Give me a fucking break with this pointless drama.Įach clan is getting second role later on from Kotei Series and that role is made democratically by player vote:Įlemental Points will determine which additional elemental role a clan gains access to for use at two important events: the Winter Court World Championship, and an in-store event leading up to it. It was chosen because it was the best option. TLDR Seeker of Void was not chosen to screw over the Scorpion or save the game. There is no doubt that BHC is a strong card, but Seeker enables consistent options that no single Conflict card can do. When it became clear that Mark would once again be the person making the call for Scorpion, he consulted several people, the majority of whom were happy to stick with Seeker of Void, which we legitimately believe is the correct choice for Scorpion going forward.


Mark agreed that Brad's concerns were valid. Thus he entered Worlds as Scorpion, giving up his position as Dragon Hatamoto to do so. Obviously Backhanded Compliment was a card that made Keeper worth considering, but overall Mark and I (and others) still felt that Seeker of Void was the right call.īrad Emon really didn't want Scorpion to get Backhanded Compliment, as he felt it might damage the game. We thus chose Seeker of Air, so that Void would be available, but Air was still good enough that we were confident that we would be in a position to choose it at Worlds. When choosing the Role at Gencon Seeker of Void was the Role we intended for Scorpion to get at Worlds. As he was playing a deck I built, he allowed me to make the choice. Mark finished Top of Clan on the Friday of Gencon, earning the right to choose the Role we would play until Worlds. This is absolutely not the case- Mark has made several comments about it in various Facebook groups, and his mostly flavour one referring to that motive is the only one people have paid attention to. There are a lot of posts going around about how Mark Armitage, the man who chose the Scorpion Role at both Gencon and Worlds, specifically chose Seeker of Void to screw over the Scorpion by denying them Backhanded Compliment.
