What is the most (pool) damage that can be done with 1 vote action, including modifiers?

The answer's not so hard, but fun.

Depends on the number of players sitting on the table ??? 8)

Well, during a game in Bochum some years ago, I witnessed a situation once, where one player lost about 22 pool, and was ousted, due to a single vote action... :wink:

And no, that vote did not depend on the number of players in the game...

And yes, I will later post what happened in the game... :twisted:

Well, the question is for the 'most'.

So just use whatever number will give you the most.

It's REALLY big, though.

Elder kindred network? Business pressure?

Depends I would say Reigns of Power!


But if you take Parity Shift that would mean doing a ten pool Shift in the game (take 5 pool from Methusaleh x and give 5 poolto Methusaleh y)

Elder kindered Network was not allowed. He said "modifiers" not reactions. But of course Reigns of Power combined with Scorn of Adornis is better.

I know, I know, I was just referring to Hardy's example. Whether one of those cards was used for the 22.

And I've come to realise the answer is more difficult than I thought... which is cool.

Someone has a deck with 90 Thin-Blooded Seers, played them all, and I call Anarchist Uprising.

Business Pressure on any vote can make unlimited "pool loss" in an endless game where everybody has bloated, well, endlessly.

Someone has an infinite crypt (Well, choose any number. It's legal to play that many vampires). Yong Sun burned them all (it took a while...). Then someone calls Mark of the Damned.

Cool. And without business pressure or infinite crypt tricks?

Oh, and I like your endlessly bloating comment. I thought of several tricks to get all players to infinite pool, but just using the edge and a LOT of patience will do it. But that means automaticcaly that any quiz question that does not have a time limit will have to take infinite pool resources into account.

"Pool - it's much less rare than library cards... ;)"

Of course, that leads into the quiz question of: "how many cards can you play with 1 deck?" - which is also infinite, due to waste management operation.

Good thing there's a 2 hour limit on those games. :)

Actually, in a tournament legal game, this isn't true, as White Wolf has not printed an infinite number of vampires. :)

Which makes the answer to the question a whole lot more strange than expected, though. :)
