In tonights game, the following two incidences happened, and of course
questions arose. Tom, if you could give us the low down on how to handle
them, it would be appreciated.
1) Protracted Investment: I played this master card on turn 1, and
then followed up with playing another on turn two. It's not unique,
and the wording allowed for confusion. By declining to play a Master
card, could I draw one blood from BOTH cards, ala Living Artifact?
We voted for the game that I could, but it was still vague.
2) Contested Kindred: We had a Gangrel in contention, the one that was
out first had a retainer on him. Does a minion in contention
immediately lose all equipment and retainers, or only after the
Methuselah decides to yield?
Thanks for the help!

Not sure about this one.

Nothing is lost off a minion during Contention. When a Methuselah concedes
and burns their Vampyre, everything on that Vampyre is burned. If the
Vampyre with the retainer (in your example) actually won the contention (ie.
the other Methuselah burned their Vampyre first), it would come back into
play with everything it had when it left.
However, if the Vampyre with the retainer was burned (to end the contention),
then everything that was on that vampyre is also burned.

You can only use one. Note that it says that instead of playing a master
card, you take 1 blood from "the" Short Term Investment, meaning you burn
a master action to take 1 blood from *that* Investment. You cannot use
multiple investments during a turn unless you have same way of playing
multiple master cards during your master phase (say, by having Anson out).

Equipment and such on a contested vampire are only lost if it is yielded.
Such equipment will be unusable whlie it's in contention, of course.
