It seemed like fun but I will be simple here. I spent 30 bucks on printing cards. Honestly borg is way too much for my memory. I played 8 personnel and had 8 different abilities. I had to remember dilemma stuff. I had to download stuff. I had to do alot more other things. I didn't hate borg but I just can't keep up with all that stuff every turn.

So nothing negative just something I can't do in the game.. I will keep the deck to try again in the future.

kiinda had the same impression, when i first played them. their "names" dont help either. it gets better after a while though

[Armus]

Borg do have a lot of moving parts, that's true. And they definitely aren't for beginners by any stretch. I'd definitely call them an acquired taste.

That said, the single best deck I ever built was Borg, so if you're willing to deal with all of the moving parts, complications, and restrictions, they're definitely a really strong affiliation.

[Discovery rox]

the cool thing about borg is that once you become good at playing borg you kind of feel like your a borg yourself when you play it.

[BCSWowbagger]

Yeah, it's all about practice with the Borg.

They intimidated me away from playing them for 20 years, but now I have some of the most fun while playing Borg.

Congrats!

What they all said, above; and also: I love playing them but have some of the same trouble. Not to the same extent, perhaps; but they certainly do hurt my brain and strain both my memory and my processor to the max.

And everybody has issues there, at least in the beginning. Nothing to be ashamed about.

I've decided to keep trying, and so far, I've seen some things get better for me.
I hope you can one day return to your Borg deck, and gradually have more fun with dem Swedish-sounding zombies, too.

As for the names -- I just try to remember their task designations, like the "Procurement Drone" is the bloke who procures equipment. I skip reading or saying the numbers altogether. When I made that choice, it became much better to distinguish them.

(I still have trouble with the Jem'Hadar, though, in that regard. Their names sound so much alike. Does anybody have tips for that?)

My jem'hadar deck has dominion War efforts in it. I have never lost with the deck. First turn 3 card plays and 6 card draws. It only gets worse as the game goes too. You had in friction I'm so ahead of my opponent. It is my only turn 7 or 8 deck. Anyway I have to write down all those jem'hadar names for war efforts.

You said you remember borg by tasks. I just remembered them by red, blue, and green. I had a blue drone so I can use most of my equipment. I had a red drone so I could attack with a card.

I may go back one day. Right now I got over 20 decks and could make 20 more before printing anymore. So definitely not right now.

You all know I love to (fail at) play(ing) Borg.

Here's a photo of the 'line in my most recent game as Borg:

Anybody ever found themselves in this 'The Thing'-like situation?

Are you playing online with Lackey?

Are you playing online with Lackey?

What do you mean? Did it have something to do with the hidden photo I posted? But no, that was clearly a live game.

Actually, in the next game I changed from playing Borg to playing an android:

It was a question for Discovery

No

I own 2 laptops but I use my phone mainly. If lackey had real rules and everything in it. I might use it but from what I have seen it is only accepted by the community because there is no alternative to it.

You just proved why I hate when people bump dead topics. Especially when it is pretty much unrelated to the topic. Sudden is really big on this honestly. He has bumped year old topics on here. The process has always been from my experience. If it is off page 1 and has nothing to do with your topic. Just make a new topic.

[SudenKapala]

It's the other way around. I wouldn't say I'm "big" on bumping old topics; rather, I'm very small on making new topics (which is/was Disco's department ). I just had these funny photos to share, and for something like this I'm too... shy to make new subjects. (Which does result in bumping old stuff, so... yes. Guilty.)
I see now that not everybody checks the date of the previous posts in a topic. Which can be confusing. And it's all my fault! But at least we've seen here, as before, that sleeping topics are not necessarily dead yet.

To each their own.

As part as my way out before I'm forced to leave forever. I only make general topics now. I have only made 2 topics this month. Anyone who knows me knows that is less than 1% of my topics status.
