Ok, I have a question about the various types of 'Bleeding'. I was told the
other day that losing blood to a political vote (KRC or Conservative Agitation)
was not a 'bleed' and could not be countered, etc.

My question is what are the symantics that differentiate the two (your prey is
loosing pool regardless) and the dynamics as to why you would not get the edge
for calling a vote that made your prey lose pool and you would if one of your
minions caused your prey to lose pool.

Thanks,
Sorrow

The difference is such: bleeding is the specific action by a minion
against the Methuselah which results in them losing pool from the
action. Political actions such as KRC or ConAg result in a loss of
pool, but are not from a bleed. For example, you cannot use Deflection
against a Political Action which results in you losing pool.

Sorrow,
There are even more ways to cause a prey to lose pool. Get out an Army of
Rats or bring out Smiling Jack the Anarch, my favorite, to watch everybody
lose pool. All are good fun, but, only bleed actions which are successful
can be modified by bleed modifiers, gain you the edge, can be deflected,
activate bleed effects.
If you cause your prey to lose pool in a way that is not a bleed action
you are still moving toward your goal, but you aren't bleeding.

Think of your pool as such. NOT just blood. Political Clout. Mr. Brujah
man walks over to the Ventrue Chick side of town and starts to put up all
these posters saying the Ventrue Methuselah only drinks from Poodles.
Your loss of status is represented as a loss of pool. That's Domain
Challenge. Get it?
