Johannes Klarhauser (Kaiser) Tournament Report - 2E 2013-03-02 - 11:00 AM Relatively Useless Introduction Our Matter of Time release event. I only had time to print out some of the cards (no dilemmas), so I used the old Unfair Comparison pile. Round 1 Demandred FW (+100) Max played a TNG Bear deck that looked very similar to the one my wife uses. He quickly had guys out to score points and fuel At What Cost, but the two times he attempted in space I stopped him with Slighly Overbooked; when he switched to a planet, I had Coolant Leak into Whisper for him. He didn't get pass the Coolant Leak, so Whisper fizzled. Boo. Myself, I had a good start and recruited Data and Janeway early. After a stop by Legacy, I slowly crawled through Sphere Network, and in the end got lucky when a Legacy at my planet revealed 3 skill dilemmas for me - woohoo! At my second attempt at DAA, Max used his Endangered to stop the first team of six, but the super-crew of four auto-completed afterwards. FW, 115-0 Round 2 Markus Eberlein FW (+60) Markus played a Klingon solver with unstopping Gowron and Worf. I stopped him in space with UC first, then a lone Inequitable Exchange (capturing Gowron), then TOP to stop his two highest Integrity guys. On his fourth attempt, I could only filter out some guys and he solved, but I was going through my missions quickly. However, twice I forgot to Hindrance-kill Janeway so I could replay her and download the Tricorder I needed for DAA, so I had to go for the much harder Strength way and got stopped several times. I finally remembered to grab the Tricorder and completed with a big team and some Chakotay cheating. FW, 115-40- Round 3 Flo MW (+5) Flo played many 3-costers early on, and killed Riker with Tal'Aura after he had Breached my ship in space. It was a slow-going game, and in the end we both only got one mission done. Thanks to a Conflict of Interests, I forced Flo to burn all his 15 bonus points with Power Shift to overcome it, so even though he completed his mission, he only had 35 to my 40. I had stopped all the four cost people with Well-Prepared Defenses and TOP, so he couldn't move to another mission with his Bird-of-Prey, and the game ended right there. MW 40-35. Closing Thoughts Relativity is fun, but a bit messy. Needs a lot of tweaking to find the right balance. Consider this deck a work in progress.
