If I don't see my name on the ITC ranking site, will my vote be counted?
EDIT: I did find my name in the 2015 rankings. Hopefully that means my vote would be counted?

Kudos on have an accompanying podcast fleshing out the Qs.

you might need a Google account, but they count all votes.

The wording looks really neutral, which is great! Hopefully prior listen to the podcast before voting to get more info, too.

I felt like the wording on the Warp Tunnel question leaves out important information, and biases the question a little.

They accompanied the questions with a podcast further clarifying the questions. So there werewell explained.

Results!

Interesting. Surprised by the walker ruling, though. Figured that one was an insta-yes.

Since the faq changes don't take effect until final nothing changes except a few space marine powers nerfed.
Phase form is now either or
Electrodisplacement now follows rules for deep strike
And geodisplacement is a no go but most tournaments weren't going to let you mess up thier tables/terrain regardless.

I like the results. It looks like the majority of the people don't want to play pure RAW but rather, a less crazy version of the game.

What was the reasoning behind the Walker question, anyway? Anything rules related or just looking to buff Walkers, who pale in comparison to MCs?

I wish I had known these were going to be the rules calls before registering for the ITC event at Gencon.

I want my money back. :(

Grav automatically immobilizes walkers even with a glance.
Basically buffs walkers

Um nothing changed
And the three space marine psychic power rules were already listed in the ITC faq as recommended changes. Actually they slightly unnerfed them from the recommendation.

And out of the 3 powers almost no one was going to use geodisplacement in a tournament with preset terrain regardless.
So what exactly is the shock?

Agh youre one of those people who is upset they can't first turn assault with electrodisplacement with your Superfriends. I'd say I think that power should allow units to switch into combat with another unit in combat since it does take a unit to charge, survive a turn, and be in range to switch. But the whole port across the board and charge without any hindrance or way to prevent charges is complete bullocks. The fact ITC makes it behave like deepstrike at least allows things like interceptor to work.

I think he was referring to the Corsair changes (Warp Tunnel and Reckless Abandon) rather than the marine changes.

BTW, Interceptor won't work against Electroshock just as it doesn't work against Gate. These "moves" are done in the Psychic Phase whereas Interceptor works at the end of the Movement phase.
