Rules Q&A
- Q: Regarding the question on Shisa Infestation answered here:
Why is this the case? Shisa Infestation creates an effect "that affect[s] all things of a certain kind" with a specified duration (permanent), and so would appear to be considered an ongoing effect. Ongoing effects modifying the strength of all provinces are inherited by newly-created provinces. If Shisa Infestation is not an ongoing effect, or is not inherited by newly-created provinces, how does it differ from the examples given in this ruling and corresponding rules update?
A: The reason is, I was without a computer during the months of May when this ruling was changed, and so missed this alteration.
You'll notice, I answered it consistently with Zen's first answer in your linked counter-example, before he took it to discussion and it was ultimately changed. But thanks for bringing it to my attention! I'll alter my first response in this thread. Brook Cunningham, "Shisha Infestation and gaining provinces", 14 Oct 2011
