Technically, you can be at the site.
You need not control a Wizard with influence-he represents you, the player.
The game is flawed, but this does not mean it cannot be loved.

Old joke.
Your representative is not (necessarily) you.

I spent much to long once wondering about whether items are actually at the site they are stored at.

But he can be, for legal purposes. :)

To influence a faction, you must be at the site where the faction is playable.
I cannot take it literally without problems.
You are not at site.
It is a rules summary, not source.

Maybe not rules, but only rules summary, but still source (authorship of manual belongs to ICE).
So it should be correct. Is not.

This is a marvelous summary of the entire game.

Heh.

Right. I meant primary source.

"Should be" correct does not mean that a secondary source's claims take legal precedent over primary sources, precisely because it is "should be" and not "is."

So either the secondary source should be corrected or ignored (not quoted, not treated as argument).

Indeed. I did not mean with my quoting to indict you, but rather anyone treating a summary as a primary source.

In other news, technically you need to include all 175 Minas Morguls, 84 Dol Guldurs, 97 Carn Dums, and 89 Geann a-Lischs in your 500 card location deck.
1) Place your site cards in your location deck, including all of your Darkhaven cards.

You never know when you're going to have 175 different companies at Minas Morgul. :)

I‘dlike too see anyone having ten or more copies of the same haven in play, but anyway it’s technically thinkable...
