Subject: Fastjack's ability kills
Date: Tue, 26 May 1998 08:13:00 PDT
I was reading the latest Q&A and found out that Fastjack's ability works
against Closed System. I mean, Fastjack is a decker and his ability IMHO
is being used through the Matrix (plus, someone once told me it was like
a big Browse). I always thought that CS were created to stop deckers, in
any way. Does this also mean that if a challenge is Security Decker, I
don't get to have chance to trash this son of a b... ??

If the Q&A is right (and I hope not), what's the use to have Dodger
(beside not having both cards yet) ?? In SR, both runners are very
powerful deckers. Should one have an edge over the other (beside paying
for the ability) ??

One of my friend once have both Fastjack, Torgo, thrash and a couple
other runners on the table. It cost a lot, but the basics were there:
choose the order of the challenges, make a run. Second turn: add 2 more
nuyens to credstick, heal runners. Round three: add 2 more nuyens, pay
Fastjack's ability, make a run, and on and on and on !!!

Does anybody have any comment on this, besides the trio I mentionned ??
