No, you need to tap a minion to CALL a vote (section 12.3.1) but you, the
Meth, play other political cards for votes. (Section 17.1)

Hmmm... I don't know about that. The section (15.2) doesn't say anything
about untapped minions. Maybe it matters if they are "zero cost"
reactions? I don't know. We need a ruling on this one.

Don't have the original rulebook on me, but section 13.2 (not 15.2) of
the corrected rules says: "Reaction cards are played by an untapped
minion..."

How can you tell the original from the corrected? My rulebook lists
votes for vampires that are "Ready" as opposed to just "Controlled", but
my section 13.2 says nothing about untapped minions.

The corrected rulebook is a big, 8.5x11 rulebook that was sent to all
Convocation members, and which was available at GenCon (and presumably
will be at future cons). It's probably possible to ask for a copy in
the mail, but I haven't gotten a response on that yet.

I hope so. And I hope WotC charges very little (hopefully nothing) for a
copy of these "revised rules". That way people who can't get to
conventions, and aren't Convocation members, can have something refer to
when people are arguing on the net...

I second the request for cheap (should be free) copies of the revised
rules, as several of the revisions are pretty necessary, and I for one
have little interest in the convocation, as I have no plans to
participate in official play.

Plus, WotC sent it out to may retailers and gave them permission to copy
it and distribute it for a persiod of time, even saying it was okay to
charge the cost of the photocopies.
Ask your local reatiler for a copy.

Perhaps someoe, say the netrep, could arrange to post a copy of the revised
rules in this newsgroup.
Was told that anyone interested in getting a copy of the expanded rules
should contact customer service (custserv@wizards.com). Apparently all
of the copies they printed up were taken to, and given away at, GenCon,
but presumably they'll print up more if enough people want them.
