as it were.
Okay, fine, we know that people are a bit flustered. That issue is gonna
be resolved. Looks like the word on high is that if someone violates the
rules again, SMACK, warning then off the list. Issue resolved. Can we
move to something a bit more constructive? This isn't E-bay or OnSale...
Okay, here's my deck again. My one time fling. My Stranger In The Night.

I would've liked to include more Ambidextrouses, but I didn't have
them until that weekend on trades. Needless to say, I really didn't need
them.
This deck was played as a suprise. No one really knew what I was going
to play. My goal was to play Torgo with 2 Whips, Ambidex., Heavy Armor,
Doc Plat, Lucky Wabbit's, and Wired Reflexes. However, my Amb. card would
have to be at the bottom, so I stuck one with Ravage. Good trade, actually.
With all my runners out, there would be plenty of fodder for Skills to
cash in. The various runners almost insured that I'd be able to sleaze
any challenges I faced. Ravage and Torgo could deal the same amount of
damage all day, and their high melee skill made it rare that they'd take AP
damage from the whips. Ahhhh, Stamina....
Anyhoo, I tried to keep the gear to functional. For the two deckers,
I not only could visit Fuchi if I wanted some small amount of cash (I
think Fuchi's cheap for getting rep....why not then call it FuchiRun, not
Shadowrun....self defeating....but I digress....)
Fastjack would allow me to choose the order to face challenges so I
could sleaze as far as possible. My challenges were designed to stop other
big running teams. Mine Field is especially mean on a 6 runner team with
no demolitions and low body...Oops, AP is a bad thing... :-)
Better Offer was to cause havoc with a friends' Merc deck (where he
got the idea is a different story...) So was the Troll Bouncer, as some
friends play big decks that require multiple runs to the Iron Lung.
It's all gravy for me....
Shady Managers? Get me money from other bands, and keep mine to
myself. Also the Even Stevens were for those who had better bands than I
did,
and were trying to protect themselves with their own Managers.
Anyway, this deck did okay. It won, which I was happy about. Of
course, this one was played without any foreknowledge of what I was gonna
use.
I'm sure they've geared up to try and take it down now, but it was fun
while it lasted (now going into retirement...)
Any comments are welcome.
(end of pasted text)
Okay, make suggestions on how I could prepare for, let's say, 3 other
people specifically gunning for this deck. Mind you, I want to keep the
card count down, because it's saving grace was that I could cycle through
this deck quickly.
And those lurkers that think you don't have the experience to comment, or
don't comment in general, send 'em, ok? Help kill this damn conversation
about what's appropriate to post on the list. Our Gridsecs, FL, and AFL
will take care of that. Closed discussion.
Thanks in advance for all the comments!
Jon
