Actually Media Chick is a very broken card. You only need one in play
to use it. As it is right now if you have 10¥ in the bank you could
stick all 10 of it into 1 media chick and if you have a sucessful
shadowrun you could get another 100 rep from a single run.
Its not 10 rep for every media chick you pay. Its 10 rep for every 1
nuyen you pay a media chick - no limit. Now when it was supposed to be
errata'd for second run they were going to limit it to just 3 nuyen.
On a side note... media chick became one of the most powerful cards in
tourniments that were based on total rep earned... not just reaching the
50 rep or so needed to win.

I agree Don this card has been the issue of many heated arguements. I have
never used it because I tend to read a card and take it as literal....pay X
yen and gain +10 repso I've never seen the value of it other than a cheap way
to get an extra 10 rep... and I would question the ethics of some one pumping
this card especially in a tourney, this to me is reprehensible. I would not
allow such a thing in a game I was in or a tourney I was judging......and
there is always an Elven Hitman that could make sure you never use that Chick
anyway
