Trying to better learn how the Orange guys work |
Introduction |
So after watching some of John's games at worlds, i decided it was time to really work to understand better how the ferengi flow works to know what to disrupt etc. So i strait up copied his deck and had some fun with it. I need to work with it more to get smother but by the end of the day i was starting to get the hang of it. |

Round 1 | | Bye | BY (0) |
shuffle the cards randomly for like 10 minuets until some one else tells me to stop and give my self the first round bye... This game did not help me learn ferengi. |

Round 2 | | Amber Van Breemen | MW (+40) |
First game trying to understand the new guys, but the dilemmas were hitting fairly well against voyager including an early WNHGB, to slow her way down, but after the only REga took off his mask, and then I faced SOOOOOO many dilemmas he could eat, i could never get my third mission either. |

Round 3 | | Michael Van Breemen | TT (0) |
What a crazy game two of the 9 cost rules in my opening hand, and never a TATV to be seen, and i had to sped a LOT of counters using brunt nearly every turn to keep big green events in check, I drew what should have been OK on MVBs first run at the Gama +1 space only to find out he had only ONE treachery for AIOT!!!!, not that ANY other dilemmas i draw would have been better, for a free solve first attempt. I eventually solved my space with insurrection and needing LOT of TS for TS dilemmas, MVB had to spend points on something, after his solve and neither of us could ever get through a second mission, once again rega got nuked ad then i needed him a lot after that, i think I'm adding a second at least to the deck. The game ended 30-30. |

Round 4 | | Roxanne Barbour | TT (0) |
Roxanne was Maquie and fairly interfernacey. The first game i got all three 9 cost rules under ferenginar early, and has PAR but NO other rules to swap them with at first. Once i did I got one boost off and set up the next turn for another one, that would let me get the quest-Love out with the ability to make all my guys AU, because roxanne's dilemma pile was VERY slim, and I'd over heard the words ACE at some point so i wanted heavy kill prevention open. Roxanne nuked my RULE! giving my 5 points which she shared in and then spent fro AWC jumping her back well into the lead, as i need two turns now to get a good ship going. She solved a mission, popping in to the lead, on the second turn when i was finally ready i build up my crew flew to space and time ran out, Gish + all AU made short work of the kill pile in space, with my easy planet under a Bio weapon I had enough range to get to the big one with us sitting tied i gave it my best but i could not afford for more then one people to get stopped, and with the event making all but one of my guys PAST I gave it a shot, but Roxanne managed to dredge up two stops from her pile to have it end tied. |

Closing Thoughts |
More Rega, at Least with the piles I faced today i really needed one or two more to be able to replay him, it was odd because the dilemma meta has been more skill based recently around here and i think people were recognizing that and expecting a LOT of skill cheating so they when skill less piles a lot today and Rega was sad never getting to eat any thing because he kept becoming some one else.
I'm starting to get a handle on the deck, it was fun to be on the other side of the ferengi + 394839263946 counter poop for once, I think I'll have to revisit this in the future again some time, to learn it better, I'm getting there but I'm still a novice at my friends in orange.
In the end what a crazy day, more ties then I've seen in the last year or more all in one day with both my self and Roxanne having two each! And not from like oh every one is running 35 point missions no most people had different cost missions, and it keep involving people having gained or given bonus point to opponents, (to destroy events or make dilemmas consume less), and/or spent points, just crazy when it rains it pours, or in the case of today it was more snow like what was falling from the sky, (OK is was barely anything but hey Vancouver no supposed to get snow in early November yuk were are the reasonable part of Canada for weather).
