Parity Shift: Political Action
Select a Methuselah who has more pool than you.
Divide up to X of *that* pool among all of the
Methuselahs as you see fit, where X is the
number of Methuselahs in the game.
Is that : divide up to X of the difference
or : divide up to X of the whole pool
e.g.: I have 3 pool, my prey has 6, and there are
five Methuselahs in the game. Can I divide up
five of my prey's pool, or only three?

The "That Pool" can also be correctly interpretted (as far as grammar is
involved) to refer to the "more pool" - i.e. the excess itself.
My example was unfortunately ambiguous, try:
e.g.: I have 2 pool, my prey has 6, and there are
five Methuselahs in the game. Can I divide up
five of my prey's pool, or only four (six minus two)?
We currently play the way you suggest, I was just wondering what the
rulling was on the other interpretation.

"That pool" refers to the pool of the Methuselah you have selected, not
your pool.
