For player C was situation really unpleasant. Player A have 4 vampires. 3 of them have permanent rush ability. There was a lot of time, no chance for time limit. But still have one ready vampire.

If you acknowledge that C cannot oust you and cannot hope for a time limit, then it is clear: C may self-oust. How many minions and pool he has is irrelevant.


So there is question if C really have no chance to oust me. I agree that chance was extrremely low. He needs a lot of untaps, and prevents. And player A should have no Carrion crows or Aids from Bats. But IMHO there was a chance.

Player A has Enkidu, so even without bats+crows player C is in tough spot, not to mention that it feels that player A was playing Girls with aids version like Hugh did, in that case, player A is one golconda away from additional 10+ pool.

In this case, self-oust is, I feel , completely in order, as it ensures that player C gets most points (realistically, c'mon), and NOBODY else gets more points than him.

Again, difficult to say, without actually watching the game itself.

Yes, player player A was playing Girls with aids. Player C was in very bad situation. But he still have one ready minion and his deck takes him theoretical chance to block all player A minions and kill them. I agree that it was theoretical chance and there was low probability to do it. Is it enought for player C to oust himself?

An official guideline might be in order. Does "reasonable chance" mean
a) a purely theoretical chance, as in some other player on the table has to play some very unlikely sequence of cards that are uncharacteristic to his deck,
b) a very small chance, as in you have to top deck 1-3 times in a row or
c) you're playing Legacy of Pander and your prey is playing AUS-weenie?

Theorically, by self ousting, player C may force player A to Life Boon him (A hopes to save his Game Win) with some much pool C may oust A. There is a low probability, but it exists too.
Between both two low and nearly equal probabilities, C may choose one or another.
