Peace and Equality

obscurica 1317

"Isn't this better? Nobody needs to be poor. Nobody needs to be put up high and dry. Through equality, everybody wins!"

"THEN WHY AM I LOSING"

An experiment in breaking symmetries. Peace in Our Time+Beth Kilrain-Chang on top of the raw efficiency of the Stealth suite means always having the cash on hand to do what needs doing.

Equivocation is nominally a risky card, but the twice-deep access is like having an R&D Interface you can tutor with Self-modifying Code, while also letting you decide whether it's best to use Patron, or if you might've accidentally missed an agenda. Giving your opponent card advantage in exchange for better information and deeper dives maaayy be worth it. Unless it's CI7, in which case you're solely using it to pre-check Patron.

Then: you run R&D or HQ a few dozen times with The Turning Wheel on the table, load up on enough Net Mercur credits to guarantee that you smash through R&D's defenses, and go for a glory run with "Freedom Through Equality".

Has running out of lady counters been a problem for you?

@Erik LutschThere's a risk of it with only Clone Chips for recursion, yeah. But it helps a ton that it's Kit -- all monolayer ice are effectively Code Gates, at least for the first run of a turn, so Lady isn't even relevant until much later.

You can break 32 Barrier subroutines before a Levy reset. 64 total after. I think the math works out in the runner's favor there.
