I Tried to Warn You

Does this card destroy bonus points related to solving the mission? Such as James T. Kirk’s special skill, AMS points, etc.

How about weapons discarded at Kressari Rendezvous? Those are mission points.

[AllenGould]

The text says "from solving that mission", so I'd argue that any and all points you gained that are tied to the act of solving would get hit.

I'm not sure Allen's interpretation is the best textual construction, but it certainly seems easiest to apply.

In any event, how I Tried To Warn You interacts with JTK, AMS, etc. seems genuinely ambiguous. We may need to issue a formal ruling for it.

I'm not sure Allen's interpretation is the best textual construction, but it certainly seems easiest to apply.

I'm partly basing it on when the card came out - it's not a PAQ card with the funky wordings, but DS9 - by that point we had multiple ways to score additional points when solving a mission, so the choice of words seems compelling (to me at least).

[Ashigaru]

Whereas my thought (bear in mind, I haven't played in a LONG LONG time) was that ITTWY took away the points from the MISSION, not from other sources that may have only procced off a mission. If I were to write down points every time I scored them and their source, this is what I would write.

+40 - Espionage Mission
+5 - James T. Kirk
+5 - Assign Mission Specialists

So I would have looked at it as only 40 points came from the mission, the other 10 are just bonus points. Because it does seem a little odd to me to say "Okay, I get 50 Mission points, but only 40 count towards the Intermix rule" instead of "40 Mission points, 10 bonus points."

Edit - was asking a friend who ALSO hasn't played in a long time, and he asked 'What about acquiring Ressikan Flute there? I only got it because I solved a mission, after all. Or what about Drought Tree?' as other anomalies if ITTWY hit all points that would not have been obtained but for solving that mission.

[AllenGould]

The wording is
"destroys any points already gained from solving that mission or completing an objective targeting that mission".

So solving the mission is a gimme.

AMS is "scores 5 points whenever they use their skill to meet a mission requirement". So you score the points when you solve the mission.

I wouldn't consider the Flute to count, because you earn the artifact when you solve - the points happen afterwards.

[Ashigaru]

I would say that AMS points are WHEN you solve the mission, but not FROM solving the mission - they come from the objective, not the mission. Simply stated, I think ITTWY looks at the source of the points.

[BCSWowbagger]

There's sense in that!
