Cool, thanks Zeb. I think the nature of debates can get heated, and i cannot speak for everyone involved, but i was never really angry or upset in the least.

From my perspective, i was never really disagreeing with coltsfan or thorgrim when they quoted the rules. The rulebook states in black and white that clues are only picked up in phase 2 and phase 5, whether i agree with it or not.

From the start i used words like "i think" or "in my opinion", and the only thing i was trying to dissect was kevins intent based on that original FaQ, as i felt kevin may have been adding a mini move phase in terms of monster combat when a card moves you, and i felt if it was his intent then that mini move phase might apply to clues.

Im happy that this discussion has accomplished something here. Since kevin has retracted that standing, i must now change my opinion and say if we do not allow monster combat from a card movement, then we should not allow clue pick ups, as thats only fair.

My opinion, if kevin does not allow monster combat in phase 3 from a card base move, then he will not allow clue pick ups either, although i will still post his reply when it comes in.

I still like the idea of clue pick ups from a card based move in phase 3 to be honest, so when i play i will probably just house rule it and play that way anyhow, and i am hoping kevin will allow clue pick ups in any phase so we can have it as an official rule.
