You might want to save yourself the hassle of using friend-of-a-friend,
paying the fee to use Elven Hitman, and then rolling to see if he *might*
die. Try adding some Even Stevens to your deck instead, and save yourself
the Nuyen.

As far as your question, I've never really thought about playing it that
way, but I've never seen anyone say that Elven suicide isn't possible, so
I'd have to agree with JD. I'd say have at it....

Back to my earlier comment, though. You might be better off to save your
Nuyen and use Even Steven, which I believe the cost is the cost of the
contact, and as E.H. is free, he dies for free.

Cheers,

Jon
