Does that mean that, as none will enter into effect at that date, some will
enter before ? Or that we can make up lots of new rules changes until then
and un-rule them on October 09 ?

The 9/9/9 rulings will henceforth be known as the Zen Rulings, or the

A player asked LSJ: "Without words, without the wordless, will you
give me your errata?"

LSJ kept silence.

The player bowed and thanked LSJ, saying: "With your loving kindness
I have cleared away my delusions and entered the true path."

No. On October 9, all current card text, on all cards, expires, and
is replaced with the word "none".

... so at least cards that had been pointless and confusing will now
only be pointless ;)

Interesting and bold choice for errata: "suck it up"

I've got butter. Salt. Pan with oil....
Beautifully packed wood pile.

Anybody got a light?
Popcorn ain't gonna pop itself...

PS Nice (in the true and accurate sense of the word) rulings list.

I had read until this part, and wondered how good could be butter cooked in
oil...

Neither does the weasel.

Nice used to be a good band too.

Could someone please explain the meaning of an announcement of no errata
when - as far as I can see - no errata was expected? (Answers of "no"
count as "me, too" posts. But if that's where your sense of humor is at,
go to town.) I would have thought that such a communication would be
considered the default, prompting no post from our notably taciturn
netrep.

I think there was some feeling that LSJ would use 9-9-09 as a good
opportunity to issue contesting errata, and perhaps ban or nerf some
other cards that some folks may think are too good (Parity Shift,
Deflection, Una, maybe others - I don't know, I don't agree with them
anyway...). You know, sort of like the 7-7 rulings of lo these many
years ago.

Well who was smoking the "Maths Crack" then? I mean seriously, did he
make any 8-8-08 rulings of note? Should we expect some for 11-10-09?
What about next year? Will there be some in 06-08-10?, 08-09-10?
10-10-10? 12-11-10? Where will the madness end?!?!?!

Will he make important announcements on only those days that are
numerologically equivalent to the word "Squirrel"?
Should we expect that animal allies will get nerfed at the beginning
of the next PETA campaign?
Will announcements be made on International Pi Minute? (3/14 at
1:59)???

I'm telling you there is a giant space gopher conspiracy involving
Nokia phones, Fox News and Bhuddism! Draw the dots people, you'll see
I'm right!

Relax, the 9/9 "no errata" doesn't go into effect until 10/9. You've
still got time to prepare.
