[lsj] Ancient Influence, and order of choosing vampires

Howdy, this unusual situation came up in a game Friday night. A certain Methuselah (Peter D. Bakija will remain nameless) was trying to trick us all into getting more pool than him so that he could Parity Shift us a lot, so he called an Ancient Influence, planning to choose his smallest vampire in order to gain less pool than us pool-grubbing bastards. So my question: when a vote like Ancient Influence is called, is there a sequence in which Methuselahs must choose their vampires? Again, this is a squirrely sort of situation that wouldn't normally come up (i.e. everyone would choose his largest vampire and be done with it), but it can when the threat of Parity Shift looms nigh... thanks in advance, Jon

Heh heh. I tell ya. That Parity Shifting action turns the game into a crazy whirlwind of madness...
