I feel like I have given it it's due diligence by searching for well over an hour. Can someone please point me to the thread that specifically details what exactly SI is? As I understand at THIS point, having read umpteen threads, SI is always given to a player, regardless of what normal initiative is, when they will be losing due to removal only.
I had been playing that if your losing by removal and don't have standard ini, too bad, you lose. We are all hesitant to play big # characters, because Minnie Mouse can knock you out with a small */* removal enhancement.
