You'd have to have someone else with a card out there with counters on
for it to work.
You cannot target a card you control with the (D) action provided by
Goth Band.

I got it!
You Trojan Horse Uriah Winter to a Ravnos. That way you can place
counters on him and more than likely another Methuselah will be
controlling him so now you can use the Goth Band to yank counters back
off of him to the Master Card "Week of Nightmares". Ethan! Noal!
this is screaming for newsletter attention.

+2 fun!
and +1 round of drinks, I feel, to drown your sorrows when you find out
that Goth Band couldn't target the nightmare counters on him, because he
isn't a master card. :(
but, to make this totally rediculus, you could drop a coven, have
Dominique drop vandal counters on it, and gain back one counter a turn
from a goth band, I think. She even has FOR ani!! (and AUS/dom the
splash disciplines....)

Coven's free, so goes away as soon as Dominique puts a vandal counter
on it.

In addition, Goth Band only works on cards that use counters and their
appropriate counters (which was recently asked). So counters from extraneous
sources don't count as valid Goth Band material.

um, how does Dominique put vandal counters on a non location card?
i noticed that too. The best i can come up with is that you send
someone your hunting ground via Disputed Territory, put a counter on
it from Dominique, steal it back to the Week using Goth band. But if
you're doing this it would be better to use Palla Grande in a
!Toreador/Dominique deck, it seems to me.
Yes, you can. LSJ stated about this before. If you play D action on
yourself, it becomes an undirected action. Want some examples? here they
are:
Diablerize one of your own torporized vampires
Use rampage at +1 stealth to burn one location you control
Yes, you can combo Dreams of the Sphix with Palla Grande. The Goth Band
keeps the party last a little longer!!!! It's too weak 'cause the Goth band
hasn't got any maneuver to keep himself alive, tehy only have 2 live and
they will become the #1 target from your prey... But they cost you solely an
Art Scam :P.
But even if you can use them only once, it's worth they cost.

That's true, but Goth Band's (errata'ed) card text disallows this:
Unique Ally with 2 life. 1 strength, 0 bleed. As a +1 stealth (D)
action, the Goth Band may move one counter from any master card
controlled by another Methuselah to a master card you control that
uses counters. The counter is changed to a counter of the type
appropriate to the new card.
The errata was added to preserve the functionality of Goth Band, which
was designed back when the (D) symbol was errata'ed to prohibit
self-directing (and enabled omni-directing otherwise).

Since you are already giving them uriah winter...why not jut domain
challenge to give them one of those funky, counter generating
powerbases(madrid comes to mind) and steal them with goth band.
Aaron
Don't Drop a coven. Drop a Powerbase:Mexico City. Disputed Location
it to your predator, either place vandal counters with Dominique or
steal all the pool off it with Dominique. The Goth Band can steal
either counters for your week of nightmares.

Even though "doh" is now officially an English word, I still don't think it's
exactly "proper" English. I think it's still too much along the lines of
"slang" as opposed to "civilized English." =)

Put Succubus Club, Dreams of the Sphinx, Goth Band (Clan Impersonate a
Ravnos to an !Tor; burn the CI after recruiting GB) and Week of
Nightmares in play. Use SC to trade your grandpredator/grandprey ally
Dreams of the Sphinx and the SC. Steal a DoS counter and put it on
WoN. On your ally's turn (and every turn thereafter), trade SC, GB,
WoN and DoS between you so both of you can take turns tapping DoS and
moving its counters to WoN. In a four-player game this can keep both
WoN and DoS going until someone is ousted, and in a 5+ player game
both masters will stick around much longer, maybe long enough to oust
people down to 4. On the downside, your Ravnos will have LOTS of WoN
counters on them, so you'd better use Guard Duty on the SC and hold on
to some Sudden Reversals to keep others from contesting SC and DoS.
'Tis a pity I have no GBs or WoNs.
