(LSJ) Eagle's sight and others

Troublesome situation: Meth B has 2 pool Meth A bleeds Meth B for one. Meth B doesn't block. Meth A asks Meth C will he play ES or other card allowing him to block. Is the answer from Meth C mandatory at this point? If Meth C says he will not block can he block after B boosts his bleed? Thanks, B.

If a player has declared no blocks Eagle's Sight can't override that decision.

Unfortunately, yes.

[ quoted text not captured ] Just to clarify: So, the upshot is A was smart to ask if C would block? If A boosted the bleed without asking after receiving 'No Block' from B, could C block? Should fictional A always ask C, D, E in case one of them plays Eagle's Sight?

[ quoted text not captured ] Right. Note that asking for "Any blocks?" and waiting to observe a period of attentive silence from B, C, D, and E is often sufficient for B (who will likely be vocal about "no block") and C, D, and E to confirm their decisions not to block. That is, C can't silently forego xeir impulse in the hopes of drawing out the boost before blocking.

[ quoted text not captured ] > out the boost before blocking.- Hide quoted text - > > - Show quoted text - Great stuff, that's the bit I was looking for. (Apart from obnoxious xeir usage :P) I'm sure sooner or later someone will pull the ploy of noting their lack of 'No Block' declaration to allow them to block at any point, such as post-boost.
