[LSJ] Really stupid quiestion about official rules.

[Guest]

Archived from groups: rec.games.trading-cards.jyhad (More info?)

Some players in my playgroup don't believe that they have to play to
win. I found clearly stated rulings made by LSJ at this newsgroup, but
they don't believe even LSJ!
Can you give me a link to an official document with the rule?

Thanks in advance,
Ector

The rulebook.

Object of the Game

Your goal is to accumulate the most victory points by destroying the
influence held by rival Methuselahs. You accomplish this goal by using
your influence to gain control of younger vampires and using those
vampires to take actions to reduce the influence of rival Methuselahs.
Influence is represented by pool counters (see Equipment Needed, sec.
1.2), the main currency of the game. When a Methuselah runs out of
pool counters, she* is bereft of influence and ousted from the game.
As Methuselahs are ousted, players earn victory points; the winner is
the player with the most victory points at the end of the game (see
Victory Points, sec. 9.1).

5.2 Unsportsmanlike Conduct

Players must not play toward goals that conflict with the goal of the
game as stated in the V:TES rulebook (e.g., attacking certain players
on the basis of their V:EKN ratings or overall tournament standing,
etc.).

And see also: the google link to this article (the one you're reading
right now -- the Google URL for which I cannot provide since I am
currently in the process of composing the article):

Players (in sanction tournaments or in any other game that cares
to follow the official rules) must play to win.
