Vote timing question

The situation: I have 4 vampires, and 4 pool. My prey has 4 vampires, and 4 pool. My vampire with PRE calls Anarchist Uprising, and it passes. Do I get a chance to play a Voter Cap to gain 2 pool (and thus gain 6 more), before I am ousted?

(although i guess if someone life-booned you, you could voter cap..... and you would also gain the 6 pool for ousting your prey...) salem domain:canberra http://www.geocities.com/salem_christ.geo/vtes.htm

Correct. > (although i guess if someone life-booned you, you could voter cap..... > and you would also gain the 6 pool for ousting your prey...) Note: You would get the 6 pool, but not the VP. The Life Boon, being played before the respective oustings, would be active when it came time to hand out the VPs, so when you get the VP-and-six package, the VP is given to the player who played Life Boon instead. You could, of course, then play Voter Cap to get even more pool, yes. -- LSJ (vte...@white-wolf.com) V:TES Net.Rep for White Wolf, Inc.

[ quoted text not captured ] As others have noted, timing for Voter Cap comes after the vote is resolved. However, IIRC, if someone else is acting, you can still benefit from Bribes (i.e. if you have 4 pool and 4 minions and someone calls an Anarchist Uprising with Bribes and you vote in favor of the vote, you should get the pool in time to keep you from being ousted). Please correct me if I recall incorrectly. Halcyan 2

Please correct me if I recall incorrectly. Correct. The Briber collects when Bribes is played. Everyone else who votes in favor collects when the votes are tallied. [ quoted text not captured ]
