Title: Can you take notes during a face to face game?
Post by: Daniel TS RED on September 10, 2010, 11:11:21 PM
Sometimes it's easy for me to forget pretty quickly.  I was wondering if you're allowed by tourny rules to take notes about the game during face to face games.  Like you can write down anything you want.  What is the rule, or is there not a rule?

there are a couple of rules that may pertain to this....
        no stalling
        can't check discard pile unless opponent agrees

Mr. Hiatus took notes during our Nats game but it didn't interfere much so I didn't care...it mostly likely will depend on your opponent.

So the rule is your opponent has to agree or you can't?  And if you took a note of each card you discard, you wouldn't have to look at the discard pile  ;).

You've basically got it. If your opponent says "no notes," you'll just have to remember.

Technically you cannot look at the discard pile unless you have a special ability that says you can.

Quote from: Rule Book
You may not look at cards in any draw pile or discard pile (other than the top card of the discard pile) unless a special ability on a card allows a player to search a deck.

By the letter of the law it doesn't really matter what your opponent says. :P

well, if you can take notes, then can u also have a card list of your deck.... cuz that would be sweet, but we better draw a line somewhere...

If some1 could "allow" you to take notes, then there's probably not a real rule about it right?

p.s. if every1 is allowed to take notes about the game, then it's fair to every1 imo.

this "can't check discard pile"
is this your discard pile, your opponents, or both?
