Title: Looking for definitions
Post by: sepjazzwarrior on April 08, 2012, 08:52:24 PM
Where is a good place to find definitions of cards in redemption, like the definition of judge, prophet, high priest, ect.  I've tried the REG but i cant seem to get it to work right now and when i have it isn't giving actual definitions, just lists of characters that fall into these categories

I'm not sure that we have specific definitions for identifiers. A lot of it is just taken on a case by case basis, and there are multiple identifiers that people argue characters should have, sometimes successfully (Alex argued for all Herods to have Roman status and succeeded).

I think there are definitions, actually. For example, I believe a Judge is anyone who led Israel during the period of time between the Exodus and the Monarchy.

Are there written definitions (either on the REG or elsewhere)? Obviously we have guidelines on what makes a card have X identifiers, but I've never seen anything official, just common sense kinds of rulings.

I know that official definitions exist, but idk if they're public record.

Hey,

A lot of the definitions are in the REG.  Priest, Prophet, Spiritual Gift, and Earthly Battle all have definitions preceding the lists in the Glossary of Terms of the REG.  Others like "judge" "high priest" and "Greek" don't have a definition.  Perhaps when we wrote those lists the definitions seemed obvious enough that it didn't need to be included or perhaps we just left them out.  It is definitely something we should add in future revisions.

Tschow,

Redemption.wikia.com usually has definitions too. I'm starting to go on there and updating it. But they do seem to have some good definitions that I haven't seen elsewhere.
