Oh...my...god.

As a newer player, trying to sift through a forum thread with twelve pages of arguing back and forth in order to find a ruling regarding a confusing piece makes me want to throw all of my pieces in the trash.

I understand that is part of what the forums are for, but after the specific threads are closed can something be done to consolidate them? Or expand the FAQ section to include the answers to the questions posed in those lengthy threads?

Maybe some of the answers do appear in the FAQ's, but many don't. I often am forced to turn to the forum section to get my answers, and it's a nightmare.

For example, it just took me twenty minutes to find an answer to a question regarding Bombastic Bag Man. 20 Minutes! It should have taken 1.

This website is terrific, and I couldn't play or enjoy clix without it, but damn, there's got to be a better way to get important game info out there.

Thoughts?

You tried the search function?

Unless you mean that within the threads themselves it takes you a while to find the answer?

If that's the case you might just have to sift through it. Sometimes it's good reading the arguments, it shows all the different perceptions of the ruling, and then it eventually gets narrowed down to the most common interpretation and correct one.

Did you try the Final word forum?

Yeah that's the entire purpose of the final word forum, to get the ultimate ruling of the discussions that you have to sift through. :)
