Printed number is either "2" or "two", right?

Let me help lets you download three dilemmas with Shore Leave, right?

Thanks for any help.

Correct. 2 becomes 3, two becomes three, second becomes third, and [countdown:2] becomes [countdown:3].

The word "a" is not a number, so a requirement of "a male" does not become "two males." A requirement of "one male" becomes "two males." You didn't ask this, but it comes up routinely, including on Shore Leave.

Yes. Shore Leave's text when affected by Let Me Help is effectively:

"To get past requires a male and a female OR Honor + INTEGRITY>51. Opponent may then download and seed here up to three of the following (except Combo dilemmas): Female's Love Interest, Male's Love Interest, Parallel Romance, or Wind Dancer."

Yes, while Let Me Help is in play, cards are kept out of the public domain for 12 additional months.

Although it really messes up the set lists, what with cards suddenly sharing numbers.. :shifty:

KHAN: So he never told you how Admiral Kirk sent seventy of us into exile on this barren sand heap, with only the contents of these cargo bays to sustain us?

CHEKOV: You lie! On Ceti Alpha Five there was life, a fair chance!

KHAN: THIS IS CETI ALPHA FIVE!! Six months after we were left here, our opponent played Let Me Help. Because my beloved wife made our genetically-engineered survival a gender-related dilemma, the printed number changed us to Ceti Alpha Six, and everything was laid waste.

I just love the way this thread works and cannot wait until Let Me Help breaks some property logo based card.

Question 1: Do Roman numerals count as "numbers" for Let Me Help?

Regardless, I think it's only a matter of time before someone accidentally kills Reshape The Quadrant by changing it to only work with Deep Space Ten.. ;)

Fortunately for my sanity, after reading the actual card. I realized this is all just funny dream carding, as the actual card only applies to dilemmas

True, but it just takes one card to bridge that gap. (Say, something that downloads a DS9 dilemma that has the Magic Words.)
