Malkavian Prank [Jyhad, V:TES] Cardtype: Master Clan: Malkavian Master. Each {other} Methuselah holds between 1 and 4 pool in his or her hand. Guess the amount of pool in each Methuselah's hand. Each time you guess correctly, you gain that {much pool from his or her pool}. If you guess incorrectly, that Methuselah gains that much pool from the blood bank. from what i understand, each other meth holds out 2-3 pool because the card states: ...BETWEEN 1-4...that means 2-3 right? so if someone plays a prank i can only hold out 2-3 pool not 1-4 pool as some players are saying here in our local play group...need clarification for an upcoming tourny thanks

[ quoted text not captured ] BETWEEN doesn't inherently exclude the end values. Each other Methuselah holds from 1 to 4 pool in her hand. If it had meant 2-3, it would would've been written to say so ("holds 2 or 3 pool"). -- LSJ (vte...@white-wolf.com) V:TES Net.Rep for White Wolf, Inc.

A related question, do the counters come from the Meth's actual pool? If I only have 2 pool left then I can only choose 1 or 2?

If they hold 4 are guessed at 4 and have 2pool they are ousted. BTW all guesses happen then all loss/gain of pool happen. Simultanous oustings are handled normally. A -> B -> C -> D, B and C get ousted, A gets 1 VP and 6 pool, B gets 1VP, C gets ousted. Must rebuild that market madness deck. (malk time auction, lucian and TotGP) with assorted random stuff. -- I am a Bear of Very Michael F. Tomkins Little Brain, and long mdottomkins@studentdotcanberradotedudotau words bother me.

[ quoted text not captured ] I've been trying to think up something similar myself, been trying to think of what I can Malk Time Auction that doesn't cost pool that ppl would want. Progeny was one thing that sprang to mind. The other deck I was thinking of was a Malk Prank, Game of Malkav, Parity Shift deck.

BETWEEN is an English word. It means nothing in German, TTBOMK. ZWISCHEN may indeed exclude the end points by convention in German; I'll have to take your word on that. That says nothing about what BETWEEN means, however. In English, if one wishes to exclude the endpoints, one adds "exclusive" to the construction ("inclusive" being the default). For examples of BETWEEN usage (in English), see below: http://promotions.yahoo.com/promotions/yol_doritos/soundoff.html http://www.warehouse23.com/search.cgi?comp=Palco http://www.washington.edu/webinfo/htmldate.html [ quoted text not captured ]

Heh, I thought about stuff like that but when you do that, as much fun as it is, it's not likely to happen more than once because ppl won't bid for fear of getting shafted. Not that it wouldn't be fun to do it at least once.

Vote to > get rid of the Anarch, hey my parity shift passes automatically. There's also Kindred Restructure. The Anarchs should work well but I'm not sure if they'd fit given that I'd probably have quite a few masters as it is. I was thinking more "share the wealth" votes, like Party Shift and Rumors, and Cryptic Rider. I've got 1 or 2 Malk Rider Clause atm so I'll probably toss them in anyway. > > > i saw a funy thing happen once.

Oh yeah, I was planning on some of that actioin :). Buy, slap, sell. A few Graverobbing for oppourtunistic minion theft and sell. It'll be interesting to play without any real combat defense and see if it's relative inoffensiveness and dealing can keep it alive. Oh, oh, oh, I just thought of something cool, put out a Millicent Smith and Time Auction her! When someone buys her, after their next go their predator will have her. Millicent is wonderful at stalling ppl's decks.
