I was wondering who are consider'd Elders and PTB(powers that be)? Is there an official list of those are in authority to call shots and decide how things are done and how things are ruled. Also what is the rule if 2 Elders say one thing and 2 Elders say something else. Is there someone that makes the call over them and do some Elders have more "weight" or authority than others? Thanks for the answers.

Daniel

Theres a list somewhere. I'm too lazy to look for it. There are 14 Elders total I think (not sure of ptb), the ones I know off the top of my head are:

-Gabe Isbell
-Tim Maly
-Chris Bany
-Justin Alstad
-Jordan Alstad
-Mark Underwood
-Rob Anderson
-Mike Berkenpas
-Steven Schaefer
-Kevin Shride

If 2 say one thing and 2 say another, its up to the tournament host to decide (or ROOT management if its ROOT. An agreement between players if it isn't ROOT or a tournament). Some elders *cough cough Rob cough cough* will obviously have more authority, but really thats up to your discretion.

It takes a plurality of elders saying something to make it official (i.e. on a disputed ruling thread, it takes more than one elder saying something to make it official). There is no hierarchy in word, but in deed some elders are more reliable than others. Rob is the only person who is above the elders.

Alrighty, thanks guys. So I guess someone comes up with a rule'n question. 1 Elder says this is the answer. Another Elder agrees. So until some other elder chimes in, that is an offical final rule'n right?

Daniel

p.s. Also I don't need AP Poll on the top ten elders haha, I was just wanting to see if others had more "pull". So I guess they're all equal except for Rob, but some can be more consistent in their decisions.

That's correct.

All Deadly, if spotted, do not approach, call the nearest local gameshop immediately.

I said that that he is like half an elder, or the equivalent of of half an elder. So if he were to clone himself and both clones agree, it would be taken as word of an elder. Not he is half-elder.

If someone's half-elder and half-newborn, does that mean they're a grad student?

but there would also be two halves that completely dont matter at all, so it would cancel the other two halves out.

You don't realize how much of a pain in the butt Colin was.

You're right. MKC didn't deserve a -1 since he said colon rather than Colin. I got MKC's post back to zero. Thank you for pointing that out.

speaking of Colin and the +-1 system, he was most respected when that stat died.
