hi
first game of Contenders tonight, and we had a blast, even if we didn't make it to the end-game
the three of us played through Skype, using real card decks (we couldn't find anything practical to emulate cards online)
I'll post my the setting and PCs, the scenes, and my questions in seperate posts

OK, now, some rules questions...
1/ the char-gen rules aren't clear to me, as far as stats are concerned
do you start with 1 Contender Hope, 1 Connection Hope, 1 Pain, 1 Cash, 1 Rep, +1 bonus point?
or 1 Contender Hope, 0 Connection Hope, 1 Pain, 1 Cash, 1 Rep, +2 bonus points?
or something else?
2/ player A goes for a promotion scene
then player B threatens player A's connection
on his next turn, does player A do the fight scene that follows from the promotion, or the fight scene that follows from the treat?
3/ when you burn Hope during a fight, and you burn a connection's hope down to zero, do you lose that connection?

The game was fun
The last match was one hell of a fight, but at it was worth it. Now Hans's mother doesn't need to have her legs operated - he'll simply buy her a Rolls-Royce
Contenders is a cool game, although not having the book I've been somewhat confused by the differences between demo and full version.
I'd like to know if it's possible to take another PC's connection as a new connection for the character. If so, I wonder would it break something if I took Elsa as a new connection for Hans, with the ultimate hope in the lines of "I hope she'll give birth to her child". I'm not sure how the system would handle contradictory hopes/fears.
Also, I wonder about the purse spliting rules. It doesn't seem the purse needs to be split roughly equally, but with splits like 4/1 one can gain quite a lot of Cash (although there's some gamble to it). The whole negotiation thing during promotion scenes seems kind of fuzzy to me, too - are there some more concrete guidelines in the full version?
