1 v 1 games are over as soon as someone gets AI Central

I think I am the best right

Not even Top 10.

I think I am the best right now.

This is dangerous thinking and often leads to complacency. Generally I would say that if you think you’re top dog then almost assuredly this isn’t the case.

The better mindset is to always assume you’ve got room to improve and that someone out there can show you what elements of your game are lacking. No matter what competition I’ve been involved in over the course of my life I’ve always found (even while world rank 1 at multiple games) that when I thought I was Him I’d eventually find some one else out there who could show me that wasn’t quite the truth, but searching out those who could push me to the limit yielded even greater degrees of success once my mistakes had been pointed out and corrected.

As of today I’d likely say Parker is the best TfM player in the world, but there’s like 5 players in rotation for that honor in my mind and the 1A player tends to change from day to day since I can’t make up my mind and the differences in skill are so minute.

I agree, I think at this moment my game is the most rounded. I like Parker but I saw his game and I know how to beat him. You know how you review a game and see holes or questionable picks? Like moss being played in my Pkoo's game a days ago, I just know I can explot tiny things like that. I know I can take 3 out 5 with Parker.

The game vs pkoo where you instead of playing nra gen one opted for bribed? Where you barely won with birds and preds active for like half the game with agt and mars u? If you want to make a case for yourself, this game ain't it

That's an interesting starting hand. What line do you recommend?

There are 4 potential plant tags for NRA, but I assume you're suggesting to keep the Titanium prelude to pay for NRA.

Antigrav
NRA
Research Coordination
Ocean card (I would keep the space event not subterranean).
Research Network
Orbital Construction Yard.

Begin with 24 MC and 4 titanium.
Play Research coordination and NRA, overpaying with titanium, is one way to do it.

Start gen 2 with 6 plant production, 1 titanium production, 1 MC production, 3 extra cards, 23 TR, and 2 wild tags.

Just take 4 cards, wild tag, nra, agt and either ocean is fine. With research coord and orbital ofc.
Bribed is literally hurting us here, same as biosphere. And since Rook likes the word tempo so much, these buys and keeps are prime examples of tempo loss plays.
Nra got delayed till gen 4...

This set up seems a lot more like “game over” than most AIC draws tbh. The precise set up, in fact, that beats Gen 1 AIC pretty consistently.

Yeah. I am puzzled. I see that Rook is above 700 ELo now, but, I don't get that opening at all. Bribed committee gen 1 instead of NRa? Delaying NRA until gen 4?

[primrose1234]

And that by someone who calls himself the best.

[Acerbic]

It's okay, he never buys Moss so he's literally unbeatable.

[Corvus Mortis]

I think I am the best right now. Especially if you consider my 3p skills which cant even be touched by most top 2p players. 2p I am confident that I will beat everyone in a 5 games series. My problem is that I don't have enough time to play more live games, which is really frustrating. Last night I get to finally play couple in a roll and it felt great. Even though I was exhausted my game was still super dangerous.

I would happily play 5 games against you. Maybe we do 10!
