Question #1: At a 5 playe table, player A has 4 pool, and player B (A's prey) has 5 pool. Player A calls a Parity Shift affecting B. Player B plays Poison Pill. What happens if the referendum is successful?. I guess that, since the Poison Pill takes effect when the results of the vote are tallied, i.e., at the same time as the effect of Parity Shift, the acting player has the choice to order both effects, so player A gains 5 pool first (ousting player B), and then player A loses 5 pool (due to Poison Pill). I also guess that player A gains the 6 pool for having ousted player B after the action is resolved (i.e., after Poison Pill's effect). Question #2: At a 5 player table, player A calls a Parity Shift affecting his or her prey (player B), who has 3 pool left. How much pool can player A allocate between 1 or more other Methuselahs? I guess it should be 3 pool. Name: Parity Shift [Jyhad:V, VTES:V, CE:U] Cardtype: Political Action Political Card - Worth 1 Vote. Called by any prince or justicar at +1 stealth. Choose a Methuselah who has more pool than you do. Allocate X of his or her pool between 1 or more of the other Methuselahs (including you), where X is the number of Methuselahs in the game. Successful referendum means the chosen Methuselah loses that pool, and it is allocated as you announced. Greetings, Damnans -- http://www.almadrava.net/damnans http://www.vtes.net

(And then A would gain 6 for ousting B). If the distribution was such that A gained only 1 or 0 of the 5, then A would also be ousted (and not gain 6). > Question #2: > > At a 5 player table, player A calls a Parity Shift affecting his > or her prey (player B), who has 3 pool left. > > How much pool can player A allocate between 1 or more other > Methuselahs? > > I guess it should be 3 pool.
