Greetings all!

I've subscribed to the list a few days ago. First, who am i?

Age: 24 yo
Location: Beauport (near Quebec City), Quebec, Canada
E-mail: Fyrewyrm@*********.ca

Now the introductions are done, here are a few comments and questions:

1) Can you pay Bam-Bam's ability more than once? Some of my friends last
night argued that i couldn't, but i'd like to have your opinion.

2) I am sure that was asked before, but What about Iron Lung? I have seen
ridiculous situations where the guy was going to the Lung till his runner
was almost dead or his hand was filled. I am sure we can only go to the
Lung once per runner, but is there any ruling?

I must admit this is my favorite CCG and that i've never had that much
fun to play a CCG. I played the RPG for 3 years and i think the CCG is at
least as good as the RPG =)

Where i live, SRTCG is prolly the most popular game in the hobby stores
(behind MTG, of course). I sure hope it continues that way, and that the
game only improve with time. :)

L8r!

Both of these situations are a no. You can not use Bam-Bam's ability
more than once. And when a Location says "Visit" you must turn the
runner to visit that location. I believe that both of these questions
had an official response from FASA.

No. Here's what we got from back from Jim Nelson (SRTCG game designer
at FASA):

Loki,

Sorry, can't grant your wish. Bam-Bam's Melee can only be added to his
Attack value once per combat. We'll make this clearer when the card is
reprinted.

Yes there is a ruling. Any location requiring a runner to "visit" it
means said runner is turned to do so. Thus each runner is only capable
of visiting the location once each turn. Here's the official FASA
response:

Loki,

You're assumption is correct. Locations that a Runner visits require
the
visiting Runner be turned.
