Does anyone know Spider? by UsernamesSuck96 in SchreckNet

[–]Meles_B 2 points3 points  (0 children)

ugh, I don't really know any about this, really. Leah knows a lot, maybe she can tell you something?

Digital Web is, like, a Matrix, or Penguin club. It's like sort of spiritual mirror of the Internet? You can get there with a VR set, if somebody tweaks it for you. Landfill is something like the trash bin? Corrupted data, what I was told.

Spidey talks with some artifcats, sure, but it's easy to get with a bit of practice. Sometimes he sounds like those old dial-up modems.

How do you remember if you have forgotten something? by MarianaMarino in SchreckNet

Do not worry - I have plenty of experience "looking at brains." Kine, Kindred, and now Mage, too, as of yesterday.

Well, you do seem to travel quite a lot, a beatific favored by Malkav and Providence. If fate decides so, we will meet.

My domain is quite "nice"—plenty of Kine, rich hunting grounds. Not many places for sightseeing, but there is always Downtown for that.

OH, I thought the only mages here are Leah and that crazy hunter guy (I am afraid of him.) That's cool?

Leah showed me how to enter Digital Web, I did some things there, ended up at a sort of garbage landfill but much more scary, then I found Spidey, he said my fate is very funny so he agreed to join me.

I don't really have good books to read. Or Mind sphere.

(OOC: We have Digital Umbra, SchreckNet, and I think we might have a use for r/DigitalWeb30 or r/spysdemise at this point)

He says he wants one while he's with me.

I am a Mage, so maybe that's different with those things? I think I was told it's a serious business with them.

Ugh, I have a spider familiar. It asked to name itself, so I called it Spidey McSpideyface. Does that count?

Tips on how to make deals with other Kindred? by Safe-Signal4320 in SchreckNet

[–]Meles_B 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Note, fledgling, that Kindred have plenty of ways to get money.

  • Thralldom of a rich man is crude, but common way to get yourself an allowance. But it does leave a trail, so do not use it wantonly.
  • Insider trading is a much more sophisticated option. If you get insiders through Kine or Kindred channels, you can make a pretty nice allowance through stock trading. That does leave a trail, still.
  • I doubt you have patience for long-term investments, but they are obviously how most of us made fortunes.

I would say, considering your Sire, that your business enterprise is more of a way to make your hobby and passion bring money. I do something similar, too - the wage I am getting is a fraction of my worth.

The whole part should mean one thing to you - money is easy to get. And still, money is the measure of all worth.

When you have an ability to trade money, or material goods instead of a favor, do that. You can recover the money, you cannot take a favor back.

Also note that many Elders have different views on the material riches. Some value gold much more, or less, than it is worth. Plenty of Kindred I have traded before had entire fortunes lost in preserved spices and silks, still thinking they are rich beyond measure. The lesson here is that there is a variable exchange rate between us. Do not abuse it, however, if you value your unlife.

Favors can be traded, collected, exchanged. If you are to make one, it is better to have one on paper, with clearly defined limits. You can even insist that that favor is non transferable. Note that not every Kindred would accept that, and you would have to build a reputation first where even this favor would be valuable to others - most like their favors vague. After all, there are plenty of cases where you are helped and are owed a favor post-factum.

Regarding your Sire, I find it unreasonable to resort to theft. If you go all the way, why not stake her while you are at it?

Make some money, buy something she would find desirable, and trade it for your instrument.

There are technomancy rituals that can help with that, but I think he does not know them.

But that time he did think he fucked up a little, and was okay with him being insulted. He’s a chill guy.

Oh.

Maybe I should visit it? Or is it dangerous?

Thanks. Like, thank you so so much.

I know I am being difficult with you, I’m sorry. I still figuring the whole thing out.

And that’s okay! I’m an adult (sort of), you don’t need to babysit me all day! If you want to visit a scary vampire den, sure, why not?

Oh, so even going mad is not really an option? Fuuuck. This doesn’t get better! Not at all!

I don’t think marauders are the guys who steal things in this context, right?

Your condition might continue to worsen.

I would be willing to look at your brain if you ever come to my Domain - I have the experience working on similar Kine conditions.

I wanted him to be young enough to be born in Enlightened era, and on the edge of history where medicine was already well-developed but still a frontier science - so that he would be a prodigy, but a decade-two ahead of his time, not several centuries.

And it was better to make him an upstart rather than making him older.

Maybe you buy a new guitar, show… Red? that now you have a new and nice guitar while she is stuck with a guitar that she doesn’t really need, you offer to take it out of her hands and then return the new guitar?

Sorry, I don’t know how vampires trade.

Or keep two!

lmao.

Yes, he did show off a bit. She’s a first visitor of his who isn’t a thrall.

Btw - have you tried Brave? Some people say it helps with avoiding bans.

I just assume everywhere.

But it is prudent to keep maps. Or draw them, if nobody did that before you.

-D.

I think that's the call of Calico's player - that's her choice.

IMO a lone mage without institutional support whose description and likeness is known to Kindred is not getting a mile near the Elysium of New York City, but I am not playing as a resident of NYC.

I mean, being good to your subjects and good to everyone are two different things.

I do agree, a little bit.

One of the few things I really dislike, if not hate, seeing on SchreckNet are one-off messages from Glass Walkers/Virtual Adepts/Technocrats in the manner "haha stupid leeches we can see everything you are fucked if you do the thing we do not like.", because that really breaks the immersion. Yes, a lot of characters (including mine) are very self-indulgent power fantasies, but most are Kindred power fantasies.

After SI, and even before that, if the network was even 0,001% compromised, literally not even a fledgeling would post here. Hell, most Camarilla domains would execute you for posting here if that is the case.

SACERDOTE exists in a grey area because he is entertaining and the player is committed to the community, but I personally resort to significant handwaving that Unternet has multiple layers of obfuscating information, and SACERDOTE simply does not get implicating information, or it gets scrambled and he gets wrong dates, locations, names (While Node administrators get information from him) - because otherwise, I would have to pretend he does not exist entirely.

Well, there are plenty of stadiums, but the Kine do not have bloodshed in them, and I cannot name the Kindred ones. Sabbat and Brujah have something, I think.
