps.
Role: Mentor Time zone: GMT Able to use Voice Chat?: Yes Area where you think you have some particular expertise: Deck-wise, A+ with Kate, glacier, convenience shop and NEHFA. Enjoy playing Leela, Noise and Maxx. Weaknesses: I prefer to talk about how to play existing decks with small tweaks. I’m not really into deckbuilding at the fringes.
Platforms wise, I’ll use jinteki but if I’m observing, you can share screen however you like.
Role: Mentee Time zone: mainly GMT. but can be variable when I’m on the road Able to use voice chat: yes Area where you think you need to improve or area where you think you have some particular expertise: I’ve been playing for six months, competent with game mechanics, I’m primarily looking to understand more advanced strategy, and especially, reading the game state. I’m playing Whizzard and RP at the moment.
