Consuming Fire
Type: Hero Enh. • Brigade: Silver • Ability: 1 / 1 • Class: Territory • Special Ability: Select an evil brigade (or two if you have a good Judge in play). Prevent special abilities on characters and weapons of selected brigades this turn. • Identifiers: None • Verse: Judges 6:21 •
Creeping Deceiver
Type: Evil Char. • Brigade: Crimson • Ability: 1 / 4 • Class: None • Special Ability: Protect up to 3 N.T. Lost Souls in Sites from rescue. May band to a heretic or N.T. female Evil Character. Cannot be negated by a character. • Identifiers: Generic NT Male Human • Verse: II Timothy 3:6-8 •
IF CF is played in Territory before Battle Phase, does it prevent CD's ability?
-
I have asked this question over pm. The Elders who responded, save one, said that consuming fire does not negate creeper because the only way to activate and enhancement is through a character. Since its activated through the character it is considered to be used by the character.
CD cannot be negated by a character. Enhancements only work with (or through) a character. So an enhancement used by a character will not be able to negate CD, whether it's territory class or otherwise.
I would most definitely say that it's still being used by the Hero. If you play a Capture via High Places on a Human EC, the Captured Hero still goes to Raider's Camp.
-
Do we have to accept their logic? What does Que say? :D
-
:scratch:
I must admit that I do not understand that ruling at all. Creeping Deceiver is being prevented by an enhancement ability, not a character ability.

I like your math. Now wait for it......

The Elders who responded, save one, ...
What did the dissenter have to say? I think all of them should be quoted, not just the ones you agree with. Also, is Polarius now an Elder? If he is, then that's great since he deserves it, but I did not hear about his induction.

So if I activate a red set-aside enhancement on a red hero, but set aside a green hero, which one (or do both) played the enhancement?

Is this really true?
-
Wait a minute, did you say those were PMs? They are dated from back in May.
I know that this a different can of worms, but having players use only PMs to gain Rulings that they intend to later use at tournaments is what causes major problems for the hosts of those tournaments. It is not fair to all the others players who were not aware of that ruling either.

The silence from the other side is deafening. Amen and Amen to YMT
-
... "silence" from the "other side"? O_o I'm not sure what you mean by other side, but it's been like... an hour since you posted this question. Actually allowing people time to respond might be a good idea. :P
As far as I know it's been routinely ruled that enhancements are used by characters, and thus enhancements cannot negate CD's ability.

Patience is my middle name. I wanna hear from that Fuzzy Face New Papa. ;D

Yes, resistance is futile, you will be assimilated :)

Pol is not yet an Elder, however he is a REP (Real Experienced Player) and is usually right on ruling questions. This is an example of that as he is correct that a EC who plays a capture card via High Places would still put them into Raider's Camp (if it were in play).

I agree with YMT. That is not the best way to get rulings. If you want to know a ruling on something, the best thing to do is to ask on the boards. I know that sacrifices some secrecy of totally broken combo ideas, but it is the fairest way to do things for hosts and other players.
As for the original question, CD falls into the same category as Thad regarding whether enhancements played count as part of the character or not. Therefore don't expect a definite ruling until we figure Thad out. However, at this point, it is looking like CD could NOT be negated by an enhancement played by a character.

Southeast Regionals in three days.... any hope of a decision before then?
-
That is a very weak response. No Ninja threats? Come on. Am I going to have to put a bounty out on you at Nats? You could have at leasted posted the lastest Ninja's picture holding a Creeping D.

I'm sure Mark must be talking about a definite ruling for how we will treat this next season. For SE Regionals, Nationals and any other tournaments this season, Rob has stated in our discussion about this topic that it will be ruled that protection from a character includes enhancements used by that character.
-
Oh, I see. I thought the whole "plays" thing was unresolved, and that only Thad protecting from numbers was official. At least I know how to rule for this weekend. Thanks.
-
I am sorry for the confusion. I went to pm because it is a more direct aproach, I had a good idea what the ruling was going to be, and I didn't want a certain player to know :-* Also I didn't want to walk into nationals with 15 creeper decks starring me down, its sort of a weapon of mass destruction that should be kept hush hush ;) But people are right in saying that, in general, pm rulings are not the best aproach.
-
So this means Creeper can't negate himself, correct?

I'm not 100% confident of that being the current ruling because when Rob made that statement, there were extenuating circumstances that indicated that it wasn't a final ruling. However, since that time Rob has also indicated that he was about to rule in that direction.
So if I were judging at SE Regionals, then I would rule that CD cannot be negated by enhancements. However, I'm am only 95% sure that will be the ruling at Nats, and I am only 85% sure that will be the ruling after Nats.

And I'm a monkey's fist, but why can he negate himself? Creepers aren't considered people? (characters)

He can't. I was trying to be clever, but I might have made it a bit confusing in my attempt. I said "I'm a frayed knot" in response to the question, which I interpreted as "Can CD negate himself?" However, if the question was interpreted "Is it correct that CD can't negate himself?" then my response of "I'm a frayed knot" would be wrong.
In case I'm still being confusing:
CD cannot be negated by character abilities or enhancement abilities, including ones used by himself. He can be negated by Iron Pan, but there's no card I can think of in the current game that can negate him.
-
In B4 Salad Fingers.
-
So, he could perhaps interrupt the battle and be returned to my hand without interrupting his protection?
-
Yup... Thanks for spilling my combo around.

I was clarifying because I did that earlier in the year and got ruled against.
-
To the best of my knowledge if you play Escape on CD his protection remains.
-
escape works. midianite attack is also another commonly used card with cd.
-
A lot of people seem to use Sites with CD too.

LOL. I wonder why......
I would think Torment would be helpful too.

Bah, Wolves in Sheeps Clothing is much better than torment.

I assumed that was already in the deck.
