They don't need to. I found it finally (well hidden) in the current REG:

• The Evil Character in The Darkness is not protected by Wall of Protection. It can be brought into battle by an opponent according to the special ability on The Darkness because the Evil Character is only revealed and not flipped over (put into play). The Evil Character is not protected unless the protect card specifically targets cards that are “face down”.

So, all along the key word was "reveal." WoP does not protect the EC in The Darkness because it is not in play. It is revealed, but not "played" (is that the right word?

) until it enters battle (as if from hand). By then, WoP can do nothing.

The REG is correct.

But the REG is in another persons territory (their server), and therefore it is illegal to band to it during this battle (argument), so that means YMT must be disqualified from this ruling tournament for cheating.

Also, that's the old REG. So what it says is irrelevant.

YourMathTeacher is correct.

I'm not completely sure if this is in relation to the above post, or the whole REG quote... but this thread was funny anyway!

again, I'd still argue that it cannot.

Well I think this is how it is, unitil the new REG comes out and changes this to the opposite.

it does make sense...

There is no old REG until it is replaced with a new one. It has not been replaced yet. What is posted is a draft put out for comment. We are still working on the replacement.

FWIW, I think the Professor was poking fun at me, not the REG.

I was actually going to reply and say this, but I wasn't going to bother looking it up in the REG I was just going to say it

The new REG will not change this ruling. I do have an idea for improving how we handle face down cards

but it won't be in the new REG and it wouldn't change this ruling anyway.

Tschow,

So say I am playing in a MP game, Can I use any opponents Character in the darkness, or does the owner have to initiate the placement.

STAMP · « **Reply #40 on:** March 03, 2010, 04:25:59 PM »

Well the REG is wrong, plain and simple. But it doesn't matter.

Wall of Protection
Type: Fortress • Brigade: Multicolor • Ability: None • Class: None • Special Ability: Place this site in your territory. No character in your territory may be brought into battle by an opponent. • Play As: Place this site in your territory. Characters in your territory are protected from being brought into battle by an opponent. • Identifiers: None • Verse: I Kings 9:15

If Lampstand can protect LoR (out of play), Wall can protect face-down (out of play) since it is in territory.

As much as I agree with STAMP, I want it ruled the other way beings my deck needs both Wall and Darkness. >:c

I thought the point was that the face-down card is not a "character," it is just a card.

If it's not a character how can it be banded into battle in the first place?

How can any card in my hand be banded into battle? The card "becomes" a character when it enters battle.

then how can cards in your draw pile be banded into battle? the card is a character. it's an identifier.

YourMathTeacher · « **Reply #46 on:** March 04, 2010, 04:53:51 PM »

I have not read the whole identifier/ability/abilifier thread and I'm not going to. Too many people are jumping off the deep end with whatever ruling was made. I think this is silly, so there is no need for me to respond. Until the new REG is released, I will rule by what the current REG says and my interpretations justify.

so you're ruling that some things in the identifier line can be negated? $:-\$

the old REG states that identifiers only tell what something IS. (i.e. male, king of judah... blah blah blah) and some fortresses have S.A. in the identifier line (like holds certain artifact), which are negated when cards such as Image of Jealousy are played.
