- ↑ Double False Lead RulingI have a question regarding False Lead: Can I forfeit 2 False Leads during 1.1 to force the Runner lose 4 clicks? My argument here is that since the Runner "gains" his/her click during 1.2, there is no click to lose during 1.1. Is it the case? Or does the Runner actually "gain" his click immediately when it's his turn?
Yes, you can forfeit two False Leads to force the Runner to lose 4 clicks at 1.1. The Runner has 4 clicks available during his or her Action phase. - ↑ Double False Lead Clarification RulingThe latest FAQ states (page 7): "The Corp can forfeit 2 copies of False Lead at 1.1 to force the
Runner to lose 4 clicks. The turn immediately advances to the Runner's discard phase."
Does this mean that a Runner with Rachel Beckman and/or Joshua B is unable to use those abilities after the double False Lead?
If the Runner has a Rachel Beckman installed then he or she still has 1 more click, so the phase isn’t skipped. 1.1 is before “when your turn begins” abilities resolve, so it would stop someone from using Joshua B.
