[LSJ] Q on Game Of Malkav

AN item of some disagreement hereabouts of late: For Malkavian Prank, the "pool" a Methuselah holds out is actually counters representing a wager, which may be in excess of the Methuselah's current pool.[LSJ 19981023] Game of Malkav has no similar errata/clarification, so it reads: "Master. Each Methuselah holds a hand out with between 1 and 5 pool in it. In your hand, you can hold between 1 and 6 pool. Open hands simultaneously. Each Methuselah gains the amount of pool <he or she chose> unless another Methuselah chose exactly one less than he or she did, in which case, <he or she burns that amount of pool>." Our question is: is what is held out in the case of Game of Malkav actual pool, which can not exceed the Meth's remaining pool, or is it a "wager" like Malkavian Prank, which can be any amount between 1 and 5 (or 6)?

Given those choices, it is a "wager". -- LSJ (vte...@white-wolf.com) VTES Net.Rep for White Wolf, Inc.
