A beautiful dot, so captivating, mesmerizing...

Plotting.
Here to figure out how not to die...again.
Is there any information that anyone thinks I should add to this Campaign Info Tab? I will be adding things as the story progresses but for now I will just rely on the old threads robust data instead of recreating the wheel over here.
Cutting back how thin I was spread really has allowed me to focus on the last few games I have left. :-)
Pablo Neruda "Nothing but Death"
There are cemeteries that are lonely,
graves full of bones that do not make a sound,
the heart moving through a tunnel,
in it darkness, darkness, darkness,
like a shipwreck we die going into ourselves,
as though we were drowning inside our hearts,
as though we lived falling out of the skin into the soul.
I am taking liberties with the starting point for some of you, appreciate that I do this to move us forward. These starting points are simply to advance things a bit this given night...
Specifically I mean, Savio, Vitaliano, and Ranerius. Everyone else, is starting essentially where they slept for the evening.
Updates soon :-)
And we are off like a prom dress in May :-)
As she does so, she tries to discern how interested Selina is in the position.

*Sniff* He's not arrogant, he's just really passionate...
and lately if he doesn't RUSH folks end up not being available
Give a Cainite a complex it does :P

Happy Thanksgiving, y'all!
Happy Thanksgiving!

Foodnetwork is clearly spying on you *G*
I'm sorry for going MIA. All I can say is I'm sorry, and depression sucks. I'll get caught up as quickly as I can.
Durdona,
It is strength to stand against the constant storms of life.
I am proud of you and that you are here is a gift.

Understood. That sucks. Well, if you want to chat feel free to PM me :-)
Updates tomorrow
Going to work on spending xps, are there any limitations on what I can spend them on I should take in to consideration?
I know I cannot but non clan disciplines, anything else?

Other than that, everything is fair game :-)
Apologies on my delay. My soon to be 1 yr old is sick on top of my insomnia having gone berserk so for over a week now, I had been getting 2 hrs to 4 hrs of interrupted sleep a day, most days only being 2. Thankfully, I slept through the night finally and got to sleep in this morning so I managed to finally get a regular day's worth of rest (still interrupted, but I'll take it.)
Ugh, f+$#ing site is running slow the one night I can post somewhat early...
I spoke with Veronica, she is withdrawing from the game. So she is now an NPC.
FYI, I will advance both Alessandro and Michele at some point this week, sit tight, another player is behind you both in timing :-)

Everyone else, feel free to post. If you are stuck, send me a PM or let me know here.
Elysium will start soon enough so for no those of you Outside of Elysium, that is the scene to stay with for now...
I will provide an update for Geoffroi later tonight (though maybe tomorrow).
I will also update the actions Outside of Elysium later tonight (though maybe tomorrow).
I need updates from Franz and Durdonaand Sister Maria.
Alessandro and Michele, please wait for me to prompt you both again. Thanks for your patience. :-)
FYI, I will be placing a Moratorium on spending XP starting on December 20, 2019 through the date that I lift the Moratorium, spend them if you got them :-)

Yikes. I"ll PM something in the next day
Updates tomorrow, was up early, too tired to get these large posts up...
Spending 15 for Auspex 4
Updates tomorrow, work killing mecthis week.
Work is just ridiculous right now. Updates Friday night.
The XP Moratorium is now in place. NO spending XP until I lift it. If you missed it because you did not check in this week, no exceptions.
I have next week off and I have some free time so I will be moving plot forward. If you are not posting, I will leave you behind.
Remember, I ask for posts at least every week (though the frequency will need to pick up a bit as the speed of game will pick up for a little while as some plot lines will move forward) and will remove you from the game for not posting for two weeks. I have been pretty lax in that rule over the years but I am going to have to be a bit harsher moving forward I think...
This of course does not apply to an instance where I have directed a PC NOT to post for one reason or another.
Savio, I will respond to your post tonight as I need to step away form the Boards for the rest of the day.
Just realized my last Outside Elysium post which had Vitaliano, Loremzo, and Onfroi present I did not list your names, ITV's in the prior page, will repost it later when I am back on....
I do understand your desire for increased frequency, but right now might not be the season for such change.
Aside from family visits, travels, and other stuff, a variety of jobs and businesses also peak around this time of year. My lack of posting was not from a lack of wanting to play, but simply because work has been extremely demanding in the past 2 weeks, including evenings and weekend calls.
Just saying, this is your game, do move forward, do leave behind, do change the rules for posting frequency, but I need to point out that not everybody may be able to comply due to their circumstances.
I have a few days off next week as well, but we'll be travelling with the kids to go see their grandparents and great-grandparents(who are no longer in condition to travel) - and I honestly have no idea how much time I'll have to post. This season is difficult for a variety of reasons. Apologies.
Folks, it's been fun gaming with you, but unfortunately I think I'm going to withdraw from this game. Really sorry, but I need to offload a few games.

The posting rule has been around for a while now.
I am merely providing Notice that I will begin to enforce it.
Understood about travel and the season, this is more of a post Holidays warning.

No worries, I know you are DMingva few games as well and that is always time consuming!
Happy gaming! :-)
Geoffroi, I will update you one last time then advance that scene forward, that will be tomorrow or Wednesday (maybe Thursday) as it is a big post and will also move along a few other storylines...
Bernardo, hold here. Once Durdona posts again, I can update you.
Soon enough through the pouring rain, those of you at the Via Orsoline may indeed encounter one another.
This would be full on PvP.
Having had an issue with this before in another game I would like the following:
1. No OOC messages between Players, I will adjudicate the rules and I will call for what rolls may be necessary to be made in such scenes.
2. Remember, this is a game and not RL so don't get too heated if another PC smacks your PC up. So no sniping or shots at one another. This seems ridiculous to have to state but observe...
I don't want to experience that again.
Besides, the target here is a handful as is so each other should be least of your worries!
Thank you :-)
-------
Geoffroi, I will respond to your post once Alessandro gets his next post up.
Alessandro and Geoffroi, I will move you both along once Michele posts again.
Just an FYI :-)
-------
Those of you at Elysium are watching a potential revolt against Narses influence... Let's see how you all play it :-)
-------
Still waiting for post Holiday responses from Franz and Durdona.
-------
Bernardo, I will move you along once Durdona posts again.
-------
Happy New Year All!!!
-------
Everyone gain 1 XP for the start of the New Year ;-)
Once Onfroi and Vitaliano check in I will move forward the meeting in Elysium.
Durdona is no longer with us and will be NPC'ed as have all other former PC's. If you have any further business with her let me know and of course I will twist the plotlines around her in the proper direction.
-------
As you may have noticed we have had some attrition over the last twelve months or so and are down to 9 from 14 players. Much as it was enjoyable trying to run a game with all Clans represented, it is like herding cats getting 13 players to head in the same direction, albeit parallel to one another.
We are closing in on the 8th year of this Chronicle and I would like to have the pay off come sooner rather than later. As a result, I will not be recruiting for this game again unless we dip below 7 players and perhaps not even then.
Just an FYI, this game will not be coming to an "end" anytime soon but I do want to end this Chronicle and start a new one with these same PCs.
Hopefully, with fewer PCs (and less RL interruptions from me) that Chronicle will run a bit more smoothly.
Thereafter, we will time jump to the 1400's and you will all have a choice to either:
1. Play the Childe of your Current PC (as Michele Querini is doing in fact, Querini is the Grand Childe of the NPC Fahti Mohammad who likely only Lorenzo remembers hearing about at this point in time), OR
2. Switch to a new Clan.
I would like to do 2 Chronicles per Century (so expect the 1500, 1600, 1700, 1800, and 1900's in the future) until we reach Modern and close the game with Gehenna, when I guess we are all about 20 or 30 years older than we are now :-)
