When a card such as Followers of Mork enters play and deals indirect damage to both players, which player assigns his indirect damage first? There are cases where this came mkae a big difference.
To extrapolate on the above, what is the sequence of events when Followers of Mork enters play, but one of the players is able to redirect the indirect damage onto his opponent's unit?
As an example, I found this post on Board Game Geek:
*SNIP*
In one of our last game we had such situation: I was Orcs and played Followers of Mork (Forced: After this unit enters play, each player takes 2 indirect damage. (Players allocate their own indirect damage.)), my opponent was Empire and had Warrior Priests (Forced: The first point of damage assigned to this unit each turn is redirected to one target unit in any battlefield. (If there is no valid target, the damage is assigned to Warrior Priests.))on table.
In our case I didn't suspect anything and took my damage first to some unit that has 3 HP (it ended up having 1 HP left). Then my opponent started to assigning damage and assigned it to his Warrior Priests, then redirected it to that unit that I just wounded and killed it!
But hey, who said that I should assign my damage first? If I assigned my indirect damage after my opponent I would know to wchich unit he will redirect his damage from Warrior Priests and my 3 HP unit would certainly survive.
I believe that in most cases it doesn't matter in what order players assign indirect damage. But in my scenario, as you can see, the order definitely DOES matter (it determines whether my unit survive or not). Is there any ruling for that situation?

That's just one example, but there are surely others.
Anyone know how to resolve this?
