Lone Star Lock Up has its ups and downs. We'll start with teh down. Since the runner
only costs the person 3 nuyen to get out of jail and put directly in play, it actually
saves your opponents a lot of nuyen in the long run.

On the up side, it takes a runner and a roll for him to get the runner out of the LSLU,
and with your Lone Star Seargent you can help decide if he gets it or not by modifying his
roll.

The best combos I've seen with Lone Star lockup so far are: LSLU with a Lone Star
Survielence on top. When they come to get their friends out, they have a 50/50 chance
(assuming you have at least 1 seargent) of getting arrested also. Second, LSLU with
Cherry Bombs. It's a really expensive way to go about it, but you can star the runners up
in the LSLU and then blow it, trashing all the runners inside.

On top of this, I have a question...

If you use handcuffs on a runner with Wanted! on him, do you still get the rep? I
wouldn't think so, but I have to ask. It would ake my Lone Star/Rigger deck a bit more
threatening.

That's just my opinion, I could be wrong...
