Watcher (Pa)
Type: Hero Char. • Brigade: Silver • Ability: 4 / 7 • Class: None • Special Ability: If an Evil Character was or is currently set-aside, shuffle that Evil Character back into Owner's draw pile. Discard the set-aside card. • Play As: If an Evil Character was or is currently set-aside, shuffle [return] that Evil Character into owner's deck. • Identifiers: Generic OT Male Angel, Prophet • Verse: Daniel 4:23 • Availability: Patriarchs booster packs (Uncommon)

Please post card abilities in future posts so everyone doesn't have to hunt it down.

Watcher doesn't discard, first of all. Assuming you meant "Can my Watcher shuffle more than one evil character?" I would assume yes. Any EC that meets the conditions would be shuffled, from my understanding of the ability.

I agree with joey. "An" is singular, and "shuffle [return]" is an instant ability. This is an instant ability with a singular target.

Maybe it's just me being picky about grammar again, but I still get the impression it's any that fit the condition. >_<

Rather, I think you are reading too much into it.... overthinking it, as it were.

That's entirely possible/plausible. People tell me I over-think things quite frequently.

That seems to be an epidemic in the Redemption circle. The average IQ of Redemption players is higher than the national norm.

As is Missouri's MAP scores. Or whatever they call it now. I took my SAT for the first time in January, and I scored higher than 78% of the NATION, but only 44% of the STATE.

I'm confused by your claim. Are you saying you scored higher than 78% of the nation on the SAT, but only higher than 44% of the state on the MAP? Or are you saying that your SAT score sheet gave you a breakdown of how you compared nationally and within the state?

If it is the former, then your comparison is invalid since the MAP and SAT are completely different tests with different standards, population, and scoring rubrics.

FYI, if you are planning on taking the SAT again, then make sure you study hard. Many colleges offer scholarships for people who score in the 80th percentile or higher.

I weep.
he is risen x5 would have been fun.

Mo's MAP scores was separate from my taking the SAT. I was saying that I scored higher on the SAT than 78% of the nation, but only 44% of the state.

What I am asking is whether your percentage in the state was given to you with your SAT score report.

There it tis, good sir.

There it is not. I am waiting for an actual statement that the SAT score report said 44% in Missouri. I was not aware that the SATs give you a state ranking. In fact, I am only aware that the SAT gives you a percentile score (which is national test takers for that year). What I think you are saying is that you scored in the 44th percentile for the MAP.

I wanted to confirm his claim. Your highlighted text does not answer my question. Although anything is possible, I find it extraordinarily unlikely that the average Missouri SAT tester scored considerably higher than the average national SAT test taker. If they did, then it is more likely that Missouri scores are tarnished, rather than Missouri test takers are better test-takers. Considering the size of the population for this statistical data, that kind of extreme gap is a significant anomaly that would raise red flags to any legitimate testing source.

So although they will be noticeably higher, I doubt it will be THAT HIGH.

That is my point. Speaking purely mathematically, the claim is not possible. Either Missouri's scores were significantly higher than every other state (which your research indicated they are not), or the number of test takers in Missouri represents the vast majority of test takers nationally (which is not likely, given the state's comparative population).

In order for that number split to be possible, it'd have to be significantly higher than every single state, not third place.
