Let's say I've got Anneke, Democritus, and Andrea Giovanni. Anneke Banishes my prey's Sheldon, Lord of the Clog. Banishment [DS, FN] Cardtype: Political action Political Card - Worth 1 Vote. Called by any vampire at +1 stealth. Choose a younger ready vampire. Successful referendum means that the chosen vampire is moved to the uncontrolled region (place him or her face down). The vampire is uncontrolled. The vampire's blood counters, master cards and minion cards stay with that vampire, with any counters they have on them (minion cards are out of play as long as the vampire remains uncontrolled). Democritus calls Might of the Camarilla. The only vampire in my prey's crypt is Sheldon, now face down. Might of the Camarilla [AH] Cardtype: Political Action Political Card-Worth 1 Vote. Called by any justicar or Inner Circle member at +1 stealth. If this <referendum> is successful, each Methuselah chooses one vampire in his or her <uncontrolled> region and burns him or her. Andrea Giovanni tries to Daemonically Possess the burned copy of Sheldon. Daemonic Possession [FN] Cardtype: Action Cost: 2 blood Discipline: Necromancy [nec] Only usable when a minion controlled by another Methuselah has been burned since your last turn. Move that minion from his owner's ash heap to your ready region, put 1 blood or life from the blood bank on the minion and tap the minion. You now control the minion. [NEC] As above, but the minion is untapped. This doesn't actually work, does it? Although Sheldon was "controlled ... since [my] last turn," and "has been burned since [my] last turn," he wasn't controlled at the time of burning. I mean, I'd sure like this to work, but I suspect that it won't. =\ -- Pat Ricochet Soul Jar'rn Fool of Atlanta

The minion that was burned was one in your uncontrolled region - not one you controlled. -- LSJ (vte...@white-wolf.com) V:TES Net.Rep for White Wolf, Inc.
