Hi all, my name is Ethan and I served on the Council of Elrond for the term that is now coming to a close. Please consider this my re-application thereof. I believe wholeheartedly in the role that the CoE fills for the worldwide playerbase of MeCCG, and although I know all too well that this work ca...

Council of Elrond Quarterly Meeting Agenda 2024Q4 Meeting November 4, 2024 Present: Ethan (DamienX207), Felipe (fisilva1), Kodi (kodi), Manuel (Manuel), Marc (Sarma72), Nico (Vastor Peredhil) Not present: Alvaro (Mordakai), Marcos (Marcos), Tom (rezwits) 1.

For the past two years (and even longer than that for me!), the Council of Elrond's Rules Committee has been working to compile a clear and precise MeCCG rulebook for CoE tournament play. I am both honored and humbled to present the “public beta” version of this very long work: http://www.councilofe...

I can say quite sincerely that nobody on the RC has an agenda when it comes to Strider. ICE's NetRep ruled it this way. We have found 0 evidence to overturn that, and 0 evidence has been provided to overturn it. Lobbing personal attacks is just so unnecessary and absurd and I personally find Theo's ...

Apologies - been cranking on rules stuff but will get back to the updated map ASAP!

Agreed that there are random little places where "simultaneous" versus "immediately after" is worth distinguishing, but yes, my point was merely in practice / generally there aren't a lot of places where that matters (but probably sometimes!). But yes, I think it's appropriate to...

Oh, I see. Apologies for my own parlance confusing you; I meant, "as the next thing that happens", if that makes more sense? My understanding is that generally it's not considered "simultaneous" as much as "immediately next", though I think in practice that distinction ...

That ... is an entirely different question. :lol: (and this is why I generally have been trying to focus my time on the full rules remaster project rather than addressing random Qs at this time - and I'm always happy to have volunteers to help with that btw! - but I was looking something up and stum...

I appreciate how well this single thread highlights the nuances of English and how multiple people can read the same ICE rulings and not interpret them the same way. :) My 2 cents: I don't believe the game rules generally make sense in the way that Zakath is describing. It's a lot to break down in t...

Apologies for the delay in getting this posted; just way too much going on in the real world these past few weeks, but hopefully calming down now!

I want to respect Manuel's request that we each just reply once, so I'm going to reply to Bandobras over PM (but just to quickly say, I think that MELE definition about active conditions is also deceptive; will discuss with him tho)

Thank you all for your input. Our goal as a Council is to rebuild trust with the community, and our intention with these changes was certainly not to break that trust but rather to internally organize our committee structures and get the Charter up to date with how we are operating in 2023. The Admi...

Thank you, all, for your interest in this topic. However, I want to emphasize that anyone disagreeing with something in these digest drafts is strongly encouraged to provide actual citations that prove your point and/or demonstrate why something in the digest is wrong, as merely saying "I *feel...
