Three Critical Errors

 

The Three Critical Errors were a group of major omissions in several printings of the Repent: The Exotic set's Comprehensive Rulebook. Because of the omission of these rules, several major changes were apparent in Pillar Resolution and gameplay of Wizbits Elemenstor Battle. Chief among these (the First Critical Error) was the omission of the Reverse Pillar rule, which is enormously important for many combo decks to work efficiently. The Second Critical Error was the replacement of a colon (:) with a semicolon (;). While this would be later recognized as a marketing stunt to foreshadow the release of Book 13 of the Elemenstor Saga, at the time all it caused was rules havoc as it caused many players to completely disregard the next set of rules. These rules included the explanation of Flip Timing Subpillars, Superpillar Damage Management, and an interesting procedure based on tail recursion which cleared up any rules inconsistencies in the game and allowed all rules to be clearly and concisely explained; it also allowed all currently unsolved mysteries of some Pillar-heavy combos to be easily explained. It is not believed that any written copies of this procedure remain in existence.

 

The Third Critical Error remains a mystery to this day. No one can quite agree on what it was, though it's commonly accepted that it was a really big problem.

 

While the Three Critical Errors themselves are well known debate still exists as to whether they were cause by a freak printing accident or by deliberate sabotage by a disgruntled employee. Whichever it is the confusion caused to beginners and tournament veterans alike is still remembered to this day.
