Are vampires "played"?

General question: Are vampires considered to be "played" cards? Specific question: "Bernard [the Scourge] can call a blood hunt on a vampire of capacity 4 or less as a +1 stealth political action." .. "For non-Orun cards played by Methuselahs other than this Laibon's controller, this Laibon is considered to have 2 additional capacity." Can Bernard call his referendum on a 4-cap Laibon with Orun?

Assuming Bernard was played by a Methuselah other than that Laibon's controller, no, he can't. Bernard considers the 4-cap to have 2 additional capacity from the Orun, so his special can't target the Laibon.

[ quoted text not captured ] So, a Laibon 4-cap with three Orun and Atonement, would he be considered a 10-cap when blocking a vampire controlled by another methuselah?

Only if the Atonements were somehow played by another Methuselah (which could happen with minion-stealing shenanigans, but unlikely).

Funniest trick with Orun I have ever seen pulled off: Eze, Parthenon in play. Rumours of gehenna got called a turn earlier by the weenie horde. Eze's controller plays THREE static virtues in a row, getting 9 orun onto EZE, leaving 2 Aye (extra Aye burnt off of course). Then my grand pred, who has Arika out, calls Ancient Influence. Funny funny funny.

I mean, crypt cards are 'played' (into the uncontrolled region), but no-one except their owner knows they're vampires until they get influenced out. Not that it matters for Jozxyqk's follow-up question about Orun, but still. - Teeka

Library cards are not played into the hand. And crypt cards are not "played" into the uncontrolled region. Library cards can be played from the hand (the library hand) if the rules for playing them are met. Crypt cards can be played from the uncontrolled region (the crypt hand) if the rules for playing them are met.
