Question...in an Open format of course...

If you clone the Whales, can they score multiple points now?

Thanks,

nah. Worth points effects are continuous ( meaning, they are constantly happening), which triggers the cumulative rule: two copies of the same card cannot have the same effect on the same target at the same time.

The effect is points, the target is you, and the time is the entire time the whales are on Earth.

Good, creative, 1E thinking, though!

Sounds like a whale of a good time, though.

Can I build a Colony of multiple Aamin Marritzas and then blow them all up and score points multiple times then?

Think the discussion is in an open format?

I would say that the Glossary in its ruling on "cumulative" that you cannot score points at multiple Colonys in one turn would also apply to cloned Aamins not being able to score points simultaneously as his skill is not cumulative.

I'm often wrong on rules matters though.

Also, they are Humpback Whales, you monster, which is the real reason this scheme doesn't work.

No, because they all die at the same time, and you can't score points off multiple copies of the same card at the same time.

P.S. It pleases me that the Chairman's job, under the Geppert Administration, involves a large amount of dropping into threads with puns. We should write that into the job description.

(There may be ways around this, but they involve forcing valid responses to personnel death during the Colony-destruction resolution step. Please do not do this, because it will make everyone's brain hurt, and might not work anyway. (Link) )

Also, any self-seeded (or opponent-seeded) kill-wall makes it trivial to march Aamins single-file into and score them separately.

I just had the stupidest idea for a deck.

I was so thinking of making the Whalers on the Moon reference, but thought it was too obscure and nerdy even for this place.

So what you're saying is if I can find a way to kill them off one at a time, I'm good?

Easy enough...self seed Horta and every turn they're on the planet and not in the Colony...
