Ok, how's this for a devious strategy? You use Media Chick on your
first run and pull out *on purpose*. You now have a rep total of -10. You
can sink no further. Now you can plug 10+ nuyen into Media Chick on any run
you want. You don't lose anything but the money (ouch) and if you make the
run, you win. Don't know how you'd go about filling out the rest of the
deck tho :).
