Tygerius allegiance counters and going Anarch

Does an assamite with an allegiance counter that goes anarch change sect?

If so, if he gets a second allegiance counter does he change sect again?

Yes, by nature of going anarch. A vampire many have only one sect. The most recent sect change will take precedence.

Tegyrius's card text doesn't say it (he was made before changing sect was easy, ie going Anarch), but I'd burn the Allegiance counter to prevent the conflict with game state. Therefore, the Allegiance Counter -> Anarch -> Allegiance Counter vampire should end up with only one Allegiance Counter in the end.

I couldn't find anything on the old google groups page about this. Interested to hear Ankha's take.

This can be understood in two ways: either this was an old mechanic and the "allegiance counter" is a way to say "this assamita becomes Camarrilla", in which case the counter should be understood as would a regular anarch counter, burning if you change sect; or this was a different mechanic and by specifying an "allegiance counter" without a burning clause they intended for a permanent change, as "this assamita is now bound to this pact and cannot get out of the camarilla", which could be an interesting mechanic, but which is only induce by omision of a burning clause (which is specified on other anarch cards, but not all of them).

By card text: The Allegiance counter don’t burn when you change sects.
And while the Allegiance counter are on any Assamite they are considered Camarilla.

So you turn to anarch and goes back to Camarilla right after

Sure, but that feels broken. Hoping Ankha will provide clarity and possibly a text update to handle that oddness.
