You can do it the scum-bag way with a Monocle and a pair of under-handed questions of your Predator, if you have the turns to set it up: "Will your next answer be 'Yes'?" Yes- "Will you skip your minion phase next turn?" -grrr. Yes. No- "Will you take your minion phase next turn?" -grrr. No. A few people can't quite grasp the concept of future questions, so you may get into a big argument like this. (Our group simply disallows questions about questions or questions about answers.) ------ Or, if your Predator was just ousted, you might get by with a successful Lextalionis vote (called by your new Predator's Predator, perhaps?). ----- In general, it's next to impossible to withdraw successfully.

Sure - if you can convince your predator to not bleed you. ;-) By rights, your predator is entitled to keep you from withdrawing from the game; your withdrawal would give him a stronger opponent and no victory points for his efforts so far to oust you. If you have a hand full of Telepathic Counters or other bleed reaction cards, you might be able to pull it off against your predator's wishes. But then all your predator needs is a forced- combat card (Haven Uncovered, Bum's Rush, Archon, Wynn...) to keep you in the game - and your cards won't last forever... If your deck was political, you might appease your predator by sending your minions to take votes. I'm sure he or she would enjoy a Parity Shift in his or her favor, or a Consanguineous Boon... Otherwise, just rely on your predator's good will (funny how those particular words come together ;-). papillo the bronchial
