*sigh* ... I know it is not anyone's fault on the list. :-) BUT, we all
realize that this is a common card...therefore everyone has lots of
them. Now the best way you all have interpreted the *sad* ruling we have
is that, "...it may be played at anytime..."

So I can guarentee you that it will become a shouting match, as soon as
the challenge is revealed, that the Runner will yell out, " I 'm
Sleazing it" whether or not he/she actually can .. just so, none of his
runners can be GAQS-ed... Very sad....

Since, my gaming group thinks that this ruling was ill-thought out, we
are playing house rules on this card. In our version, it must be cast
prior to revealing the Challenge card. Simple as that.
