SUMMARY:New Zealand Nationals 2016
CLASS:PUBLIC
DESCRIPTION:New Zealand Nationals 2016\n\n4th NZ Nationals was the bomdigi!
  This year\, the decision was made to host the event in the South Island (
 little ol' New Zealand is indeed divided into two major land masses)\, but
  the weekend was no less fantastic for it. 21 people ended up attending fr
 om all corners of the country. There were players from Christchurch (the h
 osting city)\, Wellington\, Auckland\, and even Hamilton present. Packs up
  to Blood Money were legal for the event. Suffice to say\, there were a lo
 t of Temujin Criminals present.\n\nAnd a lot of them came from Auckland\, 
 the largest city of New Zealand. There is a semi-derogatory term for Auckl
 anders in New Zealand called &quot\;JAFA&quot\; (Just Another F****** Auck
 lander). The Auckland players decided to embrace this term for their Just 
 Another F****** Andromeda. Behold!\n\nTop 8 Crew Top left to top right: Mi
 chael\, Matt\, Willam\, Robin. Bottom left to bottom right: Egor\, Luke\, 
 Jay &amp\; David\nHere are the overall stats.\nAs usual NBN was dominating
  the top of the field\, out-performing their overall attendance. HB was th
 e only other corp to make the cut\, underperforming its overall attendance
  (although worth noting that HB was both 2nd and 3rd so both top-cut HB pl
 ayers did reasonably well). The runner meta was reasonably diverse\, with 
 3 Anarchs\, 3 Criminals and 2 Shapers in the top-cut. With Blood Money rec
 ently released\, it is a good time to be a runner\, with many viable arche
 types available.\nBig congrats to the ever-affable Robin Candy for the win
 !\n\nI think they both won\, if their faces are any indication. David (2nd
  place\, left) and Robin (1st place\, right).\nChaos Theory with Security 
 Nexus as her console. &quot\;But she doesn't even have a base link?&quot\;
  &quot\;But she doesn't get the Kate discount?&quot\; &quot\;How are we me
 ant to even process this?&quot\; &quot\;What is love?&quot\; (Baby\, don't
  hurt me...). For a fuller justification of the decisions behind using Cha
 os Theory instead of Kate\, peep the NetrunnerDB link to Robin's deck. Put
  simply though: Kate's anti-synergy with Personal Workshop\, Chaos Theory'
 s extra MU aiding in housing the MU-expensive Magnum Opus and SMC with roo
 m to spare\, CT's reduced setup time and thus higher likelihood of seeing 
 a turn 1 Mopus\, and Robin's fierce loyalty to the beloved Wünderkind. Pr
 ops\, man.\nWe upped our streaming game this year\, which allowed us to be
  able to get the top 8 videos turned around in less than a week. That's im
 pressive (if we do say so ourselves)!\n\nTop table swiss round\, game 4. W
 illiam Turner (left) vs Michael Walsh (right)\n\nCommentary team From left
  to right: Donald Bubbins\, Dominic Shelton\, William Turner\, Mark Blackm
 an.\nVideos of the event can be found on our YouTube page.\nHUGE shout out
  to Mark (@zwarbo) for helping out so much on video stream\, commentary\, 
 set up &amp\; post event video editing.\nHUGE shout out to Donald (@guv_bu
 bbs) for organising the tournament\, helping people find the location\, fi
 nd accommodation\, and just generally being a fantastic fellow to have aro
 und for the community. We all love you Donald.\nThanks to Dominic for maki
 ng all the on-screen elements for the stream.\nThanks to Nigel for support
 ing the event from afar. Both financially and in spirit.\nThanks to Michae
 l\, David\, Matthew\, Luke &amp\; Ben for hosting all the out-of-towners.\
 nAnd thanks to all the out-of-towners for coming down!\n
