Lextalionis: Political Action. Select a Meth. who has received a victory point since your last turn. Successful vote means that all of that Meth's minions are immediately tapped and they do not untap during her next untap phase. Malkavian Madness Network: At the end of any Meth's Minion phase, any untapped Malk. may take an action. So, at the end of my Minion Phase, My Predator's Predator uses Zebulon to bleed his Prey (my Predator), ousting my Predator. Q: Can I use Lextalionis on my next turn to tap My (new) Predator's minions? A: (Card text) No. She gained her victory point DURING my last turn, not SINCE my last turn. (Effectively, there is NO opportunity to use Lextalionis, since I have finished my Minion Phase by the time the only "Window of Opportunity" opens up). So, should this be: .. received a victory point since the start of your last untap phase on your last turn? (Probably yes, but I don't expect to ever hear an official word one way or the other :-(

Well, 'since your last turn' doesn't specify when during your turn this 'since' marker started (it doesn't say 'since the end of your last turn' or 'since the beginning' or 'since the end of the minion phase if present'), and the spirit of the card doesn't seem to be broken by allowing it, so I would say that it's perfectly legal to use it. >So, should this be: .. received a victory point since the start of your >last untap phase on your last turn? > >(Probably yes, but I don't expect to ever hear an official word one way or Well, since we're staging a coup, we'll give it the official r.g.t-c.j stamp of approval. :-) | If you've got a hot lead on a new | *--Joe--* | PC game, call the announce line at | js...@vt.edu | ** csi...@discus.ise.vt.edu ** | +-------------------------------------+---------------------------------- "Carnivores, oy!" -- Timon, TLK
