The rest of you should, too. -chelle ================================================= From: Andrew Heckt Regardless, all of you and us have decided that Jeff *is* the *final* authority.If you are going to disagree with the recognized final authority on matter, do not ask for official answers.The *only* person who can change Jeff's ruling is Dave - Jeff is the only person Dave will let change his rulings.We've all agreed to that *long* ago.

Rules Q If your name is not Dave or Jeff and if you are not an employee of WOTC... please for the love of God, DO NOT!!!! respond to this, there are enough post about peoples opinions already, thank you.

But, as I added before the part I quoted from Jeff, Tamori's controller had a Fortress of the Dragonfly in play, boosting it to 1F/3C.Besides, we're nit-picking.Without the Fortress Tamori becomes a 5F/-2C dead guy anyway.Kitsu Shigeru Lion Clan Filker * Experienced ------------------------------ Date:

Jeff!

Generally Jeff's rulings are like this >> occasionally they are not. >Well, no one got uptight when Jeff did the exact same thing with Touching the >Void last expansion.Same sort of situation, same type of ruling made.Much >less reaction.If you accept it the first time, it's a lot easier to try and >slip it by the second and third times.Ummm..I did.I get concerned every single time I see a "ruling" made in flagrant violation of the card text and the rulebook text.Touching the Void cannot be solved by a "ruling", it required "errata".It still annoys me INTENSELY that Jeff has put neither Touching the Void nor Flattery in the "Text Change and Errata" list despite the fact that there are rulings on those cards that clearly violate the text of the cards. (Flattery's is "You must discard either enough total focus to end the battle or your entire hand. [DW, personal correspondence, 10/22/98]").The reason that I did not pursue the Touching the Void situation as heavily as have some others, is I fully believe that Touching the Void would be abusive without the "ruling" that should be errata.I mentioned it once, but I only make a BIG stink about the rulings that are in direct conflict with the card wording, AND that I feel are either unnecessary or counterproductive when compared to the actual ruling that would be made by an educated individual reading the card and interpreting it via the rulebook and past precedent. (ex Hida Amoro and Kage/Ratling Sensei). +--Shinjo Ryuteki-- Unicorn Clan Champion * Crabby Crab Clan Iaijutsu Master * "Your Clan" Ratling Hunter * Woolly Maggot Clan Instigator ------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------- "Eagles may soar, but weasels don't get sucked into jet engines!"

Send your e-mail privately to Dave and/or Jeff then.

Remember, Jeff's a rules lawyer, too.He's just one of the good guys. > Thanks for your insights and inspiration Vaughn.Ack!

" and ". It still annoys me INTENSELY that Jeff has put neither Touching the Void nor Flattery in the "Text Change and Errata" list despite the fact that there are rulings on those cards that clearly violate the text of the cards.
