Much appreciated Steve added them to the FAQ I am compiling.
Did you mean "Obscure" in how it is handled or that you could not
quite follow the answer. I actually found it the anwser to this
question as something I did not like. The ruling goes completly
against what the card text says. I think that they made the ruling
maybe to keep "Joe" from lying about what he had in his hand. I would
definatly think about lying if the only challenge in my hand was
"Gaurdian Dracoform". I would like to see that this ruling be banned
from any tournement play, because you have the "RuleMaster" there to
make sure that "Joe" is not lying. Loki see if you can get FASA to
recomment on this one.
Security Camera Text post for your convience.
"If alarm is triggered, return Security Camera to YOUR hand and
replace with another Challenge from YOUR hand. Runner team must face
this new Challenge immediately. If you have no Challenges in YOUR
hand, treat Security Camera as a bluff."
