VidiianIt Takes a Lot of Guts
Introduction
Non-Vidiian: KCA Regency 1 + Supplant Opposite. A twist on Maquak with AQ Ferengi. Viddian: Genetronic Replicators with a 3 mission win. Attempt, bounce to hand and organ theft back into paly.

Round 1Non-AlignedMichael Van BreemenFW (+70)
KCA. Tight game down to the wire. Different random selections would have flipped the outcome of the game. I always played as many personnel as I could, usually 3, figuring my personnel would be stronger, and wanting to see how the vidiians did with the free report. In hindsight, I might have done better sticking to 2 as I had out plenty of people.

Round 2VidiianJoseph WisniewskiFW (+80)View opponent's Report
Vidiian. This game was a race. I played 2 peeps and organ thefted myself for 2 many, but not all of the turns.

Round 3VidiianMathew McCalpinFW (+90)
KCA. I was able to play extra ships to go after organ bank. Between battles Matthew used boarding claw to abandon his ship and score 10 points. Since I was near my outpost I was then able to fly Regency 1 back and dock, allowing me to safely report personnel and then walk them out to the outpost. At one point I drew a bunch of cards to put Matthew over 12 cards, maybe 15, and scorched handed him after I played down to 12.

Round 4Trek BarnesFW (+57)
Vidiian - I had some good stops and kills to slow down attempts at 5 missions and resulted in only one solved mission when I finished my third. I was only drawing +2 cards a turn so I couldn't use organ theft as much but when I needed a skill it was clutch.

Closing Thoughts
Fun event, I like the 2 deck format for online events that span 4 weeks. There's less of that "I'm stuck with this deck" feeling. I wonder if there's a way to work that in to regular online events. Perhaps the player going first declares a deck somehow and the 2nd player picks one of their own. I don't know how you'd declare though. Harvester + Genetronic + Organ theft (for extra bodies or dial a skill as needed) make it easy to deal with many dilemmas, which offsets their skill slot machine. I also found hard, especially in lackey to feel like I new needed. I ended up making nick names for many of the people cause I didn't know how to say their names.
