Question for those rules mongers

Okay we have a question about using Trap. Can a Majesty stop the Trap as a strike although it says Trap is played range is determined. Majesty ends combat as a strike. So what is correct? Bradford Curry Crew.

[ quoted text not captured ] Well, Combat Ends (the all powerful stament that it is, at least according to the DTR) ends all combats, immediately. So, majesty will end the combat, even if a Trap is played. Gary (can you sense the sarcasm) |> |> Bradford Curry Crew.

Yes, Majesty will stop a trap. As will a Press to End (unless another Press to Continue is provided by a card other than the trap). As will one of the combatants becoming unready (torpored or burned). Trap does nothing excpet provide one press. If the combat doesn't reach the press stage, the trap won't get to Press. -- L.

The only way to stop Majesty is to play Immortal Grapple BEFORE Majesty is played. -- Meow!

I have lots of Immortal Grapples, my Brujah will rejoice as they show those snooty Ventrue a thing or two... So if I'm controlling the acting vampire (Bums Rush or some such thing) my card is played first, if another player is controlling the acting vampire then she could play Majesty before my I.G.

Is this correct? No. Immortal Grapple is played *before* the choose strikes phase, so it gets played first regardless of who the Acting Minion is. (Until the DT decides that Majesty takes effect at the start of the round :-) [ quoted text not captured ]

Is this correct? Peace Algustas, Negative. IG is played /after/ range is determined (only at close range) and /before/ either player declares strikes, so it does not matter if you are the acting or blocking minion.
