[LSJ] Questions from Austin
Ethan Burrow
Does Goratrix's special ability work on Allies?
Methuselah A has Sanguinus Instruction on a Ventrue, which Clan
Impersonated into a Daughter of Cacophony, giving that minion inferior
Melpominee. Methuselah A then gives that Sanguinus Instruction to
another Methuselah's vampire through a Succubus club. Does the new
minion now have inferior Melpominee?
Can a minion play Soul Stealing if they are going to torpor
themselves?
Which would you classify as a 'Nutpuncher' deck; a deck that has 5
disciplines, or a deck that has no hope of ousting it's prey by itself
except if the prey laughs so hard they don't notice you pushing their
pool into the blood bank?
And finally, if one were to go to sleep during the second round of a
sanctioned V:EKN tournament, having notified the judge of said nap, do
they take a loss or are they omitted from that round. Said individual
went on to play the 3rd round and receive a game win.

Yes. You can steal blood from allies (e.g. Theft of Vitae). They lose
life instead.
See [6.4.5] and the example. (Stealing blood from an ally.)

That wouldn't happen.
This is analogous to [LSJ 20010719]

At superior, sure. The only thing that stops (say) Taste of Vitae being
played then is card text.

I believe that should go to Derek Ray.

*giggle*
Unfortunately, I fear this would be covered under 3.3 (Tardiness) - 15
minutes delay and you get a loss and an ejection.

Correct.
You can move retainers and equipment that change control; others remain
as they are.

Which of your prey's vampires are you burning to enable Soul Stealing?

You mean, which one would I classify as MORE of a nut-puncher?

Clarification: If one were to drink VERY VERY HEAVILY the night before
a sanctioned V:EKN tournament, while staying up until 7am and later
playing pickup V:TES, what are the chances of an individual being forced
to take an emergency second-round nap as a result? =)

I kind of let it slide since you had 2 very aggresive play groups that are
about a 16 hour drive apart meeting half-way at the Jyhad house. Also he
let me know, and was running on a grand total of about 55 minutes of sleep.
You know sometimes a belgian waffle can do that to a man. :)

I can just imagine what would've happened if I had grits instead of
the waffle.
Oh wait, I mean....what if this *mystery* person had eaten grits
instead of a waffle, I wonder how far *he* would've gotten in the
tournament?

Aha! Morning starch overload turns into afternoon crash. He should
have gone with the sausage, eggs, bacon, ham, and onion scramble.

Or the whateverthehellitwas-and-shrimp thermonuclear self-firebomb
omelet (with extra red pepper and hot sauce =), guaranteed to leave
anyone twitching for eight hours.
