Hi Folks... I have not been here for quite a while, so excuse me if my
questions have been answered already! Here they are:

1.: What happens if I use my Followers of Seth to permanently steal from
an opposing Methuselah a Minion that has been made a Blood Doll before
this theft? Is this Minion now my Blood Doll, is he still his/hers or is
he no longer a Blood Doll at all???

2.: The situation: a four-player-game, my prey has two pool left and so
has my prey's prey. They both have three Vampires tapped. Now I call
Domain Challenge and win the vote. Both must immediately pay three pool
and so are ousted at the same time. The question: Is first MY prey
ousted, I get the six pool for ousting him,THEN his prey becomes mine,
is ousted too and I get another six pool _OR_ does my prey get the six
pool for his prey being ousted before he himself dies and so has 2+6-3=5
pool after all is done???

We created house rules to cover up such situations (Blood Doll is
removed in case 1., I get 12 pool in case two) but I would really like
to hear other's opinions...
Thanks in advance... Marc

It is now your Blood Doll. The Blood Doll card has errata stating that
it is controlled by the controller of the minion that it is on. It
is the only Master Card with such errata - any other Master Cards will
continue to be controlled by whoever played it (although some, like
Skill cards, cannot be "turned off" by the controller).

The two are ousted. You get 1 victory point for ousting your prey.
Your prey gets 1 victory point for ousting her prey. You get six
pool for ousting your prey and not being ousted at the same time.
Your prey doesn't get six pool because she is ousted at the same
time as her prey.

These are more than opinions, they're official (the latter comes from the
rulebook - although the rulebook mistakenly says "same turn" when it
means "same time" - it has official errata to correct that).
