not quite sure what it is your getting at put ill give it a go count me in. afterall the worst that happens is i get virtually executed haha
No, the worst that could happen is that you get so emotionally attached to your virtual character thing and that when you are virtually executed you go into a downward depressive spiral and suffer a psychotic break which results in you running around town at night, breaking and entering, and attempting to suck people's blood. But that is unlikely...hopefully.
Well, if the worst does happen, please take a camera with you during your nocturnal escapades and post it on youtube. It would be most entertaining.
Forget the about "worst", focus on the best!
Starting tomorrow, we've got some traitors to kill!

ok can i just ask is the rules we act normally on this thread during the day. then on the night we pm each other on who the traitor is then he/she with most votes gets executed
@Christophe: Yeah - good 'ol cloak & dagger fun! 
Christophe, when you start posting in game, do us all a favour and a) use correct spelling & grammar (e.g. First letter caps at the start of a sentence, always ending with punctuation - a period '.' if nothing else), and b) trying to contribute something meaningful with every post.
I'd rather make an example of you now, before we start, than have the equivalent of Zathuer (shadow lord) from SAU XIII plague our session. No insult intended.
NOTE: This applies to everyone! Don't make me go Black Orc and bash your 'edz in!
@Arion: I assume this will be coming later today, but would you mind posting:
1. More details about these treasures? In the case of SAU XIII, the backstory was solid. Granted, they've run a wad already, so the Druchii seem more experienced here. For this story, what treasure(s) would be so great that a baker's dozen Vampires, that (presumably) don't know each other prior to the expedition, would collectively band together to seek them out?
Furthermore, unlike the cult of Slaanesh idea, what difference does it make if there are "traitors" amidst Vampires here? Why wouldn't this group band together temporarily, kill the horrors, Greater Daemons, etc. guarding the treasure, and then go gung-ho with everyone for themselves? What point is there for Vampires to ink out "traitors" among the group? That is, why do the "traitors among us" matter to the group? What do they threaten by being here?
I like the concept of TAU, so I feel that the backstory should be shifted to coherently work with vampire characters, if you want to stick with that idea. Their near-immortality reduces the threat of such 'backstabbers', since odds are their lives aren't actually at stake (IMO). Prove me wrong here!
2. Some background about the group itself, the organizer (your character's role), and why the hell there's a group treasure hunt going down? Perhaps this will help flesh out my previous concerns. :idea:: Maybe your vampire was a Vampire Hunter in his human life, unbenownst to the group, or perhaps even made known so as to instill fear, worry, doubt, and/or a serious threat to their existence?
I guess I've been spoiled after reading over half of the SAU XIII thread, with the eloquent and elaborate backstory! :lol:

sorry mister high and mighty for not using proper english (That sentance was delibrate, by the way.) I know what proper grammer is u cheeky g*t so no need to give me examples either. No insult intended and as the game has not started my last post was just for someone to clarify what i thought this game was about. As for background story i think it could work because the traitors could be in legion with Nagash who wants this item to control the vampires where as we as we want it to destroy him.

None taken. :grin:
I know you were asking a relevant question; I just figured your posts bore the closest resemblance to shadow lord's in SAU XIII, which is what we want to avoid - <spoilers>especially since he was a traitor</spoilers>.
I guess that works. I'm not very well-versed in the legion of Nagash, so my ignorance may be at fault here.Christophe von Carstein said:As for background story i think it could work because the traitors could be in legion with Nagash who wants this item to control the vampires where as we as we want it to destroy him.
Now as for the 'why' we need to group up in the first place...
:grin: I have no idea what "shadow lord's in SAU XIII" means. So i have no idea what you are on about and to be honest you explaining will propably only confuse me more so dont bother. 
:grin:
As for in legion with Nagash i just mean the vampires who have sided/allied with him to control the rest of the vampire nation

Lemme break that down then (if you even bother reading this thread any further ):
"shadow lord" - a user account on Druchii. Zaureth was his character, and for the first half of the session, his comments (few & far between) were only 2-3 sentences with minimal content, and poor spelling/grammar. i.e. He wasn't contributing much.
"SAU XIII" - The name of a similar such game run on Druchii that I believe Arion provided as an example; it stands for Slaanesh Among Us, Season 13 (OK, I made the "season" part up, but I'm guessing it's their 13th run). Check the earlier posts for the link.

Ok, I just got back from holiday travels. Should I assume that nothing has happened yet, or have I already gotten it in the neck?
Welcome back! :grin:
You're still "alive" and kickin' (well, sorta...you get what I mean).

Best of luck! :lol:

- Gildus (i.e. me) was executed Night 1 - Loyalist.
- Disciple was killed Day 1 by the traitors - Loyalist.
- Urial was modkilled due to inactivity - Loyalist (treated as a "traitor" for fluff purposes).
- Nihilus was murdered by the traitors Day 2 (just recently) - Loyalist.
