Status Rules
Because Status is an integral part Kindred society, and it should be known to all, all players are required to visibly wear a Status pin designating their current Status. If you are wearing your Status pin, you are in-game. If you are not, you are out-of-game. It's that simple. Even if you have no Status, you should still wear a pin. In most cases, a person can only gain or lose one Status per game session.

Basic Status and it's colors
Camarilla Status is designated by simply a colored bead, while Sabbat status is designated by a colored bead with a black ring around it. This will designate the difference between the two types of status, as Independents may earn a little of both. It also keeps a Camarilla character from mistaking a Sabbat character's True Sabbat Status for Camarilla Exalted Status.

Loaning Status

• Any kindred may loan Status traits on a temporary basis. Status loaned in such a manner is returned at the end of the session it was loaned out. The Chief Harpy, who is loaned status by the Primogen, does not return his or her Status nightly.
• If you wish to loan Status, at least 2 other people, aside from the loaner and the receiver must be present to bear witness.
• Loaned Status is designated by a green tag.

Awarding and Removing Status

• Certain kindred, by virtue of their Station, may give or revoke Status. Sometimes this comes at the cost of temporary Status, other times at the cost of permanent Status, and sometimes for free. Check with the Storytellers before awarding or revoking Status.
• If you wish to reward or remove Status, at least 2 other people, aside from the loaner and the receiver must be present to bear witness.
• Only the Prince may remove Acknowledged or any Status that designates a Kindred as a member of the Court, with the exception of the position of Primogen. Members of a clan may remove their Primogen from office. All members must be present, majority vote must be taken and a total of two Permanent Status must be spent to remove the Primogen from office.

Negative Status

• Negative Status can be assigned by the same kindred who, by virtue of their station, can reward Status.
• Negative status may only be awarded to Kindred who have no Status to be taken away.
• If you wish to reward Negative  Status, at least 2 other people, aside from the loaner and the receiver must be present to bear witness.
• Negative Status is designated by an orange tag.

Sabbat Status

Sabbat Status is very different from Camarilla Status, as it is awarded largely by virtue of deed rather than Station. Ben Reading and Reg McReynolds will play the roles of the Bishops as "enlightened-PCs", and will handle all mechanics of Sabbat Status. If you have any questions, ask them. I trust them both, and what they say is final. If your playing Sabbat, forget all of this.
