Power of All and tapping the acting minion

If a minion plays an action card which is cancelled with Power of All, is the acting minion tapped or not? I know that the cost of the action is paid, but I'm not sure if the minion stays tapped or not.

DI has specific reminder text clarifying that the minion untaps.

Thanks,
Ira


Power of All
Reaction
2 blood
Requires a ready anarch.
Tap this anarch and one other untapped ready anarch you control to cancel a library card as it is played. Usable even if there is no action. Not usable during your own turn.

Direct Intervention
Master: out-of-turn.
Cancel a minion card as it is played. No cost is paid. (If it was an action card, the acting minion doesn't tap. If it was a strike card, the minion chooses another strike.)

An action is not played and a vampire is not tapped until the as played window doesn´t resolve. For this matter, any DI like card acts the same way. The acting minion doesn´t get to be tapped and the cost isn´t paid eather.

I have another question regarding this card:

Anarch A plays PoA, anarch B is chosen to tap.
Q: does anarch A need to tap? or can play PoA using on the qui vive/wake/forced awakening/Eye of argus?

thx!

IANPB but yes, tap to do something means you have to tap.

Other thing is a card like Telepathic Misdirection which says "tap this reacting vampire". This is no "tap to do something" but more a "this vampire becomes tapped if he isn't already".

The action has already been played, it's just then cancelled. That doesn't mean it wasn't played. [LSJ 20001018]

DI does the same thing in both cases - cancels the card (without erasing
the fact that the card was played).

Because the action card was cancelled, the vampire doesn't attempt the action, so the vampire doesn't tap. [LSJ 20081213]

as the vampire hasn't yet attempted an action (the
canceled action card's action isn't attempted), you can still attempt an action

Correct. LSJ confirms it for similarly-worded reaction cards: [LSJ 20031117]

Correct. Card text: "tap to"

Relevant card text:

The Mole (dom): Only usable when you are being bled by a younger vampire. Tap this vampire to cause the action to fail.

Babble (DEM): Tap this vampire to untap another ready minion.
