these is incorrect.

Skill drain doesn't negate any effect that resolve on field.

if you activate Card like exiled force, lonefire blossom ,stardust,etc
those card's effect will resolve on the field.(because they are activated in field) //regardless of where the monster that activate the effect goes during resolution.
However skill drain will not negate this kind of effect because during resolution those monster will no longer face-up on the field.

say you summon caius when your opponent have skill drain. and then your opponent stupidly chain bottomless to your caius, you'll have caius effect resolving normally, because caius is no longer face-up on the field when caius effect resolving.

Ahem.... your statement is also incorrect because the cards you mentioned do not remain on the field because they have a cost to there effect being tributing themselfs before the effect resolves, because they are not on the field anymore, all other cards activate and resolve on the field, thus being negated by skill drain >_>. It's a different case from the asked question.

What DarkMatter is saying, is that Lonefire's effect (if tributing itself), Exiled Force's effect etc. still resolves on the field (even if the card is not on the field), but because the card itself is not on the field, it doesn't get negated.

As additional explanation: all effect is resolving in the same place where they are activated.
Skill Drain will not negates all effects that resolve on the field. Junk Synchron/Debris Dragon will

skill drain will not negate rescue cat's effect.but debris dragon will.
let's say i summon debris, and then using his effect to summon rescue cat, you can stil activate cat effect(to tribute itself), but then your cat will not bring out 2 other monster because cat effect was activated and resolving on the field.

however card like sangan/dandylion/mystic tomato etc's effect is all activated and resolving once they hit graveyard, thus it's activated and resolving in the graveyard.

ahm, about flip effects: skill drain negates them if a monster is normally flipped but in case you attack ryko and he is flipped and his eff is activated the following happens: 1. If skill drain was already face up on field his eff will be negated (the mill will be still done since it is a cost) 2. If skill drain was face down and you want to activate it after you see ryko you can't since it is the damage step so it won't be negated, you can only activate it after the battle ends (eff resolves)

This is completely false.

Sending the top 3 cards of your Deck to Graveyard is apart of the effect of "Ryko, Lightsworn Hunter". Its NOT a Cost.

Both effects (Milling/Destroying respectively) are treated as parts of one and the same effect. Thus, If "Skill Drain" is in effect and it negates "Ryko, Lightsworn Hunter's" Flip Effect, the whole effect is negated - you do NOT mill 3.

lol, he might have misconcepted it with card trooper.
nonetheless you are correct.
and this question is pretty much answered.
maybe it can be locked?
