[INWO-list] rules questions

Hi Stephen,
glad to hear you're still playing :)

>1)       A player makes an attack with a + 10 card which increases the 
>power
>of the action by 10. Does AWHFY have to over power the action or the power
>of the group?
Yes.

>2)       A player (Homer) makes an automatic takeover. Another player 
>(Bart)
>plays "Or Kill Me" and steals his illuminati token which prevents Bart from
>doing anything else for the remainder of the turn. Homer then knocks and
>declares victory. Is Bart allowed to attempt to thwart Homer's victory?
Bart isn't allowed to do much.
If you read OKM he is prevented from taking actions and free moves. Actions 
are, well, actions, and there are a list of free moves in the handbook (you 
can find version 1.2 on SJGs website, or via my site 
http://home.worldonline.dk/nyskes ). Free moves include drawing plots, 
creating links, trading cards and discarding.
I think that leaves his hands pretty tied, but you never know.....

>3)       Homer's turn starts. Bart plays Senate Investigating Committee on
>Homer. Is Homer's turn over immediately? Can other players (including Bart)
>play as if it is still the "Beginning" of Homer's turn? Are the other 
>phases
>of Homer's turn skipped?
Homers turn ends immidiately. That kills all phases, and the chance to 
declare victory! (Power grab works in the same way). The game immidiately 
fast forrwards into the next players turn (well, except for the chance to 
cancel) - meaning that any players who wanted to sneak in some plots before 
then are out of luck.

>4)       Homer plays "Or Kill Me" during the main phase of his own turn. 
>Are
>the other phases of Homer's turn skipped? Can Homer declare victory on a
>turn that he played "Or Kill Me"
OKM does not end the turn like SEC does. He still gets his phases, and as 
declaring victory is not a free move, he can do that too.

Happy to be of service :)

Oh - and how to play chat?
Well, it requires trust, as there is no specific chat tool.
But other than that, you just play and write a lot. Some special chat rooms 
have dice rolling features, but otherwize you can have the 2 least involved 
players roll 1 dice each for any attack that occurs.

I know 2 swedes who have been looking for a chat game. Let me know if you 
(and yours) are interested.

Cheers
Martin
