Emissary Q's.
Anthony Barker
Firstly, does the responding Camarilla have to tap as the card is
played, or can they tap any time during the political action?
Secondly, does tapping the Camarilla vampire just cancel the votes
from the Emissary or does it cancel all votes that the Anarch has
(e.g., inherent votes, Madrigal, etc)?
Cheers,
Anthony.
Emissary [Anarchs:C]
Cardtype: Action Modifier
Requires a ready baron. Only usable during a referendum before votes
are cast.
Choose a ready untapped anarch you control. Tap the chosen anarch.
That anarch gains 3 votes. Any Camarilla vampire older than that
anarch can tap to cancel that anarch's votes.

by card text : at any time. nothing explicits he must tap right away.

yes, by card text. "tap to cancel that anarch's votes" means all the votes
this anarch may have.

although, later in the referendum, there is no emissiary card around
to tell you that the camarilla vampire can tap to cancel the votes.
i am presuming it has to happen right away, like Mob Rule and Business
Pressure must be resolved before you move on to other effects. They
don't give you any lingering ability, and neither would Emissiary.
Contrast with Rant, which has explicit "During this referendum..."
text to give anarchs a lingering ability.
Note also that Emissiary has a 'tap to do X' wording, which means the
camarilla vampire needs to actually be untapped and then tap to cancel
the votes, which is cool. :)

Yes, finally some value to Disarming Presence.
Not a lot, but some.

burn at that point and can't wait to burn blood myself in order to respond
to other cards that are played later? I guess it doesn't say "during this
referendum..." but I thought the effect lasted the duration of the voting
process. Odd...thought I must admit that I don't know that it will come up.
As a side note, let's say I burn 2 blood from a Mob Rule to gain 4 votes
with a vamp who's capacity is 8 or above...another vampire burns 3 blood to
make the vote fail. Can I then burn another blood? Or is it too late at
that point? Please clarify, as I am using this card in my Follows of Set
anarch deck. Thanks!

Yes. As with Business Pressure, there is no set order to the burning.
There can be some "give and take", to use the phrasing of the prior
ruling. [RTR 31-MAY-1996]

not really.
emissiary is before votes are cast. disarming presence won't tap you
until you cast your votes. so you'd tap to cancel the emissary's
votes, and then cast your votes (tapped vampires can tap redundantly
under disarming presence).
however, on subsequent votes you call......it get's better i guess.
disarming on the first vote, let it fail or whatever, tapping people
in the process, play emissary on the next vote....hmmm..
