[LSJ] Telepathic Tracking/Rotschreck/Majesty

I looked and looked, and just got a lot of contradictory posts about these questions. Sorry to ask again (I'm sure they've come up before, numerous times), but I can't seem to find one definitive answer... Rules clarification on Telepathic Tracking says: "Superior Telepathic Tracking may interrupt the end of combat produced by Rotschreck. The target will still go to torpor when combat finally ends. [LSJ 20011205]" Rules clarification on Rotschreck says: "If combat is continued or a new combat started, then rest of the effect of Rotschreck is lost. [RTR 20020501]" Can someone explain this to me? Also, I'm pretty sure of this, but I just want to be positive. If vampire A (acting) plays Majesty at superior, and vampire B shoots him with an Ivory Bow and plays Rotschreck, vampire A does not get to untap, since the Majesty never resolved. Correct? But: If vampire A (acting) plays Majesty at superior, and vampire B strikes with hands, and then plays superior Telepathic Tracking once the Majesty resolves, vampire A does untap, since his strike was resolved. Correct? Thanks bunches, everyone. Kushiel

[LSJ 20011205]" Ruling on Telepathic Tracking says: Superior Telepathic Tracking may interrupt the end of combat produced by Rotschreck, which will cause the rest of Rotschreck's effect to be lost (no torpor).
