If I got it right _you_ do it like this:
First A mage with initiative 35 acts on 35, 25, 15, 5
Then a Decker acts on for example: 25, 15, 5
Last the dual being acts on, say: 15, 5
This is wrong.
The rules say that in the case of a _tie_ the astral action is carried out
first, then the matrix and last the physical.
This means that...
Mage on 35, Mage on 25, Decker on 25, Mage on 15, Decker on 15, Dual being
on 15,
Mage on 5, Decker on 5 and finally dual being on 5
...is the correct procedure.
Or maybe I misunderstood the way you are doing it :-)
Hope this helps.
