Really, I thought we had some new and very interesting arguments come up.

Why not just delete the messages with the subject Lord Torgo <whatever> in
the subject line? Then you don't have to be a part of the debate, unless
you want to be.

I thought the argument that _prompted_ the President/Ganger example was a
little out there, so we're even.

And keeping it simple is what I'm all about, remember, I'm trying to get
the uniform ruling here, my running mates are the ones trying to bulk up
the FAQ. :)

BTW, just curious, but was that directed at me?

If we're arguing entirely technical, why can't Torgo use LotP, but a
Ganger can go on the Initiation Objective? They're very similar rulings.
The best response I've gotten to this, is that the Objective makes gangers
as a by product, where LotP makes a ganger leader, then attaches the
experience token. Though, I see the point, I disagree with the
interpretation (of course), I see both of them as giving the abilities
equally, regardless of where the parenthesis are. If you have to pay
attention to where punctuation is on a card, then there's something wrong.
Additionally, I don't see the special text on an Objective as being a
by product of the reputation, it's equally important IMO.

And to think, I would have dropped the whole thing if it weren't for the
little rant by whoever.
