Question about the wording on both of Tira's new Actions, "Jolly Side" and "Gloomy Side" Both cards have the static text

"After taking Vitality loss that lowers your vitality to 10 or less, discard this card from your character and then search all of your game zones for a copy of "instern name of other emotion here" and attach it to your character. If you cannot, you lose the game

So heres the question, does this only activate when you are currently above 10 and then drop to or blow 10? Or does it happen every time you lose life when you are at or below 10?

ie. Im at 12, I take 2 damage so the static activates. My opponent plays another attack and i take 3 damage... so do I switch them again?

heres pics of the cards for reference

Second question, are your hand and/or momentum game zones? so far I've hear both yes and no so I just wanted to check on this

If that is the case, this makes ME want to build Tira.

At first when I read them, I interpreted them like this: if you are already at 10 vitality or less, you can't be reduced to 10 vitality or less again, because not matter how much damage below 10 you take, you're alrerady at 10 vitality or less, therefore you're not reduced to 10 vitality or less.

So it would work once. Unless you gain life to above 10, then are reduced to 10 vitality or less again, but if you're already at 10 vitality or less, taking damage won't count because you're not reduced TO 10 vitality or less when you're already AT 10 vitality or less...

But even I confused myself with this explanation, so an explanation/stamp would be nice.

EDIT: What I'm trying to say is that "10 vitality or less" is a target range, and does not refer to a specific number. THERE, I un-confused myself.

And as for your second question, yes, momentum and hand are game zones. You won't lose the game as long as you pack one copy of each, at least. Unless your opponent plays an ability that doesn't allow you to remove cards from a zone, you have your one Jolly in that zone and the Gloomy in play, then reduces you to 10 or less. Unlikely, but hey.

Yes. 7 is less then 10. So after you take vitality loss, if it's 10 or less, switch them up.

Consulting the soon to be published Advanced Game Rules:

4. Zones of Play
A zone of play is an area where cards can be during a game. There are three in play zones in UFS: card pool, staging area, and momentum. There are five out of play zones in UFS: deck, hand, discard pile, transition, and removed from game.

bolded for emphasis - Yep they sure are!

Antigoth,

Any chance you could email the text version to me? (yanni DOT b DOT c AT gmail DOT com)

I'd have sent you a PM, but I couldn't figure out how to do it (I thought I heard it had been implemented).

I've been dying to see the new rules, and I've got one person who's said he'll come back to the game if the new rules are good, and I told him I'd have a copy at the pre-release... I'm not sure I'll ever be able to convince him to come back if I don't have a copy of the rules by then. ):

1) The version that I have is sans graphics. I'd rather wait until tomorrow and see if they can get the complete version posted, because I'd rather the player get to see the full document rather then something with a bunch of [insert Graphic Here] demarcations.

2) If it's not released tomorrow by E.O.B. I'll talk to the powers that be (tptb) <Hata> and see if he's cool with me sharing a PDF of the raw document.

When is your pre-release?

Saturday for Shadowar and Sunday for SCIV.

Thanks in advance either way Antigoth.
