Language.
That's why she yelled it while grading and not actually AT her students (I hope!)

One of the greatest things about teaching college is that I can swear in front of my students and not get fired.

In this case, it happened to be me in the dining room yelling at students who can't hear me.

Is this better, Kaiser?

Hast du überhaupt die verdammte Frage gelesen?

I assume she had too much contact with Professor Carter that old potty-mouth.

Here is the mantra I always recited to my colleagues and PhD students: "The student is not the enemy" ... however, events in recent past have made me question that mantra ...

Die schlimmsten sind die, die sich vor die Tafel stellen und glauben alles besser zu wissen. Elende kleine Klugscheisser ... Na ja ... Lehrer eben :wink:

Sollte niemanden beleidigen, war nur ein Scherz aus meiner Schulzeit

Two things:

- with the limitations on gatherings at private residences lifted as of today, this tournament will be back on as German National Championship for STCCG 1E (see announcement article by the European OP Coordinator on the front page today)
- details on the scenario rules will be posted by Friday. There will be 15 different artifacts in the pool, 24 space/planet dilemmas (mostly ones that aren't widely played; the idea is to keep the mission somewhat unpredictable, but not stacked with eeevil things - you can always seed those yourself), and 14 NA AU personnel (mostly ones that are loaded with skills or nice gametext)
- self-seeds at Rogue Comet will be encountered BEFORE you get to the see rest
- Each personnel that is shown with their face appropriately covered (including Worf and Jazia), each MEDICAL-related equipment, Environmental Suit, each Ketracel-White, each Mask of Korgano, etc. (I'm open to creative interpretations here) will increase the personnel limit aboard ships by one.

For questions/suggestions, please post here.

Will the special rules apply to Saturday's tournament (so the National) or will there be an additional tournament on Sunday (as usual) with the special rules?

I'll allow it! In fact, personnel that are shown with their face properly covered will not count toward the personnel restrictions aboard ships either. Be like Idrin. Be like Thot Gor. Be like Worf and Jadzia! :thumbsup:
Would Ezri Dax (Cold Front) or Falcon be covering theiry faces enough? :P

*) You don't need an AU Doorway to earn the NA personnel right?

*) Are all the "normally" seeded cards encountered before the secial stuff jumps in?

*) Is the increase active for BOTH players and for EACH ship, regardless where the covered card actually is? One shots like Interrupts won't work or do they?

:thumbsup: Correct, no AU Doorway required. The Archive does not care about that.

If you want to seed dilemmas under Rogue Comet, treat them like self seeds: They will be encountered AFTER you have seen Cryosatellite, the three random seeds, and the artifact - in that order - you will only get see which Artifact it is after clearing the random dilemmas (if any); then you will find the self-seed of the player who goes first, then that of the player who goes second (if both players want to seed more than one card, alternate).
*) Is the increase active for BOTH players and for EACH ship, regardless where the covered card actually is? One shots like Interrupts won't work or do they?
No, it only applies to where those personnel/equipment are present. Not sure which interrupt(s) you have in mind, but if it's sth. that stays in play for some time, then I'd say it's good for however long the interrupt is in effect.

The idea was to do it for the main event on Saturday, unless a majority is unhappy with that and would rather play straightforward OTF.

Some clarifications:

Seeding at Investigate Rogue Comet:

• special rules cards are seeded first and will be encountered first, in this order: Cryosatellite > 3 random seeds > guaranteed Artifact
• after the special rules seed cards are placed, players can, in the dilemma phase, seed their own dilemmas (and ONLY dilemmas!) under Investigate Rogue Comet. These cards will be encountered AFTER the special seeds. Player who goes first places first and encounters their dilemma first, player who goes second places the next card to be encounterd then. Repeat this for additional dilemmas.
• The special rules seed cards consist of 15 different Artifacts, 24 dilemmas, and 24 personnel. Investigate Rogue Comet will have a guaranteed Artifact and a random selection of three cards from the dilemma+personnel pool. Could be three dilemmas, could be three personnel, or any combination.
• If Borg player acquires personnel from Cryosatellite, they may immediately assimilate them.
• If a player acquires a copy of personnel they already command, congratulations! You now have a clone!
• Keep in mind that acquiring personnel might put you over the personnel limit on your ship. In that case, you may keep the personnel aboard for the moment, but once personnel leave the ship, they need to observe the limit in order to come back aboard.

I would prefer to have the National a standard OTF and keep the special rules for a side event on Friday / Sunday. But I'll be fine with whatever the majority decides :cheersL: :cheersL: :cheersL: :borg: :cheersR: :cheersR: :cheersR:

I have not played since Vienna - so I'm fine with same or separate tournaments - whatever the majority wants - i.e. I can bring 2 decks without problems, to play the second one Friday and/or Sunday. :cheersR:
