You are more than welcome to find somewhere else to play or open your own server and tell the story. No one is stopping you.
This Chronicle. My Chronicle, is not cooperative. There may be other Chronicles that are and you may have more fun playing there.
Please consider whether this is the Chronicle for you to participate in by reading Player's Expectations.
No one owes anyone a single explanation about in character actions. Vampires will kill each other over the wrong color of shoes. It doesn't matter *why* someone attacks anyone else. This is especially when there are so many varying points of view and political agendas thrown around in character. The truth doesn't even matter, in any situation. There isn't a fairness in the World of Darkness. I have designed my Chronicle like this on purpose. If you don't agree with it, you're not expected to continue playing. I am doing what I can to tell a serious story as professionally as I can without favoritism or any of the other bullshit fluff that comes with most stories. I don't cut corers and I publish my house rules so that everyone is on the same page and know what to expect from this Chronicle.
I expect Players to be mature, rational, capable adults who can participate in a non-cooperative story and not get their feelings hurt if someone throws a monkey wrench into their plans.
If that isn't for you, I don't expect you to continue playing and I won't take it personally if you leave.
If it gets to the point where no one wants to play in a Chronicle as cutthroat as this, I'll close the doors and wish everyone the best of luck in future Chronicles elsewhere. I do this as a hobby and according to my wife it eats up too much time and pulls me away from the family. If the Chronicle goes under, it won't be the end of the world. We do this because we love the game and we enjoy participating in something we created with our friends. I do this because I am addicted, I love the lore, I am creative and passionate enough to dedicate my time to it, and because I had a story to tell. I got tired of other Storytellers cutting corners, not being consisted with their rulings, or making up their own shit that didn't make sense to me.
We're going to make mistakes. I am going to make mistakes. My attention has been diverted countless times and I am not as young as I once was. I can't remember everything and I do the best I can to get it right the first time. What I do as a balance to these mistakes is give everyone the benefit of the doubt. No one is intentionally trying to cheat in my game. That is my point of view. People forget to spend 1BP to awaken for the night, no problem. I'll remind you and we'll move on. No one is intentionally trying to avoid coughing up 1BP for their Vampire. That's just an example, but I don't think for one moment that people are trying to cheat in my game.
The point I am attempting to make is .. we're all here to have fun.
If you're not having fun, why are playing here?
Find what's fun for you.
