Hi

I am getting back into this game and trying to teach a few friends but have forgoten most of what i was tourt.

So i have a few questions if anyone can help me sort this and if i miss anything or miss spell anything you need to awanser the question i will finr it if i can.

1/ On the Ice Data Raven, Dose the runner get 1 Tag or end the run as soon as they encounter the ice or is that only if he fails to be the trace.

It looks to me that he could end up with 2 tags and then pass the ice.

Bbut my mate useing the schorched eath on me to kill me is not a happy feeling

2/ There is an Ice bracker (Crypsis I think) that says pay 1 click to add a counter toice

(use counter to brack Subs on Ice)

If i had say 4 counter on it can i use them to brack the sub on the ice with out needed to beat the Str of the Ice. or do i need to also beats it str even thow i am useing the counters.

3/ When the runner makes a run the Corp gets to rez card on remote servers not just Ice, can he res Agendas ? or is that only for assets like the minning corp and other such things.

4/ The corp has the option to do the pay 3 clicks to clear Virus Counters.

Dose this Wipe all of them off all card. (Mediume, Dataer Sucker, Paraisite and Crypsis)

Say they all had 4 on each and read to do a run on my next turn. the corp starts his turn and then spends all 3 click to wipe the VCs dose that remove them all.

Iif it is then i guess i should not of stacked them so much

OUCH

1) The initial effect on Data Raven happens immediately when you encounter it. It is not connected to the trace.

If the Corp wins the trace, Data Raven gets a power counter. The Corp can spend this counter at specific times each turn to tag the runner (look at the timing chart for when paid abilities can be used).

2) Any Icebreaker must be of at least equal strength to the ICE you wish to break with it. Crypsis clearly states what its virus counters are used for, but to summarise:

If you break any number of subroutines on a piece of ICE with Crypsis, remove a virus counter after the encounter. If there are no virus counters on Crypsis, trash Crypsis instead.

3) Agendas are never rezzed, and their abilities do not apply until scored by the corp player (unless the card specifies otherwise, as with Fetal AI).

4) If the corp spends three clicks to remove virus counters, it removes EVERY virus counter currently in play.

Thank you for the answers
