Do it for teh lulz

I thought about suggesting that Duncan and Miri go talk to Raekel, but I don't know if Lyle Kersten would appreciate the audience. He could tell us, "Leave," and we would, whether we wanted to or not.

Raekel will be done with the test soon anyway. Then it will be quite understandable if she doesn't want to hang around Lyle after that. She can join us then if she wants to. I'm not sure how long we will be able to speak with Elisabeth before she is presented to the Prince, along with Andrew.

It's going to be odd, playing the only male character among the neonates. Too bad about Nicholas leaving the game. He's not the first we've lost, though. Zer0Morph was going to play a Gangrel, but he's taken a leave from TCI for a while. z.o.o. (Victor) is gone. 8people (Lauren) had apartment and health troubles, and may not return. We need more players who post often... where can we find more people like me, with no social life? LOL

Jerome and Corinna (simison and Eliza) aren't gone, but they left Elysium; and it almost feels like they're gone since they haven't posted in over 10 days. Guys! Let us know you're alive! Send funny links to cute kitties or wacky videos.

Eliza is on holidays and she comes back on Wednesday. As for Simison I took away all of jerome's night, so he can't really post until night is over (which is about soon enough, don't worry).

Lulz! I bounced you to the top of the page this time, Duncan.

You've done that to me a couple times now. XD

Anyway, yeah, Raekel's inner monologue is going something like this: "Oh god, oh god, I want away from him. Why him? C'mon, wake up! Wait, I don't dream anymore. OH GOD!" So don't worry, after he cuts her hand off, decides that the sample is not enough, and then goes to the elbow, she'll be over to visit you guys and be the poker machine.

I meant that they hadn't posted anywhere on the forum, including here. I didn't know Eliza was on vacation though. I eagerly await her return. I'm sure she'll bring us all souvenirs from her holiday, right?

LOL I didn't really notice.

BTW, I don't think Lyle will cut up to the elbow. A hand should be good enough. However, make sure it's the left one, or introductions will be awkward.

PS - How do you feel about the nickname 'Stumpy'?

Sounds like Claudia is eager for the night to end too. That's probably because she has another Sabbat attack scheduled for tomorrow night. Hope your characters can fight.



Oops! I thought I put that in spoiler quotes! Oh, well.

Time heals all wounds, I'm sure a letter opener is bashing damage. They're not exactly... sharp.

I'm sure I can hide well enough. XD

Yeah, well, Claudia promised me she'd tell you I was away (I couldn't do so myself, my crappy internet connection was even crappier - imagine my surprise that it actually could get any worse - due to a really bad storm and I couldn't get teh fire fox to load the TCI board) ...

You promised, Claudia! You prooomiiiiised! Now I'm mad at you. (Unless, of course, you got a few lulz ready. I sure have one for you, but I'll hold out on you now. Revenge is a blood sausage, as we say here!)


Anyway, once I settle in comfortably, I'll be active again - I returned yesterday evening with teh 'Deutsche Bahn' (German train ... or whatever you'd call it) and it was a torture... it always is. That's why I need a day off, hehe.
I'm keen on finding out about things going on in Elysium ... and then, poor Corinna is going to suffer some more. Oh, the agony! It's unbearable! ... No, wait. I'm not supposed to tell you about this, right? Damnit. I kinda need you to forget about this stuff. Mkay? Good, good.

*steals away with bags full of souvenirs* Uhhh ... see you sometime soon, alright? Bye-bye! Noo, nooooo, I'm not hiding anything, why would you think that?

Hey Eliza,
what are you complaining about? You know the advertizing slogan of the rairoad company: "Genießen Sie das Leben in vollen Zügen! Deutsche Bahn" (Sorry folks, this pun can't be translated. Well, in vollen Zügen genießen means really enjoy, and volle Züge can also be crowded trains) And anyways, who needs the air conditioning on the train working? The draft of it is bad for your neck

Yay I finally posted. Sorry for the serious delay there people. For some reason, my email decided not to send me anymore notices that there were new posts.

That aside,
welcome back Eliza

Claudia has me laughing about the phrase "kindred bullocks" in Kogamitsu's post.

Now imagine Lyle's trail of thoughts as he hears those two.. with their respective accents and stuff..
"what the hell are those two speaking about ? what happened to Shakespeare's language ? shit, am I that old ?"

Not truly an ultra Lul, but I ranted on the VtM 20th anniversary Blog :

http://blog.vampirethemasquerade.com/post/2011/06/03/Bradstreet-Fan-Feedback-Malkavian.aspx

Go get'em, Claudia! rawgGHRR! LOL

You're right about the Malkavians. I love when you told about the Malk in your LARP, who was sniffing all the women's hair to give the creep effect. Subtle signals can set off our mental alarms a lot more effectively, and be a lot creepier, than prancing around and acting crazy.

The first LARP I was in, two Malkavians were walking around spouting random dialogue from the cartoon "Pinky and the Brain." Everybody laughed, and said, "Oh, those wacky Malkavians!" But then there was the guy who merely positioned himself near groups and began mumbling to himself, having whispered arguments that nobody could make out. Nobody knew for sure whether he was supposed to be Malkavian, but it creeped people out enough that the group would break up and move elsewhere. I laughed harder at that than the fishMalks.

[Of course, I also liked looking at the model in your link. I'd love to have a wild night with a woman dressed like that, as long as I could keep her away from the knife drawer... and keep her teeth from my throat.]

Duncan you got your inbox full, I think

I'm not even showing you guys the gal they chose to represent the Tremere clan.
Well, yes, actually, I am :

Clic at your own risk


Now I know the World of Darkness is not the World of RedNecks with trucks and Puff Daddy style, I know it's early 90's, but come on, srsly ? I hate stereotypes, I hate when kindred only define themselves through their clans... :-/ Shit, you guys can imagine Kersten wearing a robe'n'stuff ?

What's that? They hired the one D&D artist who hasn't heard about Bikini-chainmail

-

I mean it's a good picture, but seriously ? The hair, the makeup, the purple velvet dress ? She looks nice as a stereotype or as some, but even for me, that's TOO MUCH.
(plus, even though I like velvet, and I consider myself goth, purple is just.. not the best color..
maybe the fact that the girl is Spanish has not helped me accept it)


I had the exact same reaction when I saw that picture than when a Masquerade GM presented me a Toreador Prince as looking like this :




(nota bene : I'm a huge fan of Bela Lugosi)

YES!
On Halloween or just to mess with people's heads.
I can see it. Definitely

With a dramatic cape and throwing it over his shoulder with a condescending look XD

Nevermind, forget I asked !

??? Last night, my Inbox was 40% full. I've since cleaned it out, but I can't imagine that one post would take it the extra 60% towards full. Something must've been temporarily glitching... maybe because I was moving stuff to Archives (which was nearly full), and then deleting old stuff.

That Tremere photo is just silly. So are the Brujah photos, which show some anarch with an H&K MP5 (and very good hair). They are going for clan caricatures, instead of clan archetypes. Too sad. Plus, I sincerely doubt they are still choosing pictures this close to printing... they're supposed to have this thing done by the Grand Masquerade, and that's only 2 months away. Our 'votes' for best picture mean nothing.

Here are the Brujah pics:

Those picks are just weird Do you need a weapon to show you're passionate about what you do and somewhat rebellious?
I don't get it.

(nevermind Duncan, I thought it was because you were online but my PM had not been read)

I've seen the Brujah picture, but yes, those ones are the ones chosen already and stuff. The Malkie one was worked on and stuff. Printing books is faster than you think, plus all material is almost over (open discussions about systems is closed, though).




Hey, those Brujah Pictures make me think of Theo Bell, so I guess it's "alright" ^^'
Still, stereotypes are just that, stereotypes

You know Claudia, no character seems to notice Estela's loud outburst in the room.

I know ! I asked raekel about it but time zones have haunted us. Meh, I'll go around it somehow (toreador weakness maybe ? Tremere ritual prank so hearing doesn't work ? :-D )

Well, at least it will save me from having to write Estela figuratively sinking through the ground in embarrassment

Maybe they're to used to having weird/loud things happen with a certain trolling Tremere in the city?

Miri don't understand no spanish! What she don't understand, she don't hear! O:<

Also, if Claudia is so compelled, walking off from Miri's approach to see Estela is completely understandable. xDD
