Hopefully I'll clear up the confusion as opposed to muddying the waters.

Jordan's understanding was also mine - set aside enhancements go to the set aside area until the set aside character(s) are returned, then the enhancement is discarded. That used to be the rule and it's still the way I play still it.

I was also a little confused how that was missing from the REG entry for Set Aside. I looked back and some discussions and found that the rule was removed/changed with the release of the online REG 2.0 a couple years ago. It was removed based on the fact that so many other card types now set other cards aside and we don't want Haman, the Shame Lost Soul, etc going to the set aside area with the cards they target.

So, the current rule is that set aside enhancements (or cards of any type) do not follow the card(s) they set aside to the set aside area. If any elders wish to change that I support reviving the private discussion found here.

I would disagree...

No surprise there. You usually do.

Not always And I just want to point to the REP and Elder posts in this thread that also show confusion I don't think this situation (turn vs round on cards) was ever hammered out to a final solution that was communicated to all players (though Prof's post shows there was probably still some confusion on that side, since this is an admittedly confusing topic).

I understand the way you are describing it, I do, but I am very concerned about cards that use turn to mean literal turns, or have been ruled as such, and how this ruling may not be applied universally.  For example, Besieging the City references "turn" but it specifically says "next turn" and not "their next turn" or "this round" or anything similar.  I have always seen it ruled that it only applies to the next turn to take place, regardless of whose turn it is, and that comes into play in multiplayer.

Can we get "turn" and "round" defined, not in terms of what they are, but what they mean on cards in general, so we don't have sporadic and spread out rulings?

Even though people are just now becoming aware of it, this is not a new change. It was made way back when the web based REG 2.0 was released. That was at least 2, maybe 3 years ago.

I somewhat expect(ed) some of the other elders to want to change this back to the old way, but so far none have.

I'm still setting the GE aside with them unless it's He Is Risen aside with them as a reminder unless my deck can take advantage of it. If someone rules lawyered me about this I'd quite frankly laugh.
