Greetings,
Shame
Is Shame a Political action in Gold?
No (card text).
and will it be so or not in Diamond.
I'm not answering Diamond questions. Sorry.
Question on Diamond Edition booster packing?
Are there going to be any significant differences from Gold Edition in the way Diamond is packed?
When I talked to Mark Jelfo at GenCon, the answer was yes. The booster boxes were going to be slightly smaller, to bring the price of a box down to the same as a box of Magic: the Gathering.
Are the starter boxes just 10 starters, one of each faction?
Should be.
Also, will the box topper for Diamond be packed in the booster boxes or the starter boxes?
They've been in the boosters for a while, so I don't see why that should change.
while im thinking of it... (Ray/Dave)...
Whats the significance of the circular archway surrounding the personality in all the personality cards?
This is answered in the Gold Edition Encyclopedia. :) Get your copy today!
Can you target the province with a ranged attack that bows the card, yet use the other ability of the SH to not have to bow to produce that ranged attack?
A Province is not an opposing card (stronghold text). No.

If I play Fields Of The Glaurious Slaughter, would my opponents gain extra honor by destroying cards ?
Yes.
wouldn't the 'you' in the text of Fields only be the person that played it?
Whoops. Misunderstood the question. Sorry. The answer to the original question should have been, "No."
Speaking about errors, Vaughn said something the other day that wasn't correct. He made a comment that unit assignment in battle could be either ssequential or simultaneous. According to the archived rulings, assignment is always simultaneous.
