The Runner makes a run, he does not break Chum, and encounters Data Raven, he takes the encounter effect on Data Raven and choose to jack out, does he take the 3 net damage?

Yes, he encountered it and didn't break the subroutines.

Sorry about the double post. But an addition to the above answer. Same applies to Femme, if you hit chum and then use her ability to bypass the next piece of ice after chum you still take 3 damage because the subroutines weren't broken.

That is also correct.

Any time the subroutine on Chum fires and there is a rezzed piece of ice behind it, there are only 5 ways to not take damage.

1: Jack out immediatly after encountering chum,

2: Break all of the routines on the next piece of ice encountered.

3: (VERY SITUATIONAL) The runner installs a parasite off of a Personal Workshop at 2.1 (durring APPROACH) that trashes the ice (but if there is another piece of ice encountered after that, Chum's routine will target it instead of the trashed piece of ice)

4: (VERY SITUATIONAL) Midori is installed and rezzed in the server and the corporation opts to swap the rezzed piece of ice being approached with one from HQ and then DOES NOT rez it.

5: (VERY SITUATIONAL) The next piece of ice is a Salvage, Tyrant, or Woodcutter with no advancement tokens on it.

That's it. (unless I missed something, feel free to correct me anyone)

Number 3 would make me giggle if I pulled that off. I can just imagine the rage on the corp player's face.

Yeah, personal workshop+parasite wrecks Chum +Chimera/whirlpool/data-mine/rototurret.

You'd need multiple strength reductions that work outside of encounters. Until Bishop comes out, it's not even possible, because Parasite can only come with 1 virus counter (with Grimoire). Ice Carver will not work, because it requires encountering the ICE.

Actually, as I stated before, the usage of the paid abilities window @ 2.1 to remove a parasite from personal workshop happens before encountered effects (happens during approach), so a rezzed strength 1 or 0 ice can definitely be trashed before chum raises the strength.

Oh right, Chum's bonus is on encounter, too. That's devious.
