I have some questions about Jyhad:
Am I correct that during your minion phase, you play one minion at a time?
If so, if your first minion puts another vampire in torpor, can another
minion encounter that vampire on the same turn?
And about action modifying cards (like threats, and other bleed at +X cards)
can the action be blocked after the card is played??? Here's what happened:
someone tried to bleed his prey. The the prey said "I don't block". Then
the bleeder played an action card that gave him +2 bleed. Then the prey
said "oh i Do want to block.", but we weren't sure if he legally could,
or if the action had already succeeeded, and now it was just being
modified. ???
Before I could do anything to stop it, l1nocell@vaxc.stevens-tech.edu wrote:

Each of your minions may take an action during the minion phase, and,
yes, you handle each of them one at a time.

Yes.

I believe that the rules are explicit about this. If a player chooses not
to block an action, the action remains unblocked. He cannot change his
mind and attempt the block after he has declined his first shot at it.
Remember, the Prey gets the first chance to block a non-directed action,
then the Predator gets second shot. If they both decline, the action goes
through. For directed actions, only the affected Methuselah may block,
and if he declines, the action succeeds.

I don't understand the question. During your minion phase, each and
every minion of yours can take an action if it wishes to. You are not
restricted to recruiting a single ally/retainer during your minion phase.
Do either of these answer the question?

Since you can take multiple actions during your minion phase, this will
work just fine.

Once the player has declined to block an action, she cannot later change
her mind and block it anyways, even if more action modifiers are used
(last paragraph, section 13.3.1).

Even if she has Anneke (may block after others have declined or
failed)? For that matter, what DOES that skill mean? Can Anneke block
directed actions against another methusalah?

If an action is directed, normally only the player being affected can block.
If the action is non-directed, normally only the acting player's prey and
predator can block. Anneke, and Eagle's Sight, allow blocking after the
normal blocker(s) have declined to block, or have failed, regardless of
whether that player could have blocked otherwise. However, if Anneke
declines to block, she can't decide to block anyway if more action modifiers
are used, just like the normally blocker(s) couldn't.
