Let's say my prey has one blood left. I have a vamp with Fame superior Fortitude
I use Day Op to bleed. Since it's unblockabel my prey is ousted. Do I gain the
blood and then send my vamp to torpor AFTER my new prey is established or BEFOREthe next Meth becomes my prey? The main part is will I do the 3 blood loss to
my new prey or the old one that was ousetd?

Your new prey should receive the 3 pool hit from the Fame. (IMO)

I asked this question of Tom back in January, yet to recevie an official
response.
My take on it is: You go to torpor after the action, so your new Prey
loses 3 pool.
But I'm no Tom.

I freely admit that there are people on this group who are more qualified
than me on some or all of these counts. However, I feel that someone inside
the company should be the NetRep on this group, and at the moment, I am
the only person willing to fill that role. Handing it off to someone else
will probably require getting netnews installed on a host site here in
the office, but we're so understaffed that it's going pretty slowly.
(Anyone interested in working for us as a sysadmin should check out Jon
Kruger's post in rec.games.trading-cards.magic.misc, which I will crosspost
here later today.)
I'm sorry that my coverage here hasn't been as complete as it could have
been, but it basically boils down to a) the system that I use for sweeping
through the newsgroups, b) a rather pitiful expiration deadline on the site
I'm having to use for news, and c) the fact that over the last few months,
those messages I have seen have mostly fallen under the game theory and
balance topics (remember the WwEF discussions?), and that's the sort of
thing I generally don't comment on in the Magic groups, even.

We understand your difficulties, Tom, and we are not blaming you
for your absence. And you forget to state factor (d): that
you /have to/ look at hundreds of Magic posts every day.
We know that WotCoa$t cares more about Magic than Jyhad (for obvious
$$$ reasons), and you'll get flamed by your bosses if you take
time off Magic support to serve Jyhad. :-) It just can't be helped,
given the limited time and resources you have. I'm just
wondering, how many hours a day you spend in front of the terminal?

That's logical. However, my complaints are really directed at the DTR.
Everybody makes mistakes, but I would expect them to have a better track
record. I make mistakes, but the collective wisdom of this group very
rarely coughs up an incorrect answer. The DTR doesn't meet that standard.
You take the heat sometimes, as the DTR's proxy, and I commend you for
your level-headed responses.

Please don't take this as a flippant question, I mean it in all
seriousness:
Why do you feel that someone inside WotC should be the Netrep
for this group? Here's my rationale for asking this question: you
admit that there are people on the group who are more qualified to
answer Jyhad questions than you. You also are unable to read the group
and answer questions on a regular basis by your own admission, since
Magic comes first (and was indeed the job you were hired for).
You did an excellent job as the Magic netrep long before you
were hired by WotC. Many people were and are happy with the job you do.
Beth Moursund was also an excellent netrep without being hired by the
company. Unless I am out of date (which I could be since I haven't
re-joined the mailing list), she is still netrep for Jyhad-L.
It is proven by experience that one need not be a direct
employee of WotC in order to be an excellent netrep. You are the best
example of this. So why do you feel that people outside WotC should now
be excluded from this duty when by your own admission, those people are
better qualified than you for the job?
I would appreciate any answer you can give. Thank you.
