Just got a couple cards snail mailed for a new deck and need some answers
for the inevitable:

1) Saeder-Krupp. If two or more S-Ks are in play, does each have its own
total for rep or is there only one S-K rep total? If the latter, what if
all S-Ks get Cherry Bombed (or some other trashing) with 195 rep in a 200
rep game? Is the S-K total reset with no S-Ks in play, or is it retained
(such that the annoyed player with -90 rep can let S-K win)?

2) Lofwyr's Schemes. Running team gets to an objective which gets LSed.
The new objective requires a courier of some sort (runner to be selected
at the beginning of the run) to meet the objective's requirements.
Instant run failure?

enough for now,
-me.

I'd say that SK's get different totals, especially if controlled by
different players... After all, SK is a VERY large Corp, and has MANY
powerful subsidaries and branches...:]

I'd say, yes...:] And I think that's the point of the card...;]

Can you say (In your best homer Voice), D'OH!

Just so you know, FASA has made an official ruling on this one, and the
awnser was, NO, the run is completed as normal, even if you now need a
courier or ball carrier requirement. The only thing the Lofwyrs Schemes can
change is the amount of points they get for the run (come on Sucker Run!).
