Bidding for more pool than you have when Temptation of Greater Power is played

Can a player bid more pool than he has in response to a Temptation of Greater Power? This includes the 5 on loan from the blood bank. So for instance, a player has 5 pool, can he bid 11 even though this will oust him and he doesn't actually have 11 pool to bid? I found a post from LSJ that I think answers the question in the negative, but I wanted to confirm. Here is the post cut and pasted: •From: LSJ <vtesrep@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> •Date: Mon, 16 Jun 2008 06:49:48 -0400 ira212@xxxxxxxxx wrote: Hello LSJ, Assume Player A has no reasonable chances of getting any more VPs. Caveat for everyone's reference: this is a severe restriction. Please note that it is assumed to be true in this reply. If Player A has 4 pool and plays Temptation of Greater Power, may Player A bid 7 pool (or any number of pool greater than his total pool +5) ? If that's allowed and he does so, and he wins the bid, does control of the vampire change? No. Card text. Player A can only be credited up to 5 pool, no more. He could bid 6 pool (his remaining 1 pool after paying the cost of ToGP plus 5 on credit). If he does so, and he wins the bid, control changes. Card text. Thanks, Ira Name: Temptation of Greater Power [Jyhad:R, VTES:R, CE:R] Cardtype: Master Cost: 3 pool Master. Requires a ready justicar. Choose a vampire. Methuselahs may bid pool for control of that vampire. The winning bid is paid to the blood bank. Methuselahs may be credited up to 5 pool on the bid: winner pays 1 pool toward his or her debt during his or her discard phase until the debt is repaid. Only 1 Temptation of Greater Power can be played in a game.

Not sure what else you need from: "No. Card text. Player A can only be credited up to 5 pool, no more."

I just want to make sure there is not a conflicting ruling and that the ruling has not changed.
