"Corruptions", Temptation and strange questions...

Here's the first situation: -Player A puts a Corruption counter on a 2 capacity vampire. -Player B plays his Corruption on the same vampire. Does Player B takes control of that vampire, or the Corruption counters aren't cumulative between players? Second situation: A vampire has a Seeds of Corruption on him. He intents to bleed but is intercepted. Does he have to burn blood by the intent? Third situation: Player A plays Temptation on a vampire with 2 blood. Player A plays another Temptation on the same vampire. Does he takes control of the vampire or Temptation counters aren't cumulative? Fourth situation: A player plays Govern the Unaligned at superior. How do the other players know that the uncontrolled vampire is _in fact_ younger? I ask this because usually at the end of the game, no one remembers to see the uncontrolled vampire, and during the (harmless) action the other players trust each other... (strange question, i know...) Thanks. .- Luis....@ip.pt

Corruption counters aren't shared, by card text ("If the number of *your* corruption counters...", emphasis added). Plus, Corruption counters can only be played on your prey's minions, so sharing (if it were possible) would have to involve an ousting or a table rearrangement. > Second situation: > A vampire has a Seeds of Corruption on him.

Does he > takes control of the vampire or Temptation counters aren't cumulative? Temptation counters are placed on the temptation card, not directly on the vampire. So, in this third situation (assuming both temptations are played at superior), the vampire ends up with two temptation cards on him, with one temptation counter each. > Fourth situation: > A player plays Govern the Unaligned at superior. How do the other > players know that the uncontrolled vampire is _in fact_ younger? Trust. If the player is not trusted, call the tourney judge over for verification. If the player's ability is in question (i.e., the concern is that the player may be inadvertently using GtU on an older vampire), a simple query ("That's a younger vampire you're putting blood on, right?") should suffice. Similar solutions apply to Art Museum, Ecoterrorists, etc. -- LSJ (vte...@wizards.com) V:TES Net.Rep for Wizards of the Coast.
