Rules Q&A

• Q: in response to: viewtopic.php?p=1167640#p1167640 I'd just like to point out that this response makes it also seem like the second effect of Flow of the Elements would fail as well. Based upon the FAQ the enemy personality would still straighten.
  A: Noted!
  Clari-fizzled! Brook Cunningham, "Flow of the elements vs Mountainous Region", 6 Jan 2011
• Q: I think I know the answer, but I want to make sure:
  Plagued Terrain Battle: Give a -1C Plague token to each personality at the current battlefield without a Plague Token. After each time a Personality moves to this battlefield, give him a -1C Plague Token
  Question: I play this card at a Battlefield and everyone gets a token. My opponent moves one of his personalities home. I play Unpredictable Strategy or use Flow of the Elements to move him back in. The personality gets another Plague token correct? Or does having one already from the card prevent him getting another?
  My guess is he does get one, but it doesn't hurt to be sure.
  Thanks
  A: He gets another one. Nothing in the rules or card text stops a Personality having two Plague tokens. Alex Jones, "Plagued Terrain and Movement", 8 Nov 2010
