So, following this theory, if a team comprised of nothing but Gangers
takes the Initiation Objective, there's no effect because they're already
gangers?

Why can't you say the same for Torgo? Torgo starts out as the boss, but
the rest of the guys have their doubts about his toughness? Torgo gets
sick of the whole ordeal and starts demanding the respect he deserves
wich overwelms him with the backing and confidence of his men. As his
numbers grow, he gets more confident and tougher.

Why is it so bad to make Torgo Tougher? In a lot of the games that
I've played against big bully decks, I've seen players stack Stomper,
Skwraaaaaark!, and the rest of the bruisers with enough cards to make them
a walking killing maachine. These monsters can stomp through most
challenges by themself. They still aren't able to get by a Maglock
though. *shrug*

In SRTCG, I haven't seen a perfect combo. If someone finds one, let
me know, I want to exploit it. :P for every combo there's an equal and
opposite counter, no?

later...
