Hello, What happen if I use a card that says either "name a vampire" or "choose a vampire", but the vampire has no real name like Aabbt Kindred, Fida'i, Embraced, Progeny, or Creation? Let say Contract for example, do I have to point a specific Fida'i, or all the Fida'i are fit for the Contract. What about Incriminating Videotape/Baleful Doll? GP41

It refers to a specific vampire card. So you choose this Aabt Kindred, that Aabt Kindred, or the Aabt Kindred over there. You might say the Fida'i with the Quietus card, the Fida'i with the Obfuscate card, or the torpored Fida'i. Or for Embraces, you may choose the Pikachu, the Charmander, or the Jigglypuff. ;) >Let say Contract for example, do I have to point a specific Fida'i, or >all the Fida'i are fit for the Contract. What about Incriminating >Videotape/Baleful Doll? Once again you refer to a particular vampire card. Let's say you choose Fatima for your contract. She gets burned and you influence out a new Fatima. This new Fatima is not considered to be the same Fatima who was originally chosen for that contract. Hope this helps. Halcyan 2

What if my original Fatima has being Banished, and now I'm stock with 2 Fatimas in my uncontrolled region. Do I really have to bring the original one out, or the other one would be fine? Does the card naming a specific vampire is burned after Banishment? In a contested matter, I always tought that if a vamp was contested, the vamp would go to the strongest of the 2 Meth contesting it. It is thus far, the same vamp right? Sorry if I insist on the subject. GP41

A number of people will play with proxy cards. One player in Atlanta will replace his proxy cards with Pokemon cards once they enter play. It is not uncommon to have Pikachu bleed for one or play a Night Moves. > > >Let say Contract for example, do I have to point a specific Fida'i, or > > >all the Fida'i are fit for the Contract.

Does the card naming > a specific vampire is burned after Banishment? A card naming a specific vampire has no further effect if the vampire leaves play in any fashion (so long as it wasn't played on the vampire that leaves play). If the victim of a Contract is banished and then returns to play, the Contract will still be there and usable by the Assamite. If an Assamite leaves play (Banishment, Reality) any Contracts naming that Assamite are effectively null and void, but the Contracts do not technically leave play. A specific instance of the named vampire in play is targetted by any card that requires you to name a vampire. If that vampire leaves play and re-enters play, it isn't considered to be the same vampire unless the card naming them was also played on them. > In a contested matter, I always tought that if a vamp was contested, the > vamp would go to the strongest of the 2 Meth contesting it. It is thus > far, the same vamp right? No. So a contested vampire won by the second Methuselah to bring it into play will not be able to gain blood from the Rack that targeted the first vampire, nor will it be able to act on Contracts that the first one was named for, nor will it be the victim of any Anathema voted onto the first one. > Sorry if I insist on the subject.

I've not got one, but in a recent game (using proxies) My Delialah was Made uncontrolled by a superior reality. She was able to take unblocable actions, no i bring her back out, is she still unblockable? How about if she'd been the recipient of the taps from TGB? Would the balls still be in play? Cameron

LSJ

[ quoted text not captured ] No. Yes. "Balls" doesn't care if "the recipient of the taps" remains in play. [ quoted text not captured ]

It's legal to tap your balls whether or not they're in play? Or is it only OK to tap the RECEIPIENT of your balls? Or maybe your balls are unblockable once they're in play. Or out of play. I'm not sure. I'm confused. Or possessed by the spirit of the Googler, maybe... I HAVE been having strange dreams about Oscar, a quart of motor oil, and potato skins lately, and that might be it. -- dER3k!

If Lupo is named Brujah Justicar, and is subsequently Banished, will Lupo be the Brujah Justicar when he is returned to play? Does the answer to this question hold for all of the Praxis Seizures as well? - Jason Bell

LSJ

[ quoted text not captured ] OK. So I (and Lasombra) overstated matters where Banishment/Reality is concerned (going by the ancient Banishment ruling - before [01-MAY-2000] Banishment/Reality operates more like contesting. The stuff Lasombra said applies to burned vampires. * A Banished vampire will remember all effects that had been applied to him, just as contested vampires do. This includes gained or lost titles, etc. [RTR 20000501] [ quoted text not captured ]

And if the answer is "yes", I guess that it will have to be the same Vampire card for that matter. Right? GP41

Though I suppose it might be a bit confusing if an empty vampire who has yielded his natural title is Banished and you have a second copy of him. How do you convince people that this is a *new* copy of him (as opposed to the originally Banished one)? Call a judge over I suppose? Halcyan 2
