Rule notes

Official Runlings:

For this objective, "attempting" to seed a copy of a mission means seeding a copy. For example, if both you and your opponent seeded Universal Patrol Neutral Zone, he may attempt your copy. (Duplicated unique missions which are stacked are always considered "your mission.")
