Fixed in type 2.5 below.

I am not sure where you found that locations are turned when visited,
Runners are but it seems like you are implying locations are also.
Turning the location when visiting it goes against the cards nature.
It takes to deckers to add tokens and defend Diverted Funds. If it
was turned then only 1 decker would be needed.

No I did not want the opponent to be able to intercept the owner. I
do not understand the last part.

Kinda fixed that on the revision. I am not sure how to make it
clearer without taking up a page though.

Nah.


Diverted Funds (type 2.5)
Card type: Location
Cost: 0
Text:
Can be visited by deckers and deckers with hermit. Roll a D6 1-4: Put
a token on Diverted Funds. 5-6: Cash in all tokens on diverted funds
for an equal amount of nuyen. An opponents decker may visit this
location
and cash in all the tokens for an equal amount of nuyen for target
player. Diverted Funds owner may turn a decker to block any other
decker from visiting Divirted Funds, by turning a Gear/Matrix/Attack
card. If opponent is block then combat works as detailed on the
Gear/Matrix/Attack card. If the opponents decker wins the combat they
may visit Diverted Funds.


Some erreta that I could not figure out how to word.

Q. Can I use more than one decker to intercept an opponents decker?
A. Yes, but each intercept is handled differently and is one-on-one.

Q. If my decker is trashed due to an intercepted visit to Divirted
Funds
is he really trashed?
A. Yes and fraged if the case maybe.

Q. Can I use my Gear/Matrix cards in the intercept combat?
A. Yes.

Q. Can I intercept my own deckers?
A. Uhhh.. Sure you can...

Q. Can three of my deckers visit Diverted Funds on the same turn?
A. I do not know. What does FASA say for other locations about this.
