Once again, I have somehow insulted you. And yet, once again, I meant no insult. There is no tongue-in-cheek, there is no passive aggressive subtext. I am being completely and utterly straight with you, and have never done anything but. I am being as tactful as I can be while addressing the points you have raised.

I'm not attempting to exert control over anyone else. I had avoided mentioning this before, but you incessantly speak as though I have been arguing against anyone besides you, which is incorrect. This is purely between us, there are no others involved besides potentially the GM as arbiter and judge over the situation.

However, I would state that I am backseat-GMing. This is because I have, in fact, GMed this, and have been running with this setting since it first started some 4 threads ago. This is not an excuse, this is an explanation. If you will, I shall cease acting as such, and attempt to remain more of a player.

I do not believe you have any ill intention, as I specifically mentioned in my previous post. I believe you're attempting to create a rich and awesome story, and I'm fully confident that you're sufficiently skilled to create great stories. However, I've also seen that your character practically removes the reason for any other vampire character's existence through his sheer power. I also know that half the roleplays I'm in die because someone decides to play the Unbeatable Death God.

Now, when you address metagaming, you have a fair point. In truth, I missuse the term, as I was referring to 'Metagamer' as the term is used in the D&D Dungeon Master's Guide, to refer to a player who loves influencing the flow of the story by maximizing the power and influence of their character. I used this unwittingly, creating this confusion and quite probably doing me no favors within your opinion of me with this seeming insult. It was not intended as such, and I hope that you understand what I was attempting to say. I apologize for the apparent insult.

Actually, his weakness is drones. I quite specifically mentioned them. Remote controlled killing machines already employed in the army, capable of destruction on a large scale and unhindered by Gabriel's psionic capabilities. They're a weakness that's easily accessed if one knows how to use them, and completely ignores all of Gabriel's powers. I don't know if you simply overlooked them, as you only mention deviations and mental blocks, but they're the big one.

I retain the right to alter the actions of my characters. Kami-no-kage is my character, and as such I am free to act upon him in whatever way I wish to. Your point is moot, as you yourself state.

Read the text above.

So you have Brittain. Okay.

If you wish to make a request, I would debate you on the validity of such. If you convince me that you are correct or if the GM states so then I shall make any alterations as required.

How would you stop a Purge infiltrator, when they're not carrying any weapons or indications of them being Purge? There is no way of knowing, without performing torturous interrogation at all airports. You seem to forget that Brittain is a country, and infiltrating a country unarmed is a matter of buying a flight ticket. It's not like they're planting bombs, at which point they would have been stopped quite rapidly. It's just dudes who occasionally send an Email to their bosses.

Also, a vampire infiltrating the Purge would be laughable, as they'd need to wear a hazmat suit to ensure they didn't burn to death from all the holy water, incense and dead man's blood in the air. Furthermore, all Crusaders are outfitted with infrared visors. Someone lacking body heat is going to get noticed. If you want a vampire's thrall to infiltrate, however, that's far more plausible. I would prefer it if you discussed it with me first, however.


Why France? Also, I believe transporting the entire cast to France might form a problem, especially as Magnus seems to be planning a second attack on US soil.
