Not having an Information Highway myself, I was very happy when I succesfully voted Diputed Territory and snagged my prey's. Then, I put my prey out of business (and the game) and lost it when he left. That's right, isn't it? When someone leaves the game, all their cards go with them, right? In another game, someone stole my Hellhound from me, and then they got ousted. I argued that my Hellhound, now free of it's mind daze, should be able to search the city and find me, returning to my control. My friends wouldn't go along with my logic, though. --Mark -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mark T.

Any opponents cards a Methuselah ahs when she is ousted are returned to their owners' ash heaps. Again from Section 9. The Design Team thinks that Malkavian Dementia generates an exception to this rule, but not Far Mastery or what have you. ('Course we don't all agree with the Design Team when they generate hodge-podge rulings) :-). -- ----- L. Scott Johnson (lsc...@crl.com) Graphics Specialist and Jyhad Rules' Monger

And to the second : Having an ally stolen is a permanent condition - it will not return. Think of it this way. In the game, all allies, vampires, and other minions believe they are working to their own ends, and that the meth. simply exerts influance without their knowledge. Well, when the meth is ousted, and can no longer exert influance, the vampires will still keep working towards their own ends(which, in fact, they really are now, with that meth. not controlling them) It is unlikely that they would give up control of the hell hound which they stole. - tony, Prince of Iowa City
