A second example, to drive the point of the thread home: a gun nut conspiracy theorist. This man isn't necessarily evil, but he definitely is crazy. He also has way too many guns for his own good, and seems quite knowledgeable on their use and function. You'd prefer not to deal with him, but he has a habit of bailing you out of dangerous situations. You blow off all his theories but whenever you look into them, they always appear factually correct... is he onto something?

It is my opinion that every Carthian Mekhet ought to have a nonsensical manifesto and more guns than anyone is comfortable with them having.

When I was eight or nine years old, I found the Red Dragon Inn and thought it was the coolest thing ever. I met a girl about my age through some embarrassingly bad RP and she introduced me to Dragonrealms, which wasn't really RP and was pretty obtuse but I was a confused queer girl with my first E-crush and not about to give up.

Somehow she got lost in the shuffle but I stuck with the game. A couple years back someone invited me to TR and that was that.

Cirno's posts were making me progressively more uncomfortable and turning every thread, however unrelated, into discussions about what kind of TS he has. So, thank you.

I've tried, but after RfK I just can't get into anything else.

I had an amazing time as Hailey the ghoul. I was more active than any of my regnants, and rather than being bored or stuck with casual RP, I wound up getting into a bunch of plot, to the point where Shavalyoth actually wrote me into the metaplot so I had a very major personal stake in it. The plot affected everyone on grid and what I was doing mattered, whether people knew about it or not.

What's more, in addition to being one of the plottiest people, I was able to provide all kinds of tangible benefits to my regnants when I wasn't trying to save the world, both off screen with rolls, and on with RP. I wheeled and dealed to make sure they got this job offer or that boon. I was able to go out and play politics with the vampires even though I wasn't Empowered to speak, and in almost every case I was treated with ooc respect by all the players I dealt with. I can count on one hand the number of times I was relegated to being furniture, and I was averaging ten scenes a week.

Are there literally any other good vampire games

If by 'good' you mean has political shit, titles, feeding code, territory systems, and PvP...(The only things I can think of that RfK has and the other current GMC vamp games don't.)

No, because it's been proven time and again that stuff inevitably blows up.

I'd be happy with anything that was single sphere and had good staff. The other stuff was fun, but it wasn't necessary for me.
