Am I right in assuming that all those bloody cards that say, "Requires
ready Prince" or "Requires ready prince or justicar" or "Requires ready
vampire with little blue polka dots on their outfit" or whatever
actually have to be played by the vampire that fulfills those criteria.
I know that 2nd Tradition has to be played by the Prince or Justicar
(specifically ruled that way) but what about those cards that haven't.
I'm specifically thinking of Atonement, 3rd Tradition and things like
that. It would be best if that messy wording could be got rid of.
LSJ, can you post the most recent versions of the errata and rulings
again, and if necessary, clean up the wording on these cards.

Mostly, yes. This is true of minion cards. Master cards that require
<blah> are, of course, not played by the minion at all.
If a minion card requires a particular skill, clan, title, etc. then
the minion playing the card must meet that criterion.

The wordings need no cleaning up.
Minion cards are played by minions. The minion playing the card
must meet the requirements stated on card text.
