First thing that happens is that John realizes this rule as James points it out to him, when John tries to play a KRC and a Banishment by Count Germain (A) in the same turn:
A minion cannot perform more than one political action each turn.
Ethan Beers's group 2 Daughters of Cacaphony took out John's Brujah deck first, pulling off 4 KRCs, returning one with an Echo of Harmonies and making that 5 KRCs, each with 3 pool on John, and finished him off with a total of 5 mini bleeds for 1 with his daughters. James also put Tara into Torpor from combat. John took James's anti Nosforatu deck down to four before John was ousted and James rallied back up to 7 pool.
At this point Adam's Toreador deck is sitting at 2 pool with 5 votes sitting, with Raphael the Inner Circle member out. Between James and Adam is Judson Robinson's Malkavian deck.
Jud's Malkavians with the help of Lutz von Hohenzollern runs over Adams Toreadors, and then James's Nosforatu run over Judson's Malkavians.
At this point it's down to James versus Ethan, each with a victory point.
James has 4 pool.
Ethan has 12 pool.
James bleeds Ethan for 1 pool with two vampires, knocking him down to 10 pool.
Ethan on his next turn Minion Taps a vamp for 2 pool, and with that same vampire Ethan rescues one of his two vamps from Torpor. This newly rescued vampire attempts to hunt, with an extra stealth, but is blocked by one of James's Nosforatu and knocks this vampire back to torpor. Now it's down to Nosforatus Bum Rushing Ethans Daughters of Cacophony. James Governs the Unaligned and bleeds Ethan down to 7 pool. Now James is at 6 pool but has an army of 7 healthy and scary Nosforatu and is looking in great shape to take the game, with Ethan left with only 1 pool more and a single anemic Daughter of Cacophony in play. Geal Pilet calls a KRC, which fails at 4 vs. 4 votes. Ethan passes turn after discarding a Voter Captivation. Next turn James puts Ethan's last Daughter in torpor and begins the process of bleeding Ethan's last pool away with two Govern the Unaligned's and a basic bleed for 1, ending the game with Ethan and Judson sharing second place and James taking the Game Win with 3 Victory Point.
