And doesn't everyone spam as a nubzorz?

No, not everyone.  Check my history.....no spam.....ever. Every one of my posts contribute even though I'm still a noob.*

I challenge you to a match of QUICKSCOPING in Modern Warfare 2.

I think he was speaking out of frustration, and not from the brand of ill intent that warrants a response any harsher than my reply.  Plus this post is from like two or three days ago AND I believe he has removed it himself since then.

The best way to let something go is not to go back and drudge it up a few days later.  I think at this point everyone is at a point where they're content to just leave it be and move on.

Given that I don't think there have been any such cards printed in the last six or seven years, you can probably take that to the bank.

delete my significant post but leave stuff like this up? i dont get it.

I know I'm late to the party here but I'll give a shot at answering Schaef's question about what has gone unanswered.  It has been said here that those cards have no references and never have had them.  That may be what they want but that comes across as a rule change.  In the Reg update thread under Official Rules, it says

[quoteA few cards do not have verses printed on the text. The following texts have been given to them and will appear in the REG card descriptions:

•Mary's Prophetic Act - John 12:3
•A Child is Born - Luke 2:7
•Water to Wine - John 2:9
•Saul/Paul (as Saul) - Acts 8:3
•Saul/Paul (as Paul) - Acts 13:9
•King Solomon - I Kings 4:1][/quote] 
That certainly sounds like the cards now have official references.
I think there is another line about changing the verse on Seeker of the Lost.

Now I know they said that the verses were just suggestions, not errata and that they will change the Reg (someday) anyway but I hope you can see how this might be misleading.  Everything else I can find in that thread is not a suggestion but an official rule (though some of them have since been officialy changed).  I even thought I remembered some past thread about wanting to correct the past mistakes and have every card have an official reference.  So when I read this thread it came across as people that were not aware of the past ruling assuming that the cards don't have references and they would get rid of any indication otherwise.  So I think people might be frustrated that the rules seem to arbitrarily and randomly change.  It makes it difficult to enjoy working on complex strategies throughout the year if there is no assurance that your effort will matter. 

P.S.  if it really is considered too broken to allow Matthew to recur AoCP then they could simply change the AoCP reference to non-Matthew.  I'm pretty sure that there are plenty of good references for that card.  There are other cards that have different references on different versions.

P.S.S. you could also make a distinction between having a reference and having a reference printed on the card.

That certainly sounds like the cards now have official references.

Yes, but it has already been made clear that this is not the case, and it has even been said that they will be stricken from the REG if clarity on this point is more important than the educational inclusion of a reference.  It has also been said that these are not - ARE NOT - errata for the cards.

So no, this is NOT a question that has gone unanswered on this thread.  You just don't seem to care for the nature and timing of the answer.
