Hey,

There are literally hundreds of cards that should have play as in the REG and don't. The PTB simply don't have the time to go through and make all those changes. As a result, the cards that players have a hard time understanding as worded get the attention and get the play as while the ones that players generally figure out on their own don't. No one is having a hard time understanding how to play Kindness and Submissiveness of Mary, thus they haven't gotten play as, despite the fact that they should have it. It's not a perfect system, but it works, and for now, it's what we've got.

Tschow,

Tim "Sir Nobody" Maly

Provided I have the time and I am allowed, I'd love to help make those changes happen.

I already offered to help Mike make alterations, the end result of the conversation was that it's best all around to have one point of contact for everything going in and out of the REG.

...I dont know anyone who uses those cards currently anyway but I think it is way worse for the game to make Micah so OP (and inconsistent with his Special ability) and give Zimri and entire extra brigade of Options than to marginalize those few poorly worded limited edition cards...

i like how he uses the word OP there

perhaps for micah, but certainly not zimri...in fact, maybe more people would start using red brigade if he could discard a red or crimson enhancement

I suspect there are many players that share that sentiment, but Schaef accurately points out that everything that goes into the REG really needs to go through one person, that one person is Mike and he's a busy guy. Getting more people to help him results in people management he has to do which ends up creating even more work for him to do which is counter productive.

Ideally Cactus could employ someone to keep the reg updated, spearhead playtesting, and stuff, then there wouldn't be an issue of the individuals in charge being too busy, but that's not within Cactus' budget, and I imagine it never will be.

I fail to see how an REG that doesn't get updated but once in a blue moon is "better all around." There have been significant things from months and months ago that are still not legally the way the game is played.

There seems to be a gray area on the timeliness of REG updates.

. I think it'd be better for the game if the official rule GUIDE was actually... you know... updated when rulings were made, and kept clean and consistant.

In talking with Mike over the weekend I think what we are fortunate to have what we have.

Lamborghini_diablo · « **Reply #34 on:** June 08, 2009, 08:12:47 PM »

I never said what we have was bad... I'm just saying we could always try to make it better.

STAMP · « **Reply #35 on:** June 08, 2009, 08:13:28 PM »

If there's a silver lining, it's that we have great volunteers like Mike.

Using ellipses makes your statement sound bad to me. The previous statement also sounds negative in nature. Daniel's statement is pretty clearly saying that what we have isn't that great and your response was that you agree. Saying that you think the GUIDE should actually ... you know ... be updated suggests that the current is not updated when rulings are made and kept clean and consistent. I'm not seeing how that is saying that what we have isn't bad. It most certainly is not saying that it is good. If you thought that it was good or didn't need improvement then you would have had nothing to say.

I think the silver lining is that the PTB are working on giving us something better.

Their efforts were delayed by this little task called Thesaurus ex Preteritus.

And I certainly won't give them a black mark for that!

The other bump I was referring to.

Thank you. I was starting to feel a little blue that we hadn't heard anything.

I know that pale green and the green from the Limited set are the same thing and that crimson and the red from the Limited set are the same thing.

Is the Gold Evil brigade from the Limited set and the Orange brigade the same thing?

RedemptionAggie · « **Reply #41 on:** August 09, 2009, 07:58:49 PM »

No - Orange was introduced with Priests as a brigade for demons.

Matman · « **Reply #42 on:** August 09, 2009, 08:24:11 PM »

So there is a Gold brigade for heros and evil characters.

So why does the orange brigade have very little in the way of numbered enhancements for its characters?

crustpope · « **Reply #43 on:** August 09, 2009, 08:42:20 PM »

because it is new

Lamborghini_diablo · « **Reply #44 on:** August 09, 2009, 08:42:30 PM »

Personally I dont use enhancements for numbers like... ever.

You and RR don't count.
