No.

Yes.

Combat ends when the vampires go to torpor.
Tension in the Ranks applies immediately to all appropriate
Methuselahs. You are both ousted simultaneously.

Carpe noctem.

Tension in the ranks in play
I have 1 pool, prey has 1 pool

Our minions enter combat and both go to torpor.
We lose 1 pool each bringing our pools to zero.

As my prey is ousted, can I order the effects to gain six

pool before paying for the Tension in the ranks? Or are we both gonners?

Thanks

From the online rulebook:

9.1. Victory Points

If a player is ousted at the same time that her prey is ousted, the player
gets the ante and victory point but does not gain six pool.

To the predator of each ousted individual, as always.

No.

This one.


This is very clearly covered in the rulebook, section 9.1, which I
will quote for you:

"You get a victory point whenever the Methuselah who is your prey is
ousted (no matter how or by whom your prey was ousted). "

and

"If a player is ousted at the same time that her prey is ousted, the
player gets the ante and victory point but does not gain six pool. "

Situation: Player and prey both are ousted simultaneously. Cross table
a Life boon is played on the player.
Q1: Does he keep the VP he just got and loses an eventual next one, or
does he immediately have to give the VP to the player of the Life boon
?
Q2: Does he get the 6 pool for the oust of his pray ?

Thanks,

The latter. Similarly, if the Life Boon were played on [B] instead,
then [A] would not get the VP for [B]'s oust. Which indicates that
the Life Boon comes before the VP.

Yes.
