I picked up the Lumix S5ii, alongside the kit 20-60mm lens. Funny enough, the table mounting system is the HELGEÖ "decorating rod for table" from Ikea, which is definitely not a professional mounting system. So far, it has been working pretty well, and is pretty affordable. I picked up a couple of articulating clamp arms with threads to mount the camera and lights to the bar.

@MetropoleGrid thank you so much for answering!

Greasing the Palm can work pretty well in MirrorMorph combos, but you just about always need to use the Greasing alongside a non-agenda combo piece, like Bass or The Holo Man. For example, Greasing a Bass, installing an agenda, and then firing Bass, gives you the free MirrorMorph advancement, which allows you to fast advance a 3/2 agenda. It's not perfect, and there's a big chance Restore is more flexible in the Greasing slot.

Absolutely effortless :p

Yup! This is all played on the community run platform jinteki.net. I think jinteki.net is pretty intuitive, but if you're ever having issues figuring it out, don't hesitate to hit up someone on the Green Level Clearance Discord channel and ask for a quick walkthrough.

The zero cost ice is broken for zero bits. Very fitting, Duelist Magazine.

That's a very kind offer! Here's the list of cards that I'm currently missing: - Corporation Cards - - Encoder, inc. - LDL Traffic Analyzers - Lesley Major - Laser Wire - Toughonium Wall - Mobile Barricade - Networked Center - Obfuscated Fortress - Please Don't Choke Anyone - Fetal AI - Runner Cards - - Airport Locker - Armageddon - Back Door to Netwatch - Lucidrine Drip Feed - Pirate Broadcast - Simulacarum - Time to Collect - Viral Pipeline

@MetropoleGrid I know I def have some of these. I'll check for the rest when I get home!

I've heard many stories of Loan from Chiba being an incredibly powerful economic tool in constructed ONR, of which its downsides were counteracted by simply taking out more Loans from Chiba. It tracks.

That's a great question. I would have to play the match up many more times to come to a conclusive answer. My guess is that the Precision Design Corporation deck will be slightly favoured until the Runner becomes more experienced and aggressive, and then the tables will shift. I'd be excited to hear what your expeirence is with the matchup.

Hey tesseract! If you're referring to the non-subroutine text on those ice, whether or not it resolves is entirely dependant on what the exact text is. The classic example of this interaction is Tollbooth, which forces the Runner to lose three credits when the Tollbooth is encountered. All of the bypass tools you listed are structured roughly similarly: "Whenever you encounter a piece of ice, bypass it." This means that both players have an ability that fires when the Tollbooth is encountered - the Runner's effect will bypass the Tollbooth, while the Tollbooth's effect will make the Runner lose three credits. When two conditional abilities have the same trigger, the active player (the player whose turn it is), is required to fire their abilities first. Now since it is the Runner's turn, they are the active player and have priority, and so they fire their bypass trick first when they encounter the Tollbooth. Once the Tollbooth is bypassed, the Runner is no longer encountering the Tollbooth, and the window for the Tollbooth to sap three credits is no longer active. The Tollbooth's effect fizzles. In short - bypass should always beat 'on encounter' ice text, since the bypass always happens first. All that being said, the three ice you mentioned don't have 'on encounter' abilities. Pulse and Anemone have 'on rez' effects, and Anansi has a 'when an encounter with this ice ends' clause. Bypass does not interact with 'on rez' at all. Not only is ice is rezzed during the 'approach step' of a run, well before the Runner has a chance to do any bypassing, but regardless of how the Runner is going to interact with the ice, it was rezzed. Anansi's 'when an encounter with this ends' clause will also fire if the Anansi is bypassed. The Runner did encounter the Anansi - that's how they fired their "Whenever you encounter a piece of ice, bypass it" text. As we mentioned in the above Tollbooth case, once the Anansi is bypassed, the encounter with the Anansi ends. Therefore, an encounter with the Anansi ended, and the subourtines weren't fully broken. Zap! Inside Jobbing an Anansi can be pretty rough. Notably, this works entirely the same with ice with "When the Runner passes this ice" clauses, like Tatu-Bola or Phoneutria. If you do need to bypass an Anansi safely, I'd recommend a Capybara - if the Anansi is derezzed, its harmful text won't be active. Hopefully that helps. Thanks for the kinds words too, eh!

@MetropoleGrid that is an incredibly brilliant answer and solves everything. We looked on Netrunner DB and the cards and rulings but your answer thoroughly clears it up, thank you so much 👍🎉

I'm afraid not, sorry!

​@@patrickjsklar8315which Patrick are you? Your intro was a bit too short for me 😢 and it is always nice to know to whom I'm listening

I'm the Patrick who's on the NSG Narrative team! I'll do better at introducing myself next time, hopefully

@@patrickjsklar8315 thanks for the clarification and sorry for asking stuff which is obvious for the more involved people.

It happened!

"Hobby" subtype.

x2!

As long as you have System Gateway, that's totally fine! However, if you can't get your hands on System Gateway, the Liberation Cycle (like most cycles) does not offer enough agendas to make legal Corporation decks. System Gateway gives you a strong base of neutral agendas, which makes deckbuilding possible. Keep in mind that print-and-play files are available on Null Signal Games' website for free, and proxying is legal at all levels of organized play. If you want to proxy the sets you can't currently get a hold of, I'd highly recommend it.

Congrats on the fantastic Christmas present, eh! Thanks so much for the kind words, and I hope you have a great time diving into Netrunner.

Fujii Asset Retrieval is perfect for this sort of archetype for many reasons, but I'm not sure if we'd end up playing Sisyphus Protocol. 5/2 agendas are quite hard to score, and those numbers don't line up well with Neurospike. See How The Run, on the other hand, sets up much more naturally for a five damage burst with double Neurospike. Just about all the Jinteki ice from the Liberation Cycle is perfectly spikey, and Tatu-Bola is incredible. We'd also get a huge boost from both Charlotte Caçador and Cohort Guidance Program, which both use and generate advancement counters in ways we'd enjoy.

Gateway content will be evergreen for years but update is being replaced by Dawn in less than 3 months.

As qwitwa mentioned, as of right now, it's unfortunately a bit tricky to tackle System Update 2021, let alone the Startup format. System Update is rotating out of both the Startup and Standard format in two or three months, and it's not a product I would actively recommend pursuing. It's an awkward spot, but I'll definitely revisit Gateway + Dawn (the set that is replacing System Update) in the near future when it's released. That being said, even with the Systeup Update card pool, there's a chance that we might stick with Restoring Humanity over Personal Evolution. That's mostly so we can have some free credits to afford the third fork to our damage plan - Punitive Counterstrike.

I'm looking forward to NSG dropping the natural conclusion, Lunch.
