Are you sure they weren't the tally tables for those hosts
simply describing what programs would activate depending on
the decker's tally at the time? Or did it specifically
state that the decker's tally started over at zero when
entering that host?

Also, in VR2.0 under security tally the first sentance says
that the tally does not carry over. Then in the following
example the tally does carry over. So I can see where
confusion could occur on that point. I'm not an easy GM so
I'm going with the rules as stated in the example and carry
the tally over to any host within the same RTG.

Gonna use that Icon <evil grin>
