I was going to write an entry
I had a subject. I thought about it for about half an hour while I was lying in bed, and wondered if I should write it down. Don't be silly, I thought, I've spent all this time thinking about it! Surely I'll remember it in the morning and don't need to take any notes about it!
El Oh El.
Yeah, I don't remember it at all. (-_-) So in exchange, I offer mathematical proof that every vampire in the World of Darkness is Tremere.
Clan Tremere is a pyramid structure, with Tremere on top and seven lieutenants below him. Every lieutenant has seven lieutenants below them, etc., down out to seven layers. 1+7+49+343+2401+16807+117649 = 137257 total Tremere vampires.
Now, you'd think that this is kind of silly, because surely there are holes in the structure and not every layer is filled. And this is undoubtedly true. However, there are only about 40,000 vampires in the world--much less than the number of Tremere vampires in a perfectly sound Clan Tremere structure.
Therefore, I offer a simply solution: every vampire in the world is Tremere, and anyone who claims to be from "another Clan" is simply engaging in an ancient scheme against other members of Clan Tremere. Indeed, so deep is the deception and so vicious the politics that many vampires will not admit they are truly members of Clan Tremere even when coerced using Dominate, and entire elaborate mythologies have been invented to further the myth of multiple Clans. But it's all a lie. Everyone is Tremere. Everyone.
I mean, it's math, and math can't lie.
