Okay, I think I've seen this before, but I wanted to make sure. Last night I played a game where my prey had The Rack funnelling blood to one of his vampires. That vampire decided to make a trip to torpor, and Gilbert thought he'd be happier working for me so he Grave Robbed him. We ended up having The Rack put two blood on my newly acquired vampire every time my prey untapped. Is that the way it's supposed to work? --------- Paul Schaaf sch...@u.washington.edu

Last [ quoted text not captured ] I don't think so. The Rack is controlled by a given Meth and it puts blood on a vamp that Meth controls. When that Meth no longer controls the Racked vamp, the blood stops flowing. If you own the Rack it gives a vamp you control the blood. If that Vamp is stolen, the Rack stops producing. For a vamp another Meth controls to recieve blood from the Rack, that Meth needs to get control of the Rack. I believe that Tom posted that official response. I imagine that L Scott Johnson would know exactly where that was. I hope this helps, stephen
