Well if I realllllly wanted to be lawyerly - Gut Check and Motion
Detectors are both challenges, and so have equal standing. (grin!)

And I don't find anything in the rulebook as far as card precedence
goes. In most CCGs it's the last card played -- wanna roll a d6?

To use Loki's example: you, he and Dvixen are playing a game. Each can
play 2 Challenges per Objective. Assuming your Motion-Detectored
Objective is fully loaded, you'll have to face four objectives (Loki's
Free Spirit and Eyekiller, and Dvixen's Hellish Traffic and Incubus) but
your own two.

And again, to nitpick: you *don't* have to face your own Challenges; Red
Alert (and, once "attached", Motion Detectors) are not Challenges and
therefore, you face their effects as well.

Really.. you don't want me to agree and have every damn munchie play
this in the first tournaments, do you? :)

Well.. you can love Loki, but I've got a girlfriend.

Sorry if I seem to be kind of heated - 100+ degree fever this morning..
how the heck else would I be home all day? :)
