Bruce Banner walks in to the phone booth to make a call. He place his quarter in the slot. "clunk" That hollow sound that says "I just ate your quarter" Sighing, Bruce digs out his change. Only one quarter left. He slips it in there and dials his number... or so he thinks. A strange male voice answers "Hello?". Bruce ask "Is Betty there?" The strange voice says "Yeah, she's busy at the moment, her mouth is full". The jerk hangs up laughing. Enraged at the though of Betty with another man and the way he has been treated, Bruce unleashed the beast...
This made me laugh because I have a vivid memory of the old Incredible Hulk TV show where David Banner was assisting some damsel in distress (as usual) and she was in mortal danger.
David goes over to a phone booth to dial 911 and only reaches the operator who won't connect the call untill he deposits a quarter for the first 3 minutes.
David gets very angry, and turns to the camera with those gamma green eyes and says "I don't have a Quarter!!!!"... and Hulks out.
I nearly wet myself laughing when I saw it the first time.
When has there ever been any kind of action you can take in this game without assigning it to a character?
The only one I can think of is the laser turret, which states "give this object a free action."
It's pretty clear to me that, "A character occupying the same square as this object can be dealt 1 pushing damage as a free action." means you are giving a free action to the character.
By your read, players could just take free actions without anyone or anything actually taking them.
Clearly you understand what the card is intended to do. But I do not see this loophole you speak of.
Good Point but since this game is always having things like this happen. I had read the card and from my understanding assumed it meant that once on your turn you could deal pushing damage to your clix.
I had not given any thought that it does not say you are limited to once your turn so the idea of being able to use it to get my clix to its sweet spot actually is valid and not "cheating" if someone did it . Now it is cheap .
But by the same logic of being able to deal damage to your clix inside the booth indefinately it does not say the character occupying the booth has to be yours.
It could be argued that it states as a free action and it does not specify that the character has to be yours.
Also I mainly posted this to show that if your opponent wants to be cheap and multi-click the piece in the phone book ...by that same "loophole" I should be able to deal clicks to it also to kill it as the card doesnt specify that I had to be the owner.
Basically superman is changing inside the phone booth and lex spots him and shots him with kyprtonite bullets before he gets out.
