My choice is not connected with mplain by any means. Dunno why he is thinking so.
There are several reasons why I have played with this decks:
I’m tired of my previous anarch/jinteky decks.
I think that criminals are overpowered from the core and hence not very intresting to play.
I have never played with criminals in tournaments - So I didn’t wanna miss core expirience.
One dude asked me how much packs should he buy to be competitive. I’ m trying anwer this. Did not have much time - so corp deck is not very budget. May be next time I will try to build corp around core+1-2 packs or deluxe.
I still do not have second delux and cannot try new cards.
But the main reason is here:
I always play for fun only.
I thought that it would be fun to play in current meta with all its tricks like komainu, NAPD, Astrotracks e.t.c. with core deck. I was lucky this day and took first place. Don’t see anything improper here.
It’s incomplete information, and it very well might have been carried by the other half. Last weekend, I missed the cut to top 4 elim because my corp deck went 4-1 instead of 5-0 (a very real possibility), which would have carried the mediocre 2-3 runner list into a chance to win.
Well, this argument is similar to “I was lucky that day” or “my opponent in the finals didn’t sleep well the night before”. Variance is all over Netrunner. We just collect winning decklists here, right? I feel like that Noise list is still worth posting, even though it’s missing its counterpart. A lot of decklist pairs posted here provide incomplete information in some other form.
Possibly. I don’t like that it throws off the symmetry of having an equal number of Corp and Runner lists. It makes it harder to determine how many lists we actually have.
I have actually been thinking about having an actual player number requirement for non-invitational tournaments. Something like only recording tournaments with at least 10 or 16 players. Thoughts?
I think 10 is reasonable. Don’t set it too high. Especially here in Europe/Holland our meta is very small. The players are dediced, so those 10 players do know their game. I’d hate it if we’d had to cut them off…
Yes, I am asking if I should increase the size requirement. An 8 player tournament is really just 3 matches. So far it seems like people would rather I did not.
Whenever I get 9 people for a tournament, we do 5 rounds of swiss - otherwise, the results tend to be less-than-indicative because of byes (and I’m not in the habit of determining who gets a cool prize and who doesn’t based on secondary tie-breakers, shaky as they are in Netrunner).
If you want to gate it that way, base it on the number of rounds, rather than the number of attendees.
