You're wanting a change in a product used by hundreds of people, yet you can't prove that it needs to be changed. So far all you've provided is because so and so says so. Sorry, but WHFB is a game. Games have rules. So either provide something in the rules that proves your right or there is no reason to change the files. You may bitch about 'rules lawyers', but at least their opponents can read the rulebooks and know what to expect. It's people like you who try and make up their own rules and then try and defend their actions by calling anyone who disagrees with them a 'rules lawyer' that gives this game a bad name.

And since when does an tourney judge have the right to say what's legal or not after the tourney's over? He doesn't. If a tourney judge wants to make them 'official' for a tournament, then that's his business. Outside of that tournament, they're answers are unofficial.

Doesn't mean that they're right 100% of the time either, does it?

Looks who's talking about being 'petty'. You wants the rules changed, yet you can't provide a reason why. That's being 'petty'. Common sense to me is to play by the rules as written and not to let personal bias interfere with my reading of the rules.

Last time I looked, the rules don't magically change just because of a majority. The rules still say the exact same thing as before. So go ahead and change the datafiles all that you like and when someone calls you on an illegal list, remember that we told you so.
