Yes. When it comes into play, the trigger goes on the stack. You choose whether or not to pay at the time the trigger resolves.

You've answered your own question. Because you have to do it simultaneously, the Lich's Mirror isn't there to save you when the Lich leaves play and kills you.

Opponent plays 'lanche and it resolves for 3 damage. His ability triggers and waits to be placed on the stack next time a player would gain priority. When state based effects check darien dies. You don't get the tokens til the trigger resolves.

My first thought was yes, b/c everything is returned at once, putting warped devotion's discard ability on the stack, leaving me with a hand full of 7 and opponents discard whatever they decide to hold....but some of the rules may have changed since I quit, so that's why I'm asking.

What happens if my opponent casts a meditate. He draws his 4 cards and casts Timevault. Then untaps his Timevault with a Voltaic key, just to tap it to get an extra turn? Do both effects resolve, canceling each out?

Asking this based on the new MTG 2010 rulings.

1. If my opponent attacks with a creature (any creature) and I block with a Victual Sliver, what happens if I sacrifice the Victual Sliver during the declare blockers step when I have priority but before the combat damage step . Will the Victual Sliver still do its damage to attacking creature? Is the attacking creature still considered blocked and does it do its damage to me.

2. If my opponent attacks with a creature (any creature) and I block with Prodigal Sorcerer, what happens if I use the Prodigal Sorcerer's ability and spend it to do damage to the opponents creature but it does not die. Will my Prodigal Sorcerer still do combat damage to the attacking creature in addition to the 1 damage done with Prodigal Sorcerer's ability?

I have Lich's Mirror and Lich out. I Hurricane for a million. Everybody takes a million damage, but I instead sacrifice my permanents. Does damage hit everyone killing them while the mirror saves me? Or would the mirror be sacrificed before I would technically lose the game therefore nulling its effect and causing me to lose with everyone?

Essentially what happens when I do the above?

---

The mirror leaves play before it can be triggered.

What happens:

1. Hurricane resolves.
2. All players take a million damage, you sacrifice all your permanents at the same time to Lich's replacement effect.
3. Lich's trigger goes on the stack, both players lose immediately for having zero life.

So the answer to my question is? Who would win? Are you saying it would be a draw. It's a bit unclear when you say "all players take a million damage", then, "both players lose". How many players are in this scenario of yours?

---

It's a draw.

basically do I have to assign an additional 2 damage to one creature, or all of the creatures that I want to make sure die

I have a question that I can't find the answer to in the rules docs on wizard's site.
I was at the M10 prerelease this weekend, and one of my opponents took my deck before 1st match and proceeded to seperate it out into 4 equal piles. Given that a)this took forever and I was playing a slow deck, thus round time was burning (I had gone to last 5 turns both previous rounds), and b) this seemed extremely odd to me and actually felt kinda like stacking my deck, I called over a judge.
The judge informed me that the way it works is this: I get first shuffle, then pass to opponent. Opponent can do whatever he wishes to my deck, but I then get to reshuffle. If I choose to reshuffle, opponent gets another priority, followed, by me, etc...

So basically, I told the judge, the opponent can either choose to keep shuffling to try and force a round draw, or I am forced to accept his "randomizing" of my deck for play to begin.
