Self-contest equipment after banishment

Interesting.

I totally overlooked this.

and you cannot voluntarily contest cards with yourself

I understand that when you self contest a title, that title is nullified on your vampires until your next unlock, when all your vampires contesting the title may yield except one that would get the title uncontested.

And you could even pay with all/any contesting vampires to keep self contesting (only god knows why, but I am just thinking about the rules.)

Thanks for your answers, Ankha. I have been playing only for two years and some uncommon details and hard to realize.

Vampire A have an Ivory, and Vampire B (from another Methuselah) also has an Ivory.
The Ivory is contested.
If a banishment is played on Vampire A, from what I read, there's no contested (at least until he's influenced).
Is that correct?
And if instead of a unique equipment, it's a master team (for example, Fame), is the system the same?

Yes, the contest ends and during vampire B's controllers unlock phase the ivory bow is turned face up if there's no longer contest for it.

Banishment has a text where cards are moved to out of play and you do not contest out of play cards unless explicitly told so via cardtext. Hence per Banishments cardtext "any cards and counters on the chosen vampire" are affected that way.
