Pages 35 and 36. If you really wanted to, you could physically send him
any run - give him a big enough gun, and he'll move the world.

Anti-social (p. 28) takes effect on any run the character is "present"
in; to be present means to be involved in the shadowrun - "all Runners
on a shadowrun as well as the curretly revealed Challenge." So the
anti-social decker keeps the friendly wiz-mage from making nice with the
cops, yes.

Oh no.. more MtG. :)

Once a card is declared, the money is spent and it is resolved on the
spot. Period, end of report. If the Sticky-Fingered Decker went first,
you wouldn't have the yen to use the card with; but if you went first,
the money is already spent, and the card already resolved.

If it's your turn, you get to go first; if it's your friends, he goes;
if it's someone else's, you each roll d6 and the highest goes.

Can you use a Loaded Die on this? :)
