Neither you nor Alex apparently bothered to actually read what I said when you came in here to poop all over it. Alex stated in reply to my comments that the deck needed SanSan because it had 9 3/2 agendas in it, even though I said several times my feedback was predicated on making a few changes which included taking out 4 of the 3/2 agendas. Nevermind that I explained afterwards in direct response to Acidburn’s question about SanSan as to why the deck shouldn’t use it with my proposed changes.
You’ve made two posts now misquoting percentages - the deck isn’t 40% ICE after my proposed changes, it’s 50% ICE, and there’s no longer a 30% chance of drawing an agenda on a random access, there is a 22.5% chance. Your comment on 6 of the ICE being too cheap to break is invalidated by the changes having added 5 more ICE to the original list.
Never Advance has nothing to do with this deck other than I brought it up to say that while Pop-ups are pretty crappy for me nowadays, they’re still pretty good for this deck since it’s desperate for money and because the deck puts a big sign on R&D that says “Kick my ass here!” The difference is if you give this one 2-3 credits a turn on R&D runs it can pretty easily get a Flare/Tollbooth on it.
Again though, like I’ve said 3-4 times in here already, a lot of this is pretty irrelevant because my intent on commenting on the deck was never to build the perfect NBN deck, or even to build the perfect TWIY deck, or even to build the perfect NBN rush deck. My intent was only to offer suggestions to improve upon the deck while leaving it in a state where it still felt like the same deck that it was in it’s original state. I think I did a pretty good job of that, and I’m not sure how those comments deserved such a critical tone when the rest of us already had a good time watching the stream w/ the deck both before and after and it was unanimously decided that the changes were improvements as shown by testing.
I’d enjoyed this thread a lot up to this point, and I’d had some hopes maybe the Stimhack forums would be a cooler place to hang out than BGG because of it, but really this is just the same bullshit that I’ve seen everywhere else. Don’t bother to actually read the posts, immediately adopt a critical tone, punish the deck idea for not being in the top 5 tournament archetypes, and irritate the hell out of everyone. Good show!
