[LSJ] some rules clarification

[eRol]

My playgroup wants some clarification for these card texts:

1. When do I have to tap an Island of Yiaros, if I announce the strike or
before strike resolution?

Island of Yiaros
Type: Master
Requires: Ventrue
Cost: 2 pool
Master: unique location.
You may tap this card to give a vampire you control +X strength for one
strike, where X is the number of votes the vampire has, not counting any
votes he or she gets in the prisci sub-referendum (e.g., a prince gets +2
strength).

2. What happens if Petaniqua ADV recruits a Cry Wolf and is blocked, does
she goes to torpor?

Petaniqua Advanced
Clan: Baali (group 4)
Capacity: 9
Disciplines: AUS DAI DEM OBF THA chi
Advanced, Independent. Red List: Once each combat, Petaniqua may burn a
blood to gain a press. Petaniqua may recruit a werewolf ally as if she meets
the requirements of playing that card. +1 strength. Infernal.

Cry Wolf
Type: Ally
Requires: anarch
Unique werewolf with 3 life. 2 strength, 0 bleed. Requires a ready anarch.
If the action to recruit this ally is blocked, the acting anarch goes to
torpor. This werewolf must enter combat with any minion controlled by
another Methuselah as a (D) action. He gets one optional press each combat.
This werewolf does not untap as normal during your untap phase. If he is
tapped during your untap phase, burn him.

Whenever you want (before strike resolution). Your strike deals
strength damage , + any modifiers from strike or other cards, one of
which would be IoY.

Petaniqua counts as anarch for the resolution of all effects of Cry
Wolf, so a succesful block sends her to torpor. Compare with allies
playing cards as Vampires and Mata Hari/Tatiana.
