Time for negotiation after playing a card before terms are set

Says the man who sent Cease & Desist orders...

That kind of logic is completely wrong.
Following that, nowhere does it say
: While playing master cards, please DO NOT debate it, DO NOT fart, pick your nose, dribble spit all over it, call other players rude names, toss paper rolls on them, DO NOT jump on the playing surface to dance Macarena or headbang to imaginary powermetal while pretending to play air-guitar.

Rules are not written to EXCLUDE things. THey are written in a way to tell you what and how to do , no more no less.
So, announce you are playing a card, announce terms, pay, wrap it up and move along.

Because, following your logic, it would be completely legal to say : " I will play Pentex subversin * show card, place on table*, but to determine on who i will put it on, i will assign a random number to each ready minion on the table, and then proceed to roll d20 to see who gets the pentex"

It is stupid and silly.

The following are not explicitly allowed, disallowed or demanded by the rulebook:

• Negotiating while playing a card
• Negotiating while playing a ukulele
• Transmitting neural impulses while playing a card
• Blowing air through your larynx while playing a card

This list is not conclusive. The same can be said about the rulebook. The question of whether you're allowed to negotiate while playing a card can't be reasonably resolved by interpreting the rulebook. It's purely a matter of convention.

In a highly political multiplayer game such as V:TES, it's reasonable to argue that allowing some amount of negotiation while announcing plays is in the spirit of the game. It's also reasonable to argue that such negotiations should occur before the play.

Where does the rulebook tell you that you're allowed to deal while holding cards in your hand? Maybe you can't? Or where does the rulebook tell you that you're allowed to deal at all? Maybe Silence of Death is the only allowed play format but no one realized this until now?

I fully agree with Suoli on this.

Dealing isn't allowed when announcing stuff

Juggernaut? Johannes? Why are you still arguing this point?

Dig up.

Why the devil did you leave out the other part of the quote? The "in the mean time" part that means that Pascal is thinking about it? That's really dishonest of you.

Actually, 1.6 of the Rulebook is very clear:
You play a card by showing it to the other players and stating its effects while you doing this.

No negotiation can occur because that would interrupt this process.

It doesn't say that - it says something that has been directly quoted to this thread already and that people have been debating over. Saying it in a different way that leaves no doubt but isn't an accurate representation of what the rulebook says is not helpful.
