LSJ: Firebrand timing and more

Couldnt find a clear answer for this on the newsgroup, so here goes: Firebrand Cardtext: Requires an anarch. If this referendum is successful, put this card on the acting anarch. This anarch gets 1 additional vote during a political action. During your minion phase, this anarch can burn 1 blood to untap a ready younger anarch. Burn this card if this anarch goes to torpor. An anarch may have only 1 Firebrand. 1. How does the timing work? Can it be used during an action? During combat? (if youre getting torp'ed you might as well spend your blood on something useful...) 2. If an anarch A calls Domain Challenge, can an older anarch B with Firebrand untap anarch A before the vote resolves, so that I dont lose pool for anarch A being tapped? My playgroup said no... 3. An anarch A calls Anarch Salon. Can another anarch B on full capacity use Firebrand to untap a younger anarch X, thereby spending one blood, before the Anarch Salon resolves and gives a blood to anarch B (bringing it back to full capacity again?). And completely unrelated: 4. What happens if I (e.g. involuntarily) transfers in a vampire that I already have in play? e.g. enchant kindred and then forgets to transfer back to my pool... Does it burn? Thank you

Yes. B could untap A before blocks were solicited, even. > 3. An anarch A calls Anarch Salon.

Yes, the incoming copy that would be self-contested burns.
