Ensuring Better Citizen - 4th@CO Frankfurt, GER

Virulentz 82

A bright future for our society does after all require 'well behaved' citizen.

Our friends at NBN: Reality Plus are searching within the NBN RnD for agendas and tools to accomplish this task within these difficult times.
And they are ready to fight fierce, almost as fierce as one of their idols, the old roman war godess Bellona!

Just think of it as... being a good citizen.

The main goal is of cause is to track down displeasing individuals within our beloved universe.

NBN: Reality Plus accomplishes this by achieving a Seamless Launch for their Better Citizen Program. Cute looking but dangerous individuals within the 'Reality-Plus-Network-World', like Hoshiko Shiro: Untold Protagonist, will be marked immediately once they install network weaponry like Aumakua or are trying to approach their servers with a certain Bravado attitude or some Dirty Laundry plan in mind. But each time accelerating R+'s strategy with new tools or bolstering their funds. Most like even in a manner, that allows the corporation to be granted a Government Subsidy!

Once the runners do enforce their trouble upon the NBN servers, IP Block and Turnpike are at a central place to correct their behavior. And if they should tackle the remote server even after all these warnings, sysop Keegan Lane will make sure to get rid of these disdained programs - if needed with the help of a little Ping or by louring the runner into a 'Reality Plus'-spiced Funhouse. Later on it might need some more taxing surveying methods to ensure the safety of the server. And after all, R+ is not to blame, the plan was only to help people around the world with an NGO or prepare upcoming news like Tomorrow's Headline.

Within a former plan of the R+'s CEO the help of the Weyland fractions Retribution was used to ensure runners do not embarking any kind of ships. Nowadays they are cutting them of from any kinds of funds by enforcing (tag removing) manners in fear of a hypothetical BOOM!ing punishment. Or, if they won't do that, by trashing resources if they do decide to keep these tags. But besides that, especially by declining fermented fuel wit a bit of Mavirus sanctions, which will also hit potential Botulus parasites.
Situational a Tollbooth or Endless EULA are also there to help ensuring our Bellona to shine and prevent unwanted agenda-stealing behavior. Sometimes the Bellona might also come as a closing surprise to the public by a well-timed double Seamless Launch.

My plan for the Frankfurt CO was to pack decks with cards that I wanted to play one last time before their rotation. As you might have guessed already, for the corporation I had the, in my opinion a little bit underestimated, Better Citizen Program as well as Surveyor in my mind.
For the runner I chose and relied on the Security Nexus in form of Métropoles 419: Amoral Scammer .

At the tournament itself this, at least in my humble opinion, very fun to pilot R+ deck achieved me three wins but unfortunately also one shattering loss against two well timed Apocalypse. All four games were against our net-princess Hoshiko Shiro: Untold Protagonist.
With the one win, two draws and one loss of my runner, I came fourth out of nine overall and the main goal, having a final blast and great games with these cards, was fully achieved.

Additionally I want to make a huge shout out to all the lovely people participating, my opponents - Nick, Augustus Ceasar, Mr.Buggels & Tradon -, as well as an especially huge shout out to the organizers Zaphod and Tradon for preparing the event and the after-tournament BBQ.

And now go and help help enforcing the Better Citizen Program and prepare the path for the NBN-future - until we'll have to see what the new cards will bring. Have a blast :)
