I've been toying around with Chopper (pilot) lately and after facing a Paratanni list I got a peculiar situation. I managed to get Chopper into position where both Assajj and Fenn bumped into him (yay!). Now, thanks to Chopper's ability I can assign a stress token to any opponent that Chopper touches at the start of the combat phase (get a taste of your own medicine Assajj!). However, the moment I assign a stress token to one of them, all the others get it as well thanks to mindlink. The questions are: 1 does it mean one of them is now double stressed? and most of all 2: do I get to choose which one is double stressed or is it the opposing player who gets to choose the order in which he receives the stress tokens?

The stress tokens are assigned one at a time, so Chopper's ability assigns Ship 1 a stress token, which triggers Attanni Mindlink and immediately assigns a stress token to Ship 2. Chopper's ability then assigns the next token to Ship 2 (which already has one). So, one ship will be double stressed. As to who gets to choose which is Ship 1 and which is Ship 2, my money would be on the player controlling Chopper.

The player who owns the effect chooses in which order to apply effects.

Yeah, that's what I figured, but I was having a "senior moment" when i was thinking about that part.

You're too young to have "senior moments". Gives the true seniors a bad rap. Lol

I'm sure I'm probably older than most of the players here (present company excepted).

Just as I thought then. Thanks a lot for the answers folks!
