Digging into the various volumes, the city politics seems to set the Archons up as Barons of sorts. This would mean that they are responsible to monitor and prevent over feeding, and anything which violates the masquerade, which over feeding would cause. So using that as a basis, I am pretty sure Sharon has the authority. Whether she even knows the process well enough to navigate it is the real issue.
The term "Baron" was specifically used for the anarch gang leaders running parts of LA in the inspirational material . Now LA did not have a prince, the anarchs deposed and executed the last prince, and the vampires who lived there were all about "screwing the rulz", that's why they were called anarchs. I'm not aware of the title being used outside that context in the modern nights, although I suppose it's possible in one of the more recent editions. If you're talking about medieval Britain in the Dark Ages, that's also a very different context.
True it can happen on the fly and be a messy affair, but a lot of Sabbat mass embraces never rise, so the attrition rate will be a concern.
There are no occurrences of a Sabbat-like organization in Rebirth yet, but the newly reborn "shovelheads" had to dig themselves out after getting bashed in the head and buried with almost zero vamp blood in their systems. And given that they usually start with just a single blood point, that's a tall order if they had limbs broken when they were murdered, or their heads caved in with a shovel by overly rough Sabbat vampires who viewed them as little more than potential canon fodder. A lot of Sabbat vamps revel in their physical superiority over mortals and are anything but gentle. Without blood a vampire can't heal. Not Enough Blood+Serious Injuries=Torpor (ie. lalaland).
You can institute limits on the number of ghouls you allow in your domain, and throughout history, lords and ladies have used this to play favorites and to manipulate their "flock". I am pretty confident that Carmen will be preserved in some fashion, and of course Laurie as well.
I agree with you.
Mirri is currently walking around with vampire vitae in her system,
She does? Currently? Why do you think that? Do you have some advanced knowledge of Update 8?
which if not managed can be a breach of the masquerade.
Only if she's aware it's vampire blood.
I see the MC having his "Harem", being part of a larger Harem, which in turn is ultimately in the power structure of the Vision Girl. All vampires have a power structure, even the ones who claim they don't. The MC is a powerful vamp by right of his sire's blood. He can probably justify, once that gets out, whatever he wants to do, as long as Calisto does not say no.
Peace
True enough. Although if the MC and Sharon mutually enthrall each other, than Sharon potentially gets a veto, unless Sharon is already secretly enthralled to someone else, in which case that someone else gets the veto.
Both the MC and Sharon would embrace someone to save them based on what I have seen in their personalities.
I'm skeptical that Sharon would embrace Carmen or approve the MC embracing her, at least not yet. She still has a grudge against Carmen for trying to kill the MC and was expecting the MC to eventually drain Carmen dry as punishment.
Right now, we do not have a good feel for how LikesBlondes is treating this, except for the loss of humanity and free will aspect of the more frequent feedings. The freewill loss depends greatly on how aligned the host and the parasite are to begin with. Andrew and Sharon could likely pump a lot more blood in, as they are on the same page. However there is evidence that doing this will have more dire effects on Andrew so we are left with the image at least, that Sharon and Andrew advocate starving the ghoul.
All of our information on this in game has come from that indisputable expert Sharon who clearly knows everything there is to know about vampires. There is no way that her understanding could be incomplete. There is no way that she's been blinded by her own biases. Right?
