Hej fellow Netrunners,
I got inspired (a.k.a. stole) the idea of Janksgiving and transfered it to the Christmas time because Thanksgiving isn't really a thing in Austria.
In the spirit of Janksgiving this will also be a charity event. There is no participation fee but donations are welcome and the winner will be able to choose the charity for the collected donation. There will be prices provided by me from my personal vault.
We will play probably 3 (maybe 4 if time allows it) rounds of double sided swiss.
Following an adapted description from shiiuga (who organised the side event at worlds 2025):
How does it work?
What do Netrunner players love doing more than anything else? That's right! Rage quitting on JNet. Playing bad jank. Well, boy do I have the format for you!
You will first generate a set of Jank rolls using our brand new handy dandy Jankpplication, The Janksgiver (very kindly made by @solemn_storm) which can be found here: https://jankgiver.solemn.website/. You will then choose one full set of those rolls for each side, Corp & Runner, and build decks with them using the deckbuilding rules below.
Then, you bring your decks to the tournament and face off against everyone else's jank until we crown the ultimate jank champion (jankion?), all while raising some money for a good cause.
Mulligan Rules
If you really don't like any of your initial rolls on one side, you can take one free mulligan. You may only do this for ONE SIDE, and you must use your Mulliganed roll, even if you think it's worse than the first 3. Sometimes the jank gods are not smiling on us. There are currently no other known reasons to get a mulligan, but weird stuff happens all the time, so if you think you deserve one, contact me.
Deckbuilding Rules
This has been simplified this year because Ben is a genius and built an app that removes all the edge cases that needed extra rerolls. This is a casual level event. Decklists are not required unless you want to show off your wombo combo. Use your weirdest alt arts. Your opponents will be looking at the top card of R&D with confusion already anyway.
Deckbuilding rules are as follows:
Important Update: I tried the website and I think the percentages are not up to date. So I have to make following additions changes:
For the rolls we use an honour system, and I trust everybody will use what the jank gods gave them. Also please screenshot your rolls and post it on the thread in the paradice discord server or send me an direct message/email.
Hope to see you at the event and happy Janksmas.
