The
Game
At the beginning of the game, the Pander was desperate because he had no Lecacy of Pander in his hand (amazing!), and played Protected Resources.
The Weenies -instead of attacking their prey (Ventrue2)- agreed with the Ventrue2 to get rid of the Malkavian first. As a consequence of this agreement, Greeger Andersen was sent to torpor by a weenie and diablerized. The Malkavian Methuselah could not believe what was happening. He was in trouble, because he could not bleed his prey for more than 2 pool.
On the other hand, both Ventrue Methuselahs had already brought princes into play (Queen Anne -Ventrue1-, and Rake -Ventrue2-). Therefore, the Pander was unable to make his Legacy of Pander votes pass.
From time to time, the Pander called votes (Kine Resources Contested) affecting both his prey (Ventrue1) and his predator (Malkavian), with the help of the Ventrue2's votes (who was interested in the destruction of his political rival, the Ventrue1, who had just brought Quentin into play). The Pander was manipulating the Ventrue2 into believing that he meant no harm by calling those votes, but he was waiting for a Cryptic Rider to come, which will allow him to play a successful Legacy of Pander vote. His plot succeed, and every Pander in play had 1 extra vote. However, the opposition of both Ventrue Methuselah was strong enough to keep the Pander at bay.
Afterwards, the Ventrue2 ousted the helpless Malkavian Methuselah from the game with several bleeding actions. (At this time, the Ventrue2 controlled: Arika, Rake, Roland Lausarian, and 1 Embrace).
Meanwhile the Weenie Methuselah unsuccessfully attempted to bleed the Ventrue2 several times, and to send Rake and Roland Lausarian into torpor, but the Ventrue2 had not run out of Majesties and Deflections yet.
Later, the Pander called a vote (Kine Resources Contested), which would destroy the Ventrue1, if it succeed. Since he could not make his votes pass on his own, he did not feel capable of ousting his prey from the game, so he decided to ask for the Ventrue2's help in exchange of not calling further Lecacy of Pander, and committing suicide in the following turns. The Ventrue1 told the Ventrue2 not to trust the Pander.
The Pander's offer was too good to be rejected, so the Ventrue2 agreed, and the Ventrue1 was ousted.
Then, the Pander was calling Kine Resources Contested, affecting his prey (the Weenies) and himself, but several times it seemed that he was not going to keep his word. The Ventrue2 warned him against calling further Lecacy of Pander, and told him to discard them.
The Pander kept his word and was ousted. Thereafter, the Weenie Methuselah tried to oust the Ventrue2 with his vampiric horde (8), but the Ventrue2 had a lot of resources (i.e., calling several Consanguineous Boon), and finally destroyed the Weenie Methuselah, by voting and bleeding.
And that was all.
