The basic strategy is pretty straight forward. Hurt your pray and anyone necessary with the kines. If there are lots of vampires coming out with votes, there should be enough bonus votes from modifiers and charming lobbies to push through votes. If its tough then try to take out the vampires with the most votes with banishments. If things are really rude and/or your prey is looking a bit low on pool, and its tricky to get votes through, don't underestimate the power of the mob bleed!(1)

(1) Editor's Note: I actually saw him bleed his prey to death in one of the rounds of the tournament. The only vote he got through prior to that point was a Banishment on my (his predator) Antonio Delgado. 1
