I would say no, as there's no way for him to "take the bullet", so to spea,
and the deckers aren''t physically fighting.

I don;t have my cards on me at the moment, so I'm not sure. Probably not,
as it would have to worded VERY specifically to allow this...

Sure, but they have to be using the weapon, so you would have to play it
when a runner goes into a combat and uses the gun...

Exacly... One point, one spell per turn. That's why spells like Fireball
are so potent...

I would assume so... tehy could also trade decks...

I don't think spells could be traded, though... (between Mages, not
deckers :))

Yes, as I did this during a Demo Game at Gen Con. And the guy teachi9ng me
said it was legal, so...

Yup

You did not voluntarily pull out of the run, you were simply sent home,
unable to pass by, so no.

hehe...:]

I agree that they need to define what happens when during the phase, but
they should try and keep the timing simple. First card plays, happens, and
if two cards are played at once, roll a die. And the loser should not be
"stuck" playing his card after the winner's card gets played, especially if
his target is no longer there. He should have his choice of whether or not
he still wants to play the card.

Also, players need to realize that this is a friendly game, and that there
whould be time to play the cards. Magic had to do that, by saying that the
player whose turn it is couldn;t "rush through" a phase, screwing the
opponent out of the chance to react... (My legwork phase is over, you
can;t play anything...).
