Forum:Perplexing Problems with the "P-word"

I've been away from the game for quite some time. Now, I'm back but I need to re-learn a lot of things. For example, the change in rules to Turn Player "Priority" to activate Spell Speed 1 effects for both OCG and TCG.

I found this: in which Kevin Tewart (The Great Divider of _CGs) says we should not be using the "P-word" anymore. He also shows us the new article on Fast Effect Timing.

TCG rulings that are issued after this statement don't mention it anymore. Even TCG rulings that are issued before seldom use the word. Do official judges at TCG tournaments even use the word?

Next, the content for the Priority page and Fast Effect Timing page are fairly similar (though the FET page has a flowchart that is easier to understand). Should we merge the two pages, delete the old "Priority" page or keep both pages?

Lastly, when I explain activating effects as the Turn Player and Chaining and so on, can I say:
 * "You have Priority as the Turn Player to activate effects... Then, Priority is passed to your opponent..."

Or must I always say:
 * "According to "FET" rules, you the Turn Player, is allowed to activate effects first.... Then, your opponent is allowed to activate their effects...."

Please help explain these things to me as I'm very confused at the moment? HHT  - (Talk to the Turtle) 15:11, June 29, 2012 (UTC)
