If there is an issue with players or an issue with story telling. If you think ur being targeted. You need to speak up so it can be resolved. If I'm doing something wrong tell me. Don't just stop coming or get mad about everything then u take the fun out for everyone. So speak up

Not taking out the fun for every one, I'm just not feeling the fun as much as the stress from all the rules loitering and abusing.
Examples: Others can be tough and utilize their positions. When I do it, it's suddenly wrong, a'la the most recent posts. This doesn't feel fair to me. Elders can threaten, between subtly and not so much, I've seen other NPC Princes do the same- how come, in a game where tradition, political intrigue, image, and displays of the Predator over Prey relationship it is suddenly wrong to display one's dominance?
Triple Barrel Gun Lol? I feel like certain boundaries are being disrespected when inquiries are made about things already ok'd by the story teller. It's Changeling, a Triple Barreled Token who's maske is a heavy modern revolver is too much? I was getting this feeling when I was describing Allard last week. It was allowed by the ST, and Corey didn't have to allow it if he felt it was too far fetched for his Changeling game.
Sure, there's going to be shenanigans; but being honest I didn't feel Ethan's actions and the resulting happenings during Changeling was fair. Really, other than being obnoxious (in game), why mess with other characters like that? Drama can make for good stories, but just breaking down someone else's character for fun? That's not cool. What happens when you play Whack-a Nutter? Not fun things.
What powers does the Prince truly hold, really? I've read through the Vampire book and all I get from such a position is that the City is the Prince's. But I'd like there to be a clearly defined list of things a Prince can or can't do, so misunderstandings wont take place.
Surely, the best idea for Lucian now is to pass down the mantle, as , the War is over. But the real question is, is there someone truly able to take up such a responsibility that aren't already satisfied with their current position?

The triple barrel gun is w.e. i was confused because no where in the token creators guide is there anything there that says that shit. thats all on that. I question EVERYTHING not jsut you. Ethan's mage is an evil basterd that wants nothing more then to harrass people. as u can see thats what happened. hence him doing that to me to do to you. as for the whole prince thing. im playing my character. I defended someone who is a meber of my COATARIE (thats like a montley) and to jump to rash actions like a blood hunt is out of character for a prince. In regard to that whole debate what we went through is mearly politics you were questioning the way that sky was playing his character when u said he is acting outside the 1st estate. maybe sky doesnt know how to play one well enough yet? hence my defending him both in chracter and out.

Than maybe I just need time away to regain my social composure, because my initial reading of your body language and the tone of your voice made me feel like I was stupid. Ethan's mage is an evil basterd that wants nothing more then to harrass people. as u can see thats what happened. hence him doing that to me to do to you.
Brilliant. And, not saying anything against Corey or Ethan, but did Ethan get permission to use his Mage? I'm not attempting any post hoc, I'm just curious at this point. as for the whole prince thing. im playing my character. I defended someone who is a meber of my COATARIE (thats like a montley) and to jump to rash actions like a blood hunt is out of character for a prince. In regard to that whole debate what we went through is mearly politics you were questioning the way that sky was playing his character when u said he is acting outside the 1st estate. maybe sky doesnt know how to play one well enough yet? hence my defending him both in chracter and out.
I understand, now that you've brought up to me the fact he may not know how to play such a character. I was assuming since he was one, that he did his research and he'd only possibly need minor or moderate direction. So I played the role as I would have with all things set at full lengths, and I apologize for any annoyance. As I said, the beast might be getting to me.

At least we can sympathize on this matter. Which makes me feel a fair amount better.

Eh. We'll see if my Changeling brambles regrow with the font of viscus inspiration. By the way, apology accepted. I didn't see your edit until it was too late.
As for now, I'll see about tomorrow. Maybe Lucian will hand down the mantle tomorrow, but not for the same reasons he did all the years he was Prince in other places. The story goes full circle. Perhaps he'll find life as a paladin, and maybe the Sheriff's assistant to be productive in this current time.
