Just wondered about the whole Prisci Block thing. If there is only one Priscus, does a Prisci sub-referendum (of only one vamp) still count for 3 votes in the regular referendum?

Which is both funny and appropriate. Heh. gomi -- PART II: WHAT DOSE DIRECT X 8.00 HAEV THAT TEH OTHARS DIDANT NOT INCLUDE? many things, stuped!!! but they dont work -Jeff K.

So Gratiano can have seven votes if you put Regent on him. That is the biggest crock of bullshit I have ever heard! What are they putting in the water in Columbia? Comments Welcome, Norman S.

He only gets four votes, plus a single vote in the Prisci sub-referendum. What you're calling "insanity" I call "card text". -- LSJ (vte...@white-wolf.com) VTES Net.Rep for White Wolf, Inc.

While I guess this is legal, like others, I am rather disturbed by this. Wow! Who needs conventional vote decks when you get just about get vote lock with one vampire and one master card! Halcyan 2

(I'm guessing you either play a Parthenon while Gratiano isn't out yet and then put both on him, or just put the Secure Haven before the Regent). Halcyan 2

In article <20010112031951...@ng-bg1.aol.com>, [ quoted text not captured ] What it makes him a prime canidate for is equipping with San Nicolas de los Servitas San Nicolás de los Servitas [SW] Cardtype: Equipment Clan: Lasombra Cost: 2 blood This equipment card represents a unique location and does not count as equipment while in play. Actions directed at this Lasombra cost an additional pool. If this location is burned, the Lasombra with this card takes two damage (damage not preventable). This card cannot be contested. Any card that would contest this location is immediately burned before contesting begins. You then put alot of combat defense in the deck. No straight rush deck can afford to pay a pool for every rush action, and bloat rush decks are nessasarily slow by the capacity of the bloating vampire.

just put in a few tele vote countings, yeah he gets a lot, but gee, he decided to abstain, or closed session. and the Dom reaction to cancel votes, can't recall the name. Yeah Grat is a powerful voter, but no one vampire can do everything, especially just Grat calling his one vote a turn. It looks scary, and so does Arika with a Legendary Vamp on her (that was a fun game) but at an average table you can't just use that one vamp to get vote lock.(in my experiance) [ quoted text not captured ]

X_Ze...@email.msn.com

In article <93njq8$rhi$1...@nnrp1.deja.com>, [ quoted text not captured ] There is a significant cost difference between Arika with a Legendary Vampire Card on her(13 pool cost which incedentally has to be played on her the turn after she comes out) and Gratiano with a Regent Card on him (9 Pool cost). Also Gratiano with the Regent Card could out-vote Arika with the Legendary Vampire card on him. It seems counter intuitive to me that the Pricus Subvote occurs when there are no Pricus present or in play. Comments Welcome, Norman S.

You're playing vamps that big, you shouldn't be totally concerned about pool as gain should figure in. but although gratiano has more votes the Prisi vote can be canceled by another priscus, so he'd down to four (i think). Plus Arika gets BO and Awe available (plus tele vote and the others... alright so I like her a lot and unmoded bleeds for 5) > > It seems counter intuitive to me that the Pricus Subvote occurs when > there are no Pricus present or in play. Someone gets a untap phase even if they have nothing to untap, because some effects can occur in other peoples untaps, likewise maybe there will be effects that occur in the Prisci vote, like a vampire with a special vote there. The Prisci vote does not need to be 'called' it is there for every referendum, it is however largely ignored unless it will effect the vote, ie when there are not vamps that can vote in the Prisci election. When such vamps exist the election is noticed. Gratiano has two votes in that election, one is removed if he becomes a regent, but the other still exists and can be used to influence the outcome of the sub-refenendum.

Another Question Can a minion have a title of Priscus and simultaneously Cardinal? Regent [SW] Cardtype: Master Cost: 1 pool Unique Master. Put this card on a Sabbat vampire you control with a capacity above 7. This vampire has the title of Cardinal and has one additional vote as well. Burn this card if this vampire receives another title. Any Sabbat vampire with a different controller can enter combat with this vampire as a (D) action. If a Sabbat vampire diablerizes this vampire, move this card to the diablerist (before the blood hunt is called). [ quoted text not captured ]

You are assuming that there are no other Priscis in play. Also you are forgetting that the regent allows other vamps to attack him. It's like having a haven uncovered on you. Arika with Leg vamp does not have these restriction, plus you are not counting that Arika besides the votes would have a 4 bleed. <X_Ze...@email.msn.com> wrote in message news:93o326$9vc$1...@nnrp1.deja.com...

No they cannot have two titles. He would become a Cardinal. However in Gratiano's case his text states that he gets an additional vote in the Pricis sub referendum. So he gets one vote in it regardless of title. <take...@my-deja.com> wrote in message news:93oki8$o46$1...@nnrp1.deja.com... [ quoted text not captured ]

Actually, she wouldn't have a 4 bleed. She would have a +4 bleed, to have a bleed of 5 before playing any cards on each action. Carpe Noctem.

Well, they're not ALL his votes, of course. Which would be gross, since then Gratiano could clean anyone's clock with Island of Yiaros. Not that as a regent he wouldn't do a bad job as is. -- Pat Ricochet Soul Jar'rn Fool of Atlanta
