Ekkk, had not realized that my posts as of late were drenched in
sarcasm. Though apologies are offered if they were. Our gaming group has
had so many tiffs over timing issues with this otherwise really fun
game, and that the lack of any conclusive consensus must have bothered
me on a subconscious lvl <blush> . I will try to keep the future posts
more clinical and less idealistic.

Okay, that is great, tis all I was looking for. A straight forward
answer. Therefore, you are simply saying that this card can be played
"retroactively" and sends the sleazing runner back before he sleazes the
challenge. I can live with it, even if I don;t like it, as long as we
all agree that this is the official stance on this card. <big smile>
Now that is dealt with once and for all :-)

Man, you are lucky. My gaming sessions are almost always 4 and 5
players games. We ALWAYS have people casting GAQS followed by LoTI,
layered on top of LoTI and so on and so on. Since there are no distinct
phases and/or sequences for Stingers <there are all instaneous> it often
gets rather confusing and a wee bit frustrating, but Still a heck of a
lot of fun :-)

Great that's extremely appreciated!
