We generally aren't a bunch of asshats unless someone deserves it. For whatever reason people stomped over the vampire board. Probably since we had a member that was going to "fight" some "vampires" or something crazy like that. Met a recent theme I guess.

I to did not post or make an account, but that was the fucking funniest thing ive ever seen. I mean who would waste there time to create a place like that, but if they actually think they are vampires thats their problems.

As for Cysa The Clown's posting I must say you are outright insane if you actually beilve that. There are thousand vampire communities on yahoo alone (3000 some). There is no way to cause issolation, not to mention the vampire (or even vampyer) communities do not reach out for memebers, they sit back and wait for someone to be in need and looking for information. No matter how isolated they become they can still be found by those looking for them (and infact you would be HELPING them get ride of the delusional role players that think it's just a game).
Using your logic on this the USA could attack france to shut them out of world afairs. That's not going to work, and everyone would see it as the USA trying to shut someone up that doesn't agree with their reality.

omg I don't like you at all whine bitch moan. What the fuck is wrong with you delusional vampires dumbasses. Vampires do not EXIST! Nothing in your pathetic minds can make this fact go away. The only slight similarity to vampirism is Vlad the impaler, who was in fact CANNABALISTIC, and was the origin for many a vampire myths, including just about all the versions where they only drink blood. Vampires are not cool, sexy, or sleek. While yes they can be fun to role play, but the important fact in that is that all role playing is FICTION! I swear to christ if I have to put up with another whiny teen punk who doesn't fit in so they decide the problem is with everyone else, I'm gonna kill the lot of you.

I am not a nice person, nor do I ever pretend to be, but I'm fairly based in reality despite the insanity I display on a regular basis. I do role play, but when I do I remember that it is fiction, that I cannot do what I'm roleplaying and I am not the character I am roleplaying as. If you wish to go about your fantasies fine, fuck it, I don't care at this point. But if you try to convince me or anyone else that you really are a vampire, or if you try and "recruit", then you will be labeled with the damn CRAZY stamp and I will see to it myself that you are locked away or exterminated.

Back to reminding you people where vampires came from. Realisticly there is no such thing is a proud or noble vampire. Praising your Vampire heritage is like saying: "Sweet my great great grandfather was in charge of a concentration camp". Its fucking stupid, you cannot decide to ignore somethings origins because they are not as cool as some one else's fictions.

I'd rant some more, but gotta go watch Boon Dock Saints

Life... is like a box of chocolates. A cheap, thoughtless, perfunctory gift that nobody ever asks for. Unreturnable, because all you get back is another box of chocolates. You're stuck with this undefinable whipped-mint crap that you mindlessly wolf down when there's nothing else left to eat. Sure, once in a while, there's a peanut butter cup, or an English toffee. But they're gone too fast, the taste is fleeting. So you end up with nothing but broken bits, filled with hardened jelly and teeth-crunching nuts, and if you're desperate enough to eat those, all you've got left is a... is an empty box... filled with useless, brown paper wrappers.

As for what the 'attack' was caused by, from what I gathered from second hand chat information (someone from the vamp board talking to someone from here or something) there was some role player vampyer (note the y)that was just fucked up in the head and attacked someone.
If that is so, you must remeber I could go and add Evercrest to my profile and attack a dozenor so communities to get them to attack you. Hell I could even make my sig and stuff look like one of your members and just cause you people a lot of problems, would that mean I was the person I inpersonated? No i'd just be a fucking asshole hoaxer trying to cause trouble. So just because someone says they are a vampire don't beilve, hell it would be a good point that they are NOT one if they openly admit it anywhere other than a support site. I mean when someone walks around with white powder on thier face and fake fangs in their mouth and say they are a vamire, you really going to beilve they are? Even if they mean vampyre (with y it's a stylist, someone that just likes possing as one, lol).

On a side note, most of us here probably have a job dealing with the writhing mass of idiocy known as general public, and it's just a reaction to believe everyone is stupid until proven otherwise. It's a little like the whole court system, except reversed, and being as most of the posts on the board at the time involved people thinking they were vampires, it triggered a little action.

Actually they banned you from being from here. There is also a new rule.. Lady S mentioned it, something about no more people from gaming boards being allowed in. However my question is how can you tell where someone is from.
I personaly wish they would create a Role Playing board to let the Vampyres be seperate from the vampires.

Oh and on the sword fight, that's fucked up. Why would you travle to have a sword fight, not to mention with someone that would admit to being a vampire openly, not to mention the 'to the death' part. Some people are just fucked up, however that doesn't mean everyone who thinks they are a vampire are (just a few of them, after all a million people quitely talking, and one screaming, who do you hear? )

It was funny reading all the, "All of the doctors and psychologists said there's nothing wrong with me. . .but I know I'm a vampire!" posts.

Can you say "psychosomatic"? Or, better yet, "drama queen."

Psychosomatic problems are just as real as any other kind - the person has zero control over it, and even though it is rooted in their psyche it affects them physiologically as well.

Not saying, mind you, that this makes these people any less amusing or that they even have a psychosomatic issue (they probably don't even have that, which is in all probability the only way they could be vampires).

Actually, psychosomatic problems--pretty much by definition--are not as real as other problems, in that they have no physical basis, existing solely due to a person's angst or stupidity. I haven't the least shred of sympathy for anyone who talks themselves into being sick through sheer unwillingness to accept reality. And even that's giving them benefit of the doubt by not assuming they're all just poor liars who gather together in the name of reinforcing each others' deceit.

Anyone who convinces themselves they have such a problem. . .and then creates/visits a web site with such useful coaching on exactly what to tell (or not tell) doctors, deserves pretty much any grief they run across.

Further, don't you love the ridiculous drama of overblown statements like, "Do your worst; better men than you have tried to kill me!"?

Finally, anyone who communicates so poorly should probably avoid wrapping themselves in sophisticated, worldy airs while preaching about the limits of modern understanding. It just looks silly.

A friend of mine suffers(ed) from terrible pain in his knees. Sometimes it was so bad that he could barely move. He is an intelligent, non angsty, altruistic person and he never made a drama out of his problem. And no, he isn't a Goth either.
After enduring every test known to mankind, the doctors told him that they cannot find a physical explantaion for his pain; that the pain he is suffering from must be psychosmatic.

After some therapy lessons, well two months of an daily 8 hour schedule actually, he got rid of his pain.

While I assume that you're mostly reffering to to people pretending to be vampires solely for the purpose of drama, saying that people who suffer from psychosomatic problems are all angsty, stupid or both seems to be an ignorant generalization and very opinionated.

How could an intelligent, well-adjusted person possibly have a psychosomatic problem?

I'll stand by what I said, thanks.

I'll also buy the chance of a misdiagnosed knee problem much more readily than, "Onos I'm a vampire!" which is obviously bullshit.

There are certain diseases that are commonly referred to as "vampirism" and "Lycanthropy" but they're nothing like the supernatural bullcrap.

The vampirism thing generally runs in families with extensive history of hemophilia and other bloodborn diseases. Your body has difficulty processing the necessary components into new red blood cells. In the past, this meant that at onset your body started to rot, more or less, as the tissues starved. In the modern day, there's medication to treat it, and often involves bone marrow transplants (sometimes several over a period of several years), and in extreme cases and emergencies, outright transfusions. The reason why it's not a well-known disease is that the vast majority of people inflicted with it die pretty quickly. It's not a pretty situation. And certainly not the basis for the vampires of legend (more on that later).

Lycanthropy (there's just as big a "weres" community out there as there is a "vampire" community) is, linguistically, only referring to the wolf-people disease. So most "werebeasts" out there aren't even using the right word for what they think they are. And there is a dementia popularly referred to as lycanthropy, where a person enters frenzied, destructive, noncommunicative and none-to-cunning state of mind. But compared to the sort of dangerous, frenzied furies people on, say, PCP get into, it's not nearly as dangerous. Also keep in mind that diseases common in the dark and middle ages (Syphillis, rabies, etc) cause damage to the brain and eventual derangement.


It's not terribly difficult to dig up the facts on these two tragic real world diseases, and doing so makes it all the more laughable when droves of people associate themselves with vampires as a real thing, or werebeasts as a real thing. Moreover, there's people with serious mental problems who think they're vampires and werewolves...just like there's crazy people who think they're God and Napoleon.

Besides, and this is something no little vampire fanboys or fangirls want to admit...idolizing vampires and werewolves is tantamount to idolizing rapists and serial killers. Don't try to deny it. And if for no other reason, I can look down on people who take the vampire and werewolf things far too seriously because I don't idolize rapists and serial killers.
