Title: Typo's and Errors on Cards
Post by: Dario Dante on May 27, 2011, 12:56:18 PM
Fortify site has an error

It says

Take an Evil Caracter from your hand and place it face down on an occupied Site. A rescue attempt at that Site allows the character to band into battle.

It forgot the "h" in character!!!

Thanks,
   Dario

And Worse than the First says "seach" instead of "search". Mistakes happen, it's simple enough to figure out what the word was supposed to be. :)

Just means the playtesters should get more grammar freaks to proofread before sending to print. ;)

I'm pretty sure A Child is Born has a grammaristic error like" cannot not be negated".
                                                                 ^ yes i said grammaristic

If anyone finds an error on a card post it HERE!!! Here's another, Paladin the Fighter has a comma after Paladin so it looks like this...........

                                                               Paladin, the Fighter on the title!!!

That's not really an error per-se. It turns "the fighter" into an appositive rather than a title, but isn't incorrect.

Actually, don't.  This is the new card section.  If you wish to start a discussion, there are more appropriate places to do so.

EDIT: it's been moved, thanks Pol.  My favorite typo is Thad.

Thus if you do not have a card that can negate it, you lose.

Just in case somebody is confused, the "not" in ACiB is a typo, and it should read "Cannot be negated", and is played that way.

Oh so it can't be negated?? cause                              Can not be Negated -
                                                                                           not =                   
                                                                                    Can       be  Negated

Can I get the story on Brian Cooper? I've heard him mentioned but I still have no idea who he was.....
Title: Re: Did anyone ever notice........................
Post by: Master KChief on May 31, 2011, 07:40:44 PM
he was the first player banned from redemption. legend has it was because he threw a carrot at a bus full of nuns at 200? southwest regionals. the following year e & f decks were released with the coopersmith error, and some say it was because of brian cooper. he has since been reinstated to full playing privileges, however.

also, my avatar is a picture of him taken from the kansas city newspaper story some years ago that was an interview of him and his banning. you can find the full article on www.pitch.com (http://www.pitch.com).

Link to the story here (Warning: language):
http://www.pitch.com/2004-04-15/news/deck-for-brains/ (http://www.pitch.com/2004-04-15/news/deck-for-brains/)

The article doesn't seem to like Rob and Christians.  Is there more to the story?  I don't think a player would be banned for coming up with a good deck.

(also: JiP is epic?  How old is this?)
Title: Re: Did anyone ever notice........................

What's The Error??
Title: Re: Did anyone ever notice........................
Post by: Professoralstad on May 31, 2011, 08:56:56 PM
The Alexander in the Bible was a coppersmith. A coopersmith is not a profession. I suppose it could be a title for someone who makes barrels out of metal...

The typo was the special ability.
It was supposed to read: "If Thaddeus wins a battle, remove all of your cards in play and set-aside areas from the game regardless of protection (except Lost Souls.)

You were banned for saying, "Less than zero percent." You are now no longer allowed in any game venue that uses probability.

Post by: Bryon on August 11, 2011, 11:56:48 PM
For anyone wondering, there were at least 2 sheets of the 2012 set that were printed with the silver shifted down a few milimeters, so the silver ink that fills the icon box doesn't start until just below the numbers in the icon box, and then continues below it.  I only saw them on two sets of the silver cards from the Judges tin, but it is likely that the error infected the whole sheet, meaning that every silver card in the set would have that issue for as many sheets as were misprinted.

The vast majority of those cards that I saw were printed perfectly.  This could be a very, very rare error.  How common this is won't be known until Rob gets the whole shipment.
