So lets propose their are dueling batmites does everyones initative stay the same? Who would get it.

What about in mulipplayer format? Lets say for instance their are 8 guys playing in muliplayer game & by some INSANE twist of fate everyone hits this guy on turn 8.

What happens then?

I'm sure this will be addressed in the FAQ. I'm really surprised they didn't post that before they shipped the product out.

Based on the precedent of cards like Carnage, who have FAQ entries---"If the initiative would pass to a player who can't gain it, it stays where it is." So any time initiative is supposed to go from Player X to Player Y, either it works perfectly or the initiative stays with Player X; just apply that rule each time it would change hands.

so - whoever got their bat-mite out first would keep init

The FAQ went up on July 3rd, which I believe was UDE's "official" release date.

Edit: This exact scenario was not in there, but Herocomplex's reference was exactly quoted: "If the initiative would pass to a player who can't gain it, it stays where it is."
