Since you have previously ruled that the Fida'i can untap even if under the
effects of Rotschreck (because it says that "this vampire does not untap as
normal") - does this also mean that the Fida'i can still untap under the
effects of a Snipe Hunt?

Rotschreck:
Put this card on a vampire when an opposing minion attempts to inflict
aggravated damage on him or her, whether the damage would be successfully
inflicted or not. Combat ends. This vampire is tapped and sent to torpor.
This vampire does not untap as normal. During this vampire's next untap
phase, burn this card.

Snipe Hunt: Political Card - Worth 1 vote. Called by any vampire at +1
stealth. Successful referendum means that all vampires with a capacity less
than 4 are tapped and do not untap as normal during their next untap phase.

Thanks,
Todd B.

Yes. Only the "as normal" untapping is affected by Snipe Hunt.

A Deranged/Detected vampire would still be able to pay a blood to untap.
And Setites can still pay a blood to untap if Children of Osiris is in play.
etc.

yes, since fidai cart text explicitely states that Fidai do not untap as
normal. Just like a "snipe-hunted", deranged vampire can untap during the
untap phase by spending one blood.

Wow! I can just see the possibilities for Fida'i unfolding before my
eyes!
Ok, slightly sarcastic, but perhaps having an Assamite Justicar with
PRE in play will help make this happen. ;)
