<<<<Hello All,
I'm another newbie to this list, but not to Shadowrun. I've got a
question 'bout Viper:>>>>

Since SRCard doesn't yet rank it's own Bull-bot, I'll take the
opportunity to say it - Welcome!

<<<<What the heck does this mean?
Elf Runner
3¥: Street until end of turn?
What is "Street until end of turn?" I looked through the mountain of
posts I've received over the few day since I've joined, but couldn't
find an answer.>>>>

From the FASA FAQ 2.0, to be posted on their webpage soon:

~~~~~~~~~~
Q. Scarecrow's special ability reads, "Trash one of Scarecrow's Spells
to give him Street until end of turn". What is Street?

A. A typo. It should say Streetwise, not Street. Viper has the same
typo.
~~~~~~~~~~

<<<<I did find one heckuva hot topic in GAQS though. My own two cents
is, GAQS hasn't presented itself a problem yet. When it does, my
opponent who uses it will feel the full weight of my undivided
attention (well, that and my best runner with a Ranger Arms sniper
rifle who will try and intercept his/her runners at every possibility)
and probably not like the attention he/she receives ;).>>>>

Just so you know, you're limitted to one interception per objective
per game.

Also, this comes from our Game Q&A, to be posted to our list's
homepage sometime in the near future:

~~~~~~~~~~
Q. Can Indirect Fire or the Sniper's Roost be used when intercepting
an opponents shadowrun?

A. Indirect Fire can only be used to assist a shadowrun and
intercepting another team is not considered shadowrun. Cool idea
though. Maybe it'll be a card down the road...
~~~~~~~~~~

For now, the Game Q&A is found at:
www.oakland.edu/~ddmccoll/sr/temp/faq.htm

I'm just letting you know as both issues have come up as topics on the
list. ;o)

<<<<Another possible response to someone who loves to use GAQS, is to
load my own deck with about ten or so GAQS and go to town on 'em!!>>>>

Actually, you're probably just joking, but you're limitted to only
four of any one non-unique card in your deck. Rulebook thingy (pg. 11).

<<<< Well, that might be a little petty. In any case, I think GAQS is
one of many stingers which accurately portrays the "uncertainty" and
sudden suprise's of life in the shadows.>>>>

Exactly.
