Stimhack League - Jinteki 4

Happy June everyone! With the lull in lots of people’s competitive seasons I thought it would be a good time to start it up again.

To take part, please create or have a Stimhack account (which you don’t need to use, but it gives me a point of contact in case of dispute).

I’ll give an introduction for anyone who isn’t aware of what it is (veterans can skip ahead to section labeled skip to here). You play other people in the league and record your results on challenge boards. You find games by either joining the Stimhack slack, or just creating a game and saying Stimhack League or SHL in the title. Then confirm your opponent is in the league (there has been a problem with non-leaguers joining, please be polite). After playing your game, you record your results on the challenge boards. At the end of the league, the top 4 players will have a 4 person playoff that will likely be streamed, with the winner being crowned champion.

Newer players are welcome, just be aware that this is a competitive league with people who will be netdecking. If that appeals to you, we’d love to have you even if you don’t feel you’re a great player. Anyone who wants to improve as a competitive player is welcome.

You don’t have to play both sides, but it is encouraged and you record BOTH SIDES SEPARATELY.

If either side disconnects, the game is considered to not count. If you feel you were in a clearly winning, feel free to discuss it with your opponent or PM me if they don’t agree. Warning, no one yet has managed to convince me they were in a 100% win situation.

After a couple of complaints in the last Stimhack League about online behavior, I’m announcing that we’re going to follow roughly the ANRPC Code of Conduct. Please be respectful online.
http://anrprocircuit.com/code-of-conduct

Packs will go legal as they become Tournament Legal on Jinteki. There will be some amount of lag time from release, but I trust the Jinteki crew to keep things updated quickly.

Here is the challenge boards link (if you’re new, you’ll need to make an account, please make it the same name as Jinteki and stimhack):

The password is “ilovefetalai” (minus the quotes “”).

The league starts Wednesday 6/22 and ends Wednesday 8/3.

Good luck and have fun everyone! And remember to contact me here if you have any issues. Additonally, I’ll be gone between July 1st - 10th so if you have any disputes during this time period please contact @miek.

Any chance you can ban Museum or something

FYI your code of conduct link 404’s. There’s an extra 55 at the end of that URL.

Stimhack League, Hot Tub Edition

Please, I would so welcome the GLC ruleset :smiley:

I think stimhack league should stay tournament legal.

But if you guys want to startup another league with a different ruleset and name, I would welcome it.

So does this begin at midnight or has no one played yet?

Challengeboards accepted the game I just played, so I guess we are go.

Sadly this means that I will not be returning to SHL, and probably will quit netrunner again.

I’m going to spam hot tubs until kenny reverses his decision

I’ll ban MoH about the same time I ban Astroscript.

You can appeal to the capricious Jinteki gods who outlawed CI shutdown for several seasons and recently killed Salem’s, but they are a fickle beast.

Just keep a known_museum_players.txt and switch to your Valencia-rebirth Whizzard-3xScrubber-Desperado-Feedback Filter-Archives Interface deck when you see one :stuck_out_tongue:

AI is really nice for these matchups. Just whacking 1x Heritage Committee makes it worth the deck slot against Hot Tubs, and then neutering shock against IG.

Or just keep track of who plays IG/Tubs decks and don’t play them :wink:
