LYNDON Phase 8
Players' Actions Do Not Matter
You have the power of inconsequence. As an ally in a challenge, there
are two challenge totals calculated. The first is the normal
calculations for the challenge totals. The second calculation only
counts tokens, Challenge Cards, and Kickers. Powers, Emotion Control,
Moons, Reinforcements, and Flares are ignored. Your personal win or
loss for the challenge only regards the second calculation. It is
possible for you to win the challenge while others on your side lose
and vice-versa. You are affected by Powers, Edicts, and Flares that
do not alter challenge totals.
History: The Lyndons look impressive, but they realize their own
incompetence. As disinterested parties in the affairs of others, they
pursue their own agenda despite all cries for the contrary from those
they support.
Do Not Use With Gambler
FLARE
Phase 8
Wild: As main player, your opponent's allies' tokens do not count
toward his challenge total.
Phase 8
Super: You may use your power as a main player.
PULSAR
Phase 8
Con: On the opposing side of Lyndon, only you and the Lyndon player
may invoke game effects to affect the second challenge total
calculation that would normally be ineffective.
Phase 8
Pro: For the second challenge calculation, you may use game effects
you control to affect the total that would normally not be effective.

Cosmic Monopoly
Place a second Monopoly token off board next to GO at game set up. On
your turn, roll two dice for movement normally for this second token
separate from your on board token. It travels around the board but
physically off board. It is unaffected by other players' powers. It
ignores all properties it lands next to as well as Income Tax, Luxury
Tax, and Go To Jail. When it lands next to or passes GO, you collect
$200 but does not trigger any other affect. When it lands next to
Free Parking you collect. When it lands next to Chance to Community
Chest, draw a card unaffected by other powers. If you would have to
pay money, ignore it and put it on the bottom of its pile normally.
If you would collect money, you do so. If the token is to be moved,
except to Jail, it does so. If it's a Go To Jail, ignore it. If
it's a Get Out Of Jail Free card, you keep it.
Commentary: This is a combat power created by me from my Presidential
series of powers. I originally allowed the power to work as a main
player as well but felt that too powerful because it essentially zaps
his opponent. Lyndon as an ally ignores the effects of Obverse,
Mirror, Calculator, and so on. Gambler is a "do not use with" because
of ambiguity of whether it qualifies as altering challenge totals.
Lyndon, as an ally, is immune to all powers that alter how a win is
determined. Assume the challenge, for the second calculation, takes
place without that power in effect. This does include Loser, Traitor,
Pacifist, Empath, and so on. Powers that affect token value, like
Macron, are also not used for computing the second challenge total,
but any secondary effects such as Fungus' adherement and Vampire's
enslavement do affect Lyndon's tokens. Should Fungus defeat Lyndon in
the second challenge total but lose in the first, Lyndon's tokens are
adhered but then get released in the warp as the Fungoid stack goes
there. If Fungus wins the regular challenge, but Lyndon wins his
second challenge total, Fungus does not adhere to Lyndon. Treat
similar powers, like Vampire, accordingly.
For all game effects a player has that involves his opponent and/or
opponent's allies having lost the challenge and thus something happens
to those losers or based upon the tokens lost, if Lyndon wins
according to his second challenge total while his main player ally and
others do lose in the first normal challenge calculation, he is not
affected by said effect nor would his tokens count for whatever result
applies. If Lyndon loses according to the second calculation but
those on his side win by the normal first challenge calculation, the
roles are reversed.
Whereas the second calculation ignores powers, etc., this does include
whatever power Lyndon's main player ally has. For example, if Lyndon
allies with main player Anti-Matter, Anti-Matter can win by lower
total also subtracting Lyndon's tokens, but for Lyndon, he has to win
in his second challenge total by having a higher total, with all
tokens being added.
Lyndon's power in multi-power games does affect his own other powers.
For example, Lyndon/Cavalry is a conflict. His Cavalry card will help
his main player ally but will have no effect on his own second
challenge calculation. As Lyndon/Fungus, if he wins the second
challenge calculation, he does adhere to the losing tokens even if
they win in the normal challenge.
