Rebuilding Tinseltown 1.0

Jack Weyland paraded into his New Angelas boardroom with a smile on his lips and something new gleaming in his eyes.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I just got back from my trip to Mumbad, and I have to tell you all it has been most... spiritual."

"I was given the opportunity to visit a holy temple. As I sat in that temple, surrounded by a bunch of sacred bullshit, it hit me! Through all the noise, through all the distractions... It hit me!"

"We, humans, have forgotten our purpose. We have become consumers, users, parasites. Let the clones do that! And we'll provide the food and clothes and pads and relieve them of their burdensome credits. No, we are builders! And nobody builds better than Jack Weyland!"

"Today we get back to what we do best and start building something new. We're going to own everything! And nobody is going to have enough money to stop us. We're rebuilding Tinseltown!"

Put a piece of ice in front of HQ and R&D (maybe Meru Mati or Hive) and get to work setting up a horizontal economy through PADs, Commercial Bankers Group, and Diversified Portfolio (using Clone Suffrage Movement to keep recurring the income once you're up and running. If you're having trouble getting off the ground bring back a Hedge Fund).

Runner is probably going to have money troubles already between your ID (Gagarin) and a few Encryption Protocol. Reversed Accounts is just mean and keeps them poor if they are trying to slow down your horizontal expansion.

There are only 7 agendas in the deck. Government Takeover is not meant to be scored by either player and is used to keep agenda density low. Hide it wherever you can, typically archives with a Jackson to clear it out if runner starts snooping around. This leaves 6 agendas in the deck -- we need to score 3 and one has to be Hollywood Renovation. Once your economy is set up all you need is a Construction Co. or two to start scoring out of hand. Your economy should be up and running now so feel free to start using Dedication Ceremony to insta-fill your construction co. You can also use the ceremony with Reversed Accounts and some of your ice if security is an issue. With New Construction you don't even lose tempo once you start scoring.

Changes and concerns: So I'm very new to ANR and looking forward to some feedback. So far testing has been great. Obviously clot can be a day ruiner. Might need one more CVS. I am underwhelmed by Tyrants and Mumba Temples. Are there better options. Lastly, connections like Kati Jones and others can be a pain. Might trade in a Reversed Accounts for a Contract Killer or two? Looking forward to feedback!

Lastly, thanks to Xethik for doing the leg work and putting a deck together that uses all these new Weyland tools!
