Jon Carter (pfti) Tournament Report - 1E - Online Event 2022-02-04 - 12:00 AM Stop First Contact Introduction I tried to build a new deck. It did not work. So I rolled a dice when Niall and I played. The result was... Stop first contact. Round 1 Niall Matthew FW (+100) Niall is doing some sort of Cardassian nonsense. Niall Locks me out of the earth with a transport inhibitor. I panic because I forgot to put the landing drone in my deck. I do have orbital bombardment, so I start bombarding. But since it happens at the end of turn, he just keeps devidian dooring people to the planet to lock me out. I am now in trouble as my other objectives only get me to 90 points. I kill some of his people and establish a gateway, but he has a captive and is labor camping towards victory. Then. with 14 cards in deck and 4 draws he fails to draw a door as we near time and I get the 100-0 win dirty. I mirror imaged masakas early in game to try to make it happen, I could have on my last turn, turns out forgetting was the winning move Niall you won this game in my heart I realized late in the game I could have drawn for the time location to get around the inhibitor via temporal conduit. Game was 85-25 in favor of Niall when the door ended it the other way I also had stone knives in my tent. If I had remembered this, games 1 and 2 would have been faster Round 2 Paddy Tye FW (+40) After a win I do not deserve, I continue to face folks from the UK. We have a romulan Deck. a scow and luck with god give me just enough turns to win He also has a TI at earth. I miss the first orbital bombardment, so I lose a turn there. I also get one of the 2 bad probes in my deck the first time I try to stop first contact. But I choose the low dilemma mission for the gateway after I a solve and I am able to just squeek through before paddy. I am dumb. I have a stone knives in the tent. I could have stopped in both games at any time. It would have sped me up 2+ turns in this game Round 3 Michael Van Breemen FW (+35) This game is fairly straight forward. I grind through two missions. It takes me 4 turns to find locutus so it does come down to the wire. Otherwise, not much to report Round 4 Brian Sykes FW (+30) This was a fun back and forth. I was able to drop a scout vesel turn 1 to be staffed asap. This made up for no nebula at the end of the space line. Since I was sans locutus for a few turns, I hunted his crews, this probs gave me the time I needed to slowly work through my two missions.
