Can you use temtation on your own vampires? If yes, I assume one can
trigger the effect of Temptation to untap the affected vampire. Is this
right ?

can you use temptation more than once in a turn?
eg: if the vampire ends up empty, can you burn 0 temptation counters to
untap him and hunt?

No, isn't possible:
when you use the Tempt you must burn ALL the counters on the card, and to
use it again you must have at least " a counter" on the Tempt (card's
text),

You could burn all zero. See Free States Rant/Form of Corruption decks.

No. It uses a "During X, Do Y" template for each of its abilities
(master phase considerations, minion phase considerations).

During X, Do Y means *once* During X, Do Y.

Excuse me, but where is it noticed on the card that we must have at
least one counter to trigger it ? Following official card text, from
WW website :
Temptation
Cardtype: Action
Cost: 1 blood
Discipline: Serpentis
[ser] (D) Put this card on a ready vampire; you still control this
card. During your master phase, you may put a temptation counter on
this card. During your minion phase, if the number of counters on this
card equals or exceeds the amount of blood on that vampire, you may
burn all the <counters> on this card to untap that vampire and take
control of him or her until the end of your turn.
[SER] As above, but put a counter on this card when you put it on the
vampire.

IMHO, I think it is possible to burn zero counter to take control of a
bloodless Vampire... LSJ ?

No. But if you have multiple Temptation cards on a vampire with enough
counters, you may make use of each one.

That was a bit glib there, Noal. Fess up: You've made this wacky deck,
haven't you? =p

Im' sorry to see that, by the supported James response on this thread,
the english language logic is different from the italian one.
That is, in italian, "number of counter" means = 1 or more;
else, with zero counter
there's NO counter, and no "number of counter" to burn at all...
Anyway, i see that's the way it works, so, sorry for giving a wrong
response.
Best

No, but he has played a lot with me and I have. ;)

Nothing so much fun as having 10 temptations in your deck and plenty of
stealth.

Heck, you could make a whole deck with nothing but non-unique vampires!
Blood Doll off the Fida'I, and then let them untap with a zero-counter
Temptations (put on by your Aabbt Kindred), hunt with Succulent Vitae, and
then untap them with a 1-counter Temptation. They're ready to go, and able
to play some cool card (Blood Clots, Foul Blood, Taste of Death, etc) for
free!
Of course, first you need the 8-12 Temptations...drat. =)
