(Message zen:72) Subj: [L5RINFO] Rules for 4 May 2000 From: Zen Faulkes <zfaulkes@PLANET.NET.AU> To: L5RINFO@ORACLE.WIZARDS.COM Date: Fri, 05 May 2000 22:09:00 +1000 X-Accept-Language: en -- /blue/homes/cowell/Mail/mhl.format -- Greetings, From: Bob Yager <bobyager@EASTPLAINS.NET> Subject: Rules Question: Elite Troops [ZEN] > Do Elite Spearmen and Elite Pikemen still provide force to the army > if their personality is bowed? Are they also immune to fear effects? No. No. ;;;;; From: "T. Vaughn Renner" <tvrenner@STUDENTS.WISC.EDU> Subject: Re: Interaction in Tournaments > I have yet to make, much less see, a Crab deck that, even in capable > hands, could have gotten into the finals of any large, competitive > tournament. Matthew Budd, playing Crab: top 4 in Australian Kotei. He very well could have made the finals. ;;;;; From: Jordan Murari <jordan.murari@HOMEDICS.COM> Subject: Re: Rules for 2 May 2000 > I would also like to point out that the Oz Kotei event had Zero > Phoenix entries. A better example of the Crane Shrine vs Phoenix > debate would have you look at the Hirariko tourney. No Crane / Phoenix comparisons were being made. The contention was only that decks with Shinsei's Shrine did, and still do, win (or finish in the finals) of large, competitive tournaments -- which the Australian Kotei was. ;;;; From: Todo YJA Monk <peoples_champ@HOTMAIL.COM> Subject: Re: just a bit of curiosity... > MRP is the devil. Then you'd better get used to cloven hooves. The "most recent printing" rule has been part of L5R since Emerald Edition. It's a little late to demonize it. ;;;;; From: Devin Precourt <naka_kuro@HOTMAIL.COM> Subject: Re: just a bit of curiosity... > Yeah, lets just let the Rules Junta Ban and break cards with > typographical errors. (seppun sensei, touching the void) What the heck izzat supposed ta mean? ;;;;; From: Curt Fiedler <curt@HAWAII.EDU> Subject: Isawa Sze - Jade Legal? > is Sze now Jade legal? Yes. Hida Tampako, too. So sayeth Andy Heckt. This is a REVERSAL of an earlier post from Andy. ;;;;; From: "Ian R. Ryan" <iryan@UPS.EDU> Subject: Re: Rules for 3 May 2000 >>> I don't have either card in front of me[...] >> >> This is *NOT* polite behaviour as far as the Deputy Rules Guy is >> concerned! I don't mind answering questions, but I *do* mind people >> not putting in a little effort. > > Zen, it was about 5 in the morning here, my lights were out and my > roommate was asleep. Normally, as in every other rules question I > have, I would have gotten the cards out and looked, but in this case I > felt justified in not. I commend your consideration of your roommate. Nevertheless, I would ask folks to wait for a chance to look at the cards / rules / FAQ / etc. before posting questions, please. ;;;;; From: Vaughn Derderian <jst1vaughn@HOME.COM> Subject: Re: Rules for 3 May 2000 > I would consider a big tournament to be anything passing the 64 player > mark, meaning something on the level of a large Kotei or a > Gencon/Origins type event. Australian Kotei: 34 players. Six rounds of Swiss, 8 player finals (3 games). Orion III: 80+ players. Five rounds of Swiss, 16 player finals (4 games). The winners of both tournaments played *exactly* the same number of games. It's also intriguing that the *biggest* L5R tournaments of the last two years (GenCon) were won by clans that were not favoured to win at the time (Crane at GenCon 98, Phoenix or Toturi's Army at GenCon '99). ;;;;; From: Chris Ostermann <OninoBob@AOL.COM> Subject: Re: Rules for 3 May 2000 > Is the Tomb of Iuchiban [missing the Shadowlands trait]?? Correct as printed. [Q: Can the +1F/+1C on a personality entering play from Plains Above Evil be increased by Shiryo no Tetsuya?] > But the Personality in question would essentially have +2/+2? No. +1F/+1C from the Plains. +1C from the Monk ancestor. Shiryo no Tetsuya would *NOT* increase the bonus from the region. ;;;;; From: Daniel <myrddyn@RIS.NET> Subject: Shield Wall (Attn. Zen) > How does Shield Wall interact with cards such as Kyujutsu and Arrows > from the Ranks? Kyujutsu beats the Shield Wall. Shield Wall prevents Arrows from the Ranks. > Does Arrows from the Ranks acutally "target" since there are no > alternatives? Yes. Arrows from the Ranks says, "...targeting the challenging Personality...". > Regarding the Temples of the Crow, if one activates the ability, and > then swaps Senseis, specifically Hantei, does the ability stop > working? The sensei's effect continues. > If not, can you use Forgotten Lesson and Amnesia to get around it? Yes. > how many times may a player react to one action[?] Until you run out; i.e., as many times as you have different actions printed on different cards. ;;;;; From: Davey Chacon <LOCO916@AOL.COM> Subject: Re: Doom of the Alliance > If I use Doom of the Alliance against a Fox Clan player; does that > mean that they no longer can pay reduced for their personalities, or > are their personalities reduced by 5 for being a fox card? "Yoritomo's Alliance players must pay full cost for Personalities with the Yoritomo's Alliance trait..." Doom of the Alliance thus negates Kyuden Kitsune's "extra" 2G discount for Fox clan personalities; you must always pay printed gold cost. ;;;;; The Shinsei's Shrines debate has been interesting in many respects. I'd just like to point out to all those people who are asking for errata / changes to Finding the Harmony, Rise from the Ashes, etc., that the Shinsei's Shrine thread is a great example of why you *don't* want to rush about making changes to cards. Problems often go away on their own. I can see it now. Next year, when Dave Williams asks, "What should we do about Finding the Harmony / Rise From the Ashes in Silver Edition?", there will be impassioned defenses about how the cards "aren't a problem," "aren't really all that good," "have so many things you can do against them," and "this deck type doesn't deserve to be crippled" and so should stay as they are... ;) Zen Faulkes! * Crab Clan Scholar * Deputy Rules Maestro **************************************************************************** The L5R Home Page: http://www.wizards.com/L5R To unsubscribe from this list send mail to listserv@oracle.wizards.com with the line 'SIGNOFF L5RInfo' as the body of the message.
