My group has started up Guild Ball and on a lark, read over the Pundit questions. Reading the timing chart in the back of the Season 3 rulebook, we came to the conclusion that in the 8-10 vKatalyst and Witness Me! example, the Alchemist's would lose, following the logic that vKatalyst's Taken-out condition would go through the full Taken Out Sequence before the additional +2 VP are gained.
We were surprised when we found out the clarification ruling was it was simultaneous and a tie, found here: http://forums.steamforged.com/index.php?/topic/33120-vet-katalyst-win-lose-or-draw/
We were wondering what the exact rules basis was for this, given the timing charts.
Apologies for bringing this back up, but we just wanted to make sure we have the rules clear as to why this ruling is as it is.
