[normal][fixed]Ezio Mentor Inconsistencies

Hey.

So, Ezio Mentor has this exact effect on the game:
"SURPRISE, THREAT.
Your Memories have SURPRISE."

But in fact, it's not appliying to everything. There is already a bug affecting copied and stolen cards with Ezio, but this one is with your own cards.

If I have, let's say a Ottoman Gunman in my HQ when I play Ezio, Otto's ability is not a SURPRISE and won't be a SURPRISE because of Ezio. That's the bug.

But if I play Otto just after Ezio, he will be played as a SURPRISE *and* his ability will also be a SURPRISE, allowing me to gain +1 influence on my sites twice per day.

Why two different effects for the same card depending on when I play it?
Ezio's wording has "have" and so, even the Memories already on the field should gain SURPRISE when he's there.

Now, I'm still unsure why giving SURPRISE to a Memory also applies to it's active ability. It may be the bug, but if it is WAI, then we need all the cards to be affected the same way.

I had a MESS of a game earlier against ?aerialace? with him playing Piri Reis at one point. Even after I killed it, some of my memories were still launching as actions (the cards I had in hand while Piri was in play?), it was super confusing/frustrating.

I think it's a bug, and I think it's one of the same caliber as monterigionni. I think how they've handled the mentor event is to actually add surprise to every card they think it applies to. Which is wrong as then when he dies they go and take it all away. And in a big operation like that something can go wrong. You can even see a little virtual card resolving just above your card count when you play ezio mentor.

I think what should happen is your cards should check at launch whether it's a surprise or not.

But Anyhoo, yeah it's mighty buggy, and shouldn't affect activate abilities.
