In this episode we are joined by the fine fellow of Terminal7, Nels and Jesse. And what fine bed fellow they do make. Together we all journey into the past using only the power of their minds to discuss the bygone era of 2016. Was Lucas’ last cycle Mumbad or Mumgood? Was Damons first cycle Flash-on point or Flash-not quite as on point as we would have liked? Did the MWL do all we had hoped? All this and slightly more!

In this episode we are joined by friend Lane to discuss Martial Law. And Chris didn’t write a proper description on the way home like he normally does on a Monday. He was playing iPhone games instead so this meta narrative will have to do instead. Oh well. Maybe Chris will try harder next time.
In this episode we are joined by friend Lane to talk about the exciting conclusion to the Flashpoint cycle, Quorum. As with all season finales we’re expecting conclusions to story lines such as: Was Omar right all along? Were the rumours true about Jackson Howard? Will Smoke win enough money with vape tricks to save the rec centre? Maybe we should just hope for the cliffhanger to not be too suspenseful.

RE: Encore, you can play Activist Support to give the corp bad publicity then sell it to Aesops’ before it ever gives a chance to give you a tag, but it’s probably not worth it just for that cos you’d still need Hyperdriver / Street Peddler or something to get it into play on your Encore turn so it doesn’t give you a tag
if you’re using some tag avoidance/removal, Encore isn’t necessary anyway

In this episode we are joined by Ben Ni (Worlds number 2) for a cool and sexy look at deck building. All the hithertos and whyfores you could ever need on the subject. Should you spend your influence sensibly? Yes! Can ICE be a good include in a deck? Of course! Can you swap out card sleeves for jam and the cards for bread? Yes but that is just a big sandwich.

In this episode we are joined by former lead designer of Netrunner Damon Stone. We chat about his thoughts on games design, how he approached the Flashpoint cycle, as well as what he thinks makes a well made card. TLDR: We talk about design and that.

Some interesting items from this podcast:
Jessminder was doing very well with Flashpoint playtesters, and that’s specifically why Controlling the Message has its “cannot be avoided” text. I had assumed that text was meant to power up CtM vs. other tag avoiders like New Angeles City Hall and that Jessminder was an unfortunate bystander, but apparently that text was put there with Jess very much in mind.
I am quite curious about this Jessminder deck that was doing so well. Based on this interview, all we know about it is that it had Maya in it (Maya being one of the main reasons to play Jess at all right now).
There was also some discussion about Sifr as a card, how it came to be, and some suggestions about how to play around it (Damon’s a fan of Hunter Seeker as a solution) which I found interesting, but maybe y’all are generally tired of talking about Sifr.
Very fun interview as always, thanks.

In this episode we are joined by friend Lane to discuss the cards and that in Daedalus Complex. And that’s all the description you need or probably require. I don’t know why I think these things need long descriptions. It’s a bit of a waste of everyone’s time really. And time is precious. It will be night soon and you could be out, setting up nets to catch those thieves that stole from the king!
In this episode we are joined by Seamus and Dave “Get in the Bin” Hoyland (@Cerberus) for the follow up to July 2016’s smash hit Episode 61: The State of Weyland and Criminal - Part 1. At the beginning of the Flashpoint Cycle both players wrote down a list of five things they wanted to see for the cycle to improve their respective factions. Now we crack the wax on the sealed envelope and go through those lists.

Is it just me or does he sound barely familiar with the game?
Thanks for asking about The Professor.
(For anyone who hasn’t listened, per Boggs the intention of the MWL list is that The Professor ignores universal influence for the first copy of a program in a deck. It’s been a challenge to figure out how to specifically clarify things so it is clear that Mumba Temple costs influence but The Professor doesn’t have to worry.
It’s somewhere around the 42 minute mark.)

He sounds pretty reasonable to me. Certainly 100 times more knowledgeable about competitive play than Damon.

In this episode we are joined by friend Lane to talk about the Earth’s Scion data pack. Spoilers! There are new Netrunner cards inside. Also London was in the middle of a heat wave during this recording. And we are three warm bodied men in a room with all the doors and windows closed. Prepare for the hottest of takes!
In this episode we are joined by friend Lane to talk about Blood and Water. The first data pack to be name after two liquids. To see if blood really is thicker than water I have adopted Eady and Lane to test how it affects the podcast. Levels of affection; favouritism and nepotism in this episode have been measured and sent to a CERN for analysis.

In this episode we are joined by Catherine and Lane to lament the passing of their favourite cards of the first two cycles. This week we go through the runner cards of the Genesis and Spin cycles and discuss what we will miss most when rotation hits. And we end with an exciting cliff-hanger at the end just like the Game of Thrones.
