Subject: [HUMOR] Date: Thu, 20 Aug 1998 02:05:11 PDT From: "Elmer Kendall" To: fkusumot@ix.netcom.com OFFICIAL "UNGLUED" RULES PRONOUNCEMENTS OF THE CHEESEDIP CARTEL compiled by Elmer K. The following rulings and errata are effective at all Magic tournaments, sanctioned and otherwise, as of September 1, 1998. Ashnod's Coupon: As errata, costs of target drink must be *public information*. This corrects a loophole which allowed a player to force his opponent to get him a previously owned drink from a neighboring table. Target drink must be available within a hour's distance by chicken from activating player's location. Bureaucracy: Ignore clause "...without jeopardizing the health and security of said PLAYER." This text inadvertently allowed any death threat from an opponent to render Bureaucracy useless. Cardboard Carapace: While this card is in effect, one must continuously reveal all cards with him or her which are not in play or in his or her graveyard, hand, or library. To prevent under-counting, one may be required to submit to a search of belongings, clothing, and/or body orifices at the discretion of the Head Judge. Censorship: This enchantment triggers whenever the chosen [CENSORED] word is pronounced in any language. Failure to recognize that a word has been pronounced in a non-English language may be construed as a Declaration of Forfeiture at the discretion of the [CENSORED] Head Judge. Chaos Confetti: If this card is in a sleeve at the beginning of a duel, it must remain in such condition while activated. As errata, this card is Rare. Common Courtesy: Note that this card affects all players, not just opponents of its controller. "Double" cards: The Statute of Limitations may apply to these spells in accord with the law of the state or province in which one plays. Moreover, outstanding Double spells are not triggered by play in sanctioned tournaments. This corrects a loophole which caused "name" players to be mobbed (to death in one case) at Unglued events. Handcuffs: This card triggers immediately against a one-handed player. I'm Rubber, You're Glue: A word may not be rhymed with itself. That's just bad style. Mirror Mirror: Resultant to a well-publicized incident of cheating at a Pro Tour event, this card now reads "...and all cards in your hand, library, graveyard, and lap..." Once More with Feeling: This card is hereby unrestricted in Classic/Unglued tournaments. It will remain banned in Classic-Restricted/Unglued tournaments. Prismatic Wardrobe: Only externally visible garments are subsumed by "clothing" as referred to by this card. Externalization of garments may be played as a fast effect. Sex Appeal: If a player's sex cannot be determined, flip a coin. The result applies to all future ambiguities. Players failing to conform to these rulings will be given a pat on the back and burned at the stake in alternation.
