This is a somewhat silly question, but I figured I would pose it here just in case I'm out to lunch on something.

One of the Title cards (High Commander of Something, I believe) has an ability that reads as follows:

"When resolving a Conquest Order, you may look at any Dragon Rune on the board."

In the esteemed opinion of the masses, does this mean:

A) whenever the player holding this title resolves a Conquest order, he may look at any rune of his choice

B) whenever ANY player resolves a Conquest order, the player holding this title may look at a rune of his choice

I think it would explicitly say "when any player resolves a conquest order" if it meant that. I believe most people have taken it to mean it works only when you are resolving a conquest order.

Okay, well at least I'm not the crazy one then. Thanks!

yeah but it says "you may" which is logically referring to the person in possession of the card. so i would say only the person with the title would get to look at the runes. it dosen't make any sense otherwise

Grammatically I would say the "you" is implied, "when (you) resolv(ing) a Conquest Order, YOU may..." So I agree...

Agreed. That part was never in question. It was more about "if I resolve a Conquest order, can he [the title holder] look at a rune?" So far all the responses seem to be supporting what I took for the obvious answer.

I throw my hat in with the others. The only subject of the sentence is the "you".

It's like saying to your kids "Before eating, you need to wash your hands." I don't think that means before your next door neighbor eats, you need to wash. The "you" is implied from the second part, when it's absent from the first.

That's a great example to support the cause, btw. I'll keep that one in mind in case the subject is raised again next time we play.
