Re: Saruman's Machinery - playable vs may be played
Be strict or be not strict.
Strictly "One technology item" is playable and is playable during your site phase. Is not playable during M/H phase.
Or give up "playable", replace it with "may be played".

Or "site at which the ally is playable".

Re: Prowess of Age and The Tormented Earth (could vs would)
Die roll and its result do not exist at declaration. Choice made as part of main effect does not exist at declaration. Some actions are performed conditionally, some unconditionally. Some actions of Token of Goodwill are performed only if cc made by diplomat does not fail. The cc is declared, the la...

Re: Prowess of Age and The Tormented Earth (could vs would)
Offhand, since the choice cannot be made until the cards are actually drawn, you can't really declare "choose one" at all when declaring Eyes of Mandos. Offhand, you are right. I was wrong. You are not right here. Like in case of A Malady Without Healing - body check will not be performed...

Re: Ioreth And Well-Preserved
Healing: Moving a character at a Darkhaven from wounded to a tapped during his untap phase. Certain cards allow healing at other times, and some even to an untapped state. "during his untap phase" as though healing would not happen in other phase. Next sentence says that it is possible an...

Re: Imaginary Problem: Playing short-events for no effect
I think "yes". Beside reasons explained above: Playing a card is the process of bringing a card from your hand into play. You may not play a card which has no effect on the game. Causing a dice roll is considered to be having an effect on the game. There is a chance that something declared...

Re: Armory Hoard Bypass
And if Armory is in play with Crown of Flowers and will be discarded along with it, the minor items under Armory will remain in place. Not in play, because they are considered stored.

Re: Post/common effect - convention
I guess we can agree to disagree. I don't see any ambiguity, sorry. Sorry, but this tread is also read by other users. "this particular magic card could cause a corruption check only if played for alternative effect, but it is different than in case of other magic cards with alternative uses&q...

Re: Post/common effect - convention
And yes, as I think I've said before, 3 sentences in one paragraph in no way makes the 3rd dependent on the 2nd (without additional words or punctuation). Depending on convention, if used consistently. If convention would be used consistently and the convention would be "post/common effect is ...

Re: Post/common effect - convention
Children also break many grammar rules. "Some people" may include "some children". And in this respect, ICE were children when making a CCG. English is a mess of contradictions and exceptions anyway, and the necessary precision in both terminology *and* formatting is manifestly ...

Re: Post/common effect - convention
And since there is no break in Echoes, each sentence has to be treated as equal so the 3rd applies to both effects. Ech... then 3rd sentence is not treated in the same way as 1st and 2nd. Or 1st sentence belongs to primary effect, 2nd and 3rd sentence belong to alternative effect. Only obvious sepa...

Re: Post/common effect - convention
@ Konrad: The point is simply that the use of paragraphs is arbitrary. There is no reason to assume deliberate function in one instance of paragraphing when most if not all others show no sign of such. Do you agree that some cards with alternative uses have a sentence common to both alternative and...
