Requesting a Ruling (Booty) - Curse vs. Cheated Enhancer

rosesand · 01-22-2013, 05:08 PM

In a recent game a player had used a Cheat card to play a ship enhancer on an item rather than onto a ship (he had none in play).

He then had the "Curse: Waterspout" played on him, which reads in the body text something along the lines of your ship loses all of its enhancers while the footer reads "Lose Ship Enhancers!".

After a persuasive argument (and pointing out that the body text specifically mentioned your ship) we let the dice decide whether the enhancer would be lost, or whether the Curse! could be withdrawn.

My questions here are:
* Does a Cheat card to place a Ship Enhancer on an item mean that it is still a Ship Enhancer or does it become an Item Enhancer?
* Does the body text (your ship loses etc). affect the effect of the card, or is it just flavour?
* What should have been the result of the Curse! Waterspout being played on a Cheated Ship Enhancer?
