Is that thing role play at all? If I IM a spampire and ask WTF? they don't even remember spamming me, they are too busy pushing buttons.

A simple 'Thanks but no thanks' should suffice. Persistence after that should just be muted.

I'm not sure I get this vampire stuff. I might even say yes to a bite, if they're cute, but they've never once talked to me before I got the blue pop-up.

Is it like a totally automated spammy thing that they don't control?

They have control via the HUD i gather they have it search the area.

Is this an ongoing problem or a so far onetime deal?
I have had a few send the invite again a day or two later not remembering i had already refused

Seeing the title of this thread,

Getting "fed" up with Vampires

cracked me up.

Good play on words. :D

(and I've never been approached and asked if I wanted to be bitten. Where do all these requests take place???)

What to do if they keep pestering you:
1) Simply tell them it's okay to bite you, but only at this private spot you know.
2) Teleport them to some combat enabled land
3) Get your scripted stickshooter out and go play Van Helsing on them :D

1.) world>envioronment settings>midday

2.) take a picture of them

3.) upload snapshot

4.) pass it around to all their RP buddies with the caption "So-and-so is not really a vampire"

Ooooo, I like this idea, except I'd tp them to some ultra-roleplay Gorean sim and sit back and watch the fun.

Popcorn, anyone? ;)

So was this ending from the end of Skell's post on this topic: "Animate my avatar? Not bloody likely."

Sorry, Skell, I know that's an English expression...but it really was great in this context :)

This response was appropriate the first forty thousand times. By now it has been made quite clear all across the grid that many of us find this crap annoying, yet it persisits. That moves the whole practice into the realm of griefing AFAIAC.

Embarass them, yell, AR them, complain to sim owners, whatever. Anything goes, they've earned our disdain.

I liked the idea of inviting them to combat sim, but the winning item in this thread IMO is the term "spampire". :)

I had that happen one time when I was in a pirate shop lookin' at beards (lawl).

The guy looked like The Crow, from the comic, so that was entertainment, but I don't trust any object from another av that asks to animate, or otherwise control my avatar, so I muted it & he went away after a while...I just kept shoppin'.

I haven't had that happen since, even when I went to actual Vampire Sims, like Transylvania (?) to try and find an Evolution Combat arena. I don't think I muted ALL of them by muting that one guy's attachment...maybe I just finally made my av ugly enough. Heh! :cool:

Savagery sounds more like "Brujah" to me.. Malkavians are known best for their incurable insanity. (like.. "Riddler" levels of insanity).



yep Brujah is savage (I was Brujah when I used to play Vampire the Mascarade a RL live action RPG) was fun to play
we had a Malkavian among us and he was weeeeird, he played it well

I was told I played the Brujah well heh

I got bitten once, but it was sort of a formality so I could join a land management group and do some building and stuff. Kinda funny to think back on it; there was NO roleplay involved at all in the "ritual", despite these folks being goth-y vamp types with all the trappings in their sim (rivers of blood, castle, impaling spikes, etc) so they might as well have just promoted me to a new role in the group and been done with it. But noooooooo, I had to get bitten. And taken shopping at Nomine (which was fun, although not as fun as going back later with my female alt).

You say that like it's a bad thing. :p

I am bumping you to an 8.5 on the Official Trout Measuring Instrument of Sluttiness. You are an enigma - on the one hand a sweet, gentle, intelligent woman who we would like to wrap up in our arms and protect, and on the other, a temptress to whom we would like to do all sorts of unmentionable things.

Congratulations and shame on you! You are a bit of a slut.

Ask them for their RL address. Then go there and drive a stake through their heart.

Or open all their curtains and expose them to the cleansing rays of the sun. Then stand and laugh as they melt into a pile of goo.

I want a return animation request thingy that says this back to them:-

"Kick in the Teeth [anti:Bloodlines], an object owned by 'Sassy Romano', would like to kick you in the teeth and then rip out your teeth for having a total lack of roleplay ability while maintaining only ability to annoy people by clicking on them as they pass by. Animate your avatar and die ... Is this OK? YES, YES or YES"

Hence, this is why I decided not to rp with the bloodlines system.

Being a store owner, who happens to make gothic and vampire goods, I want to yell at those who spam bite requests to my customers.
It's one thing to attract vampires to buy our goods... but we're looking for those who don't roleplay to buy stuff for Halloween as well and if they are constantly bugged with bite requests, they're not going to come back.

However, I must say I've explored some bloodlines sims and most roleplayers are just that. They stay in their sim and bite only those there. Those who wander and hang out at freebie stores spamming for bite requests just give all vampire roleplayers a bad name. Whether they are bloodlines or not!

My commitment:

If someone makes that thing and it sells for less than 1000$L, I'll buy.

I'll go up to 1500 for the abililty edit where the kick goes.

Oh no, not at all. I just thought it was a funny balance of "well, this is just how we do it around here" - and all things considered I wouldn't have been averse to a bit of pursuit and half-hearted struggling before allowing myself to be overcome by the charms of a leggy 6 foot tall vampiress of considerable power and determination. *sigh*

Oh crap it must have worked! A little bit anyway! RUN, RUN FOR YOUR LIVES, FOR VAMPIRE I MAY NOT BE BUT CLEARLY I AM SUCCUMBING TO THE MOST DREAD SL AFFLICTIONS OF ALL: RP AND SHOPPING!!!

Who may also have been male in RL, depending on who bit you and when. ;)
