A player, 14 February 2011
Hi there,
What will happen in the case player A doesn't have any personality in play, player B has lots, with this event?
So in player's A turn he will add a -1C token to none of his personalities (because he doesn't own one) and one -1C token to one of player's B personalities, right?
And what about in player's B turn? He will add a -1C token to one of his own personalities and then, since player A doesn't have any personality he will have to choose another one of his own personalities to add a -1C token to it?
Rampant Plague All players give one -1C Plague token to one of their own Personalities and any one other Personality in play. During each of your Events Phases, all players must repeat this. A player may, during his Dynasty Phase, destroy all of his Personalities with Plague tokens and becomes immune to the plague. He cannot be the target of plague tokens this game. When all players are immune, the plague ends.

Yes, all of the above is correct.
