Hi guys! I was thinking of a funny deck to chill out with, which is a little meta influenced. The basic idea is Shalmath + Vaticination (I hope it's written like this) + Kiss of Lachesis = somebody will have an equipment you can get (meta). While I was thinking about the deck I got the idea that I could trade the information I get from Vaticination. Now comes the question: is it legal to deal with such information? Am I allowed to say: "hey I tell you what cards he has in his hand if you do xy..."? I would say yes, although I think it is highly unethical... Thanks in advance! Martin

Nor is it unethical/illegal to lie about what cards you see.

[ quoted text not captured ] Thank you for both, rule explanation and moral support. I will lie, bluff and sometimes tell the truth... :)

[ quoted text not captured ] Is it legal to look without seeing? For example, if I suspect a particular player would block my Vaticination rather than show their hand can I promise not to see what cards they have (by crossing my eyes, viewing them from a 1 degree angle, obscuring everything except the borders of the cards etc.) and keep that promise if the Vaticination resolves?

[ quoted text not captured ] Naturally, you can promise anything you like. And, yes, you are free to "look at" the player's hand in whatever hard- to-register way you like (such as looking into the player's eyes while you flash his hand of cards at your face). And you can sneak a peek for realsies, too. :-)

[ quoted text not captured ] I have another rule question which is not really related to the question above, but I don't want to open endless topics here. Let's suppose I played against player x in the first round. It's a small tournament, so I meet player x again in the third round or we both made it to the finals. Am I allowed to tell people what cards I have seen from player x in the earlier game? Let's suppose I have an Eidetic Memory and shortly before the end of round 1 I memorized players x ash heap. May I share this information with the other players in round 3?

Endless rules questions should beget endless topics opened, indeed. (Or at the very least, heavy use of "delete" with regards to quoted material). Having endless rules questions stuffed into a unrelated topic makes for more difficult reading, not easier reading. > Let's suppose I played against player x in the first round.

And free to lie about those cards (and even free to lie about seeing any of the cards at all). > Let's suppose I have an > Eidetic Memory and shortly before the end of round 1 I memorized > players x ash heap.

Having multiple topics with helpful names is actually a better way to use newsgroups. People can ignore or kill the threads they don't want to read. People can score up the threads they do want to read. Glancing down a list of subjects, they can see "LSJ: Shambling Horde life question" and "Tournament question: How to handle..." and "LSJ: Is card list for Blah Blah Blah up to date?" and so on. This is typically much easier for people to follow. -- James Coupe PGP Key: 0x5D623D5D YOU ARE IN ERROR.
