Just curious about this. Is there anything preventing me of tapping
Zelios to pay the cost for someone elses location as they play it?

Camarilla Primogen: If Zelios is ready, you may tap him to pay the
pool cost of a location with his blood instead. +1 strength.

Yes: the fact that you don't pay the cost of someone else's cards plays.

Ok, it might just be a language thing then. From reading the text
litterally it seemed like part of the meaning of the text was to
overwrite exactly that rule. Am I the only one seeing it like that?

Especially since similar abilities are normally referred to more
specifically in relation to things you play.

Baldesar Rossellini, 8, aus for nec DOM POT, Giovanni, 4, [Gehenna:U]
Independent: Once each turn, if Baldesar is ready, he can reduce the
cost of a location or of an equipment YOU PLAY by 1 pool or blood. +1
strength.

It doesnt seem consistent. No biggie though. Who wants to pay for
other's location anyway!

It is consistent now -- we no longer use the "you play" template because the
cost reducers / substituters can be used on the costs you pay even for cards
that aren't played in the normal fashion.
