Otherworld Card Question

By Nameless1, in Arkham Horror Second Edition

Is it just meare words just dropping out of our posts?

Words were missing from Vylanis's post, I've had to edit at least three of my posts today, The Spaniard 's post about Dark Pharaoh was missing a few words...

What's going on here?

Edit: my submitted first line was:
Is it just me or are words just dropping out of our posts?

Yeah, I thought it was a slew of typos. But Spainaird's just seemed out of place as a Moderator!

(strangely enough, mine seem just fine! Yay me!)

The words I've seen disappear ALL OVER the place have been:

and
or
to

???

Anyway, I sent in a message about it. Here's hoping the forum feels better soon.

If an Otherworld Encounter tells you that you "Return to Arkham,"does not either return you to a specific location (i.e. not where your gate is)explicitly state you do not receive an Explored token, you receive an Explored tokencan try to close the gate next turn. So the answer is "yes" for both of them, though you're correct that you won't be able to try to close the gate until your next turn since Arkham Encounters is already over.

The phrase "stay here next turn" always means you are delayed .

I'm actually quite interested in Vylanis's reply above but it seems to be missing a few instances of "or" and "and"

Hope he doesn't mind repeating himself as for the life of me I can't parse this!

No problem. Yeah, a runaway SQL Injection filter on this site is mangling everyone's posts; I think they may have mod_security configured incorrectly. I wish you could edit posts. In any case, what I said was:

---

It seems that capitalizing And, Or, Not, Delete, Drop, etc. keeps them from being removed. Ironically, this means that the SQL Injection filter they're using mangles everyone's posts but would not actually prevent SQL Injection.

Thanks for that Vylanis. Makes sense now.

I'm really hoping that there's a revised FAQ in the upcoming releases - my head hurts! llorando.gif
