If I have 2 Sensei on a server can one Sensei add an end the run subroutine on another Sensei? I thought the text was just so you don't add the end the run subroutine to the currently encountered Sensei but it could apply to other Sensei down the line.
[subroutine] For the remainder of this run, each piece of ice encountered except Sensei gains "[subroutine] End the run" after all its other subroutines.
Yes, the second Sensei encountered will have an End the Run subroutine on it courtesy of the first Sensei.
I honestly can't agree with you on this radi…
"[subroutine] For the remainder of this run, each piece of ice encountered except Sensei gains "[subroutine] End the run" after all its other subroutines."
If you go by a purely grammatical interpretation of that card, the pronoun refers to all iterations of Sensei. I cannot even begin to claim insight as to whether that is the intednded interpretation, but I read the card as it stands as excluding Sensei from the benefit of Sensei's subroutine power.
If the intention was to make following Sensei ICE benefit from Sensei it could have simply read "each following piece of ice encountered" with no reference to Sensei.
Though now that I pay attention more closely, once Sensei has been encountered all previous ICE gain end run routines during the run as well… not sure that serves much of a purpose yet.

Rules, pag 21:
Self-referential Language
Unless otherwise noted, a card with text that refers to its own
card title only refers to itself and does not refer to other copies
of cards with that title.
A Sensei following another Sensei gains an ETR subroutine.
Excellent.
Thanks

If they hit a Cell Portal later on, it'll matter.

If they're not breaking the cell portal, isn't it ending the run anyway?

Exactly… unless for some reason the runner decided not to break the normal subroutine.
Well, yes. I don't know why the runner would break the ETR subroutine and not the other. Maybe they're trying to build a super powerful Snowball or something.

Technically speaking, if neither routine is broken then the first subroutine on Cell Portal Derezzes it and the second one never fires. Of course, the runner can just jack-out at that point.
