Can I call another referendum with the same Vampire ?

The political action is canceled.
The acting vampire is untapped.
The controller of the acting vampire takes the political card (if any)
back into his or her hand.
His or her vampires become unable to take the same political action
for the remainder of the turn.
> Can I call another referendum with the same Vampire ?
Yes, unless you're using the "No Repeat Action" special floor rule
from the V:EKN Tournament Rules.

If playing with No Repeat Actions, as per tournament rules, no.

I was under the impression that a canceled action was concidered never
to have taken place therefore NRA would not apply. please clarify.

That something is cancelled does not mean it did not happen.
e.g. only one giant's blood can be played per game, even if the first
one was Suddenly Reversed.

but in another thread LSJ says
See the online rulings:
No Repeat Actions (V:EKN)
* The acting minion when the action resolves (blocked or successful)
becomes unable to perform the same type of action again this turn (if
the "No Repeat Actions"
V:EKN special floor rule is being used). [RTR 20-MAR-1997]

the delayed vote never resolved so NRA does not apply correct?
thanks

The political action reached the resolution phase (i.e., it wasn't
blocked) - it must get to that stage before Delaying Tactics can
be played. Therefore, the acting minion cannot perform another
political action again, since the one he just performed was successful
(even though the referendum was canceled).

I see so your saying that the resolution of a political action and the
resolution of a referendum are 2 different things?

since this is the case shouldn't delaying tactics be reworded
Delaying Tactics [Jyhad, V:TES]
Cardtype: Reaction
Any vampire. Only usable during a political action. The political
action is canceled. Untap the acting vampire. The controller of the
acting <vampire> takes the political card (if any) back into his or her
hand, and his or her <vampires> cannot take the same political action
this turn.
shouldn't it read only during a referendum as is the case with Elder
kindred network and pulling strings.
as it reads now my point is still valid
thanks
Eric
not arguing just trying to get this straight in my head

See [6.3.2] - "during political action" means "during referendum".

ok so 2 questions
1.why the change to pulling strings and EKN?
2.Shouldn't it read the referendum is canceled?
it specifys the action is canceled and by my logic a canceled action
never resolves therefore no NRA violation.
thanks
Eric
Getting more confused by the minute
LSJ
> 1.why the change to pulling strings and EKN?
Clarity. No real change.
> 2.Shouldn't it read the referendum is canceled?
No. For instance, you cannot Freak Drive after the politcal
action is canceled.
> it specifys the action is canceled and by my logic a canceled action
> never resolves therefore no NRA violation.
That's not the logic to use. Canceling something doesn't make
it so that it never happened. You can't use DT to cancel the PA
until it resolves, so it is still treated as resolved. See also
Sudden Reversal and Direct Intervention.

6.3.2 reads ""A card that uses the phrase"during a political action" is
typically referring to the referendum part of the political action""
using all current card texts for political reactions one could easily
conclude that Delaying Tactics is the atypical instance referred to in
section 6.3.2
