Can a minion not being stolen play Sound of a Breaking Oath at AUS/DOM
when a minion you control is stolen?
I'm asking because the card says "a minion you control" instead of
"this minion".

If yes, am I correct to say that the following happens:
1. Vamp A (controlled by Methuselah A) plays a card to steal Vamp B
(controlled by Methuselah B)
2. Vamp C (controlled by Methuselah B) plays SoaBO at AUS/DOM
3. Vamp C burns, Vamp A takes 1 damage and Vamp B remains under the
control of Methuselah B.

Thanks in advance.

Sound of a Breaking Oath [Promo-20080203]
Cardtype: Action/Reaction
Discipline: Auspex & Dominate
[aus][dom] [ACTION] +1 stealth action. Put this card on a minion you
control. If an action to steal the minion with this card is
successful, this minion is burned instead and the acting minion takes
1 unpreventable damage.
[AUS][DOM] [REACTION] As above, but play when an action to steal a
minion you control is successful.

You are joking aren't you? You really mean that the US government made
it an extra-territorial offence to smoke a decent cigar?

I thought it was called "the land of the free" at one time :)

The history of Castro and Cuban cigars is interesting if you haven't
read anything about it before.

See here:
http://www.historyhouse.com/in_histo...

"In August 1960, the earliest attempt had the CIA's Office of Medical
Services dose some of Castro's cigars with a virulent toxin; they were
then slipped into his private stash during a trip to the United
Nations. No luck. About the same time the New York Police Department
learned the CIA aborted similar plans with cigars loaded with, yes,
explosives.

The CIA's Technical Services Division planned to lace Castro's cigars
with a super-hallucinogen (perhaps BZ), to embarrass him publicly by
causing a wild acid trip during a public appearance.

The CIA also planned to embarrass Fidel by sneaking thallium salts
into Castro's shoes; thallium salts are a "potent depilatory that
would cause his beard, eyebrows, and pubic hair to fall out... like a
follicle deprived Samson."

Upon learning that Castro enjoyed scuba diving, the Technical Services
Division purchased a diving suit and contaminated the regulator with
tuberculosis bacilli. Vankin and Whalen tell us that "Nothing if not
scrupulous, they also treated the suit itself with fungus spores that
would cause the rare skin disease, madura foot." An American lawyer
negotiating for the release of Bay of Pigs prisoners was supposed to
give Castro the suit, but unfortunately a shuttle diplomat decided to
give Fidel an uncontaminated suit instead and spare the U.S. from a
potential diplomatic brouhaha."

It's hard to tell if this might be satire for me, seriously. :)

"And in the grandest vision of all, Vankin and Whalen describe a false
prophet: "Perhaps the most visionary proposal came from the fertile
mind of General Edward Lansdale, who supervised the Kennedy
Administration's covert war on Castro. The general hoped to spark a
counterrevolution by spreading the word to devout Cuban Catholics that
the Second Coming was imminent and that Castro was none other than the
anti-Christ. At the appointed hour, Christ, Himself, would surface off
the shores of Cuba aboard an American submarine as star shell flares
illuminated the heavens. In a pique of Cold War rapture, it was hoped,
the Cubans would rise up and spontaneously overthrow their satanic
leader."

In the war against communism, the American government contemplated
invoking no less a figure than Jesus Christ. John Wayne would have
been proud."

Ahhh I confess, it was Wikipedia, and I kind of extrapolated a little.
It's not the act of smoking, it's the act of purchesing a smoke. I
thought for the sake of exageration it was artistic licence :)

Let's see if I can find it again. This seems to be the relevant part,
and more citations are below.

"They also make it illegal for U.S. citizens or permanent residents to
purchase Cuban goods for consumption outside the U.S."

Another interesting part is that the EU has made it an offence for a
member citizen to comply with parts of the Helms-Burton act which gave
the US extra-territorial rights to confiscate assets from foreign
companies trading with Cuba. This does exist as Council Regulation (No
2271/96)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_embargo_ag...

The relevant part seem to be

"The Cuban Assets Control Regulations impose restrictions on imports to
the U.S. from Cuba and exports from the U.S. to Cuba (including gifts of
goods and cash) and on transactions with Cuba or Cuban nationals, impose
a "total freeze" or "block" on Cuban assets and financial dealings with
Cuba that enter the U.S. or come under U.S. jurisdiction, and restrict
travel to Cuba (subject to certain exceptions and licensing). They also
make it illegal for U.S. citizens or permanent residents to purchase
Cuban goods for consumption outside the U.S. As of 2006, the Regulations
are still in force and are administered by the U.S. Treasury
Department's Office of Foreign Assets Control. Criminal penalties for
violating the embargo range up to ten years in prison, $1 million in
corporate fines, and $250,000 in individual fines; civil penalties up to
$55,000 per violation may also be imposed."

It's only illegal for an AMERICAN to smoke them.

Back when it was still called the USA. In the UDB (United
Dictatorship of Bush), it's illegal to do anything that Bush says is
illegal.

From the article...
"Under trade restrictions, U.S. citizens are prohibited from buying
Cuban cigars anywhere in the world.

Americans convicted of violating trade regulations can be sentenced to
fines or prison, but it wasn?t clear Friday if a U.S. citizen had ever
been prosecuted for lighting a Cuban cigar in another country. Cuban
cigars are imported into Canada legally."

From the above, I'd say that if you want to be legal don't buy a Cuban
cigar abroad or at home. And if you do go abroad and you must smoke a
Cuban, best let somebody else from that country purchase it for you.
And when you come back to the US, keep your lips zipped.

The movie V for Vendetta make more and more sense.
