Has someone already thought of this? I don't recall seeing it.
Proposal: Make vampires only unique when within the same controlled
area. If two Democritii come out, they just contest titles. If I
steal your Dorian Strack, you can influence out another one.
Benefits: All the other rules stay in place just fine, the game gets
more "competitive" as people are throwing the word around these
boards, and the only thing that gets screwed is the oddball Sonja Blue
scenario. Well, I'm sure SOMETHING else gets screwed, but it's not
coming to me now.
Drawbacks: We're not really playing Jyhad/VTES anymore, but we can
call it that anyway.

Well, you'd have to deal with minion stealing somehow. And it
may not be understood easily enough as an elegant replacement.

Plus on the thematic side there is no logic to it. Twice the same vamprie in
action, and no doubt about who really controls him ? Weird...

It would be plain silly :
"I play govern the unaligned with my Democritus. Any blocks ?
Yes, my democritus plays 2nd trad to attempt to block your
democritus".

A: My Astrid votes in favor.
B: My Astrid votes against.

I don't see a discrepancy. Assuming both copies are Tremere:
A: My Astrid votes in favor.
B: My Astrid (who is a Tremere and therefor if chooses to vote, has
to vote in favor) votes - so it is a vote automatically in favor.
There may be a little sequencing involved on who gets to vote first.

Nope. Her ability doesn't affect polling.
It happens "when votes are tallied" by card text.
Set terms:
<blah>
Polling:
A: My Astrid votes in favor.
B: My Astrid votes against.
Tally votes:

Astrid, Astrid. Like I said, I'm sure I had overlooked something.
I guess we can't do this then. Well we wouldn't want to have to
issue errata on a card that has seen thousands of copies printed
already, now would we? Something like *that* would be a disaster for
the game. I mean, imagine if second tradition were to suddenly cost a
blood, or if Wake didn't get replaced until your untap phase... or if
5th Tradition got reduced to a maximum of four blood...
The *humanity*!

Actually, it's just that errata when necessary to make an improvement that
offsets the inherent drawback of "it's errata" is OK.
Nothing to do with the humanity.
