Here we are again, with most of us off Hiatus. The storylines are beginning to come full force, so be careful out there!

STAFF POSITIONS: Please note the names of the current staff. You will also notice we are rotating out ST duty throughout the players. This will give you a better insight as to how thia works. Keep a lookout, your name might be nominated. *joy joy smile*

ORIENTATION NEW PLAYERS: The following need to attend a quick new player brief at 7 central/8 eastern tonight: Orenda, Nystilla, Baron von gohda, eliza von gohda, Myrrin, Jacob flared, desire, and Misty. If you can't make it, contact Lady Dark Wolf and we'll reschedule another time to repeat the brief.

STORYLINES: Good job to Vandevier Trikof and GROUP, as well as our other chaos-making players for a good week of RP. The STlines are getting interesting. (Zander, I luv you're new look, Luto what can I say Zander's burial was a classic)

THIATRE EMAIL RP: WHOA! I tell you what, if you're not getting in on this action it's a shame. Danaos you get a serious round of applause for your Temple in Time contributions !! To all our email participants I have to give great kudos. While we've been playing in room, the behind the scenes *what isn't seen in room* has been eye opening! Keep up the great work. If you wish to participate in this part of thia, please contact Lady Dark Wolf.

GOLDEN ANHK AWARD: Congratulations Lady Vivian for an excellent display of prowess in your RP! Great job!

As of 29 March, 2000

GOLDEN ANHK AWARD: Congratulations to Aleksandr for some excellent RP this week. You impressed the boss, you get extra pat on the back for it.

ST MEETING TEXT : Sorry, wasn't there for most of it, will post again this week.

ST STATUS for LWF: Due to my impending move I will no longer be accepting Character Sheets and STlines for approval. Please submit them to others on the Staff, as I don't have time enough to get to them. I will still be Online, but only when I have a breath between tasks. I'll pick up the ball when I'm situated on the Mainland. Thanks.

RESTRICTED CLANS: True Brujah and Gangrel are currently closed.

As of 17 March, 2000

SHAHEM DISCIPLINES: Last post on the subject is right here. The Shahem Disciplines are non-negotiable. The Shahem Clan will continue to utilize them. So. If you don't like them and you find yourself complaining about them in room, LEAVE. We're not putting a collar on you and locking you up in the dark. You do still have the option to leave game. If you are under the assumption that with a little bit of influence you can get them changed, lose all hopes and dreams of that. Again, the Shahem Disciplines are not a negotiable item in game. Period. Nada. Finito.

GOLDEN ANHK AWARD: Congratulations to Danaos and Fuega for setting such a wonderful example in RP this week. Well done!

RETURNS: Welcome back to our GAME MASTER, JAKE, Rose and DrFaust. YAY YAY YAY! *jumps up and down with joy and hands alllllllll the paperwork to them.*

Please make note that obscenities are not encouraged in thiatre. Specifically the F word. And I know everyone knows what this is. It's rude, it's obnoxious, and it's extremely offensive. A ruling in the past has been set. Again it will be posted: Anyone found using this word will be docked 15 xp for the first offense. Second offense you will be suspended for a week. Third offense..yup..you got it..you're banned. Let's try to clean up our act ok?

Keep in mind that the Staff have a high level of integrity. None of the staff have malicious intent, nor would "boot" anyone from VP. So let's keep our accusations to ourselves.

It has come to the attention of the staff that the scene with Danae/scott seemed unfair. After reviewing the scene and speaking with the ppl involved, the staff has found that there is no proof that scott acted in an ooc malicious manner. It was a legal kill whether or not it was an agreeable action.

SHAHEM DISCIPLINES: There has been some question raised about the misuse of disciplines for the Shahem Clan. Please note, that when you visit the site of the Shahem, that there are two listings. "Shahem Discipines" and "Shahem Disciplines (LARP RULES)." Currently we don't have a written record posted for the Shahem Disciplines. We DO have a record of LARP RULES which should be used as a guide. Please keep this in mind, as the Shahem Disciplines were in development IN GAME. Meaning, some of the Shahem Disciplines can have a broader meaning. If you have any qualms about this, see Lady Water Fox.

RPING NATURE/DEMEANOR: If you're not using your Nature/Demeanor as a guide for behavior more than 50% of the time, and ST will let you know. Your XP could suffer. If you have a problem rping out your current nature/demeanor, consider creating a more suitable character with a nature/demeanor that would be feasible to use.

PTOLEMOS Lvl 5: PTOLEMOS Deny Iron's Bite is employed much as Celerity is. Therefore, is considered an auto when employed.

WELCOME: Welcome to all the new players for the month of February. Nice to have you.

As of 05 February, 2000

ATTENTION! WARNING! ALL PLAYERS! Be advised: This game is recommended for those 18 years or OLDER. VPlaces is a forum for those 18 or OLDER. All players are expected to act responsibly in this forum. Players found acting in an irresponsible manner with minors (cybering, sexual implications, etc) may be asked to leave, AND Thiatre will be designated as an 18 or OLDER site. AND MINORS will be asked to leave. Please keep this in mind. Thiatre DOES NOT encourage such behavior.

As of 24 January, 2000

GOLEN ANHK AWARD: Congratulations to Cyan for a wonderful job with the RP this week. Keep up the good work!

ALL PLAYERS: Please update your character sheets with everything you've earned through experience and send to LWF at Ari_Wolf@hotmail.com. Still waiting for a bunch. Try to get this done within the next two weeks. By February 1st we'd like to have them all in. For those who acted promptly, thanks!

NEW BLOODLINES: Thursday Jan 27th the staff will present two bloodlines for consideration. The Kiyasd and the Lamia. The players will be allowed to vote for bringing in one of the suggested bloodlines for the game. Just to add a bit of a change. If you want your voice to be heard, do your research and.. BE THERE!

POSITION APPOINTMENTS: Please be aware that the decision made regarding Position Appointments needs be kept completely IC. There was NO OOC consideration. You want to complain? Do it IC.

OOC IN ROOM: Effective immediately, all OOC in room WILL CEASEif there are one or more players RPing. Take your chit chat to the Voice Chat or to IMs. There's no excuse for interrupting RP. You will notice a Java Prompt instructing you to keep the OOC chit chat in IMS when you enter the Thiatre Hall.

As of 17 January, 2000

ATTENTION MAGE PLAYERS: It has been agreed that if you wish to, you can transfer your current character rather than starting new. In this you can keep your attributes/abilities/virtues/merits&flaws if they pertain to VtM/Backgrounds if they pertain to VtM. You will receive your generation/disciplines as per creation rules. Use same system if you transfer over to Bastet or Garou. You will loose EVERYTHING Mage specific *i.e. rotes, arete, artifacts, etc* Then you can sink your xp's into your character after the creation is finished. Please see LWF, e-mail, or ICQ to transfer this week or it will be assumed you don't wish to do so. The XP offer is only good for the rest of this week.

DISCIPLINE USE/IMPROVISATION: If you use a discipline make sure you know what it does, who it affects, how long it affects and the retest. FAILSAFE IS: READ the discipline from the BOOK. VtM 2nd edition rules. LOTS of IMPROVISATION done this week with disciplines, didn't look to kosher.

REPEAT! ST KILL RULE: Effective immediately, ST's main characters can now kill. We have seen in the recent past those that are reckless to a fault in their RP with the main characters of the staff, as they take that little rule for granted. This is only a trial period, and don't expect to see the STs go on a killing spree. We don't need this kind of excuse to do such a thing. In the past we have brought in NPCs that CAN kill. This will be no different. Try not to panic, we're just pushing careful RP. hehe.

WEEKLY WEAPONS QUESTION: What damage do you do if you take that bag of rocks and sling it at someone? Answer- 3 dmg in this case since it's being used as a bludgeoning weapon.

WEEKLY DISCIPLINE EXPLANATION: DEMENTATION Level 2, Mind tricks: The Vampire is able to induce hallucinations within the victim's peripheral vision. The images appear to be fully real, but they can only be seen for a second or out of the corner of the eye. The victim will have a hard time convincing others of what she sees. The vampire causing this effect has no control over what the victim sees. The unnerving effects from the use of this power can last from one night to months. The efects occur sporadically but mostly at night, and usually when the person is alone. they usually take the form of the victim's subconscious fears, but the ST should let his imagination run free when describing them.

System: The vampire rolls his manipulation + subterfuge (difficulty equal to the victim's perception + self control or instincts).

As of 10 January, 2000

UPDATED BANNED PLAYER LIST: Fire-Mage, Damian_Malichai, Damien_Vryce/Freak_of_Nature/_Elrick, Donagal/Owl. Please avoid encouraging these individuals to frequent knarl pages.

BLOODLINES: Again, for those that haven't been told, only the clans listed in the online rules will be accepted for submission. In addition to the Vamp clans, you also have the choice of most of the Bastet Prides, and the Garou Tribes. With this there are about 50 or so creatures to choose from.

WEEKLY WEAPONS QUESTION: If you want to arm yourself with rocks, the particular reference on the rules page for weapons states rocks do 3 dmg. This is palm sized/baseball sized rocks. You can carry up to 10 per bag, any more would be pushing it. That counts as one weapon.

CLAN EMNITIES/HATREDS/STEREOTYPES: Watch the clan stereotypes and such, you may find yourself going w/o xp for particular scenes if they are ignored.

As of 02 January, 2000

CLARIFICATION of QUIETUS LVL 4: Quietus Level four, Blood Agony, takes an action to activate. Secondly, the Assamite may coat her weapon with as many bps as the weapon can hold. *i.e.* a daggar could forseeably hold 2 bps of blood, whereas a longsword could hold 4 bps of blood. For each bp of blood the assamite commits to coating the weapon, she can cause aggravated damage. Example of use: Jerk-boy has a longsword that does 4 norm dmg. Jerk-boy spends 4bps to coat his longsword. If Jerk-boy is successful in hitting 4 times he does the following damage: 4 agg first hit, 3 agg 1 norm second hit, 2 agg 2 norm third hit, 1 agg 3 norm for the last hit. This is assuming he hits all four times. After that, he'd need to recoat the weapon. Otherwise, it reverts to 4 normal damage. No coating bullets, but fingernails are allowed. This would not affect Protean claws, since claws do agg dmg anyways.

HAVEN DEFENSES: Attention Haven Page administrators! Please note you should outline your haven defenses on each area of the haven to discourage unwanted visitors. Or if you want to give a big picture, place it on the front of your haven. Just a suggestion.....We don't want people thinking they can just romp through the haven when there are security measures established.

As of 28 December, 1999

SCENE ISSUES: If you disagree with how a ruling went in a scene, or something doesn't look right, IM the ST after the scene. Avoid addressing the issue in room. Remember, ST's are human too, so treat them with a measure of respect. Keeping control of the scenes with LOTS of players is hard work!

Be Advised

STs/PLAYERS :If a player chooses to be abusive to an ST or even another player in any shape, form or manner, the offender will be suspended immediately and placed on ignore. The offender will have an opportunity to plead the case at the ST meeting following the incident. ST's will save such text and distribute it to the other staff to justify the suspension. First offense 1 week. Second offense 2 weeks. Third offense, expulsion from game. NOTICE THE PENALTY FOR IGNORING SAID WARNING. There is NO cause to be verbally abusive to anyone. This is a forum of friends, and we want to keep it that way. If you don't like it LEAVE.

DRUGS/FOOD/ALCOHOL: Keep in mind, when RPing, in order for Drugs/alcohol to affect Kindred, the Kindred must feed from an inebriated mortal/drugged out mortal. Also, don't expect your disciplines and skills to work as normal since there will be side effects from such foolery. As far as eating or drinking, anything consumed will be rejected by a Kindred's body unless they have the specific merit "eat food" within one round. The character may expend a WP point to avoid Vomitting for that scene.

RP TEXTS: Please submit rp texts weekly to Ari_Wolf@hotmail.com NLT sundays at Noon Central, so I can get through them all and have the experience points turned in.

NON ESSENTIAL GESTURES: For the consideration of all, please keep all non essential gestures to a minimum and please, if you see roleplaying going on in room, refrain from using non essential gestures. The Staff will ask you to refrain if they see it during RP.

WEAPONS: Again, as a reminder, ALL WEAPONS go through Nite Shadow/Loric no matter what the creature type. This means all Melee/Firearms and Ammunition for such. To gain a weapon please see the Weapons Rules Page. **STs, if you have an NPC that needs weapons, SEE NITE/LORIC or LWF/RANNA.** Specialty weapons will be reviewed on a case by case basis. 8 Agg weapons are not generally approved. If you are seeking to obtain a relic, be prepared to go on a quest of some sort, IF you manage to be successful on the quest, be prepared to pay LOTS of XP if the item has special properties.

NPCS: If you wish to run an NPC, please bring forth your request to the STs. You will be required to furnish a STline, goals, and timeline for review.

AVS : Please be advised, that anything larger than regular mega avs are requested not to be used in thiatre. Normal 102x116 megas may be used under the condition that the room is not filled with them and you're not sitting on top of someone. In such cases where the room is cluttered, an ST may approach the players to downsize for the time being. Nudity is not acceptible in gaming rooms. If it's not acceptible on the street, it's not acceptible here, and the STs will kindly ask you to change. YEA this is a vampire game with adult content at times, but someone has to SHARE responsibility. KIDS will get in to VP.

RESTRICTED MERITS/FLAWS: The following Merits are hereby closed until further notice: Acute Senses: All forms, Iron Will, Beserker, Ambidextrious, Special Gift, Fast Learner and Danger Sense.

RESTRICTED CLANS: The Clan Old Brujah, and Gangrel is hereby closed until further notice and we are not approving any new bloodlines until further notice.

If there is an announcement you feel needs be posted please contact LORD DARK WOLF! Thank You.

   Go!
