	checks watch Yep, this wank is right on time. And the spooge will just keep coming as Werewolf and Mage among others gets into play. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	palabradot 2004-01-17 03:24 am UTC (link)
	I'm hoping it won't be as bad for Werewolf. There's a lot less metaplotty stuff there than there is for Vampire and Mage. Not a lot less, but less. I'm a Werewolf fan, and I can't think of unanswered questions on the scale for this that the other lines have.... (Reply to this)(Parent)

	The basic complaint isn't unreasonable. White-wolf basically designed the Clans so that all the game's players would have a "favorite", and just ignoring any of them totally in the very last Vampire supplement, the answer-all-questions one, is kind of doing fans of that Clan a disservice.

Don't interrupt our laughter, you. It's hopeless to be the voice of reason here.

In other words... you're perfectly right. Would it have killed Justin "I desperately want to be a Ventrue to make up for my pindick" Achilli to have introduced the founder of one of the most powerful Vampire clans in the WOD? No, it wouldn't have. The person who started the thread had a point.

But it's still amusing as hell to see gaming geeks rant and squabble over this. And it's even funnier when you're one of them.

KNEW I should've posted that earlier wank

Oh, come on, this is a tempest in a teapot compared to the earlier wank about the January 12th Newsticker item!

SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA—An unprecedented rave took place simultaneously at nearly every location in the city last night, drawing almost every resident into its wild revels. The so-called “Avatar Trance” was sponsored by two groups, the Waydown Viktae and the Bay Area Bacchantes. Police and FBI attempts to shut down the city-wide dance party failed completely, and authorities were baffled by malfunctioning equipment and the “conversion” of officers and agents to the ecstatic vibe.

The onslaught of wank was tremendous, with posters defending the Cult of Ecstasy while other posters shrieked "MIND RAPE! The Technocracy was right all along!"
