Did they ever explain an IC reason for killing anyone?

ribeiiru September 19 2010, 22:03:59 UTC

I don't recall any. I know my female was overall a quiet type, and I think it was just I was off on my own and he liked to kill others' PCs. As for my male, he was off investigating something, or had just been annoyed by another character and thus had gone off to avoid literally attacking them, when it occurred.

shadow_otm September 19 2010, 22:15:53 UTC

So no real IC reason, just "well I saw an opening."

ribeiiru September 19 2010, 22:19:06 UTC

Yup. Found out later this was not uncommon for him, either. Just I was the one who usually ended up playing loners.

Ugh, I'd have set the Prince on him. Six Traditions and all - destruction is the right of thine elder

But then my players know very well by now - no matter how big and bad and mean your character is and how much he can screw the other players/the game over - the GM can always make something bigger, badder and even more adept at screwing you up

But a werewolf pack would work too :)

This was during the plot where the Prince had been assassinated and a new one was coming into power, but there was still a lot of strife. I recall this because when my character came in, he tried to make as few waves as possible and got called into trying to decide who should be the new Prince, to which he said he couldn't "give a damn" and finally was bribed into choosing so they would shut up (and I think maybe $20 may have been jokingly tossed about)... so the Prince was not exactly in good shape.

Hence, werewolves.

This is why I don't play on MUDs.

ribeiiru September 20 2010, 00:53:43 UTC

Sadly this was no MUD. It was an actual LARP.

savemefrombadrp September 20 2010, 02:18:24 UTC

ugh. So LARP is like a MUD? D:

stafir September 20 2010, 04:22:44 UTC

Well sometimes when LARPing you could wind up playing in the mud....

He sounds like a frickin bully who was good at pulling shit within the rules.

ribeiiru September 20 2010, 05:37:03 UTC

He was. Thankfully, our GM was not a total pushover.

judge_doom September 20 2010, 16:31:57 UTC

And kudos to the GM. One lesson taught well might prevent this in others who see this guy get away with it.

You have a good GM, there.

Oh dear sweet mercenaries guild. ::shakes head:: Glad to see he got his. ::nods firmly:: Sadly, Vampire isn't the only genre that attracts "gamers" like that. :;shakes head::

ribeiiru September 20 2010, 05:37:11 UTC

Yeah, you get em everywhere.
