Ok, it's fairly clear that a Bloodhunt and a Wildhunt are pretty much the same
thing, just different names for different sects.
My question revolves around Muaziz. Can a Wildhunt be called on her by
Antitribes? It only says that a Bloodhunt cannot be called on her in her
special. My initial reaction would be no, regardless of the name a Hunt cannot
be called on her but I would like a more 'official' (or as much as can be
found) ruling on this.

Official: I haven't a clue
My Impression of the Rules Team's eventual tendencies:
(And my own personal suggestion): Wild hunt is exactly the same thing
as a Blood Hunt.
An addendum to my own opinion: There should never have been a new term
for the Blood Hunt, since it adds nothing to the game and only creates
confusion.

I agree.
But I just wanted to make sure so when I Diablerize with Muaziz I don't get a
"Wild" Hunt get called on her just because she cannot get a "Blood" Hunt called
on her.
The Rules Team are so silly.

I cannot really answer the question (for obvious reasons) but I'd
like to add another question: is Muaziz vulnerable to the Blood Hunt
card? (i.e. can she be the target of a Blood Hunt action?).

Not a reprint, a new vampire (how's that for "extensive testing"?) :
March Halcyon Pander
Capacity: 1 Disciplines: for
If March is diablerized, no one can call a Blood Hunt against the
acting vampire.

Yes, she is. Blood Hunt (the post-diablerie referendum) is distinct from
Bloodhunt (the action).

My guess would be that it is the target that determines whether a hunt is
Blood or Wild. Therefore, to be Wild Hunted, she would somehow have to
become Sabbat (which might or might not be possible for all I know...)

I don't see why not. Attacking at +1 stealth is *very* much different than
burning.

I agree. And it would be nice if LSJ got paid, but the unfortunate and sad
thing is that LSJ seems to care more about this game and it's players than WotC
does. And you'll get a generally correct albeit "unofficial" answer much
faster by asking him than by asking Jon or anyone else (questions@) at WotC.
This, indeed, is very sad (and disheartening).

Yet another question I can answer! Cool.
Wild Hunt and Blood Hunt are pretty much the same. Only a player with a
Sabbat vampire may call a Wild Hunt, and only a player with a Camarilla
vampire may call a Blood Hunt. However, anyone can vote on either, so
they're basically the same.

Ok, I understand that anyone can vote for either a blood hunt or a wild
hunt.
The questions I have are:
1. Can a Wild Hunt be called on a Camarilla vampire, or a Bloodhunt on
a Sabbat vampire?
2. If card text refers to either wild hunt or blood hunt, shoud that
text be read literally as referring only to the specified hunt, or
should they be seen as equivalent with respect to card text --
The answers to the two would clarify, for instance, the following questions:
(I would like actual answers to the following questions...)
a. Is a Camarilla Archon vulnerable to having a wild hunt called against
them?
b. The ruling on Charming Lobby states that it can't be used for a
bloodhunt. Does this extend to "wild hunts" as well?
c. Can a minion with "The Hunt Club" use votes during a wild hunt?
d. Is Absolution of the Diabolist ONLY useable for bloodhunts?
e. Can Wild hunts be called against Muaziz?
f. According to Gangrel Conspiracy, I can cancel a "blood hunt" called
on a Gangrel Antitribu. This indicates that, in fact, blood hunts
may be called on Sabbat vampires... is this true? Will this card
cancel wild hunts as well?
g. Can a wild hunt be called against a minion that diablerizes
March Halcyon?
h. Should all bloodhunt related rulings be extended to wild hunts as well?
i. Are there any Sabbat cards that refer to wild hunts? Are "wild hunts"
mentioned anywhere but the new rules reference card?
(This last question is mostly due to ignorance and laziness... I don't
feel like poking around any more than I've done already... :)
I will crosspost this list of questions to one with a "Scalpel" subject
heading.

Another question:
If you control both Camarilla and Sabbat vampires, can you call both a blood
hunt and a wild hunt? If vote cards were used up or the edge burned in the
first of the two, the result of the second could be different.

I am not 100% sure now when you say it, but I think Blood Hunt and Wild Hunt is
the same time, you just call it different...
Whenever a card say Blood Hunt or Wild Hunt, it should also mean the other.

What? Does this mean that if a player controls only non-cam or
even has no minions (the last one was diablerized, for instance), he
cannot call the hunt?

As I understand it, Wild Hunt and Blood Hunt are two names for the same
thing. I believe the Sabbat rule card says something along the lines of
"Sabbat vampires are subject to Blood Hunts just as Camarilla ones,
however, they call these Wild Hunts." Therefore, it's the exact same
action, and the name just depends on who you talk to. There have never
been any rules in the past about who can call a Blood Hunt, as I recall
the rulebook says that any Methuselah may choose to do so after diablerie
has been commited.

That would seem to make the most sense, to me. However, when there are
Camarilla specfic cards which protect people from bloodhunts, _should_ they
protect them from wild hunts as well? Is the lack of distinction because
"(blood/wild)hunts" are actually called by Meth.'s who are above the
distinction between Sabbat and Camarilla?

But the question is, can *both* be called for a single diablerie? (Two
sets of votes on the same issue).

Uh, no. Bloodhunt = Wildhunt = Bloodhunt. Once a Hunt has been called and
failed, it cannot be called again, regardless of the name. And all vamps
(barring special cases, eg Muaziz) are subject to a Hunt, again, regardless of
the name.
I think there was lack of foresight by the designers into possible confusion on
the issue when they changed the name.

My feeling is this: the type of hunt called should depend on the object
of diablerie. If a Sabbat vampire is diablerized, a Wild Hunt should
be called; if a Camarilla vampire is diablerized, a Blood Hunt should
be called. Thus, Muaziz can still be the target of a Wild Hunt (Sure,
as an Archon she can suck down all the Camarilla blood she wants, but
as for the Sabbat...). The same goes for Archons and such.
Now the question is: what about independent vampires? For the
purposes of the game, I don't think it matters. I'm sure that I'm over-
looking countless cards that would call this into question, but I can't
think of them right now. Anyone care to jump in?

No - which one you call is based on the sect of the diabolist.

I'll go ahead and let you in on what I think the resulting ruling
will be:
Wild Hunts are called against Sabbat vampires.
Blood Hunts are called against Camarilla vampires (and Independent vampires).
You cannot call a Blood Hunt against a Sabbat vampire, and you cannot call
a Wild Hunt against a Non-Sabbat vampire.
You may call for the appropriate hunt reqgardless of which vampires you
control.
(One Sabbat vampire refers to Blood Hunts in his card text - this should
obviously be a reference to a Wild Hunt, in a world where proofreading
and playtesting are done :-)
----
Or, clear the clutter, and eliminate the Wild Hunt altogether - just call
them all a Blood Hunt and go on with the game!
