I know you are waiting for the "real" answers, but what are mail lists
worth if not to share opinions :-)

I think somebody had used this as part of their 2nd round "killer"
combo. Personally I would like to see this limited to once per run as
well.

I would say the answer to this one is yes, they both get the bonuses.
As you mention below it is nice to have continuity, and there is
really no basis for allowing one bonus, but not the other. The same
sort of thing applies to Extended Clip and Flatline (or better yet,
Flatline with Extended Clips :-) Now who was having a problem with
Lord Torgo?)

I think pretty much it depends upon the event that is happening. For
instance, it Adam Bomb goes off while on a run, everyone who is
considered to be on the run physically (therefore eliminating deckers)
will take the damage. When the Delayed Time Bomb goes off, everyone
who is considered present in the safehouse (not at a location or on a
run) will take the damage. Ones that are more generally worded, such
as Tempest, effect every runner on the table. Not sure if that
answers the question or not though.

I've been trying to word an answer for this one, but it always comes
back to saying "that's the way it is". I guess in my mind it makes
sense but it's hard to explain without sounding goofy :-)
Just my $0.02. I've been wrong before, and I'll be wrong again though.
Later!
