I was thinking today that it would be fun to have another Hap Masters comp. (like this)
The One and Only Hap! wrote:Scoring will be like golf, where the lowest score wins, and is outlined below.
Not completing a level: +90
Each rod or stick: +1
Unpowered wheels: +2
Powered wheels: +4
A solution: -10 or 1/2 your score, whatever decreases your score the most (use no powered wheels)
A solution: -5 (keep the ball in the goal)
A solution: -7 (bring all goal pieces back to the start area)
A solution: -4 (only rods/sticks used)
A solution: -3 (clear all remains of your machine from the stage)
A solution: -3 (clear all dynamics from the stage)
We would need 3 levels from three different players. If anyone would like this to work, we'll need 2 more levels. (I will make one)
There will be no host! At a decided deadline/time, I will save a design. Then everyone who joined (including me) will post their designs. (Which must have id's below the saved design at the deadline) After a few days of suspense, the winner will be clear!
Tell me if this sounds like a fun idea!

Updated: January 2, 2014 6:38PM
It seems like we just said goodbye to 2013, but time stands still for no one including the arts and pop culture.
So here's a look at some entertainment highlights coming down the pike in 2014:
"Performing Images: Opera in Chinese Visual Culture" (Feb. 13-June 15, Smart Museum of Art, smartmuseum.uchicago.edu): With more than 80 rarely seen objects on loan from major museums across the United States, this vibrant exhibition explores the central place that opera and theater held in Chinese social life during the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911). It is part of Envisioning China, a five-month festival at the University of Chicago, with more than 40 events and exhibitions.
Christopher Wool (Feb. 23-May 11, Art Institute of Chicago, artic.edu): In a career that began in the 1980s and has transported the Chicago native to the forefront of contemporary art, Wool has confronted the possibilities and limits of painting by exploring the medium from inside and outside. Organized by New York's Guggenheim Museum, this comprehensive survey includes paintings, photographs and works on paper.
"Magritte: The Mystery of the Ordinary, 1926-1938" (June 24-Oct. 13, Art Institute of Chicago, artic.edu): Rene Magritte made surrealism fun and, as a result, became one of the most popular artists of the 20th century. This splashy show features more than 80 paintings, collages, drawings and other works from his breakthrough years, including some of his best-known visual puns and quirky juxtapositions.
"David Bowie Is" (Sept. 23-Jan. 4, 2015, Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago, mcachicago.org): The iconic name says it all. With more than 300 objects, this exhibition will cover all aspects of this transformative musician's career and explore his influence on art, design and contemporary culture. The MCA is the only American venue for this touring show, and leaders expect it to be the biggest-drawing exhibition in the museum's history.
Jaume Plensa (summer; dates to be determined, Richard Gray Gallery, richardgraygallery.com): This year marks the 10th anniversary of the unveiling of Plensa's crowd-pleasing "Crown Fountain" in Millennium Park. The Gray Gallery, which represents the internationally known Spanish artist, will celebrate the milestone with a solo exhibition coinciding with a tentatively scheduled presentation of Plensa's outdoor sculpture in the park.

A full re-creation of Duke Ellington's little-known, unfinished 1960s-'70s "street operetta" "Queenie Pie," based on the life of black beauty products entrepreneur Madam C.J. Walker, stands out, the latest adventurous offering of Chicago Opera Theater (chicagooperatheater.org) with the Chicago Jazz Orchestra at the Harris Theater in Millennium Park, Feb. 15-March 5.
The tiny but accomplished Haymarket Opera Company (haymarketopera.org) has rapidly shown that Baroque opera has appeal beyond a niche audience. Two late 17th century settings by French composer Marc-Antoine Charpentier of Greek mythic stories, "Acteon" and "Le Jugement de Pan" make up the double bill at the Mayne Stage in Chicago's Rogers Park community, March 7-8.
Grand opera plays its part, too, this winter as Lyric Opera of Chicago (lyricopera.org) presents its first staging of Antonin Dvorak's romantic fable "Rusalka" Feb. 22-March 16, and showcases one of the current greatest and most communicative singers, American mezzo Joyce DiDonato in Wolfgange Amadeus Mozart's late "La clemenza di Tito" closing the season March 5-23.
The Chicago Symphony Orchestra (cso.org): Music director Riccardo Muti follows an unusual CSO tour itinerary to Spain's Canary Islands, Luxembourg and Essen, Germany, with a series of concerts featuring all eight Franz Schubert symphonies as well as his little-performed "Mass in A-Flat Major" throughout the season. And as a part of an examination of political-related works, guest conductor Jaap van Zweden will include important works of Benjamin Britten in the British composer's centennial anniversary year.
The University of Chicago Presents series (chicagopresents.uchicago.edu) has string offerings across classical chamber, early and contemporary music and jazz over six months including the Pacifica Quartet with clarinet Anthony McGill, Third Coast Percussion, eighth blackbird, the Venice Baroque Orchestra with countertenor Philippe Jaroussky, Patricia Barber, Dick Hyman and Bill Charlap. Symphony Center Presents highlights include pianist Emanuel Ax and friends in programs of Johannes Brahms and commissioned works and Norwegian pianist Leif Ove Andsnes in an all-Ludwig van Beethoven recital in March.

"Venus in Fur" (March 8-April 13 at the Goodman Theatre, goodmantheatre.org): David Ives' sexy two-person drama is about the power play between a theater director and the actress who auditions for his latest work, a contemporary riff on the 1870 novella by Austrian writer Leopold von Sacher-Masoch. Gifted Chicago director Joanie Schultz will stage this play, which — not surprisingly — has become one of the most produced works on the regional circuit, and already has been filmed by Roman Polanski.
"Gypsy" (Feb. 6-March 23) and "Road Show" (March 13-May 4 at Chicago Shakespeare Theatre, chicagoshakes.com): This overlapping bill is a bonanza for Stephen Sondheim fans, featuring one of his earliest Broadway musical triumphs (the "Gypsy" lyrics), along with his most recent show (a much-revised tale about the wildly entrepreneurial Mizner brothers). Sondheim aficionado Gary Griffin will direct both shows.
"Seven Guitars" (Jan. 9-Feb. 9 at Court Theatre, courttheatre.org): This is the impassioned 1940s-era chapter in August Wilson's 10-play cycle about black life in the 20th century. Set in a Pittsburgh tenement's back yard, the play's six characters mourn the missing seventh — Floyd "Schoolboy" Barton, a blues guitarist who died with fame and celebrity beyond his reach. Ron OJ Parson, a Wilson aficionado who has had three hits during 2013 ("The Mountaintop," "A Raisin in the Sun" and "Detroit '67"), will direct.
"Tom Jones" (Jan. 17-Feb. 23 at Northlight Theatre, northlight.org): Henry Fielding's 18th century novel, about an irresistible scamp with a weakness for women and a propensity for getting into mischief, has been adapted for the stage by Jon Jory. William Brown ("To Master the Art") will direct. Even if you can't forget a young Albert Finney eating and seducing his way through the classic film version, the stage show should be great bawdy fun.
"The Last Ship" (June 10-July 13 at Bank of America Theatre, broadwayinchicago.com): Making its pre-Broadway debut in Chicago, this musical that features the first Broadway score penned by Sting, spins the quasi-autobiographical story of a man who grows up in a shipbuilding town in northern England, heads off to seek a different future, and then makes a full circle home. Sting's recent recording of many of the songs written for the show is beyond rapturous and might well strike terror in the actors who have to sing them on stage.
— Hedy Weiss
Savion Glover's STePZ (Jan. 24 at Harris Theater for Music and Dance, harristheaterchicago.org): Tony Award-winning tap sensation Savion Glover is celebrated for bringing "tap dance to sound, and sound to dance." He and his ensemble will riff on the music of Dmitri Shostakovich to Prince, fusing the "hoofer" style with all the complexities of jazz phrasing, improvisation, "construction and deconstruction."
Kyle Abraham: "The Radio Show" (Feb. 20-23 at the MCA, mcachicago.org): A 2013 recipient of the MacArthur "Genius" Fellowship, choreographer Kyle Abraham is a product of the hip-hop culture of 1970s Pittsburgh. In "The Radio Show," he and his Abraham.in.Motion company reflect on two seminal events — the abrupt closing of a favorite radio station and the slow communication breakdown as a family member suffers from Alzheimer's and aphasia. It's all set to a mix of classic soul, hip-hop, rhythm and blues , call-in radio excerpts and experimental music.
Hubbard Street Dance Chicago (March 13-16 at the Harris Theater, harristheaterchicago.org): For decades, Hubbard Street has performed the work of Jiri Kylian, one of the masters of modern dance. In the company's inaugural repertory program devoted to a single choreographer, it will perform four Kylian pieces: The all-male "Sarabande" (to music by Johann Sebastian Bach), the all-female "Falling Angels" (to a section of Steve Reich's "Drumming"), the brilliant classic of swordplay and eroticism "Petite Mort" (to the music of Mozart), and "27'52"," an enigmatic work to a score that mixes music and multilingual text.
Cloud Gate Dance Theater of Taiwan (March 14 and 16 at the Auditorium Theatre, auditoriumtheatre.org): In "Songs of the Wanderers," choreographer Lin Hwai-min, who transforms ancient rites into hypnotic dance theater, conjures a visually stunning ode to the spiritual pilgrimage as inspired by Hermann Hesse's novel "Siddhartha." The piece, set to Georgian folk songs, is a blend of Eastern and Western dance styles.
Ballet Preljocaj in "Blanche Neige" (May 2-4 at the Harris Theater, harristheaterchicago.org): For its first visit to Chicago, choreographer Angelin Preljocaj's acclaimed company from the Provence region of France will bring his contemporary take on the Grimm Brothers' fairy tale "Snow White." This full-length story ballet features the music of Gustav Mahler, acrobatic wall-climbing and "devilishly sexy" costumes by haute couturier Jean Paul Gaultier.
— Hedy Weiss
"Sherlock" resurfaces: It feels like Miley Cyrus was still the title character from TV show "Hannah Montana" last time "Sherlock" was on television. The PBS/BBC co-production starring Benedict Cumberbatch as the titular consulting detective and Martin Freeman as his trusty sidekick finally returns for season three Jan. 19. Season two ended with Sherlock supposedly plummeting to his death, so I can't wait to see how the super sleuth gets out of this one. It's about time the game's afoot.
"Breaking Bad" withdrawal?: "Better Call Saul." Naperville native Bob Odenkirk reprises his role as criminal lawyer Saul Goodman in AMC's "Breaking Bad" spin-off, which could turn out to be the best or worst idea ever. The indisputable evidence is that the shady criminal lawyer turned out to be the most entertaining attorney to ever hang his shingle out in a strip mall. It'll be good to have him back — and even better if some "Breaking Bad" alums drop by for cameos.
Sets and the city: It's always fun seeing Chicago represented on the small screen, so 2014 is shaping up to be a lot of fun. Four new scripted series filmed in the city are slated to debut in the coming weeks. "Chicago Fire" spin-off "Chicago PD" bows Jan. 8 on NBC-TV (Channel 5), which has another Chicago-based midseason series, "Crisis," that is shot in Chicago but set around Washington, D.C. ABC-TV (Channel 7) will play "Mind Games" March 11, and the sole comedy of the bunch, Denis Leary's "Sirens," sounds off with two back-to-back episodes March 6 on the USA Network.
Welcome back, Jack: It's about time: Terrorism's formidable foe, Jack Bauer (Kiefer Sutherland), resurfaces on Fox this summer in "24: Live Another Day." Four years have passed since Jack went on the run and, blimey, he's been hiding out in Britain. Billed as a limited-event series, the 12-episode season will take place over a dozen hours, which is plenty of time for Bauer to breathlessly save the world.
Late-night shake-up: Come February, let the games begin — and I'm not talking about the Winter Olympics, although I'm pumped up about that, too. The late-night landscape will change as Jay Leno hangs it up (again) and Jimmy Fallon takes over "The Tonight Show" to compete head to head with ABC's Jimmy Kimmel and CBS-TV (Channel 2)'s David Letterman. Feb. 24 also marks the arrival of new blood in the form of "Saturday Night Live" fixture Seth Meyers, the gifted Northwestern University grad inheriting NBC's "Late Night" desk from Fallon.

Patty Griffin (Jan. 31 at Metro, metrochicago.com): Patti Griffin's career has spanned many incarnations, but the constant has been her powerful voice and gospel and folk underpinnings. She sidestepped her own music to record and tour as a member of Band of Joy, the Robert Plant roots music project. Now with "American Kid" (New West), an album that ended up on many 10-best albums in 2013, she is back to her own songs and playing this intimate rock show.
Neutral Milk Hotel (Feb. 6-7 at the Riviera, rivieratheatre.com): Tickets vanished within minutes after they were released for this reunion-comeback show of the psychedelic pop band. The band's sleeper 1998 release "In the Aeroplane Over the Sea" remains a rediscovered classic for its haunting mix of folk, pop and gospel. For many, this will be the first opportunity to hear those songs live, plus get a chance to glimpse reclusive singer Jeff Mangum.
The Sonics (Feb. 27 at Double Door, doubledoor.com): "Garage rock" is tossed around for revivalists, but here's the deal. From Tacoma, Wash., the Sonics was among that first wave of hard rock bands making cheap, loud and primal recordings that had an impact on American punk and grunge. Most of the original lineup reunited recently, resulting in an EP. Having caught the band's set at the Ponderosa Stomp in New Orleans in October, I can attest age has not softened the band's sound. Get ready to be blasted.
John Prine with Iris Dement (March 14 at Symphony Center, cso.org): The beloved Chicago-born songwriting legend returns following a medical scare involving his throat. Besides an assured survey of his best-known classics ("Sam Stone," "Hello in There," "Paradise"), this show also will feature his frequent duet partner, the gospel-soul singer Iris DeMent.
St. Vincent (April 5 at the Riviera, rivieratheatre.com): For the last two years, guitarist-songwriter Annie Clark has toured with David Byrne. That primed things for this new outing featuring songs from an album released in February. If the new electro-rock single "Birth in Reverse" is any indicator, the groove gets heavy.

Athens, the capital city of Greece is one of the world's oldest cities, often referred to as the cradle of Western civilization. Athens, part of the Attica region is one of the world's oldest cities. The heritage of the city is still evident, represented by ancient monuments and works of art, the Parthenon being the most famous of all.
The first place to begin with is the majestic and most recognized monument, the Parthenon, a temple dedicated to goddess Athena, situated on the sacred rock of the Acropolis.
One of the great things to do in Athens is visit Syntagma Square for the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier Greece, which is located at the Parliament Building. Your Greek vacation is not complete without a photo alongside the tall, commanding Presidential Guards, known as Evzones. The change of the guards, a ten-minute ceremonial procedure that takes place every hour is worth a watch.
Athens and Attica have the most prominent archaeological monuments including Acropolis, Odeion of Herodes Atticus, Olympion, Roman Market, Panathinaiko Stadium or Kallimarmaro, and The Temple of Poseidon in Sounio. A visit to the many museums, mainly, The Acropolis Museum, Archaeological Museum, Military Museum, Benaki Museum, Byzantine Museum will give you an insight on the rich heritage and history of this city.
Other important places to visit include Temple of Olympian Zeus, Lykavittos Hill, Ancient Agora, Monastiraki and Temple of Poseidon.
Athens is surrounded by pristine beaches. Flisvos Marina promenades a great destination for all ages, and is ideal for the whole family to take walk on the crystal sand beach or take dip in the fine blue clean waters.

According to Gerald Wesley Jr., chief deputy for the Bolivar County Sheriff's Department, a 911-call came into the department at approximately 4 a.m. and the caller said that an ambulance was needed because two people had been stabbed.
"When deputies arrived on the scene witnesses informed them that an altercation had broken out between three women; Clara Jackson, Veronica Matthews and Carolyn Matthews," said Wesley. "Deputies then found two of the three women with stab wounds."
Jackson and Carolyn Matthews had been stabbed and Veronica Matthews, 44, was taken into custody and charged in the assault.
Both victims were transported to Bolivar Medical Center from the scene.
Jackson's injuries were non life threatening but Carolyn Matthews' were and she was immediately airlifted to the Regional Medical Center at Memphis, otherwise known as the Med, where she remains in critical condition at this time.
After an ensuing investigation and with assistance of the Cleveland Police Department, sheriff deputies picked up Veronica Matthews at her residence in Cleveland Monday morning.
She was officially charged with the assaults and booked into the Bolivar County Regional Correctional Facility awaiting her initial hearing before a judge.
According to the Mississippi Code of 1972, if convicted of aggravated assault Veronica could be sentenced to spend up to 20 years in custody of the Mississippi Department of Corrections for each count.
Other charges could follow including murder in the event that that Carolyn Matthews were to succumb to her injuries.
The Bolivar Commercial will have more information on this case as it unfolds.

I agree that there are dangers relied to motorcycle riding and I further agree that on tours with KTM Adventure Tours, there are certain additional dangers and risks, namely the following:
1. On the tours, there are sometimes chosen riding techniques and riding speeds similar to motorcycle riding under competition conditions. Risks or dangers can't be excluded, even with the highest diligence of KTM Events & Travel Service AG and the tourguides. In particular can't be excluded the danger of a damage caused by another participant of the tour. Following to the use of the motorcycle off road, sometimes even in heavy terrain, there is a high possibility of damage or increased wear.
2. The tours lead through rough or unsettled areas. The dangers in these areas consist in particular in deep canyons and obstacles like per example rocks, trees, holes and indentations, stone walls and ruins of walls and further varying or difficult soil, which can't be seen or occur, following to the speed, very quickly. Communication is difficult in some areas. In case of an accident, rescue and medical care could be available late or not at all.
3. Specially in desert- or mountain-areas, the weather conditions can be extreme or change quickly and radically without warning.
I accept all these dangers and risks on the tours with KTM Adventure Tours, in particular the risk of injury, demise, damage or loss of property.
I admit, that the pleasure and the excitement on tours like the ones offered by KTM Events Adventure Tours are partly related to the motorcycle riding on particular routes or in the sometimes difficult terrain. The dangers under these riding conditions are part of the fascination on tours such KTM Adventure Tours.
It's solely my task to estimate, if my riding skills are on a level high enough to master the route shown by the tourguides. The organizer or the tourguide isn't obligated to pinpoint and verify my riding skills and my abilities.
I take cognisance of the specific dangers and risks on the tours and I take part at the tour on my own risk. The liability of KTM Events & Travel Service AG and/or Offroad Adventure Tours GmbH, and their partners and staff on behalf of damages which I may sustain during the tour is limited on the triple amount of the tourprice, under the condition that the damage is caused KTM Events & Travel Service AG, and/or Offroad Adventure Tours GmbH, KTM Sportmotorcycle AG or their partners and staff neither wilfully or grossly negligent and furthermore under the condition that KTM Events & Travel Service AG and/or Offroad Adventure Tours GmbH, is becoming liable for a damage caused by a partner or a member of the staff. This limitation of liability isn't becoming effective if I sustain a damage of person.
Any liability of KTM Events & Travel Service AG, and/or Offroad Adventure Tours GmbH, of KTM Sportmotorcycle AG or the tourguides is excluded for material damage or damage to persons if caused by myself, except if these damages are covered by the liability insurance prescribed by the regulations. In any case, the scope of the claim is limited at the extent of the insurance cover in the precise case. I accept in any case to not to prosecute KTM Events & Travel Service AG, and/or Offroad Adventure Tours GmbH, KTM Sportmotorcycle AG or the tourguide and staff.
The conclusion of corresponding insurance contracts was suggested to me.
Usage of data: I hereby agreed that KTM may use my name and address as well as all photos, films and other images for marketing purposes, which KTM makes of me during the entire tour. I can revoke this agreement anytime in writing.

- Good stuff. Review by Tabetha
Quality Price Value I won a sample of this product in a giveaway and love it. My eyeshadow lasts all day without fading or creasing - it's easy to apply and is not 'cakey'. When my sample runs out, I will be purchasing this item.

Just checking… comments?
OK maybe I missed this earlier… Corporations DO win, right?
Posted 30 November 2012 - 05:01 PM
Posted 30 November 2012 - 05:29 PM
Yes. Yes, they do. From winning the Agenda race to just killing the Runner, the Corp can and does win.
(Thinks about the time I got hit by a double Scorched Earth.)
Posted 30 November 2012 - 05:58 PM
I was just thinking about opening a similar topic, only with a bit less sarcastic title…
The thing is that out of 10+ games with corporations, I have yet to win a single one. I've won with the runner-side but never with a corp, and I began to wonder that maybe it is not a coincidense, and there may be a bigger issue here. I am not saying that the game is unbalanced and/or favors the runner, but maybe the corp-side requires more attention and strategy in order to win--i.e. harder to play.
Anyways, I would love to read corporation strategies, considerations, and just general advices from more experienced players who actually do win when they play with a corporation.

I feel that that's true. I haven't played the original Netrunner, and I've found the runner side to be more intuitive and straight-forward to play, which I think makes it easier. A lot of the corporations defense lies in the hidden information aspect, so it's a lot of about adjusting your play style to stay unpredictable. If the runner picks up on where you always put which type of card and when, then it'll be easier for them to avoid traps and run on the agendas. I also feel like managing your economy is a bit more tricky on the corp side (making sure to have the credits to rez the ice when you need it vs. advancing agendas and traps, etc.). So I think it's more challenging for new players like us to play corporation.
Posted 30 November 2012 - 08:22 PM
I tend to fall on the opposite side, but I do play mostly corporations. It really depends on the starts for both sides. If the corp can get 2-3 end run ice starting and some money card they can set themself up pretty well. Generaly I try and setup some early defense on the HQ and R&D then find a way to get off a few turns on Melange Mining Corp so my economy is up and running. Usually after I am doing well on that I just start laying ice and spending turns on Melange while making it the easiest to run on so they can remove it. After that I try and set up a mega server ala tons of ice and start advancing agendas under it.
Ya it isn't easy to always get this opening, but with some deck building it can be done. Generally it is much easier to do with HB and Wayland since they have much better in faction ice so you can get your ice count around 20+ so you are never digging for it. Also Adonis Campaign in HB along with their identiy makes it very easy to get a good economy going. Even with Adonis I still run Melange.
In general I think if you are learning Corp HB is probably the best one to play followed by Wayland. Their default decks are hands down better then NBN and Jinteki, and once you add deck building to it you can do nasty things like throw in Snare! and Tollbooth.
I need to work on playing Runner more because my experience with that side is severly lacking, at this point I probably play 4-5 corp games for every one runner. In the end I feel like if anything at worse the sides have a match up of 6/4 in favor of runners which isn't so bad and certainly winnable with practice.
Posted 30 November 2012 - 08:57 PM
Personally I find it much easier to win games as the Corp than as the Runner. Maybe its just that the Corp fits my playstyle better.

Posted 01 December 2012 - 12:13 AM
Not only do I find that the Corp side is able to win, it wins far more regularly than the Runner. The players that I am playing with are both experienced players of multiple TCGs, and both also prior experience with O:NR, as well as A:NR. The runner at the moment does not have the tools available to achieve anything like a 50/50 matchup, which is a factor of the small pool of cards in Core (only 252 cards in the new version, vs.374 in the old game basic set), as well as the distribution model which I presume promotes small basic sets with rapid monthly release growth.
Splitting those 252 cards six (seven?) ways from Sunday with the Identities/Factions further limits the pool available to each Runner. Despite this I think that the Runner is slightly in a stronger position in the current game than in the old game - from an analytic consideration of the points of distinction between O:NR and A:NR - however, the play experience is not bearing that out. While the rules may have shifted slightly to better favour the Runner our sense is that the card pool is what's hindering the Runner from making a strong opponent against the better Corp decks that we're running.
So in one sense we're feeling quite the opposite. A dozen or so more games and we did start to see the naif Runner decks we were using move towards more sophisticated builds that did improve their chances of winning beyond a lucky pluck off R&D or two (or a screwed deal for the Corp - handful of Agenda and a hard-atttacking Runner), but overall the Runner is still the weaker of the two sides.
One suggestion, and I know this is a weird-seeming one: want to be a better Corp player? Ignore the Mulligan rule. Even when we used house rules back in O:NR for the Corp to be able to call a "No-ICE Mulligan" you'd find that the better Corp players never used it, and it did not hurt their chances of winning.

Someone did a study of 1500 games
Runner won 55% of the time, Corp 45%
They also broke it down by each runner vs each corp
Criminal won 62% of his games
Anarch won 52%
Shaper won 48%
HB won 50% of its games
Jinteki won 41%
NBN won 39%
Weyland won 51%
Posted 02 December 2012 - 05:28 AM
I think there might be a slight advantage to the runners right now because corporations have limited options for agendas right now and as a result are unable to customize quite as much as a runner.
That being said, I think that the sentiments in the responses to this thread hold true, the runner might simpyl be more intuitive to some people, while others find more success as a corp. I think playing the corp as a new player can be daunting, and it certainly took me a few games to get the hang of it, but now I feel like my odds of winning are approximately the same as runner and corp.
Posted 02 December 2012 - 05:43 AM
Seriously? Someone recorded 1500 games? Not 1504? … How?Where was / is this database? This ANDROID netrunner or…
Posted 02 December 2012 - 05:48 AM
Going by the % in the study I found, It basically says that Runners are slightly better because Criminal decks can beat NBN and Jinteki more often than not
The other 4 (Shaper / Anarch & HB / Weyland) have near 50% win/lose ratios
So if we break it down, we can establish a quick pattern
By comparison, NBN and Jinteki when compared to Weyland and HB have the weak economy and they have the weak ICE to actually stop runs

The results are from games played online using OCTGN. The guy who developed the A:NR implementation has been tracking the game stats; here's a thread

i need to get off my butt and get that darn online game thing…
Posted 02 December 2012 - 07:29 PM
The Corp's best defense is neither ICE nor ambush assets. It's fear of the unknown.
To paraphrase the flavor text of a card from another game, the threat of power is itself power. More than carefully and strategically managing your actual defenses, a Corp player has to play his opponent.
You have to play up the danger of your cards against the Runner even if you can't actually use them (for example, rezzing ICE is too expensive). If your opponent knows you like to play with ambush cards, make it a point to remind him of that fact. If you only have weak derezzed ICE protecting your servers, show your opponent that you also have a ton of money, enough to activate any and all of them, especially the supposedly powerful ones that you don't actually have in play.
Simply put, you're perfectly safe if you're just never attacked.
A Runner who thinks the risk is too high will not make a run. Or, even if he does run, encountering derezzed ICE or a derezzed card in a remote server can cause him to jack out. In fact, that's why the game gives the Runner the choice to jack out at each encounter, and even before he accesses to heart of a server, the supposed prize of his endeavor, after he's already defeated all its defenses.
In a sense, rezzed ICE- even the high Strength ones with lots of dangerous subroutines- is actually pretty weak. The Runner will simply avoid it, accumulate resources to overpower it, then make a run when he's sure he's safe.
Ultimately, Netrunner is a bluffing game. The challenge for the Corp player is make the best bluffs he can. The challenger for the Runner is to do his best to see through it. The Corp wins by making the Runner too afraid to make a move.
(Of course, there are those brave, reckless souls who're not afraid of anything and run and run anyway. Sure, they will call your bluff, but the flipside is that they're also likely to get caught by your ICE and ambush cards.)

This is a very good point, and something to keep in mind when looking at the percentages culled from games played with OCTGN. I've played a few games using OCTGN (which is awesome btw, if you don't have it…get it), and one crucial element missing is the bluffing. It's much harder to bluff a player you can't see and who can't see you. If your opponent is sitting across the table, there are facial cues and things you can say to give your opponent a false impression of what you're doing. I would wager that, if you did the same break down on live, face to face games, the percentages would be much different.
As for my personal experience, with a fairly limited number of plays thus far, Runners do tend to win more than Corp, but I have definitely seen decisive Corp victories, only one of which was a flat line.
Posted 03 December 2012 - 03:59 AM
Speaking as a somehwat experienced card flopper, Runners are a LOT more intuitive and play a lot closer to what the "average" TCG play is expected to feel like, like while Corp tends to play like a strange variation on what you would consider deep control or combo decks.
It is also worth noting that the Corp is significantly more vulnerable in the event of a truly bad starting hand then the Runner.
Posted 03 December 2012 - 04:46 AM
Now that we have quite a few general insights on the matter at hand, I though I would ask some specific questions to keep the ball rolling:
1. What is considered to be the optimum ICE count in a 45-49 card deck?
2. Approximately how many cards do experienced players put into their decs to keep their in-game economy going?
3. What are the most commonly used card for credit economy?
4. What is considered a good Ambush/Asset and/or Operation ratio?
Now, I do realize that the answers to these questions can vary greatly depending on the underlying strategy, but I am sure they can be answered in general. I would also love to see the above numbers tailored for specific decks and strategies.
So, if you have the time, I wold love to see y'all's insights.
Posted 03 December 2012 - 05:31 AM
1. I believe the recommendation is ~20+ ICE.
2. Kinda deck dependent, but I want to say I see 6-12? 3x Hedge Fund and then some combination of Pad Campaign, Melange Mining Corp, and Adonis Campaign.
3. Hedge Fund is largely a no-brainer. Pad Campaign is solid, but losing popularity due to Bank Job. Melange Mining Corp is straight up sexy and a game winner if you can stick it and use it for a turn or two. Adonis Campaign is incredible, but requires Influence. Benstalk Royalties really shouldn't see much use outside of Weyland Consortium decks.
4. There isn't really a "ratio" to be used here. The main thing to keep in mind is that Assets/Ambushes are going to be taking up server slots and theoretically interfere with the placement of your agendas or will need to be highly exposed. So that's what you need to look at.

Henna Dinner Fork
still looks new and made very well. cleans beautifully, and can be used for nice dinner parties as well.........
June 29, 2011
The Good & Bad of Handmade
The attached photo shows both the Dinner Fork and the Salad Forks side by side. As you can see there is almost no difference between the Dinner and Salad Forks - I ended up just mixing them together because there was no way to tell one from the other. The length variation within either category was astounding. The Henna pattern was not complete on some handles or crooked. The thickness of the neck of each piece varied wildly as well. Definitely handmade with all that this brings to the table.

When I swapped the thorny problems of law school for the budding business of my flower store, Bloomers, I vowed that I, Abby Knight, wouldn't be caught dead visiting that hateful campus ever again. But sometimes a girl's got to face down her dragons….
Someone orders a black rose for Abby's old law school nemesis, Professor "Snapdragon" Puffer. But her plans for a speedy delivery are foiled when he catches her putting the bloom on his desk and sends it straight into the trash. Abby flees in terror, only to run smack into Carson Reed, the professor who recently had her arrested at an animal rights protest. After a biting exchange, Abby storms out of the building. But if there's anything she can't stand, it's injustice and bullies. So, even though she knows bad luck comes in threes, she ignores the advice of her sometimes boyfriend, hunk-a-licious Marco Salvare, and heads back in to retrieve her dignity and her flower—only to find the rose now decorating a dead professor, and herself the prime suspect….

I was recently in California
A hike in Yosemite, and another one in Los Padres National Forest!
Le Sentier du Fjord
A day trip to Whiteface Mountain (Vermont)
Yesterday I went hiking at Whiteface Mountain (Vermont) with my friend Yann. It is about 2hrs drive from Montreal, and we left pretty early. Got surprised that the Champlain bridge was closed, had to do many detours; and it was raining a bit when we got there but thankfully as we got closer rain became snow! Here are some pics.
Mexico – Animated Life & Panoramas
Mexico Airport isn't pretty
Mexico airport isn't exactly pretty, I mean I think they tried. It is situated on a hill, with incredible views on each side, but you can't see much of it unfortunately. It has an open air concept which is quite appealing, I like the 'idea' behind it, but the execution is probably similar to most modern architecture projets… it looks great on computer screens but in real life.. meh.
That being said, there are quite insteresting things you can do with a camera and the lights there; which are in fact tiny windows to the outside.
Pie De La Cuesta – The Beach is Gone
Pie De La Cuesta is a beach area, just outside of the Acapulco city, to the northwest. I came here in 2000 with three friends, we had driven from Montreal, Canada (not exactly in a straight line mind you). I remember the peace and quiet, and the huge beach, and the even bigger waves that would crash right on the beach itself.
Today there isn't much of a beach left.
As you can see. I was here during the development of Tropical Storm Polo; and what's left of the beach eroded by more than 3 feet overnight. The irony is that the mayor of Acapulco just invested large sums to redo the street at Pie de la Cuesta, concrete, nice sidewalks; but what he should be doing is investing in beach erosion stoppers cause nobody will come here anymore. That and the fact that there is way more plastic on the beach than sea life; and the sheer size of the waves. All they will have left is sunsets!
Flurry API in Mono for Android
Hi Everyone,
We have been using Mono for Android at Taste Filter since may. I love coding in C#, it is much faster than coding in Java with all the shortcuts (events, delegates, actions, etc). Mono for Android is generally very good too.
One thing that is lacking, is the amount of Bindings available for it. We need fairly specific analytics at Taste Filter, since we are introducing new ways to interact with content, new touch enabled controls. We want to know what is going on; how people are interacting with it. Have using Google Analytics isn't stellar; we want a better tool. More reporting, more information passed to the system gathering the stats.
I tried using the automated process for creating a binding from a JAR, but it didn't yield good results; lots and lots of errors which I did not understand; didn't seem to be documented.
The Notman House Project
First this is purely and entirely my own opinion.
If you go over to the project's website, you get this little summary:
"Built in 1845, Notman House is a historic landmark property located at the intersection of Montreal's downtown core and creative Plateau neighborhood. It has, thanks to the community's role, become a beacon to entrepreneurship, open collaboration and peer-to-peer learning. Currently, Notman House offers short-term office space for early stage technology Startups, office space for venture investors and entrepreneurial support organizations, a co-working space for freelancers, and an event space for Startup and tech community events."
And before that, you get a clear overview of who put money into the project. Those are private firms, investment bodies, and different levels of government. This project is, clearly, backed by all powers that be.
Why isn't it picking up steam?
I bet some people are scratching their heads right now trying to understand why it hasn't picked up more steam. I mean they did everything they had to do right?
- They created a nice video,
- They were very transparent about the state of things
- They managed to get a bunch of money from well established investors / public bodies
- They got plenty of press coverage (la presse, le devoir, to name just 2), everyone in montreal knows about the project I am sure
- And following well known statistics, you got a big push on the first day because it is known that projects which reach a certain threshold on the first day have a much better success rate.
Technically all the elements are there. But they overlooked something very fundamental in the process. It is so fundamental that even the name of the platform they chose contains the exact reason why it isn't picking up steam. And what is that?
Snippet – Converting yyyy-mm-ddThh:mm:ss.mssZ to Date()
So, in dealing with the Google Data API most dates use the format above. Here is a regular expression to decompose it:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 |
var date:String = "2010-12-12T09:54:35.002Z"; var exp:RegExp = /(\d\d\d\d)([- \/.])(0[1-9]|1[012])\2(0[1-9]|[12][0-9]|3[01])T([0-2][0-9]):([0-5][0-9]):([0-5][0-9]).([0-9]{3})Z/i; var res:Object = exp.exec(date); // year res[1] // month res[3] // day res[4] // hour res[5] // minute res[6] // seconds res[7] // milliseconds res[8] |
Now remember that the constructor for the Date
object is quite a pain. It considers Januaray to be month 0, and the first day of the month to be the zero'th day of the month.. With this in mind, you can construct the Date
1 |
var time:Date = new Date(res[1], res[3] - 1, res[4] - 1, res[5], res[6], res[7], res[8]); |
Now, switch to the time-zone of the user..
1 |
time.minutes -= time.getTimezoneOffset(); |
That's it folks!
Sample Code – Using the YouTube AS3 API with the YouTube Player API
Hi Everyone,
I have been absent for a while.. taking advantage of life. I also have switched to Android lately, doing some prototyping work with 80/20 Studio in NYC.
Someone from Belgium contacted me today about the YouTube AS3 API, so I decided to look into it once again. While browsing the Youtube API site I found that they have finally published a AS3 Player that can be used!! So here is some sample code on how to do it.

Consumer News Release
For Immediate release: Thursday, May 27, 2004 Contact: Bill Brauch: 515-281-8772
DES MOINES. Attorney General Tom Miller today announced a ten-state settlement with New Access, LLC, a Minnesota-based reseller of local and long-distance phone services.
The ten states alleged that New Access engaged in a pattern of deceptive telemarketing practices including misrepresenting to consumers the actual price of New Access' services, its affiliation with a consumer's current provider, and the savings which consumers could realize if they switched to New Access. The states also alleged that New Access switched consumers' telephone service providers without the consumers' consent.
New Access denied the states' allegations but cooperated with the states in reaching an agreement which will make significant changes in its business practices and provide better protection to consumers against deceptive telemarketing tactics.
The settlement bars New Access from switching a consumer's telephone service without first obtaining express affirmative consent from the consumer and further bars the company from representing that it is affiliated with the consumer's current service provider, or that the consumer is required to switch to telephone service offered by New Access. It also requires New Access to:
In settling the case, New Access agreed to credit the bills of former customers in an amount the company estimated to exceed $1,000,000. The company also agreed to deposit $250,000 into a trust fund for consumer refund claims and then supplement that fund if additional monies are needed. Consumers who previously filed complaints about New Access' deceptive practices, or who file a complaint within 90 days of entry of the settlement, will be eligible for restitution. In addition to the $250,000 in initial funds for consumer restitution, the company agreed to pay the states an additional $750,000 for civil penalties, attorney's fees, costs, consumer education, litigation, public protection or local consumer aid funds.
Participating in this settlement with Iowa are the states of Minnesota, Colorado, Ohio, Michigan, Montana, Nebraska, North Dakota, Texas and Wisconsin.
For each consumer that has filed a complaint with New Access, the Consumer Protection Division will notify the consumer on the procedure for filing a claim and provide a claim form. In addition, both the Consumer Protection Division and New Access will provide claim forms and instructions to any consumer that files a complaint by August 24, 2004. Individuals with questions about the settlement with New Access are encouraged to call the Consumer Protection Division at (515) 281-5926 or visit the Attorney General's web site at: www.iowaattorneygeneral.org.

Roadmap, or Roadblock?
by Jay Batson
I continually marvel at how much better the open source world works than the old proprietary software software world.
Yesterday I encountered an amazingly good illustration. I was discussing Drupal Commons with a team from a large, household-name enterprise that is planning a social business site. And boy, they had lots of questions!
Their business unit leaders, their IT staff, and their web designers all had some version of "Can Drupal Commons do (X)?"
Happily, I could answer either:
- Yes, X is built-in to Drupal Commons already;
- X can be had by merely installing an existing Drupal module available on drupal.org; or
- There's no pre-built module, but you can have X quickly via adding a bit of custom code to the open source base.
I felt confident that a Drupal-based solution for this customer will satisfy nearly every requirement they had with either 1, 2, or 3.
But the interesting part is this: When we asked whether the competing vendors had feature X available, we heard (more than once):
"Well, it's something (proprietary vendor) said is on their roadmap. We've heard it's in their next release, but we're not sure about that."
And bang - it hit me: the proprietary vendor's roadmap was a roadblock for the customer at that moment, despite the bright future that the roadmap supposedly leads to. This sounded so familiar that I had to stifle a laugh; in my past I've worked many years in companies that sold proprietary software, and we always needed a product roadmap response when we lacked a feature. And the list of roadmap features that never got implemented - and thus blocked a customer's business - would fill my laptop's hard drive today.
My happy realization at that moment was that I will never need a Roadmap response in the open source (Drupal) world. If a customer absolutely positively needs something, the only delay in getting it is the time it takes to get a programmer to implement it - either directly from Acquia, or from the staggeringly vast population of open source Drupal programmers.
Wow. What a difference! No roadmap (roadblock) promise required. No roadblocks for customers, ever again.
The other thing that hit me was that in the proprietary software world, the roadmap is always influenced by the biggest customer deal in the sales pipeline. If a big enough check comes in, Customer 2 will promptly delay the release date of Customer 1's most-desired, and already-promised roadmap item. In a proprietary software company, the roadmap is a BIFO queue: Biggest In, First Out. Tough luck for you if you're not the Biggest.
Can you guess what I'm saying next? This is totally not the case in the open source world.
And again: Wow. What a difference! No competition for highest-priority on the roadmap.
This was apparent in spades in our customer visit yesterday; we can deliver exactly what this customer wants, and do it now - without making the customer wait for some future release of a proprietary program or API. Plus, the fact that I could answer "There's a module for that" was an amazing demonstration the value of using open source: the breadth of available plug-ins amazingly accelerates the delivery of their business objectives.
This customer provided a textbook demonstration of the major advantage of using open source Drupal Commons instead of a proprietary social business software solution: The Freedom from technology limitations - and roadmapsblocks.
"There's a module for that" sounds good but should not lead to the assumption it will satisfy the customers needs immediately. Moreoften I find a module just being the start for a solution not the solution itself. That's fine for prototyping but the adaption to special use cases is not as simple as installing a module.
Great observation Jay and very true. Often clients don't yet really know what the final solution will ultimately be. Using open source gives them an in-expensive and flexible way to explore their ideas. In a large enterprise environment, there are a lot of potential requirements that will influence a spec and sometimes their spec is developed after talking to vendors and getting pitched the 101 product features of which they need only 50 but will have to pay for the 101. They may also need to tweak some of the features and as you noted add a couple that are not in the product. Open source gives them that freedom and is often the case with Drupal, that idea they need - well, it was just posted as a new module yesterday.
Great post, Jay.
One thing I would like to expand on is the possibility that Customer 1 and Customer 2 both want the same functionality, they can work together and get it for half the cost (or twice the features :P).
That's the next revelation that I'd like to see practiced more heavily in the open source world.
Audience size matters. I think that Boris merely refers to bounties and reverse bounties, which are occasionally used throughout the Drupal community already. But there's no real, not even semi-formal environment in which those are performed.
If bounties would be a more official concept on drupal.org, then a much larger audience would be able to participate, in turn, vastly increasing the chance for various multiple people being interested in the same solution.
Formalizing the concept and introducing bounties as official content and activity on drupal.org would additionally allow to review suggested resolution attempts, prior to potentially wasting time and energy. Also moving yet more topics from the (IMHO bloated, obsolete and bogus concept of) drupal.org forums into structured data that we can display at the proper places, at the right time. For example, when displaying project search results. :)
I'd say it needs less "enterprise", but more "community".
Daniel F. Kudwien
unleashed mind
Thanks for this comment. I've always been a bit vague about what I don't like about the bounty model, and your thoughts are helpful to me in thinking about it.
To expand that a bit:
The process of exploring user requirements and then converting it into a technical specification is one of those things that is much easier to say than to do, and sometimes it probably shouldn't even be done. The point is that "user requirements" are a language that is very different from a technical specification of what a module does. Sometimes they mesh wonderfully (hehe, e.g. when user requirements are defined in terms of existing technical methods), but usually they don't, in which case they will always be in some kind of creative opposition with each other. People who don't actually do coding sometimes spend way too much time deciding what coders should do, in my experience, when it should optimally be a conversation between the user requirements and the technical specification (yes, and coders deciding what the non-coders will experience is a similar disaster, but that's exactly the same point: it has to be a conversation).
So the idea that you can define a nice round technical spec. out of a set of user requirements, and then shop it around to a developer, is a nice illusion, but one that usually comes to grief in my experience. Sure, it'll work sometimes, but setting it up as any kind of standard practice sounds like we're going down the crazy road of RFPs as commodities to be bought and sold (and surely we've learned from that!).

Oxy At-A-Glance
Strengths: Inexpensive; selection of fragrance-free topical disinfectants with benzoyl peroxide.
Weaknesses: Everything that's a problem for acne! Most products won't help acne, but will irritate skin with alcohol and menthol; BHA products not formulated at correct pH range to exfoliate, and also contain needless irritants.
This anti-acne line sold at drugstores has been around for years, and has gone through its share of owners, none of whom have ever produced a comprehensive, practical line of products capable of addressing the needs of those battling blemishes. Current owner Mentholatum, which purchased Oxy from GlaxoSmithKline in 2004, has been busy re-positioning the line to appeal to men, hence the sleek yet masculine black packaging and color-coded labels. The new look may draw the attention of men (and teen males) suffering with acne, but regrettably, this is not one-stop shopping and, poof, your blemishes are history. Treating and managing acne is never that simple, and the most you can net from shopping Oxy is a selection of good benzoyl peroxide products. That's a good place to start, but steer clear of the other problematic Oxy products, and instead venture over to another section of the drugstore and pick up a gentle, water-soluble cleanser from Clean & Clear, a well-formulated BHA product from Neutrogena, and (for women) a matte-finish foundation with sunscreen from Revlon, and you're on your way to a smart, over-the-counter routine to battle blemishes. Yes, it would be more convenient to simply shop Oxy and get the same things, but this line has always had more shortcomings than positives—so knowing what to choose will help you avoid irritation and frustration.

YAKIMA, Wash. — Nearly 20 years after fruit breeders made the initial cross, the first release from Washington State University's apple breeding program finally hit store shelves this season.
But some within the industry questioned why WA 2, as the variety was called, wasn't given a proper name before being released.
Vicky BoydBonnie Konishi, a Washington State University breeding research technician, Spokane, talks with Todd Cameron of Cameron Nursery, Eltopia, Wash., during a taste test of promising apple varieties from the university's breeding program.So the university and an advisory group are reviewing the process before releasing the next variety in the pipeline, WA 38, said pome fruit breeder Kate Evans, who's based at the Washington State University Tree Fruit and Extension Center, Wenatchee.
"We haven't quite determined how it's going to come out yet," she said. "It will be a different release strategy than WA 2, but both are restricted to Washington state growers."
She was referring to one of the breeding program's requirements that nursery tree sales be limited to Washington growers because their assessments helped support the efforts.
One grower marketed a limited number of the new WA 2 — a firm pinkish-red fruit with long storage and shelf life — under the varietal name Crimson Delight this fall, Evans said.
The university began advanced grower trials in 2007 and released WA 2 for commercialization in 2010.
WA 38 is expected to be released shortly, and Evans said nurseries have been ramping up tree propagation.
Once the university gives the go ahead, she said it will likely take nurseries until 2016 to produce enough trees for commercial plantings.
Retailers and consumers will then have to wait several additional years for newly planted orchards to come into production.
WA 38, a cross between Enterprise and Honeycrisp, has dark red skin and a crisp, light texture. It also has good eating quality and long storage life.
Evans invited attendees at the Washington State Horticultural Association's annual meeting, Dec. 3-5, in Yakima, Wash., to sample and critique WA 2, WA 38 and a couple other promising varieties.
"This is the biggest opportunity I have to talk to the industry to get more kinds of feedback," she said.
She also works with Carolyn Ross, an associate professor in the WSU school of food science, Pullman, who conducts taste tests with consumers and a trained sensory panel.
In addition, Evans said an industry advisory committee provides input into new variety development every step of the way.
