Hey, folks! You may have been wondering what's been going on with the FAQs--well, I've decided to start taking advantage of the capabilities the new site has given us, especially the power and flexibility of wikis. Myself and others are currently in the process of transferring the information from the existing FAQ threads to the wiki for the Magic Rules Sages group; come on over and lend a hand! There's plenty of work to be done if we want to make this the best rules resource possible, and the more hands, the better!
And so people say to me, "How do I know if a word is real?" You know, anyone who's read a children's book knows that love makes things real. If you love a word, use it! That makes it real. Being in the dictionary is an artificial distinction; it doesn't make the word any more real than any other word. If you love a word, it becomes real.

Whew! At long last, I've finally gotten off my lazy butt to get the FAQs up to snuff again, formatting-wise. I've gone through this FAQ and updated all the formatting so that it should work again--it won't look exactly as it did before, due to a couple quirks of implementation in the new format, but there should no longer be any loose code hanging around where anyone can see. I also fixed several errors as I came across them in the course of my work. (Mainly phrases that hadn't been updated to use M10 terminology.)
Let me know if you spot anything I missed. I should be finishing up the other FAQs over the next several days, as well.

The Specific Cards and Keyword FAQs have been updated, and Intimidate has been added to the latter. As always, let me know if there's anything you think I've missed.

Your signature seems to be attempting to link to the FAQ and failing. Can you fix that, or do signatures not like tags?

Signatures don't like thread tags (or smilies) yet; apparently that's something they're working on, so in the meantime I'm keeping the sig as is...ostensibly so I don't lose the formatting, but really because I'm too lazy to bother changing it.

Yep; for a while, anyway. I'll probably rotate between this, Elder, Catalog, and maybe Breakthrough and a couple others if they catch my eye.

The Rules Primer has now been updated for Worldwake--not that it took a lot of effort.
