lien on your hand. (3-3)
.LI
Destiny pile significates system attacked; not necessarily
player (You may never challenge another player in neither of
your systems) (3-4) (Quote it)
(Zed: So if by Overtime you have 5 bases in one system and
all the moons in that system as well, you must pass.)
In two player games, both players may attack anywhere they
have a legitimate challenge. (4-5)
.LI
Allies can communicate generally, but specifics are
improper. (4-14)
.LI
A challenge begins with the release of a token from the
warp. (4-15)
.LI
A flare can be played multiple times during one challenge
unless otherwise specified. (4-15)

The offensive player MAY continue a challenge with no
tokens, if he were, say, tortured out by the Wrack. (4-16)
.LI
Yes, you MAY "cycle" Immediate moons, ie, attack it with
tokens removed from it for the attack, and gain its effect
again. (4-16)
.LI
The value of the tokens in the cone is not restricted; their
number is.  (But Macron STILL can't bring more than one.)
(4-17 #25)
.LI
Information you've acquired about someone's hand for example
can't be sold except as a side-deal during a deal. (4-17
#29)
.LI
Power loss is immediate upon loss of third base, before the
tokens even go to the warp. (4-16 #27)
.LI
Players should not be considered under obligation to remind
others to use their mandatory powers (eg Assassin, Vulch).
(5-10) (Zed: But should with Macron, Virus, etc.)
.LI
"All Flares are voluntary regardless of the underlying
power." (5-11)
.LI
There is no limit to the number of times an edict can be

opponent, the Insect may pick it up, etc. (6-8)
.LE
.LI
Rules Concerning Powers
.VL 15
.LI "AMOEBA"
Yes, the Amoeba can ooze entirely out of the cone (which
means he's attacking with zero tokens added to the total;
with zero tokens at risk; and if he wins, zero tokens will
occupy, so that despite having had a successful challenge,
he wouldn't gain a base.) (5-6)
.LI "ANTI-MATTER"
Yes, the Anti-Matter and his opponent ADD Lucre to their
totals (4-3).
.LI "ARISTOCRAT"
.LI "ASSASSIN"
.LI "ASSESSOR"
.DL
.LI
When against the Boomerang, the Boomerang challenge precedes
the offensive Assessor's tax deal. (4-5)
.LI
If you have no tokens on bases, you need not pay the
Assessor, since it specifies "from base."  (4-15)
.LE
.LI "AURA"
.DL
.LI
Does NOT reveal the Miser's hoard. (Aura specifies regular
hand.) (4-15)
.LI
No, the wild Aura may NOT "shuffle the deck as often as he
likes in order to get a card he likes on top."  He must
shuffle, THEN reverse. (4-16 #19)
.LE
.LI "BOOMERANG"
When against Assessor, Boomerang challenge precedes
Assessor's tax deal. (4-5)
.LI "BULLY"
Can't force co-occupancy of a moon. (2-5)
.LI "BUTLER"
.DL
.LI
DOES count as "any other player" when flipping for the
Dictator. (4-16)
.LI
CAN position the cone where the deadbeat offender already
has a base; so long as a legitimate challenge can be made
there (ie so long as there is another player there if it is
the offender's home system, or there are tokens of the
player whose system it is there). (5-8)
.LE
.LI "CALCULATOR"
.DL
.LI
Calculator power precedes Wild Calculator, Excise Moon,
etc., due to the "revealed as" wording. (But Wild
Calculator-Excise conflicts are resolved by the conflict
resolution rules, based on the position of the players).
(4-5)
.LI
Against Deuce, Calculation is performed on Deuce's first
card, and his side card is figured in afterwards. (5-8)
Insect w/ Wild Calculator vs. Calculator: Whether the
Insect's Calculation by power or by flare occurs first
depends upon the order in which he plays them. (6-6)
.LE
.LI "CHANGELING"
Yes, the Changeling's change is "permanent." (ie does not
revert at challenge's end) (3-4)
.LI "CHRONOS"

Chronos's victims' kickers are put aside with their
challenge card, and returned with the challenge card at the
challenge's end. (4-6) (5-8)
.LI
Against Deuce, only the Deuce's first card is put aside.
The second may be picked up and played again as the first or
second card. (4-10)
.LI
Yes, the Visionary can tell Chronos what to play the second
time around. (4-16)
.LI
The Wild Chronos affects only the first PHYSICAL flip of the
disc, so if someone flips his own color and passes and flips
again, the Chronos can't affect that flip. (4-17 #21)
.LE
.LI "CLONE"
.LI "CRYSTAL"
.DL
.LI
The Crystal can force the Macron to bring 1-4 tokens. (4-14)
.LI
A challenge cancelled by the Super Crystal's arrangements
does not count as one of a player's two challenges. (5-8)
.LI
"The Crystal acts on each player as or after he or she
enters the cone (it's option) and affects the Wild
Doppleganger players similarly (as to number)" (5-11)
.LE
.LI "DELEGATOR"
Involved in challenge, includes as ally. (5-8)
.LI "DEMON"
.DL
.LI
If Victory Boon is played after an attack with the Wild
Demon, only the defensive player picked is rewarded. (2-5)
.LI
No, the Wild Demon never lets you pick yourself as the
defensive player. (4-11)
.LE
.LI "DEUCE"
.DL
.LI
Against Chronos, only the first card is set aside.  The
second may be picked up and played again as the first or
second card. (4-10) (5-8)
.LI
The Laser selects only the first card. (4-14) (5-8)
.LI
The Deuce's Kicker affects only one card.  The other is then
added to the kicked first card. (4-17 #23)
.LI
When the Deuce only has one challenge card, and thus must
draw a new hand, the one challenge card is discarded with
the rest. (5-7)
.LI
The Sorcerer may not switch the side card.
It must be an attack (if possible) if the Loser has called
an upset.
The Oracle may NOT look at it.
The Visionary MAY perceive it.
.LI
Against Calculator, the Deuce's side card "is figured in
after the totals (including Calculation) are arrived
at."(5-8)
.LI
Witch's curses affect the side card as appropriate (eg All
your attack cards are worth 2.) (5-8)
.LI
If a player's turn ends due to lack of challenge cards, he
MAY use the Wild Deuce to take another challenge, at the
beginning of which he discards his old cards and takes a new
hand. (5-8)
.LE
.LI "DICTATOR"
.DL
.LI
Yes, the Dictator may force a player to attack where he
already has a base, so long as there is another player there
to defend; any other player if it's the Dictator's victim's
home system; or the player whose system it's in if it's any
other system. (4-5)
.LI
Yes, the Butler counts as "any other player" even when
flipping FOR the Dictator. (4-16)
.LE
.LI "DIPLOMAT"
.LI "DISEASE"
.LI "DOPPLEGANGER"
.DL
.LI
House rule suggestion: If you want to let Doppleganger keep
Flares/Kickers normally, make super Can buy 2 cards for 1
lucre (4 card maximum) (3-4)
.LI
May keep Kickers. (4-3)
.LI
If Doppleganger's defensive victim runs out of challenge
cards, he must draw a new hand; the Doppleganger may not
force the card he rejects back upon him to prevent him from
doing so.  If his offensive victim runs out of challenge
cards, that victim's turn ends, and Doppleganger discards
those cards. (5-8)
.LI
When Silenced, the Doppleganger is required to draw from the
deck, unless another player offers and he accepts. (5-11)
.LI
The Crystal affects the Wild Doppleganger normally. (5-11)
.LE
.LI "DRAGON"
You do not receive an extra 4 Lucre for becoming the Dragon
later in the game than the beginning. (3-4)
.LI "EMPATH"
.LI "ETHIC"
Stellar Gas stops Ethic's consolation.  (4-14)
.LI "EXTORTIONIST"
.DL
.LI
The Extortionist may never profit from another player's Wild
Filching.  Either he catches him and all the cards go back,
or he doesn't, and thus can't extort.  (4-11)
.LI
The Miser's Hoard, but not his regular hand is immune. (5-6)
.LE
.LI "FILCH"
.DL
.LI
The Negator may negate another's decision to catch him Wild
Filching, as can the Silencer silence another player trying
to catch him.  The Extortionist can't profit from another's
Wild Filching, as, if he admits to having caught the Wild
Filch, all the Wild Filch's acquisitions return to the deck.
(4-11)
.LI
No, Wild Filch may NOT steal Lucre. (4-15)
.LE
.LI "FILTH"
.DL
.LI
Wild Filth may not be used against moons; super may. (2-5)
.LI
When the Filth Power changes hands,  everyone sharing bases
with the new Filth must evacuate, of course. (5-4)
.LE
.LI "FORCE"
May limit, but not negate powers (3-3)(quote it)
.LI "FUNGUS"
If the Wild Fungus is used against the Fungus, any Fungus
stacks count as one for the Wild Fungus player (and the
stakcs return to the Fungus if the Wild card is lost).
Likewise, if the Wild Schizoid is used against the Fungus,
any Fungus stacks count as one for the Wild Schizoid (and
remains a stack until broken in the warp).  (4-15/5-3)
.LI "GAMBLER"
.DL
.LI
The Gambler sees his opponent's card before bluffing. (4-15)
.LI
Yes, the Super Gambler may put more tokens at risk than he
has out of the warp. (5-8)
.LE
.LI "GRUDGE"
.LI "HEALER"
.LI "HURTZ"
.DL
.LI
When the Hurtz leases a moon, it is put in the leaser's
system.  Since it will go away at the end of the challenge,
Immediate moons are probably more useful than others. (4-6)
.LI
Yes, Hurtz can advertise, but no, he may not let others look
through the deck(s) or read things over before renting them.
The deck is shuffled after he looks through it; he gets no
special knowledge of what's coming up -- he's no Aristocrat
or Wild Mind. (5-6)
.LI
Officially, in a single-power game, a power rented from
Hurtz becomes your sole power. For example, if you were the
Mutant, and rented the Reincarnator, and you lost, you'd
draw a new power and keep that, discarding the Reincarnator
and the Mutant. (5-6)
.LE
.LI "INSECT"
.DL
.LI
"The Super Insect has total flexibility.  If he wants to go
first, no problem.  He flashes the Flare and goes ahead.  If
he wants to go second, he simply waits for his opponent to
go first (flashing the Flare if he is the offensive player
and would normally go first) and then follows him.  Even if
the opponent doesn't use his power when he has the chance,
the Super Insect can then go ahead and use it anyway since
it is still 'before' his opponent has used his power.
Finally, the Super Insect isn't forced to use the power if
his opponent does and the Insect has declared he will do so
afterwards.  The Flare specifies he 'may' use the power and
affects only the timing of his option, not his free will to
decide.  (Besides, it's more fun that way, and you don't get
to be a Super Insect very often.)" (2-4)
.LI
The Wild Insect must be discarded despite the Keeper. (4-15)
.LI
Insect vs. Butler: defensive player performs for the
offensive player (6-5)
.LI
Insect w/ Wild Calculator vs. Calculator: The precendence by
which the Insect's use of the Power Calculator and the Flare
Calculator is determined is by the order in which he plays
them. (6-6)
.LE
.LI "JUDGE"
.LI "LASER"
.DL
.LI
When against the Miser, the Miser chooses which hand is
lased. (1-3)
.LI
May use the Wild Magnet to have cards separated from those
to be lased (3-4).
.LI
Selects only the first of the Decue's cards.  (4-14)
.LE
.LI "LLOYD"
.DL
.LI
The Wild Lloyd does NOT need money to spend money. (4-15)
.LI
The Wild Lloyd MAY be used to pay, for example, the
Extortionist or the Ethic, whose powers aren't such that
you're explicitly "required" to pay them. (At least that's
what I think it means.) (5-8)
.LE
.LI "LOSER"
.DL
.LI
If the Witch makes the Flare Loser into something else, it
CAN be discarded. (2-3)
.LI
A zapped Super Loser does NOT lose a base, as the Flare
Loser isn't considered to enter his hand. (4-15)
.LI
If an upset has been called, BOTH the Deuce's cards must be
attacks, if possible. (5-8)
(Zed:  Likewise, I would rule that if the Witch made the
Flare Loser into something else for more than one player,
and it moved from one of the cursed players' hands to
another's during the spell, the recipient would not be
affected.)
.LI
If a tie occurs in an upset challenge, offense wins. (6-5)
.LI
If the Loser wins with a Compromise, he collects no
consolation, as no tokens were lost. (Zed: Likewise for his
opponent, I would assume.) (6-6)
.LE
.LI "MACHINE"
.DL
.LI
CAN be stopped by Wild Pacifist (2-5)
.LI
The Machine's Timegash is only good for one challenge. (5-6)
.LI
When the Wild Machine makes you stack your hand, you don't
have to let people see how many non-challenge cards you have
if you're sufficiently dextrous. (5-8)
.LI
Kickers are stacked with challenge cards when you're
stacking. (5-8)
.LI
If cards are to be drawn from a stacked hand, he may NOT
shuffle in his challenge cards, but should put his
non-challenge cards on either or both ends. (5-8)
(Zed: He should be able to stick in his non-challenge cards;
let it be drawn from, and restack.)
.LE
.LI "MACRON"
.DL
.LI
Yes, the Macron IS mandatory, and can't bring more than one
token into the cone. (3-3)
.LI
The Crystal can force the Macron to bring 1-4 tokens. (4-14)
.LI
Moon Boon is worth 5 to the Macron; Mini Mac Moon makes his
tokens worth 2. (4-17 #25)
.LE
.LI "MAGNET"
Wild Magnet can stop an Edict, Flare or Kicker (2-5)
..but it must be a specific one, eg Cosmic Zap (4-16 #14)
and can be circumvented in its attempt to prevent a player
from playing a compromise by the Wild Mesmer, as it can
repel either the Wild Mesmer or the compromise, but not
both. (5-11)
.LI "MESMER"
.DL
.LI
May change edicts into "play at any time" edicts and use
them even when there is a lien on his hand. (3-3)
.LI
When a player tries to use a Wild Flare at the same time the
Super Mesmer does (Zed: eg Wild Dictator) conflict
resolution rules are in effect. (4-16 #15)
.LI
Yes, the Wild Mesmer can circumvent the Wild Magnet, which
may dictate that a player can't play a compromise or that he
can't play the Wild Mesmer, but not both. (5-11)
.LE
.LI "MIND"
Mind CAN look at both the Miser's hand and his hoard in one
challenge. (4-15)
.LI "MISER"
.DL
.LI
Chooses which hand Laser lases (1-3)
.LI
No conflict with a 6-player game if you have all the
expansion sets. (3-4)
.LI
Mind CAN look at both the Miser's hand and his hoard in one
challenge. "The hoard is not subject to loss because of
other powers, but a look, yes." (4-15)
.LI
The Miser's hoard but not his hand is immune to the
Extortionist. (5-6)
.LE
.LI "MUTANT"
Super mutant discards the Flare Mutant when its used.(3-4)
.LI "NEGATOR"
.DL
.LI
If decider is specific in his decision, he may make a
different decision, if general, he may not. (3-3)
.LI
If the Negator is caught Wild Filching, he may negate a
player's decision to catch him. (4-11)
.LI
Yes, the Negator can negate another's decision to pass upon
flipping his own color, and could negate the decision of a
player attacking in the player's own system as to which
color to attack.  (4-11)
.LI
Do's and don'ts on Negator.  (quote it) (4-15), (4-16 #11)
(5-6)
.LI
"A 'Between challenges' event comes at the end of the
previous challenge, so certainly the Negator can affect
those events." (5-11)
.LE
.LI "ORACLE"
.DL
.LI
The Flare Oracle, when invoked, is shuffled in, too. (4-15)
.LI
The Oracle does look at both his opponent's card and kicker
before playing his card, but may not play a kicker after
having done so. (4-16),(5-6)
.LI
Against Deuce, only his first card is seen. (5-8)
.LE
.LI "PACIFIST"
.DL
.LI
Wild Pacifist CAN stop Machine (2-5) (6-8)
.LI
No, the Pacifist does NOT collect consolation when he wins
with a Compromise; he loses no tokens. (5-6)
.LE
.LI "PARASITE"
.DL
.LI
A player isn't considered to have lost his power due to the
Wild Reincarnator, nor does a Wild Witch user ever lose his
power.  (4-11)
.LI
Yes, a person can use Flare Parasite despite losing his own
power(s). (4-17 #20)
.LE
.LI "PHILANTHROPIST"
The Philanthropist CAN give away the card the Visionary told
him to play. (4-17)
.LI "PIRATE"
.DL
.LI
Pirate victims can use most challenge affecting powers (eg
Mind, Chronos, Seeker), save those that would be
inappropriate (ie alliance or token affecting powers (eg
Virus, Anti-Matter, Macron) (1-3)(quote it)
.LI
Yes, he counts his Lucre in a raid. (4-3)
.LI
Yes, the Wild Pirate can hint.  No, if he loses the card the
treasure no longer exists.  He may choose whether to
announce that he is planting the treasure. (4-15/5-3)
.LE
.LI "PLANT"
.LI "PROPHET"
.LI "REINCARNATOR"
.DL
.LI
One isn't considered to have lost his power due to the Wild
Reincarnator.  (4-11)
.LI
Reincarnator must lose before he gets a power. (4-16)
.LI
The Reincarnator represents a multiple power of sorts, his
current incarnation, and his Reincarnator power.  Thus,
either or both powers could be zapped during one challenge.
(It would take two zaps to zap both.)  If the Reincarnator
is zapped, it doesn't get a new power (or, if it's zapped
the first time it loses, it doesn't get one.) (5-7)
.LE
.LI "SCHIZOID"
.DL
.LI
May include loss of power in victory condition (Keeps itself
from victory until it loses its power)(And then normal
victory rules apply) (1-3)
.LI
If you want a minimum number of required external bases, set
a house rule (3-3)
.LI
For discussion, see (5-6 - 5-7) (6-9)
.LI
When the Schizoid's terms become invalid (eg the condition
was occupy 2 moons, and Vanish eradicates the moons) the
game can only be won through the normal conditions upon the
Schizoid's loss of his power.  And "does not require memory
of previous events" allows memory up to and including the
beginning of the challenge, so if the condition is 4 bases
and plays a Mobius Tubes, a player can win by playing a
Tubes and taking his fourth base later that challenge.
(5-11)
.LE
.LI "SEEKER"
.DL
.LI
If someone lies to the Seeker, "tar, feather, and throw out
of the game.  Seeker wins immediately." (4-16)
.LI
It is legitimate for the Seeker to ask about, for example,
"intent to win," (and his victim must answer immediately),
but, it is, of course, difficult to prove or disprove
"intent to win." (5-6)
.LI
It is also legitimate to ask "Will you win with a solo
victory", and though the victim must attempt to abide by
your answer, circumstances beyond your control may force you
to break your word. (6-8)
.LE
.LI "SILENCER"
.DL
.LI
If the Silencer is caught Wild Filching, he may silence a
player who attempts to catch him.  (4-11)
.LI
Penalty if you speak when silenced is "you are tarred,
feathered and thrown out of the game." (4-17 #24)
.LI
When the Doppleganger is silenced, he must draw from the
deck unless a player offers him cards and he accepts. (5-11)
.LI
The Gambler's card declaration is given despite Silencing
(5-11) (Zed: And the Skeptic and Seeker are impotent)
.LE
.LI "SIREN"
.DL
.LI
The Siren can lure even if her color was flipped.  (4-15)

If more than one of the cards the Wild Siren lured is drawn,
she gets all of them. (5-8)
.LE
.LI "SKEPTIC"
.DL
.LI
Offensive Skeptic can't doubt in a moon challenge (as card

has out of the warp. (5-8)
.LE
.LI "SNIVELER"
.LI "SORCERER"

.LI
No, the Sorcerer does NOT switch kickers. (6-6)

.LI "TERRORIST"
.DL
.LI
Can NOT mine moons. (2-5)
.LI
A Cosmic Zap stops a Terrorist Bomb! (4-15) (Even if the
terrorist is out of the game) (4-16)
.LI
A Cosmic Zap also stops the Terrorist from planting more
bombs, for a challenge. (4-16)
.LI
Yes, the Terrorist can set off his own bombs. (5-8)
.LE
.LI "TRADER"
.DL
.LI
Yes, with Trader vs. Vulch, the following scenario is
possible: "Trader Plagues Machine.  Vulch picks up Plague.
Trader plays Finder on Plague, and Plagues Machine again.
Vulch picks up Plague and Finder. Trader trades hands with
the Vullch and Plagues Machine.  Vulch picks up the Plague
and the Trader finds it again.  He now plagues Machine for
the fourth time.  Vulch picks it up, and Plagues Machine
himself." (6-9)
.LI
Trader may only trade once per challenge. (6-9)
.LE
.LI "VACUUM"
.DL
.LI
The Wild Vaccuum gets two tokens if two attack cards were
played. (4-15)
.LI
Because power loss is immediate upon the loss of the third
base, the Vaccuum can't suck tokens corresponding to those
he lost defending his third base. (4-17 #27)
.LI
Yes, the Super Vacuum CAN prevent a win if it's fast enough.
(5-11)
.LE
.LI "VISIONARY"
.DL
.LI
Yes, the Visionary CAN tell the Chronos what to play the
second time around. (4-16)

.LI "VIRUS"
.LI "VOID"
.DL
.LI
The Zombie IS exempt from the Void. (4-14)
.LI
Despite the fact that the Force could conceivably get a
player with > 15 eradicated tokens back into the game,
unless the Force acts immediately, he IS out of the game.
"The bases [in the eradicated player's system] remain but
have no further challenge possibilities against the Void."
(5-11) (Zed: So if the Void flips this color he passes? and
others don't???)
.LE
.LI "VULCH"
.DL
.LI
The Wild Vulch vs. the Vulch CAN create an 'endless' loop if
the Vulch offers an edict, the Wild Vulch refuses it and
discards it; the Vulch picks it up; the Vulch offers an
edict...  One of them has to give up.  (4-15)
.LI
The Vulch CAN pick up a rebirth and play it immediately
(between challenges). (5-10)
.LI
.. or may play any other edict immediately upon picking it
up (if it can be played) (6-8)
.LI
Yes, with Trader vs. Vulch, the following scenario is
possible: "Trader Plagues Machine.  Vulch picks up Plague.
Trader plays Finder on Plague, and Plagues Machine again.
Vulch picks up Plague and Finder. Trader trades hands with
the Vullch and Plagues Machine.  Vulch picks up the Plague

.LI
The Wild Witch holder is never considered to have lost his
power. (4-11)

.DL
.LI
The Wild Worm can't be used to move another's tokens.

has a base (so long as the worm has a base there too). (5-7)
.LE
.LI "WRACK"
.DL
.LI
If a defensive Wrack tortures the offender out of the cone,
he's used up his tortures and loses, the offender doesn't
get a base, having no tokens which which to occupy.  It is
considered a successful challenge regardless.  (4-9)
.LI
Yes, the Wild Wrack can "turn off" a mandatory power.  "It's
like a ransomable zap." (4-16 #18)
.LI
If the defensive Wrack tortures all of the offender's
challenge cards out of his hand, the offender's turn ends
immediately.  If this is done on the Wrack's last torture,
the offender wins and occupies, but his turn still ends.
(5-6)
.LI
The Wild Wrack automatically becomes unusable after
challenge resolution, as there will be zero tokens in the
cone. (5-10)
(Zed: Presumably any time the defender against an Offensive
Wrack ran out of challenge cards, he'd draw a new hand.)
.LI
No, the Wrack may not change his deal offer between
tortures. (6-10)
.LE
.LI "ZOMBIE"
.DL
.LI
IS exempt from the Void. (4-14)
.LI
DOES get consolation despite not losing tokens to the warp.
(He loses tokens, just not to the Warp.) (4-16)
.LI
The Zombie is relatively immune to the Wild Wrack, as he
loses tokens to other bases instead of the warp, so won't
lose his power due to it. (5-8)

Edicts
.VL 15
.LI "Finder:"
May not be used to find a kicker that's been played
down; may not be kept when it finds the Flare Clone.
.LI "Victory Boon:"
If played after an attack with the Wild
Demon, only the defensive player picked is rewarded. (2-5)
Can be played before or after consolation. (4-14)
.LI "Rebirth:"
As it must be played before a player's opportunity
to take a token out of the warp or play a Break or Tubes, if
a player has no more than one token on all his bases, he
would have to vacate a base to play a Rebirth. (3-5)
.LI "Stellar Gas:"
Stops even the Ethic's consolation. (4-14)
.LI "Sanity:"
 Should be played before the flip of the disc.
(4-14)
.LI "Timegash:"
 When played by Machine is still only good for one
challenge. (5-6)
.LI "Moon Boon:"
Can be put in the cone; only counts as 1 of 4
tokens, but is still worth 5. (4-5)
..even to the Macron (4-17 #25)
.LI "Big Bang:"
Lucre does not precipitate it. (2-4)
.LI "Mini Mac Moon:"
Worth 2 even to Macron. (4-17 #25)
.LI "Moonzap:"
DOES overcome Vanish or Purity, but, like any
other zapped discard after use moons, they are NOT
discarded.  Zapped secret moons are as if they are still
unrevealed, zapped immediate moons have no effect until
tokens again land there; zapped constant moons go into
effect again at the beginning of the next challenge. (4-5)
"The clear implication here [moon powers] is to continue
within the SPIRIT of the instructions" (Purity DOES kill
Lucre and Kickers; Moon Flare's flare comes from the flare
deck, not expansion set 4)

Special Stuff on The Schizoid


    The Schizoid is one of my favorite powers (much to the consternation of
everyone else).  House rules are not necessary to your situation, as the Power
Card _plainly_ states that the winning conditions must be obvious to everyone
as they happen.  So unless the Aura is in the game, conditions about cards are
generally not obvious; e.g., if the conditions are "have 3 external bases and
2 Edicts in your hand", this is INVALID.
    However, the winning conditions can be as whacko as the general restrictions
allow.  For another example, if everyone playing wears glasses, the winning
conditions _can_ be "have two external bases and remove your glasses".


MORE INVALID CONDITIONS AND WHY NOT:

  "Have 12 tokens in the warp and tie your shoes".  The number of external
bases _must_ be one of the two conditions.

  "Have 3 external bases and have asked the Schizoid two questions".  This
requires remembering an historic event.

  "Have 4 external bases and ooze completely out of a challenge".  Only the
Amoeba can fulfill the latter condition, and everyone must have the chance of
winning.  However, if both Amoeba and Changeling are in the game...

  "Have 2 external bases and think evil thoughts about the Shizoid".  NOT
OBVIOUS AS IT HAPPENS, no matter how probable.

  "Have 4 external bases and no more than 2 home bases".  The Schizoid cannot
meet this winning condition and keep their power, thus violating the "everybody
has to be able to meet the conditions" condition.


VALID CONDITIONS THAT WON'T WIN YOU ANY FRIENDS:

  "Have 1 external base and say something in French".

  "Have 2 external bases and know the winning conditions".  Despite vehement
protests, this is valid, as everyone asks yes-or-no questions of the Schizoid,
and there are also several powers which allow for direct reading of them.  It
can get ugly, but it is valid.  As the condition _must_ be obvious as it
happens, the conditions _must_ have passed hands or be explicitly stated as
the yes-or-no question (tho an argument could be made for this being "historic
knowledge").

  "Have 5 external bases and Zap the Schizoid".  This is the default winning
condition for any tougher conditions.

  "Have 1 external base and _be_ the Changeling".  Valid only when the
Changeling is in the game, obviously.


  Remember, if you have the number of external bases be greater than 5, the
default winning conditions generally become 5-&-Zap.
