Using the FAQ as a bible?

Using the standard rule book as the trump bible to the FAQ?

The forum shouldn't be considered as an official source of answers, although it can be a useful guideline.

The rulebook and the FAQ are the official texts to be used when you have a dispute. And to be clear, the rulebook doesn't trump the FAQ, but rather the other way around.

That's what I thought about the FAQ being the real trump. Had a friend think otherwise.

Had a friend think otherwise.

Had? He's no longer your friend?

I'm not sure how anyone can think that. By it's very nature the FAQ had to trump the rules, since it's newer and deals with questions that the rule book doesn't cover.

If the rulebook trumped the FAQ then the FAQ wouldn't mean very much. The whole point of the FAQ it to say how the rulebook should be interpreted while it also introduces any changes made since the rulebook was first put out so long ago.

There is also a tournament rules document.

Since I don't see it mentioned a tournament should have an official Judge who gets the final ruling on any dispute. Often this may be the TO but not always. It could also be noted that while a tournament should have an official judge to settle disputes that person is still human and may sometimes make bad calls; hopefully this doesn't happen but if you have a current copy of the FAQ you may be able to help straighten that out.

One nerd leaves you mean. Unless that one nerd because a man after killing the other. It depends on how dark the scenario is.

Swords at dawn

flintlocks, loaded with an X-Wing mini of your choice, at 10 paces.

We roshambo for it. Luckily for me Empire always has initiative.

Nothing makes you man up like watching life drain from the eyes of your victim, knowing you've turned a living breathing thinking person into a hollow meat husk.

No one leaves the nerds are still arguing over who has initiative.

Does this mean:

"Two nerds equals one man?!?"

Lololol!

I'll take the Decimator, until the Raider comes out. Put gunpowder behind that and it has a much better penetration chance than most of the other minis. Not to mention a good point...

The TO invites the players involved in the dispute to sit opposite him at a table.

He then leans back casually while saying "I don't have the rules/Faq with me..." he then shoots one of them through the table from a concealed firing position (typically the one he believes is in the wrong).

Correct?.

Unless one of the players was using Han, because Han shoots first!

Here,

If it is in the FAQ, the FAQ decides the matter.

If not, the TO decides.

snake juggling. whoever dies first.

Oh come on guys dont joke,

It is obviously with a chancecube and if you dont have that you just mind trick your opponent.

1. FAQ

2. Rulebook

3. Chance cube. My opponent likes to call the color since I made the cube.

Oh that's easy: they ask me

(Or one of the others that are really buff with rules)

Some of us read the FAQ frequently, so we can easily quote it or reference to it if a player still has doubts.
