Cunctator Motion question

So I'm trying to start a sealed-deck style league (a la the Madison League) and I realized that I still don't know how the heck Cunctator Motion is supposed to work. I tried looking it up on deja, but all I really came across was a whole lot of Mark Korshavn's lists and an entertaining round of Derek hammering someone on a CL debate in the late spring of '99. So... Cunctator Motion (Jyhad, V:TES) Political Action Political Card-Worth 1 Vote. Called by any vampire at +1 stealth. Only usable if playing for ante. Choose how you would rearrange the remaining ante cards among the surviving Methuselahs. Successful <referendum> means you then rearrange the remaining ante cards. Am I to assume that each Methuselah has his ante card(s) out in front of him, and the Methuselah calling this just kind of messes them around, changing the controller/owner of each ante card as he sees fit? That's what it looks like. Would this be correct? I am player A, I am close to being ousted, but I think I can take out my prey before the Malk S&B eats through me. My ante is an Immortal Grapple, because I'm playing a Ventrue Dom/Pot/For vote deck. My prey (player B) has a Disguised Weapon as his ante. So, I call Cunctator Motion, switch my ante card with my prey's, oust player B, and then sit back happy that I didn't lose my IG. My predator then gnashes his teeth and wails, because he was looking forward to keeping that IG away from me for the rest of his (un)natural life. He ousts me Ozmo who has Pulsed, and hits me with a GtU + Conditioning for 9, since Ozmo also has a Dominate skill card. I then do the happy dance while handing my Disguised Weapon to my predator (player C...I just realized that there was really no need to name the players, but oh well). So, is this correct? Does it really matter, since I'll bet no one has thought about ante in ages? Xian -- I'd tell the world and save my soul, But rain falls down and I feel cold. A cold that sleeps within my heart, It tears the earth and sun apart. --_Shellshock_, New Order www.waste.org/~xian

One new deck, and I found the version of the GNSP deck that Legbiter and I originally tested in JOL.
