A couple of questions about the Daughters: 1) Is it still considered "during the Influence Phase" when you've brought a vampire into play at the end? Can Angela Preston immediately tap to use her ability? 2) If a vampire is holding onto a vote after playing Echo of Harmonies at Superior, when she burns it to call the vote, do you gain the 1 vote from the political action card? If not, can her controller burn a vote card from his hand to gain a vote?

It appears to me that flipping the vampire face up implicitly ends the influence phase -- meaning that Angela Preston can't use her ability, and the additional transfers granted by Ingrid Rossler can't be used. Is there a post-end of influence phase window where the influence phase has ended, but it's still the influence phase? confused, gomi -- Blood, guts, guns, cuts Knives, lives, wives, nuns, sluts

Hmm. Right you are. I was mistakenly paralleling Angela's ability with Alexandra's. [ quoted text not captured ]

After Angela comes into play, even though that is at the end of my influencephase there still has to be some influencephase left before vampire number two is influenced, and that tiny timewindow ought to be enough. Cornercase, yes I know. Sten During

Cornercase, yes I know. Good effort, but still won't work. Once you reach the end of your influence phase, you cannot do any "during your influence phase" stuff. [ quoted text not captured ]

Well, a good try is better than no try at all :) Sten During

[ quoted text not captured ] To sum up. All Vampires are brought into play simultaneously at the end of the influence phase. Raille

As for 2 scare vampires. Unless new scare vampires come out in future sets, its not really an issue. You can say they both pay the extra 3 pool. ;0 Raille
