This is what I was trying to say in my original post, that Torgo already AS
a GL. In another post, Bradley Aaron Rebh said that this woud indicate you
couldn't send Gangers on Initiation. This is not what I said at all, in
fact, I think I suggested the same sulotion. Initiation would not effect
runners who are already Gangers. They would not become a Ganger - 2 or
anything like that. They have already been innitiated. Similarily, Torgo is
already a Ganger Leader. He has already received the benifits of this
transformation. I would say that you can play LotP on Torg, but it would
have no effect at all.

Besides, that whole thing got just a little silly. Confusing debates like
that are best settled in ways that avoid more powerfull combos than were
intended on the card's creation. I think that Cement Shoes are still a good
card, and the ruling of the DLOH's was fair and necesary.


P.S. Mothman, your server is overriding the reply field, that's why you got
this post twice, I sent it to you instead of the list by accident.
