You know, the more I read here, the less I like the term "corp war" to
describe the projected BitB events. It isn't a bloody war, there is no
Omega Order handed down. There's just a lot of sh*t that happens and one
mega is lost, three more are born. But it's not a true "corp war."

Exactly. While pounding runners with fireballs is often fun, it's also a
kick to pound them with PACs or even Doom-loaded Narcojets...
As an aside, here's a truely evil thing to do to a mage - set up an ambush,
with all the attackers packing Narcojets or some drug delivery device,
doesn't matter. Pack a mixed load of Stims (since stims can cause Magic
loss), Doom (permanent Attribute damage without extremely expensive genetic
therapy I think), Gamma-Anthrax (because it's nasty), Gamma-Scopolamine
(it'll make nearly anyone but a super troll helpless) and throw in some
good old fasioned poison just for fun. Even say, three people, if they can
fire three shots each, can do a seriously wicked number on anyone, but
especially a magician. Did that once...

Exactly. And as near as I can tell, that's the entire purpose.

You were going through withdrawal from RN?
