Is it just me, or do you find yourself humming the theme song to "Fame"
whenever you play that card at 5am? Also, somehow our jyhad group has
adopted "You gotta keep 'em seperated" as the random line that people
sing when bored during the game. Actually, I think that comes from the
6 hour, 4 player game that we played a while back in which I got booted
after about 3 hours and for some unknown reason decided to hang around
to watch. That song must have come on MTV at some point and then got
applied to the game. Yes, I'm wierd.
Anyway, the Question. It's about Fame. Now, the card says that if the
vampire it's played on goes to torpor, then the prey of the vampire
loses 3 pool (I'm pretty sure it says pool, not blood, but that's not
really the problem, anyway). The problem is: Who is the prey of the
vampire? Normally the term used is "prey of the methuselah" which means
that either the card is badly worded or it is intended to mean something
else. The argument is that, if it is supposed to be the prey of the
methuselah, then if you play Fame and torpor happens, then your prey is
losing 3 pool, regardless of how your guy went to torpor. The other
thought is that since it says "prey of the vampire", that maybe it means
the owner of the vampire that puts you in torpor. This would make more
sense in that you're losing influence because you just pounded on a famous
person. Who knows, but I'd like to play with the card in the way it
was intended to be used, so I await enlightenment...
