(For Ankur...) Anneke gets drunk on some XTC-laced blood. After Frederick the Weak (who has gone Out of the Frying Pan) snaps her out of her addiction, she decides to reward him by calling an Alastor vote naming FtW, which passes. Unfortunately, while Anneke was out of it, it turns out that some mean Harbingers of Skulls Slaughterhouse'd all the Assault Rifles. So when her controller goes through his library to find a weapon, he comes up empty. Is Frederick still an Alastor, or does the vote's effects fizzle? Alastor: Choose a ready Camarilla vampire. If this referendum is successful, search your library for an equipment card and place this card and the equipment on the chosen vampire. Pay half the cost (round down) of the equipment. This vampire may enter combat with any vampire controlled by another Methuselah as a +1 stealth (D) action. This vampire cannot commit diablerie. A vampire may have only one Alastor. --Colin McGuigan

Trick question, since you use the Waste Management Operation to put an Assault Rifle back into your deck. (You did call Alastor during your discard phase, didn't you?) > Alastor: Choose a ready Camarilla vampire.

Seriously speaking, the statements on the Alastor card are separated by periods. Each happens. The order is unimportant since at this point (successful) the card's effects are considered atomic. You couldn't say, "interrupt" this card's effects in order prevent the "no diablerie" consequence. Ankur

I tried, but sadly, there was another untapped Slaughterhouse. So now I have this assault rifle in my hand, and I put my cards on the table, and I'm trying to edge the card away from the others so I can call it my library, but they keep pointing and yelling "cheater" and it's really distracting. > Seriously speaking, the statements on the Alastor card are separated by > periods.

But I overlooked the Path of Death and the Soul ruling. I will somehow use this to my advantage. Perhaps a Force of Will / Daring the Dawn deck that makes everyone else on the table Alastors first to keep from getting diablerized. --Colin McGuigan

I don't understand people sometimes. The same thing happens to me. > I will somehow use this to my advantage.

That's the last step in my Ankla Hotep Regeneration/Movement of the Slow Body/Force of Will Bleed deck. Now I'm unstoppable. Ankur
