Dollars to donuts he’s asking about “its a trap”
Expose refers to the very specific effect of revealing a card because another card effect said to expose it (infiltration, silhouette, snitch). Rezzing the card, having it flipped while its in archives, or being accessed in hq / R&D do not count as exposing the card.
In the current meta, this card is trash, since no-one plays expose effects.
Just to be sure :
If I have Neutralize All Threats in play : Neutralize All Threats · NetrunnerDB and with my first click, I run Archives where there are plenty cards with trash cost. Will that access count as the first access for the Directive though I cannot trash cards in Archives ?
Yes that’s correct. “The first card with a trash cost you access” only refers to the first card with a trash cost you access no matter where you access it from. It can never refer to the second, third, hundredth card with a trash cost you access on a turn. It doesn’t say “the first card with a trash cost you can pay that you access each turn”, so this is a valid way to avoid that part of the card (just like accessing an operation in Archives wastes Kim’s ability or installing a card ignoring install costs wastes Kate’s ability).

Thank you very much.
Any news on a Chronos Protocol/Titanium Ribs ruling yet?
Also, I assume that if the first net damage dealt by Chronos Protocol deck is prevented via Feedback Filter/Net Shield/Monolith that subsequent net damage that turn will not trigger the Chronos Protocol ability (from the Net Shield/Tori Hanzo precedent)?

No ruling on Titanium Ribs yet.
However, Chronos says “the first net damage suffered”, so it specifically works around prevention and applies to the first damage the runner actually takes.

I would love to know if the outcome of this ruling causes anyone to run Titanium Ribs in their decks.

Protocol has officially piqued my interest.
I’m sure you’re aware, but for anyone else interested in the Drive By vs. Zaibatsu Loyalty inquiry: Lukas basically said “Good question, expect it in the next FAQ”.
Now we play the waiting game.
I wasn’t, but thanks for the update; I’m slipping from this netrunner thing. 
Not sure if I have time/effort/will to keep it going. Not sure what I’ll do instead. So, apologies for not even realizing that Lukas had replied to me.

That’s a shame. Unless you’ve got to turf your collection, you can always pick it back up!
I still have ticket to worlds. If the habit can survive my schedule the next month and I don’t have a miserable experience for going out of touch there’s a pretty good chance I get back into it, but just not sure atm.
Are you going to the King of Servers team tournament? Fun jank will be everywhere!
Yeah, planning on a sub par showing for that. Every time I get on OCTGN or play at LFGS I’m reminded how much catch up I have to do.
Two questions. First I should probably know this by now but can you have two unrezzed regions in a single server? Secondly, does the Corp have a window to rez things before a subroutine actually fires? The example here would be waiting for a runner to commit to letting an Ichi trace fire and then rezzing a Rutherford Grid.
No. Two regions rezzed or unrezzed cannot be placed in the same server. You can do that with unique cards like Caprice, but the “region” subtype is sort of like ultra-unique (analogous to consoles for the runner).
No. The last rez window with respect to an ICE interaction is the point at which the ICE is rezzed (if the ICE is already rezzed, then the time at which it would have been rezzed, i.e. just before encounter).

In videos I’ve seen of people playing Adam, it seems like they’re forced to trash cards if they have any way available to trash it, such as Scrubber recurring credits and Ghost Runner credits. Is this correct? Are you forced to use all means available (at the time of access) to trash a card, if able?
If you are able to, you have to. That means that you must spend the ghost runners, bad pub, net celebrity, etc.

Just wanted to confirm I understood the rule properly. Thanks!
