This nearly happened the other day... What happens if a Political Flux
goes through (say, to make the award for the next ousting 12 instead of
6) and then two players are ousted at once (e.g. due to a vote,
Consanguinous Condem. or similar?)

Assuming that both of the predators of those ousted stay alive
long enough to get the blood prize, I would rule that both get the
Fluxed prize.

Hello Daniel.
First, a minor point, is that Con. Condemnation in and of itself will not oust
people. But, say for instance a Kine Resources Contested was played on your
prey and the guy to his immediate left, both of whom only had two pool and the
vote got through. The way we play it at home is to have the vote work to the
best benefit of the Meth that called the successful vote. As he decided the
vote, he decided the outcome. In that case, he would naturally choose that his
prey went out first, getting him 12 pool and a vp, then the next guy, now his
prey goes out for another 6 pool and another vp. This way the meth who
called the vote nets 18 pool, 2 vp's, and the undying hatred of the rest of the
table, wherein Mr. Swifty Politician gets his butt kicked and that is the end.
Political actions are powerful stuff, and situations like this are rare in the
extreme. This vote probably would not have succeded as the rest of the players
would have fought to prevent it. But generally where two outcomes can occur
on the results of the same vote, it is the Meth who called the vote's choice.
It does not make sense nor for rapid gaming to let the other Meth's decide the
outcome.
Hopefully, WotC will clarify these situations or the resident Hall of Famers
here will give you something that you can work with. 'Till then though, try
this.
Good luck and goood gaming,

This is COMPLETY wrong. WoTC ruling is that the oustings are SIMELTANIOUS.
The ruling concerning this is that victory points are accumlated the minute
the ousting happens, the blood the minute after.
Therefore, if you oust your prey and your prey's prey, you'd get the
victory point for your prey and your prey would get the victory point
for his prey. However, only you would collect blood, since your prey
is no longer in the game to collect his portion of the blood. Therefore,
you would get 6 blood (1-12 with parity shift is involed) and 1 victory
point, your prey gets 1 victory point. No buts, arguements, etc. This
is official
Unofficial is this: What would happen if parity shift was involved? My
personal answer (not neccessarily correct) is that since oustings count
simeltaniously, for better or for worse the parity shift would give
blood to both people. This is completly debatle.

Since Parity Shift can only oust one player, I'm not sure what the
question is.
