Woah woah woah... The way I see it, Anti-social says that a card can't be sleazed using
the Social skill. Foxy Roxy doesn't use the social skill to sleaze the card, she uses her
card text. It like running against an Amazonian Hunt. Sure you can't sleaze awakened
creatures with your runners skills, but you can still use Sleeps and Invisibilities on
them.

It was written a long time ago that a text sleaze will always work, whether the alarm's
been triggered or a card says you can't sleaze a challange. It will be nice when Second
Run comes around and they change all those sleazes to trashes. That should solve a lot of
these questions.

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

p.s.: This, and a couple of other reasons, are why if I ran a tourny, I wouldn't allow
promo cards. Every single promo card is designed to give the owner a HUGE advantage and
leaves the door open for some sick sad explotations. Now, if they release the cards in
the Second Run set as actual cards that everyone can have, then that's great, but all the
poor people who are just now gettig into the game won't have the powerful cards like, say,
Foxy Roxy with a maglock passkey. But I digress...
