Sorry, I have another political question (can you tell I just built a political deck?) So, my action is Charming Lobby, and I declare/play the first and second political action cards from my hand. What I'm wondering is, does the second PA card (which is named at the same time as the first PA card) contribute the value of one vote towards the referendum which PA cards usually confer? (Or would that be considered some form of Vote Pushing, even though Charming Lobby allows two PA cards to be "played?") Also, since the second PA passes automatically if the first one passes then when I also play Voter Captivation and Bewitching Oration to gain pool it is the first referendum that we consider when counting votes, correct? Thirdly, may I play two of the same PA cards (ex. KRC or whatever) with Charming Lobby, or would that be considered a Repeat Action? Thanks again.

No. You play Chamring Lobby and the first political action card from your hand (and tap the acting vampire). > What I'm wondering is, does the second PA card (which is named at the > same time as the first PA card) contribute the value of one vote > towards the referendum which PA cards usually confer?

If you played Charming Lobby at superior, then you also get two votes from that. The action will have to remain unblocked and then the referendum will have to pass before any other actions (such as your "second" political action) can be attempted. If the second will pass automatically, the vote you get from the second political action card cannot be cast. > Also, since the second PA passes automatically if the first one passes > then when I also play Voter Captivation and Bewitching Oration to > gain pool it is the first referendum that we consider when counting > votes, correct? You play them during the first political action (the Charmin Lobby action), yes. You cannot play Bewitching Oration during a referendum that is to pass automatically (like the second political action in this case). You could play a Voter Captivation on a referendum that passes automatically, but you would gain no pool or blood, since it didn't pass by any defined amount. > Thirdly, may I play two of the same PA cards (ex. KRC or whatever) > with Charming Lobby, or would that be considered a Repeat Action? (Note: "No Repeat Action" is a tournament rule. The following assumes that that rule is in effect.) You may play two - the second is played by a different vampire. If "Repeat Actions" was applicable, it wouldn't matter what the names of the political actions were - "Repeat Action" cares only about action type (like "Political Action"), not the action name (like "KRC"). The same minion cannot attempt two political actions in the same turn, regardless of the nature of those two political actions. -- L.
