Relax a little bit about it. We already know how you feel about GAQS
and the timing thing. I end up forwarding a number of our posts to
FASA, Skuzzy and Jim as I parlay with them over rulings and lists
issues. I'm tired of editing out bits of dripping sarcasm here and
there to save List face. Remember, they've said they'll be subbing to
the list sometime down the road, and you won't know when 'til you
actually see a response from them. It's generally not good practice to
upset or peeve one's game designers. ;o)

Going by repsonses we've gotten from FASA you can use GAQS after a
challenge is revealed to get rid of a runner that is making the sleaze
requirements. I believe that's one of the primary origins for GAQS.

In the games I've played thus far, we've been playing it that way and
I fail to see the timing issues that has a few list members all pent
up.

Anyways, I've already said I forwarded Jim and Skuzzy a copy of Brett
Barksdale's post where he heatedly disagreed with their GAQS ruling.
When I get a futher response back on the timing issues I'll post it.
