Hello Everybody,

We ran a little staff tournament - 12 players from all different departments. We played double elimination and the final four came out:

Nate French, Developer (Agency/Hastur - with one Cthulhu character)
James Hata, Developer (Hastur/Syndicate)
Christian T. Petersen, CEO (Agency/Shub)
Steve Horvath, VP-Marketing (Agency/Miskatonic)

We'll let you know how the final four broke out next week, and who was the big winner, with a look at the winning decks, strategies, pictures, and more!

Until then, speculate...

Oh, Donald6, you are SOOOOO Wicked.

I'll put my money on Christian the CEO. If he gets as testy during the Staff Tournament as he did during the Black/White Borders fiasco, none of his employees will dare cross him, and they'll all roll over.

Chick

Chicklewis? Did you come to the dark side? Enjoy it for it is where all us cool kids are.

Sorry, Carioz, to give the wrong impression, but UN coolness is my invariant state.

I'm still on the side of Light, Right, and Fuzzy Slippers.

Chick

Join the dark sie (dark - because we like black boarded playable cards )

Darkside? Hell, I figure we're on the side of the Angels.

So, how did the finals of the staff tournament come out ??

I'm dying to hear.

And what happened to Donald6's original response ??

Chick

Moderated I guess? It was pretty negative, but still . . .

I myself am also wondering the results of the staff tournament.

Agency/Miskatonic !! I like controling strategies.

I don't mind some game videos...

Good luck to everybody!!

Nate beat Steve in the finals.

So Donald6 was correct, as well as very negative.

Thanks for the report.

Chick

My pick got to the finals!!

Thanks for the report!

where are photos you promised?

I'm so curious to see the decklists

So, was this a mixed-border or a white-border tournament?

I must be getting dumber, but I missed the report completely...

Very short report. MattKohls said: "Nate beat Steve in the finals."

Chick

Oh, I thought it was a full fledged news article with all the trappings.

Sorry guys but I had to rush to get ready for Comic con and never posted the deck. The tournament was a blast, Nate played brilliantly as usual. He is clearly a devotee of Hastur:) I gave him a good game until a critical error ruined me during our game in third round (you cannot make any mistakes against him period, has Hata found out round two). During the finals he just crushed me flat out, very well played. As I said I ahd a blast and learned a lot my updated deck now has some answers for Hastur and is also faster, I'm looking forward to playing some games at Gen Con with people.

Here is the deck:

3x Descendant of Eibon

2x Marshall Greene

1x Steve Clarney

3x Undercover Security

3x Government Exorist

2x Unorthodox Psychologist

2x Paul Lemond

1x Dr. Ali Kafour

1x Professor Nathaniel Peaslee

3x Anthropology Advisor

3x Chess Prodigy

1x Cafeteria Lady

3x Laboratory Assistant

2x Dr. Carson

3x Short Fuse

3x Shot Gun

2x Shot Gun Blast

3x Small Price to Pay

3x Open for Inspection

2x Sleeping Pills

2x Binding

2x Eldritch Nexus

Let me know what you think.

See you in madness,

Steve

Yours looks like a great deck to include 3X "The Endless Investigation" conspiracy. Pretty much any deck with Anthropology Advisor in it will get two free successes towards winning that story, plus it regenerates !

I was surprised how powerful this card is. I've NEVER used a conspiracy before, but with an Agency/Neutral deck I managed to defeat my nemesis' Shub Regeneration deck, (which nearly always washes over me with the Red Tide) four games out of four !!

FFGSteve said:

Very odd deck... Were you restricted in resource allowed while deckbuilding (i.e. you do not have 3x of every card)?

Different people and different styles, I suppose. Personally, I have a very hard time running with less than 3x of anything in a deck (although with how the numbers add up, that means at least one card will be at 2x), but I'm odd that way.

Definitely negative, although I'll leave it to others to argue over negativity being unhelpful or unwarranted.
