i am confused now.
does that mean, that i can cancel Lost at Sea with Great Ship. i cant do it immeditadly after it is played, but i can cancel the effect later (which is nice enough for the resource player)???

Yes.  Short-events cannot be cancelled before they resolve with Great Ship, however Lost at Sea has a continuing effect which can be targeted and cancelled with Great Ship.

first you said:

Konrad wrote:Because text of Great Ship does not contain clause that allows for canceling a declared effect before it resolve it cannot protect from short-events like Lost At Sea.

then you say:

tuk wrote:Great Ship/Leaflock/TomBo can not cancel anything in the same chain of effects.
But they can cancel on-going effects of short events resolved earlier.

i'm kinda dizzy...

P.S.: If this hole thing results that great ship can cancel an already resolved lost at sea, i'll have to ask wolfgang to forgive me about what happend in our nations cup game, sorry man, didn't know about this  :oops:

Some hazard short-events creates at it's resoulution result that cannot be interrupted or cancelled later.
Examples are:

returning to the site of origin,
discardning, tapping, wounding a card,
dice-rolling actions.

Such things are irreversible. Player can only later correct/heal  "damages" caused by them. In other words there is nothing to cancel after resolution of such actions.

Some other caues effects lasts by some time and disappears later (are reversible).
Short-event is discarded when resolved, but its continuing effect is still in play.
Examples are:

inabilities (of taking activity in site phase),
temporal penalties to some atribiutes,
effects that makes target company more vulnerable on certain attacks (e.g. Worm's Stench).

In other words "continuing effect" can be interrupted (cancelled) after discarding of cards that has create it.

Great  :) Ressurection of the costal decks.

please for the future - after an explanation of the problem - try to give a short and directly answer and if neccessary an also short argumentation, like this

Yes.  Short-events cannot be cancelled before they resolve with Great Ship, however Lost at Sea has a continuing effect which can be targeted and cancelled with Great Ship.

so we will not be confused und perhaps entered  the semis  8O

GREAT! got afraid during the discussion that my deck was ruined. But it seems like it still will work.
Halbarad hands off! go back and play with your ithil-stone thing!

Lets assume Wolfgang would have won 6:0. Flaneltina would still have more TP than Austria.
Luckily it didnt influence anything in the tournament as marcos is captain and automatically seated as Flaneltina`s no. 1 in finals.
The only thing happened is that Wolfgang probably didnt have much fun in his last game.  :?

probelm was, that two of our team have been playing with great ships (i gwanunig as well).
anyway, we were far from reaching the semis, so its okay.
