Blissful Agony vs TT & Psyche!

I'm sure this must have been dealt with plenty of times before, but I can't find them, which speaks volumes about my ability to search newsgroups. I've outlined how I think Blissful Agony interacts with Telepathic Tracking and Psyche! Do I have it right? - Vampire 1 and Vampire 2 are in combat - Vampire 1 plays Blissful Agony superior, and instructs Vampire 2 to go and fight with Vampire 3 instead - Vampire 2, sneers in the general direction of Vampire 1, and plays Telepathic Tracking. - A second round of combat between Vampire 1 and 2 occurs. Vampire 1, now plays Majesty. - Vampire 2, not happy to leave combat without a head as a trophy, attempts to play Psyche! - All the other Methuselahs, in total confidence about their knowledge of the rules, calmly state that now that combat has ended, Vampire 1 must enter combat with Vampire 3 due to the earlier Blissful Agony, and that there is no time in between the two combats for Psyche! to be played. House rules state that the controlling Methuselah must buy the next round of drinks for her indiscretion. - Combat begins between Vampire 1 and Vampire 3.

This effect cancels the combat-starting effect of BA. > - A second round of combat between Vampire 1 and 2 occurs.

Legal, since there's no other combat pending. > - All the other Methuselahs, in total confidence about their knowledge > of the rules, calmly state that now that combat has ended, Vampire 1 > must enter combat with Vampire 3 due to the earlier Blissful Agony, > and that there is no time in between the two combats for Psyche! to be > played.

This would be true if the previously-played TT had not interrupted the BA effect. -- LSJ (vte...@white-wolf.com) V:TES Net.Rep for White Wolf, Inc.

I think I'm a bit mixed up. Here's how I thought TT vs IotK worked - Vampire 1 and Vampire 2 are in combat - Vampire 1 plays IotK - Vampire 2 plays Telepathic Tracking - Vampire 1 and 2 play a second round of combat - After combat ends, Vampire 1 enters combat with an illusionary vampire Am I right or wrong on this one? If it is different to Blissful Agony, why so? AndrewS.
