Hey, just asking the title question because it looks like it has been months since anyone official has answered questions posed in the rules forum. In the sticky post it says that they'll do mass responses once per week and other responses "as necessary" but it has been a *long* time since someone official has responded in there. Between the rules forum and the seemingly haphazard manner of the '22 update, I worry about the lack of attention actually being paid to the custodianship of the game.

I don't think CMON is paying the designers enough to take the time. I actually support that - I wouldn't want them doing work for free.

I mean, stewarding your game is part of the work that the company does. I don't care if it's the designers, specifically, but someone who actually knows how the rules of the game work and has access to the designers. They could take just a bit of time once per week to answer rules questions in an official capacity. Other game companies do the thing in various capacities on a regular basis, I would expect the same from CMON. I also would expect them to make it known if they *were* changing the policy, but I would then also expect them to *actually* update their FAQ and cards to correct problems.

My point is that it's CMON overall who bears the responsibility, not anyone community-facing.

*shrug* You say potato, I say whoever is responsible for answering rules questions and improving the language in the rulebook and on the cards.
