Question on Brinkmanship...

player a has a Brinkmanship in play, and very healthy player b still in the game, but just walling up... player c too strong in the game... Player d out of cards and crippled beyond believe... Player c tells player d, that'll he'll let player d withdraw from the game... What would happen if player d successfully withdrew? 1.) player a is ousted and player c gets 6 pool... 2.) player a is ousted at the same time as player d withdraws so nobody get's the 6 pool... 3.) Player a starts throwing things at player c; cups, pennies, counters, beer cans, etc... 4.) player b laugh hystically... 5.) Never would happen, would have broke the deal anyways. If you attempt to withdraw, then brinkmanship was called and passed... Are you subject to the same condition? From the text, only Methuselah forced to withdraw from the game by the card will get ousted by it... -- Direct access to this group with http://web2news.com http://web2news.com/?rec.games.trading-cards.jyhad

Although if that current attempt to withdraw succeeds, the brinksmanship will still oust its controller. -- LSJ (vte...@white-wolf.com) V:TES Net.Rep for White Wolf, Inc.

But the withdrawal is successful first, right? It has to be in order for the condition of Brinksmanship to fire off. So you successfully withdraw and then the Brinksmanship ousts the controller of the brinksmanship, who has already withdrawn, so it should be a moot point.

If the Brinks's controller has already withdrawn, Brinks is no longer in play, and there is nothing to answer. The question was: If A attempts to withdraw and then on B's turn, B puts Brinks in play, what happens when A's turn rolls around again? Answer: If A fails to withdraw: nothing. A simply takes his turn as normal. If A succeeds in withdrawing: B is ousted. [ quoted text not captured ]

No. It means that if Brinksmanship is NOT in play and you begin your turn with less than a full hand, you can simply choose to withdraw on your own instead of being forced to do so by the Brinksmanship, and thus not be subject to its effect even if it is put into play before your next untap.

A simply takes his turn as normal. ... and A must attempt to withdraw again (and succeed or be ousted unless Brinkmanship is somehow removed). [ quoted text not captured ]
