To emphasize: "Additional political cards can be used... The actual effects of these cards are ignored." An lone exception (and a good one) to the [10]: Golden Rules for Cards. I would think that this would apply to PAs which said things like "only one per game" and even "Prince/Justicar" - anybody pitching these in would ignore the text of the card.

Hordthkin the Destroyer

Two Situations came up last night in a game of Jyhad, and I was wondering if anyone could clear this up... 1) After some one introduces Ancient Influence as a political action, can I use another Ancient Influence just as a vote, or can they not be used for such. The card says that only one can be 'played' in a game. 2) I used Day Operation to start an unblockable bleed, and then used Mask of 1000 Faces to change to a vampire with a higher bleed. Which vampire should go to torpor afterwards? Thanx for any help... Chris -- -- "Look! I'm SpaceGhost, I'm hungry, I've got a talking voodoo doll taking chunks out of my horse, and I want my pizza!"

Well, the rules say that other political cards can be "used" (it says that twice), not "played", so I would say that it's legal to use it for the vote after one's been played. >2) I used Day Operation to start an unblockable bleed, and then >used Mask of 1000 Faces to change to a vampire with a higher >bleed. Which vampire should go to torpor afterwards? The vampire who actually takes the action will be the one that goes to torpor. The Mask transfers all characteristics of the action that are not from permanent sources (such as the vampire's inherent +bleed bonus or the bonus from a Laptop) over to the new vampire. All stealth, bleed, and wonky modifiers will affect the new vampire (Day Op is one of the wonky ones). | 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

Peace Chris, Yes, you could toss it in for additional vote during some other vote. > 2) I used Day Operation to start an unblockable bleed, and then > used Mask of 1000 Faces to change to a vampire with a higher > bleed. Which vampire should go to torpor afterwards? The vampire that resolved the action (the last one to Mo1kF) goes to torpor. Nil carborundum illigitimi, James R.
