Official Rules Question Thread

From the Jemison thread-- @jakodrako looks like Ancur and the official FAQ are in conflict over False Lead:

Jemison Astronautics - Agenda Rocket to Mars

Interesting, i’m seeing conflicting opinions. Ancur says “if they can’t lose two clicks, they lose no clicks.” The FAQ from last september says “False Lead cannot be forfeited unless the Runner can lose 2 clicks” So, I guess the official FAQ has it, once again due to the stupid rule that “stuff you know is definitely going to happen when you pay a cost that will affect the game state” doesn’t “affect the game state” the same way that resolving the printed effect does

The official FAQ seems pretty clear that the only situations where you can forfeit false lead (using its printed effect) are those in which the runner has >=2 clicks. So there is no valid case in which the ancur text (if the runner cannot lose 2 clicks, they lose no clicks) can be applied.
