A player, 26 January 2012
What happens when personality is targeted by two Consideration's:
a) He has +6F and two negation effects, that are used up to negate effects one at a time, effectively fizzling two different actions ? b) He has +6F but only one effective negation effect, since both copies of Consideration trigger at "the next time" and are used up at the same moment?
Relevant text:
Open: Choose your performing unbowed Tactician and another of your target Personalities: Give the Personality +3F. After the next time this turn another player's action targets him, negate its effects.
Thank you in advance.

b).
Each Consideration's delayed effect triggers "after the next time this turn another player's action targets him," and neither effect removes this trigger. This is different to, say, Kakita Kensho-in (Experienced), whose trait creates a delayed effect that scrubs its own trigger, so that other such effects have nothing to trigger them.
See the following paragraph under Timing Sequence, which does apply to Kakita Kensho-in exp, but not to Consideration: The order of resolution means that triggered effects that come first, due to the above order, the order of Reactions, or the active player’s decision, can negate or otherwise make impossible triggered effects and Reactions that come later. When this happens, Reactions to the now nonexistent trigger may not be taken, and other effects are not triggered by it.
