I think one of us is misinterpreting the way Media Chick works.

Media Chick states: You must declare your intention touse Media
Chick before a shadowrun begins. 1¥: A successful shadowrun is worth +10
Reputation. If the shadowrun fails (the team pulls out or fails to take the
Objective) then you lose 10 Reputation from your total Reputation.

To me this states that for every 1¥ invested in Media Chick, the
Reputation award for completing the run is increased by +10 points, not
that an individual's Reptution is increased. For example, with 1¥ invested
a Milkrun would be worth 10+10= 20 Reputation points. Not 10 reptutation
points for Milkrun and 10 reputation points for the Media Chick. So a
player could not score of someone else's run. (Although the way it is
worded, you *can* lose on someone elses run <g>).

See why I'm having trouble answering your question :)?
