The way our group used to play them was like this:
each player can burn a vote card from his hand to gain a vote, if he burn 7
votes from his hand then he get 7 extra votes.
Is this still the way votes are played?
Combat:
My opponent move away with the maneuver of his gun, we come back at close
range as I play a meneuver card. I play Immortal Grapple, now we only use
hand strikes. As he used the maneuver of his gun he must use the gun as his
strike for this round, as a gun is no hand strike he get NO strike this
round.
Is it still the way it is played?
I use a gun, I get far and shoot my opponent. I have 2 additional strikes
this round. For those 2 extra strikes must I use the gun or am I allowed to
use other strikes?
There is a battle, it's my turn and my vampire was blocked. I choose to
play a strike and put it FACEDOWN on the table. My opponent choose to
strike too, he put his strike FACEDOWN on the table. Then we reveal our
strikes and our strikes resolve.
Is this the correct way to resolve our strikes?

For every Political Action card you burn, you get the number of votes it
says it's worth in the text (which is, to my knowledge, always 1). So,
burn 7, gain 7 votes.

The gun must still be used, but cannot, so there is no strike.
"I use a gun, I get far and shoot my opponent. I have 2 additional
strikes this round. For those 2 extra strikes must I use the gun or am

Any strike you want.
"There is a battle, it's my turn and my vampire was blocked. I choose

Maybe for Rage. For Vampire the acting minion announces strike, then
the blocking. Damage is resolved at the same time.
Hey, guys, I'm right, right? Though being wrong is more fun.

Except that, as per errata <grrrr>, you are allowed to burn only one
PA per referrendum, including the one used to call the vote, if any.

Yes, except for the above.

No.
Because of abuse from some decks, the rules regarding this are currently
as follows:
During each political action referendum (and also Blood Hunt referendums),
each Methuselah is alowed to gain exactly *one* vote from political action
cards. If you call Kine Resources Contested, that gives you one vote so,
as the acting Methuselah, you may play no more political action cards on
that referendum. Every other Methuselah may play *one*. However, if you
called a vote to burn the Elysium, since that does not come from a
political action card, you may play one on the vote, as may all other
Methuselahs.
Note that *all* cards you play during the referendum cannot be replaced
until the end of it. (So, as a reating Methuselah, no sneakily playing a
political action card for a vote, redrawing it, and getting a Dread Gaze
and playing that too, or the other way around.)
This way gives more emphasis to presence, titles, locations and the edge,
rather than seeing who can empty their hand onto the table.

Yes. You are committed to a strike you cannot perform, so you play no
strike.

You *may* use the gun (excepting things like Sawed Off Shotgun) but you do
not have to.

No. All card in V:TES, at all times, are played face up. However, you
*do* play first, and the defending Methuselah plays his second.
this gives a slight edge to the defending Methuselah.
If you want to get that edge back, consider putting cards like Primal
Instincts into your deck (so yuo can cancel your own strike and replay
another). There is a celerity card that forces the defending Methuselah
to play first, too.

Oh, yeah. I forgot completely about that errata <grrrr>. :)
No one in my group really has every tried the ol' toss out a handful of
votes every referrendum.

Well, they always say 1, and you always gain one for each one that
you play/burn, but each Methuselah is limited to only one vote from
PA cards, by the rules (section 6.3.3.1)

Correct.

Correct. Maneuvering with the gun only restricts your initial strike
for that round. [6.4.3.1]

Right. All cards are played faceup [1.6.1.1]
