Nope. There's an OCG ruling on this: If the effect of "Earthbound Immortal Chacu Challhua" is negated by "Skill Drain", then you still cannot Normal Summon a second "Earthbound Immortal Chacu Challhua". This is because the effect "There can only be 1 face-up "Earthbound Immortal" monster on...

Actually, "Solemn Warning" can't do anything. "Solemn Warning" can only negate the activation of a Spell Card; it can't negate the activation of the effect of a Spell Card. The text is a little ambiguous, but the OCG text clearly doesn't allow it, and we got an e-mail from Konami addressing it:

(a) is correct. For example, your opponent activates "Jar of Greed", and draws a card. Afterwards, you start a new Chain by activating the effect of "Droll & Lock Bird". After the second Chain finishes resolving, your opponent can no longer use effects like "Reinforcements of the Army" or...

Again, it's like "Prohibition". Compare it to: A declared Monster Card can be Special Summoned from the Deck, Graveyard, or Removed Zone. If this happens, the Monster Card's effects are not applied, and it cannot attack or change its battle position manually. Any maintainence costs must still...

"Psi-Blocker" works the same way as "Prohibition", minus that whole "already on the field" part. You cannot activate the monster's effect, and you cannot use its inherent condition to Summon it. "Treeborn Frog" Special Summons itself through an effect which starts a Chain Link (NOT an...

Uh, it's "inherent". "Inherit" means something different. Inherent Summoning Conditions can only be used in your Main Phase, and can't be done in response to anything. Both "Darkness Neosphere" and "Gorz" are Summoned in the Battle Phase and are Summoned in response to something, so they...

If you Tribute "Dupe Frog" for a Tribute Summon, then you miss the timing. It's the same as: If "Peten the Dark Clown" is Tributed for a Tribute Summon, the last thing that happened was that a monster was Summoned, so the effect of "Peten" does not activate.

"Tyranno Infinity" checks the number of removed-from-play monsters that its controller has. In your case, your opponent controls "Tyranno Infinity", so its ATK is based on the opponent's removed-from-play Dinosaurs.

"Scrap-Iron Scarecrow" will be re-Set.

That doesn't work. More-or-less, "piercing" effects like that just "turn on" the ability for the monster to inflict Battle Damage in a situation where it normally wouldn't. If you have two "piercing" effects, then the first "turns on" the ability, and the second does nothing, since the ability...

"Royal Oppression" either negates the Summon, or the effect of a card which Special Summons. If you wait for the Summon to be successful, then it is too late to negate it. If the effect of "Marauding Captain" to resolves and Special Summons the monster, then the Summon is already successful...

Actually, it would be the same as "Majestic Star Dragon": If you negate the effect of a Gemini monster that is being treated as a Normal Monster, you cannot activate its effect. If you negated the effect of a Gemini Monster after it's been Normal Summoned again, you cannot activate the negated...

"Needle Wall" does not target. To target, you must choose the cards that the effect will affect when you activate the effect - that is, when it starts a Chain Link. "Needle Wall" does not choose what it will destroy until it resolves, so "Needle Wall" does not target. "Needle Wall" will...

Yes; the bookmark was for http://www.cogonline.net/index.php . I also got redirected to ~/profile.php?do=dst when I tried to access http://www.cogonline.net/ (without /index.php), but only three to four times, and then it lets me in normally.

Whenever I try to access the site, I get redirected to http://www.cogonline.net/profile.php?do=dst , which gives me a 404 error. If I keep trying to access the main http://www.cogonline.net/ site, it eventually lets me in, but it takes three to four tries. I had my DST setting set to...
