Yes, you're right. It will increase flaming, but who's fault is that exactly? I don't want to make you the target of this Szeszej, but can you see it from our side? Just a little?
No comment on any of the issues that people have raised in *months* and then when SushiMaker does descend from on high he gets defensive and calls the Underworld playerbase 'stupid'.
Now, I would have thought that if he was going to post at all, it'd be to smooth things over. You know - calm everybody down, and tell it from your side. Instead of that, he's blundered around and geniunely *irritated* people with his apparent poor attitude.
If you'd really like people to leave off this 'IQ' issue, then perhaps you could invite SushiMaker back here to tell us how we got hold of the wrong end of the stick with it? I won't hold my breath, but I think this is the most effective way to ask us to 'leave off' without holding a double standard.

A thoroughly proffesional response, thanks SushiMaker, hearing you loud and clear

Very sad to see you go Gendi, going to miss you on your soapbox yelling for the revolution we badly need.
I really hope that Underworld isn't beyond help, but after spending a little time on one of the Polish servers and seeing just how different the game is there I suppose its only a matter of time before the server really folds up.

This has to be the most laughable, pig ignorant sentence I've ever read on this forum. I guess since you're a moderator we won't see any action over it, just consistant over moderation of everyone else.
That's just sad. The fact you can throw around a charged word like 'racist' around, completely out of context, and the fact that I entirely expect to have this post deleted or moderated for taking you to task on it.
There's a two-tier system on this board, it allows those with green names and high post counts to build straw men and act as offensive as they like, and there absolutely no recourse for anyone that has a problem with it.
Anyway, back on topic - Is the sign really important when the buildings are labelled in English and you know what they are?

| Thread: Dark Fears |

I actually quite liked the dark fears one, most of everyone that ambushes me and wins can't defend themself when I retaliate. The reason being - its always easier to buff reputation and get lots of hp for attack. Its harder to get the same for defence.
It did turn a lot of the game on its head while it was up

Is there anyone around thats using this kind of build?
I'm trying to piece together everything I need for it, but Im not entirely sure I know what I'm doing hehe.
As far as I know (please tell me if I'm wrong) I'll need lots of:
Hit points
Defence
Crit buffing items
If anyone else is using 2h melee, what kind of items should I be looking for to make this work?

LOL
At this point someone in the administrator camp needs to agree some kind of loose age classification for BW, and decide what the rules are.
I think its sickening base hypocracy and a double standard to talk about banning anybody from the game for the sake of penciled or painted nudity, just to remind everyone here - The splash/login screen shows a partially nude Thoughtcatcher, and that same picture is featured in the game. Thats right folks. BW endorses bare naked boobies!
It's stories about people being shot and killed, entire camps massacred by bandits, tarts like Windlicht sleeping with werewolves and getting themselves pregnant.
This game has adult themes.
If your parents dissapprove of you in and amongst those, they shouldn't let you play. Restricting the enitire player bases' choice of representation, taking adult themes out of the players hands in what is a game with adult themes - because somebody has lost their pocket money - thats akin to draining a resevoir because one of the kids that went canoeing has a mother that dissaproves of him getting wet.
Indcidently, I quite like Windlicht's picture. I see abolsutely no reason why she can't go on using this while the bloodwars site itself contains drawn nude characters. I made the vNHv clan picture myself, and the Theatre de Croix picture is actually one of my favourites since unlike most of the clan pictures in the game - it's on topic. It looks dark, and it looks like vampires.
If we are going to see a big change in the game's policy like this, I do hope that the administrators are willing to set the example by removing the game content that would break their own rules.

| Thread: Nocturnal House |

We've held off making a thread here for a while now, mainly since it was thought best to see if our core membership was stable and that both myself and our esteemed tart of a leader Windlicht were going to continue to play for more than a couple of weeks.
Im very pleased to say that it appears to be that way, and now we're hoping to fill out our ranks a little. Currently, we have a 2 point requirement.
We are a light roleplay clan, we don't expect people to roleplay the game 100% or anything like that, but our ingame raison d'être is that we run a (very matriachal) clothes and fetish boutique. It strictly for fun, and we're very big fans of overblown germanic accents.
We realise that Blood Wars is supposed to be a little bit of fun, and something casual to keep open in the background as everyone carries on with their real lives. As such we are not in the habit of kicking members that don't log in of a day, and really wouldn't kick anybody unless they were inactive for some time.
All that we ask is that our collection of mistresses and concubines do try to help with sieges, like corsets, and have a similarly dysfunctional sense of humour.
If you would like to become a tarty soldier in Windlicht's army of depravity, just post one of us (Windlicht or Neufreiha) a mail and/or apply in game

Hope this is the right place hehe
There appears to be a distinct lack of shoes in Bloodwars. It really is a shame, I mean, especially since they'd be so easy to work stats for. For instance -
3" Strappy heels = -5 Agilty, +10 appearence
Knee high boots = +5 toughness, +5 reputation
White trainers = -5 appearence, +2 agilty
Just a thought at least
I guess it might mess with the game if people have yet another item though

This appears to be a complaints forum for reporting issues or actions you belive in breach of the terms of service. I don't think its really for parley over ingame actions and wars.
Private channels, like the ingame mail system, might work better for that.

Okay, it appears you dont want to keep this to a private channel.
First - Your member leaving the game is his own decision. That had nothing to do with me, he had options, like finding another clan for instance.
Second - You did not ask us to stop attacking you. After sieging us as a knee jerk reaction to being spied on, you made outright demands, and we didnt care much for them. Thats it, basically. We thought you were rather rude, and we didn't see a need to take orders from you. Thats a game choice, and a game dynamic.
Third - Its absolutely astonishing how you can post a thread such as this, when I have a mail in my inbox from you, that threatens us with unending attacks. I don't believe I'm allowed to post the link to it because of the forum rules, but I find it rather off colour that you're posting a thread accusing my clan of exactly what you threatened us with yesterday.
Now, again, I'd ask that you please keep anything futher on this matter to private channels between us.

<-- vNHv deputy
I can clear this from my clans perspective.
I'm not going to rag on about how this got started, because frankly - its all entirely within the scope of existing game mechanics. There was a bit of a falling out
Thats all.
Eldrick's clan is twice our size (six members to our three) His members have been of equal or higher levels than us in addition to that.
We've been getting some rather strange mails, basically threatening us with all kinds of awful in game retributions unless we do what he says. Our answer - not likely. We've been counter attacking, making friends, and carrying the fight back. Most recently, we've gained a temporary member, a high level friend to help us with sieges.
I'm not going to get into the personal/drama llama side of this, the facts of the matter are pretty much that. He's been trying to push us around in game, and its not working out for him.
Neither party has cheated, sent abusive messages, or broken the any of the rules of the game in any way that I know.
If theres anything else, I think it can be safely kept to private channels for all involved.

Sorry, didn't realise it was a bit mundane, was more exciting that the fights I've been in up to now. I dont generally pick on people that are higher than me.
Thanks for the tip though, will remember about the arcana. I haven't been playing so very long, so I don't know which buttons do what yet

((It was going to be about a club, but then we got sieged by mean people
))
So, I woke up first the next night, or should I say, I got woken up the next night. The place is still a complete wreck from the aftermath of us getting in from Cage last night. A few empty lambrini and vodka bottles that Wind and I got through, bit of a mess in the kitchen where we got carried away with ripping some pretty young thing out of his leather pants...but hey, thats normal. We tell the pets to throw that stuff in the skip and set fire to it, quick shower, and then we watch repeats of Countdown.
It's traditional. Hangover day is always a bank holiday for us.
What's not normal, or traditional, is that someone is shooting our windows out.
If theres one thing thats guaranteed to put me in a bit of a pissy mood, its people waking me up when I've got a hangover, and trying to fucking kill me and my best friend.
The tv shatters, and through a fresh tear in the curtains, I can see just a little of whats going on outside.The pets are running over from across the street like the good little puppies they're paid to be, and its only a second or two before I can hear hoarse swear words and the windows breaking upstairs.
Oops, they woke Wind up too.
Waking Wind up like this is really all wrong. She's not an early evening person, so its best to leave her alone and let her wake up in her own time. Not shoot up her house and things like that, it makes her a bit premenstral. I'd go as far as to say, its really not a very good idea.
"Freiha!"
Oh here we go...
"Yes?!"
"Set the telly to record Countdown will you? I'm going to be a bit busy scratching some pillock's eyes out to watch it,"
"They shot the telly!"
"You what?!"
"I said, THEY SHOT THE TELLY!"
"..."
She went quiet at that. I don't often see her lost for words, no, not at all. When she spoke again, I don't think I've heard a tone more terrible. It felt like icicles.
"...that is just rude..."
The puppies managed to chase them back to the crossroads, but it looked like they were hanging around. Yupyup, its a siege. Since we haven't got a tv, and we drank all the lambrini last night, I couldn't quite think of anything worse. Wind stumbled down the stairs as soon as the shooting stopped, still in my corset I might add, but heh...not important right at this moment.
"Think they want us to stay here," I said, peeking through the curtains.
"Where's my phone?"
I handed her mine, feeling a bit bewildered. I've only been in a siege before once, and that didn't work out for me too well. Thats why I moved in with Wind, its a nasty old world out there, and we all need friends to help us out now and then.
Wind has lots of friends. These 'Spire' jokers are about to find out about all about it.
She took the phone and starting dialing, her nails clicking against the buttons. Pressing it to her ear, she waiting for it to connect.
"...shooting my telly...oh, we'll see about that..."

Someone was at the door. No peace, I swear. None. There's always something going on in the city, half of its just loud. The other half is loud too, but its trying to kill you as well.
"Freiha, dahlink, vould you be a dear unt answer ze door?"
"Oh for.." I sighed. I do that a lot, "I wish you'd stop that,"
"Vot?"
"That accent, its so slutty,"
Windlicht rolled her eyes.
"You really don't get the 'succubus' thing, do you?" She said, dabbing more gloss on her lips and looking up at me questioningly. I squinted a little, and nodded. We have a little trouble with mirrors, you see, and this is the best we can do. It works out pretty well. We've got this unspoken agreement that however pissed off we might get at eachother, we dont let one another out of the house looking like clowns.
"Whats to get, exactly? And hey! Thats my fucking top you cheeky cow,"
The door lurched on its hinges. Someone was getting a little impaitient.
"Looks better on me. Stop whining, and get the door," Yeah, for the record - It doesn't look better on her, she's too blonde for it. Suicide blonde, infact. The red corset just makes her look cheap, but I guess thats what she's going for. She pulls it off I guess.
"Oh, its only that taxi driver you were slumming it with, and we both know it,"
"Hey! He's nice! Well...at least he likes my accent. He said it was cute,"
"Lunch was cute. You could have just paid for the ride. You know, with money instead of sitting on his lap and crying,"
"One - You're jealous. Two - crying is cheaper. Three - for the third time, can you answer that before he breaks the bloody door down? Ergh! Whats he turning up on time for anyway? He knows I was only joking when I said eight,"
"Oh all right.."
"Don't you dare let him in. Tell him to wait in the car, I'll only be twenty minutes,"
Another one of those nights. We're off to the Cage Club. Last time we were there I got shot at by this red-eyed psycho in a top hat, and I said- no, told Wind that I didn't want to go there again. So of course, she's been whining about it all week.
Yupyup, just a few minutes, and we're off. Looking for fun, looking for some cuddles and er...hah! Other stuff. Looking for the nefarious, and the kinky. Looking for anything quite frankly, I'm bored shitless.
Its time to get bright at night.
