[LSJ] Referendum Questions

The following situation arose during play here in germany: Situation: Meth A calls a Disputed Territory on Meth B's Location. Meth B has 1 pool. Referendum starts, Meth B's Primogen votes against the Referendum. Meth A plays Scorn of Adonis. Now before results are tallied, Meth B loses 1 pool and is ousted. Questions: 1. Does Meth A get the location? We think no, since Meth B is ousted during the referendum and so it's no longer around at the point where the action resolves. 2. Does the referendum just end when B is ousted, since it no longer has a valid target, or does it continue as normal (interesting for Voter Caps) and he just does not get the location? I would say it just continues as normal (since it has to reach the before results are tallied stage anyway) and just has no effect since it's target is gone, but we are not sure about this. 3. What happenes with the Vote of the vampire that vanishes when B is ousted? (a google search indicated thst a vote that was cast stays around even if the vampire leaves play during the referendum). thanks for your help Michael

Scorn won't oust the player until the results are tallied, so the vote counts (if it didn't, the player wouldn't be ousted). -- LSJ (vte...@white-wolf.com) V:TES Net.Rep for White Wolf, Inc.
