Ok, someone plays reinforcements, and selects me (their predator). They then play Voter Cap which I DI. Can I choose the DI as one of the cards from reinforcements to shuffle back into my library. I'd assume no, but stranger things have happened. --> J

[ quoted text not captured ] No. Someone: Reinforcements action Everyone else: no block. Someone: OK. It's called. Terms: me and my Predator. 1 in favor. Everyone: ... Someone: OK. It passes 1 to 0. Here, the effects of the referendum are applied. Someone and You grab your cards from your ash heap. After that... Someone: It passed by 1, so I play Voter Cap to gain 1 blood/pool. You: DI.

[ quoted text not captured ] Don't you have to announce which cards you intend to pick up before votes are cast anyway?

[ quoted text not captured ] (Getting a little more long-winded in case it helps): You had to declare what the terms of the action were, which is 'this referendum will be called'. You then have to announce the terms of the vote, which is simply 'this set of Methuselahs will get the benefit if it passes.' So you don't have to declare which cards will be pulled, since that's neither the terms of the vote nor the resolution of the action. (Unlike actions that directly move cards from an ash heap where you DO name the cards potentially being moved, since that is an term of the action if it succeeds.) -John Flournoy

For the sake of complete clarity.... Am I correct to assume that once the vote passes and the person is taking the cards from his ash-heap and moving into their library, that those cards are made public knowledge? Or are we forced to be reduced to writing up the everyones entire ashheap before and after the vote succeeds to see what cards they moved? The big difference with reinforcements seems to be that you don't have to announce what cards you are moving before you are actually moving them (unlike other actions where you have to say before the action resolves what you want to get out of your ash-heap). Can I get an LSJ correct? [ quoted text not captured ]
