[Freemarket] X-Altar and the Arts of Memory and of Promotion
Erik Weissengruber:
No, if your Tech is tagged for the Experience at work in a particular challenge, you just use it at first.
So I have a weird "Neurowhip," Rated 3 and it is tagged Wetwork/Electrified Whip/Painful.
If I am in a Wetwork challenge I can Go For It 3 times with that device.
But if I have "Hand Blender" Rated 3 and it is tagged Cultivation/Portable food processor/Good for Smoothies, I can start burning it but it will give me a maximum of 3 cards, if I chuck them out 1 by 1 or divvy them up some other way.
I don't have the rules in front of me right now, but I could see some justification in the "Portable food processor" tag. So you can burn that tech in the current Wetwork challenge, but that just won't be as effective as using the correctly tagged experience.
Someone help me. Luke? Jared? I can't give any definitive answers 'cause I am still WAITING FOR MY COPY!

The challenge mechanics seemed simultaneously impenetrable and trivial to me. I had no idea what choices were available to me or what my odds were, but it appeared from the other players' input that there was almost always a "right" move to make.
Mechanical Choices
* My Strengths vs. My Initial Cards
- Let us say that I have pulled 2 Geneline cards for take action, and 1 Freemarket Card
- Let's also say I have a Geneline rating of 2 and a Relevant Experience of 3
This was assuming that you had paid one bug chip for the privilege of starting out with 3 cards.

Remember: burning deletes your opponent's points. It doesn't give you points.
You can burn anything in any challenge. You just have to justify it (to the group, btw... the superuser is a player in the game but everyone can weigh in). And like you said, in a relevant challenge you can go for it using tech (drawing from the tech deck).

Errrrp..
Right, a user makes a sacrifice from slow-accretion pools (Experience, Interface, etc.) in order to weaken the fast-accretion pool your opponent has accumulated (the points).
