Watch out though when planning on only using challenges to stop an
opponent. I've seen to many bully decks with Wtd, Cermak, and Urban
Brawl as the only objectives, ones which change any challenge to a
fight..... Surprise, surprise, my opponent always cleave through
them.....

My favorite method makes use of a few underworld runners..... Jade to
keep a target runner turned, (4 of them can keep 4 runners turned......
for 1 Nuyen each) And in order to take care of those trolls.....
Loki.....3Y to inflick 3 points AP damage..... if you have 4 of them in
play..... your opponent is going to lose someoe every time.....

But, "How?" Yous ask, "Am I going to ensure they stay tirned?" Well,
our old Pal, Archie McDevim..... Rare Prime Runner 1st run..... He
seems to be easier to get than most other rares..... Pay 3Y to turn
target runner.....

Other methods..... arresting runners, while Lone Star lockup is in play,
then Cherry Bombing the LSL.....

Bullies tend to cost a lot, so snag a lot of their cash via Sticky
Fingers if you are so blessed to have a few copies.....


For further help, (Here's a shameless Plug) Read this months issue of
Scrye Magazine, there's a great article on this exact topic by Skuzzy N.
It covers all the Non-challenge ways, and adds a few methods to your
madness.......


Well..... there ya go...... Hope I earned my Brownie point now
Skuzzy.....
