Hello, i was wondering something about ceasefire. It says "flip all face down monsters face - up, flip effects are not activated at this time. Although flip effects are not activated, would the monsters still be considered flip summoned? Example:
I set a golem sentry, and i have a swarm of scarabs face down already. I activate ceasefire. Would these cards get their effects, since they're technically not flip effects?

No, it is not a flip summon. The only flip summons are the flip summons that you do manually. Any other "flip face-up" situations are just that, fliped face-up, which by the way are not negated by Ceasefire.

EDIT: The only thing that is negated are "FLIP:" effects.

Someone's probably going to mention how this should be in the rules of dueling section.

Flip Summon = manually changing your monster from face-down Defense Position to face-up Attack Position.

Ceasefire merely flips the monster face-up and prevents FLIP: monsters from going off.

Monsters that activate just from being flipped (like Nightmare Penguin, Tsukuyomi, etc) will still activate since they are not considered FLIP: monsters (since there is no FLIP: at the start of their effect)

okay, thanks ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

The only effects that would trigger are monsters who'se text says "when this monster is flipped face up" such as Tsukuyomi.
