Troublesome situation:
Meth B has 2 pool
Meth A bleeds Meth B for one.
Meth B doesn't block.
Meth A asks Meth C will he play ES or other card allowing him to
block.

Is the answer from Meth C mandatory at this point?
If Meth C says he will not block can he block after B boosts his
bleed?

Thanks,

B.

Yes. "Declining to block" is an Effect.

No.
The decision not to block is final (unless the target of the action is
changed).

According to this, all players need to eventually declare no blocks,
after which you can play action modifiers. If a player has declared no
blocks Eagle's Sight can't override that decision.

Unfortunately, yes.

Just to clarify:
So, the upshot is A was smart to ask if C would block? If A boosted
the bleed without asking after receiving 'No Block' from B, could C
block? Should fictional A always ask C, D, E in case one of them plays
Eagle's Sight?

Right.

Note that asking for "Any blocks?" and waiting to observe a period of
attentive silence from B, C, D, and E is often sufficient for B (who
will likely be vocal about "no block") and C, D, and E to confirm
their decisions not to block.

That is, C can't silently forego xeir impulse in the hopes of drawing
out the boost before blocking.

Great stuff, that's the bit I was looking for. (Apart from obnoxious
xeir usage :P) I'm sure sooner or later someone will pull the ploy of
noting their lack of 'No Block' declaration to allow them to block at
any point, such as post-boost.
