Council of Elrond

Proposed regulation:

"Player cannot opt to remove from game a card that represents a previously discarded in the same turn a site of origin of one of its companies."

I don't understand.

The cards are taken from the top of opponent's play deck. So how is a site of origin previously discarded in same turn on the top of the play deck?

Okay, I just read your other topic (Aware of Their Ways) and see your intent....

Player A exhausts his play deck and reshuffles, after which Player B plays Desire All for Thy Belly and chooses same site of origin (Wondrous Maps, etc.), after which Player A must return same company to site of origin. I wonder if this has ever happened in an actual game, haha!

My reply here would be the same as stated in the Aware of Their Ways topic... the necessity is dependent on interpretation of another rule and it should first be determined the result of that ballot item.

(Aside, assuming Option #2 of When a Company is At a Site were adopted, I still personally think I would rather not see this proposal pass. Why not let the hazard player decide the merits of playing Aware of Their Ways/Desire All for Thy Belly when it could potentially have such an effect, and if hazard player chooses to play one of these cards and chooses an available Wondrous Maps, etc. that was a company site of origin, then that company may not legally be returned to site of origin that turn and any such effect would fizzle.)

Who says? Sometimes it is bad company composition that forces a return to site of origin. Which disallowed state takes precedence?

Fair enough. Nonetheless, my thoughts are the same as posted in the Aware of Their Ways topic. The odds of this happening are so slim that I have a hard time thinking it is worth asking the community to vote on.

The proposal is not needed.

Nothing in the rules prevents the company from taking Wondrous Maps from the out-of-play pile in order to return to their site of origin. There is no requirement that the site must come from the discard pile or the location deck when being "returned to origin".
