- ↑ Order of Sol Triggering Mid-Resolution RulingCan Order of Sol trigger in the middle of an event? An example would be if the runner had five credits and played Sure Gamble. To play the event the runner spends all of his five credits (dropping to zero) and then gains nine credits. If the runner had Order of Sol installed would he gain nine or ten credits?
Yes, the Order of Sol would resolve and give the Runner the tenth (really the ‘first’) credit. - ↑ Order of Sol Triggering on Install RulingIf the runner has exactly 2 credits, and hasn't been at 0 credits during the current turn and installs Order of Sol, does it immediately trigger and give the runner a credit? Is there a distinction between 'going to' 0 credits and 'having' 0 credits and when the latter stops being the "first time" for game purposes?
You would get the credit, since this is the first time you are at 0 credits for the turn. “Have” does imply an ongoing state (you remain in that state as long as you have 0 credits), so you could draw a distinction between “going to” as a one-time event. - ↑ All Costs Must Be Paid Simultaneously RulingIf Order of Sol triggers mid-Sure Gamble, can I use it to steal an NAPD with only 3c in my current pool on access?
No. You must pay all of the cost at once or not at all.
