Goodness, this thread again...

Okay, from what I understand "your opponent's" has the same qualifiers as "your", which requires both ownership and control.  In the case of TToD, no, brigades on cards that your opponent either doesn't own or doesn't control don't count.  If the card read "number of evil brigades in your opponent's territory", then that would work, because the cards would meet the qualification.  But in the case of something like SWS, the player does not own the card, so it is not "your opponent's".

That make sense?

Alright cool. Thanks.

How many times has this been asked?

I've just recently been back on the boards and I figured just posting it and getting a quick answer such as I did would be easier than searching high and low for a similar question.

You had no way of knowing this was a FAQ (unless it's in the FAQ thread in which case asking is terrible and you should feel terrible), so the hostility isn't directed at you.

No hostility at all towards any person, sorry if it did come off that way   Hostility though towards...

There's a growing sentiment of dissatisfaction over the lack of distinction between temporary and permenant control and the ensuing and confusing use of ownership as part of the requirements for "your."

This, this, this.  A lot of things involved there are silly and result in a lack of rulings, and we don't get clear answers a lot of the time.  Also, hostility towards...

getting a quick answer such as I did would be easier than searching high and low for a similar question.

This, this, this.  Not because you wanted a quick answer, but because the Search function is still not working on the forums or the REG and it leads to a lot of duplicate threads.

TO BE CLEAR:  This is NOT the fault of newer users like yourself.  It is just a growing angst we've been dealing with

With or without the search option, there's nothing wrong with asking a question that we can answer quickly, so ask away!
