{Vampire: The Masquerade - OOC} New York by Night

From Ash's last post on IC:-

OOC: Actually, unless Reaper made a change, Gabe is older than Nikolai. So wouldn't he be "our youngest apprentice"?


Yes, if she's being literal. Aisling could well be either misinformed, or using the metaphor that age = status to make Gabriel's position on the totem pole clear... Take your pick.

For over a month, Nikolai's stat block has said:
Name: Nikolai D’Angelo
Nature/ Demeanor: Fanatic/Bravo
Clan: Tremere
Generation: 9th
Age when Embraced: 38
I've actually been thinking about lowering Nikolai's age when embraced, ironically.
 


ya, that's what confused me, Shal -
if it's age, Nik is currently older, and if it's experience being a vampire.... aren't we all playing vampires of ~6 months "experience"?

edit : except you, Shal?

To clarify Entrancement for Max (and anybody else who's interested), I'll quote the following from the Vampire rulebook:-

"This power bends others' emotions, making them the vampire's willing servants. Due to what these individuals see as true and enduring devotion, they heed the vampire's every desire. Since this is done willingly out of love (albeit a perversion of it) instead of through sapping the subject's wills, these servants retain their creativity and individuality."

Note that this power can be resisted temporarily, by a function of Willpower (it only has a profound effect as long as you can see the user, as well).

Any questions? Feel free to ask them.

Regards,

Barry


PS - Sorry about the mind-control, Festy...

Before I post again, I need to know if I can still give the prince the gift that I had gotten for him when the game was just starting, a red crystal heart as big as Sabrina's hand.

No problem.

Barry - any insight on the confusion about Gabe being "older" than Nik?

(Elizabeth Entrancement diff 2 - 9,6,5,4,2,1,1 plus willpower - 4 successes (duration one month))
Holy craptacular!
I was about to ask why the Difficulty was so low for Elizabeth's Entrancement of Max, and then I looked :
Willpower of 2.
Wow - that would explain why Max didn't have the Will to go after either of the hotties in school that liked him, and dabbling in a variety of areas.
I hadn't realized you put 2 in there, Festy - it's neat seeing how different decisions during character generation come into play.

For example, it was a happy accident that I looked at Nikolai's character sheet, saw the languages listed, and just thought to say something in Spanish, on a lark.
Lo and behold, Eugenio Estevez is from Spain!
So we get a little scene there - made possible by stats. :)

And I'm glad you liked the link to the dictionary (Merriam-Webster web site).
I use it often, and wanted to confirm the spelling of soiree, so I was right there already, might as well make a link in case anyone wants it, too.
Vych informed me that it could be perceived that I was insulting people's intelligence by assuming they wouldn't know what soiree meant.
I hope that it was perceived as being helpful, instead.

Along those lines, here's a link to the google Language Tools page, in case anyone wants to find out what people are saying when speaking another language:
http://www.google.com/language_tools
Just copy'n'paste the phrase, and click Translate!
Fun stuff, methinks...

edit: ""I'm sorry." Was all he said."
oooh - that's brutally open to interpretation, Catulle.... ;)
Looks like Sabrina may have a new Boogeyman to haunt her dreams. :D

Well, Gabe'd be 'older' in terms of the time embraced (by less than half a year) but 'younger' in total terms. Probably Aisling was using age as a status term. Probably...

I liked the angle, actually (though I did worry about using mind-control out of the blue like that as some players ~hate~ it). And I'm pretty sure Max is well within concept.

And the Prince's 'open' statement? Yes, it is, isn't it?

Now onto the bulk of the reason for this post - I'm going to be out of the loop from early on Friday 7th March till late on Sunday 9th March (both GMT - the time of this post is 23:12 GMT). I'll try to wrap the scene by then and cover some rapid 'downtime' sufficient to set you folks up to run your own scenes as 'filler/builder' if you want the 'ST free' time. Thoughts?

Regards,

Barry
