Hey folks,
This post will be your Rules for Wednesday, July 14, 2004
I'm hoping to see plenty of your folks down at the big cash tournament in New Jersey this weekend. You can come down and make fun of this awful haircut I got yesterday. My wife almost made me sleep on the couch. One of these days, I tell you, I'm going to shave my head and shine it.
Or you could ask me a billion questions about Jigoku Sensei. It probably won't be half as amusing as it was when I opened my inboxes this morning. I think I exhibited all the classic stages of progression through trauma in under half an hour.
Now that I'm slightly less prone to being a twitchy, gibbering wreck you'll probably just have to settle for playing in an awesome tournament and browsing through a fair-sized metro-area gaming convention. Poor you. ;-)

Senseis no longer fate cards?
Seeing the new Gozoku Sensei on the AEG-page, I wonder why there is no focus value on the card. My rulebook defines sensei as fate cards.
They are no longer Fate Cards. You manage them almost exactly like your Wind - picking one for the whole tournament, doesn't count against your deck minimums, and you reveal them at the same time too. They have their own abilities and do not copy those abilities onto your Stronghold.
Gozuku Sensei
I have a question about the Gokuzu Sensei: "You may not play this card if you have a Wind."
What if I have the new Scorpion stronghold and have two Winds?
If you have ANY Winds, you can't have Gozoku Sensei.
gold buys security
I've got a question about Gold Buys Security and Gozoku Sensei. When I'm using one of ratling strongholds I've got 1 starting honor lowered to 0 from sensei - so can I play GBS on every personality paying 0 gold?
Gold Buys Security says, "This card's Gold cost equals your starting Family Honor (minimum of 1) times the number of other Personalities targeted."
"(minimum of 1)" pretty much says it all right there, doesn't it? If your starting Family Honor is less than 1, you still get stuck with the minimum of 1.
OK, that looks like everything for Wednesday. If I missed your question, please repost it with the flag [RULES] as part of your clear and distinct subject line. I'll get back to you at the first opportunity.
