What constitutes an “outcome” when you have to guess the outcome of a vote?

The outcome would be either the elected player/planet/etc. or the “For” or “Against” option.

Is there anything to back that up? I have a couple of guys that are insisting “predict an outcome” includes things like “player A will not be elected”.

They’re talking about predicting what doesn’t happen rather than what does happen, but that can’t be a predicted outcome in terms of TI4 game rules because it doesn’t receive any votes.

8.22 Some game effects instruct a player to predict an outcome. To predict an outcome, a player declares aloud the outcome he thinks will receive the most votes. He must make this prediction after the agenda is revealed but before any votes have been cast.

Thank you. That’s what I needed.
