(LSJ) Brinksmanship

Hi ! a simple question : I play a Felins Saboteur/Brinksmanship deck. It's a 4 player game. I oust my first prey by interfering with her withdraw, thus gaining one VP. my second prey, who made no VP (her prey did withdraw too), also succeds in her withdraw attempt -which means i'm supposed to be ousted (by brinkmanship card text). So do i somehow get the VP for being the last man standing ? does it go to my pred for ousting me while withdrawing? thanks reyda

(you predator did withdraw - Brinksmanship would oust you then) Brinksmanship Type: Political Action Cost: 1 pool Political Card - Worth 1 Vote. Called by any vampire at +1 stealth. If this referendum is successful, put this card in play. Any Methuselah who has exhausted his or her library and begins his or her untap phase with less than a full hand must attempt to withdraw. On that Methuselah's next untap phase, if the withdrawal fails, that Methuselah is ousted. If ****any**** Methuselah successfully withdraws, you are ousted.

Fabio, there is a parallel with a last bleed daring the dawn with a famous vampire, a question i asked a long time ago. see the thread there : http://minilien.com/?RMUYvLPwZU

Actually, I think Fabio is right - reyda should've been ousted already. >> >reyda wrote: >> >> I play a Felins Saboteur/Brinksmanship deck. >> >> It's a 4 player game. >> >> I oust my first prey by interfering with her withdraw, thus gaining one VP. >> >> my second prey, who made no VP (her prey did withdraw too), Players: reyda -> A -> B -> C A tries to withdraw but fails. A is ousted (1 VP reyda). C tries to withdraw and succeeds (1 VP C). At that point, the game still has 2 players and thus is still going on. Because a player successfully withdrew, reyda is ousted by his Brinksmanship (1 VP B). B is the last man standing and wins with 2 VPs. -- charles lechasseur - da...@novideospamtron.ca

Actually, the set up given (quoted above) has C withdrawing at some point in the game before the Brinksmanship is played. C withdraws (1 VP to C). Brinksmanship is played. A tries to withdraw and fails. A is ousted. (1 VP to Reyda). B withdraws (1 VP to B). A is last man standing. (1 VP to A). -- [ quoted text not captured ]

Ok, that works (it's the only way it could work so I guess it must be correct). Sorry for my confusion. >C withdraws (1 VP to C). > >Brinksmanship is played. > >A tries to withdraw and fails. A is ousted. (1 VP to Reyda). > >B withdraws (1 VP to B). > >A is last man standing. (1 VP to A). I guess you mean Reyda is last man standing (not A who was ousted earlier). ;) [ quoted text not captured ]

My confusion concerned the setup involved. I assumed that the Brinksmanship was in play *before* your predator had the chance to withdraw - it seems that Charles got it too. But if your setup is as LSJ has mentioned (reyda -> A -> B -> C, C withdraws, reyda plays Brinksmanship after that), so forget about my inquiry ;-) [ quoted text not captured ]
