ITC Vote is Live

The rules body won't be able to do it either. So you're just in a silly race to keep something fixed for all of the 5 minutes it will take for the Internet to make the most WAAC list within the current ruleset whatever rules you make. Leaving it no more balanced than before I still believe it's fully reasonable to clear up ambiguous writing but again. Change the rules and it'll just be a different kind of broken.

Every competitive game has that, though. M:tG, Clix, the various anime card games: they all have additional rules that apply in tournaments, including banned and restricted lists, above and beyond the "rules as written."

Within those confines, do people make huge WAAC lists? Of course. But they're more reasonable than what the same shlubs would do with no restrictions.

Expecting everyone in a competitive setting (with money on the line) not to compete to the utmost, garnering every advantage they can, is more pie-in-the-sky than thinking an independent body can create some approximation of balance.

Supposing the FAQ get's a final revision in less than three months, a stretch I know but supposing, Would the entire second half of the poll be nullified in a reverse of the current nullification?

One assumes that once the finalized versions are in place they will apply, reversing ITC rulings if necessary (like Psychic Shriek, f'rex).
