This is how I have always played it, but when Underworld came out, there
was one objective that made me re-think it. Nosferatu Den (?) causes
the runner team to trash a runner as the requirement. Obviously, if the
team loses everyone except one runner, then that runner will "not
continue on" at that point. In this case, it seems like an abuse of the
rule. The keyword "requirement" also implies that there is no backing
out of this. It must be done.
I have also seen the rule abused by a player who completed all the
challenges on Ragnarock (Bonus: 2 nuyen for each rocker). He defeated
all the challenges and then chose not to complete the objective so he
could take it on the next turn with a group of Rockers. (The reason he
did not send the rockers the first time was that the challenge would
killl two of them -- Ambushed on Route.)
What does everyone else think of this? The rules state that after each
challenge the player can decide to continue or pull out, but does that
work for Objectives -- especially those with no combat requirements?
