Can I use boolean expressions in my questions? Like: Do you have wake AND intercept on your hand? Does the "pertaining to the game" part exclude questions that are a little about the game and a little non-about the game? Example: Do I control the Monocle of clarity AND have you slept with my sister? =) -- /Henrik Isaksson

If you can answer it with a "yes" or a "no", I'd figure you can ask anything you want: "Does your hand contain a Wake, an Enahnced Senses, a card providing a press, and a Walk of Flame?" "No" "Ok then. Here I come..."

Here I come..." Of course, if my hand contains a Wake, Enhanced Senses, and a card providing a press, then I'm still going to answer "no" to that question. And if you make the question unintelligible enough (with multiple cross-referenced boolean values referring to this, that, AND the other such that you have to read it from an index card) I'll say "no" and then say I got confused by the question. =) -- "There's no gray.

If you don't have all of the above, the answer is "no" :-) > > And if you make the question unintelligible enough (with multiple > cross-referenced boolean values referring to this, that, AND the other > such that you have to read it from an index card) I'll say "no" and then > say I got confused by the question. =) Always a good reason to ask simple yes and no questions: "Can you stop me?" "Yes?" [ quoted text not captured ]

Or clearly defined situations behind the yes-or-no question: "Can you block a zero-stealth bleed with those 7 cards?" "If I play no combat cards and strike hands for one, can you send my vampire to torpor this turn?" [ quoted text not captured ]

[ quoted text not captured ] Way back when the game first came out, one female in our then-local group offered herself up as the Edge - whoever had it got to have her sit in their lap. Which she offered in part so she could then look at that person's hand, ask them questions, and actually learn how to play the game... or so she claimed. Amazingly enough, nobody seemed to object to this offer.. -John Flournoy
