OK, so, lemme see if I get this right. When somebody "bites" you, your av's name is added to some off-site database of "people who have been bitten"; when a Bloodlines users "scans" you, what they're really doing is querying this off-site database to see if your name is in it. If it is not, the HUD returns a "fresh" response; if it is, then it returns a "used" response (I presume), which I'm guessing means either they cannot bite you, or that you're not worth as many "points" if they do. Is that how it goes?

Pretty much, yeah. The offsite database can be accessed at slbloodlines.com and contains a lot of info on how this game works.

Are you sure of that? I had it explained to me by a vampire recently. Are all clans the same?

Well I admit I'm not a vampire but according to what I've read on the bloodlines site and what I've seen after buying the HUD (because like a few others I was looking for a way to counter it) I do know that the first person that bites you "gets" your soul as I was bitten long ago by a friend and she ended up with my soul when I wore the HUD. As for clans, they seem to be groups of vampires that have pledged themselves to a leader and any souls they have "collected" count as the leader's as well for the purpose of status so I guess in that sense they do belong to the clan as well.

So, what does the clan do with the souls? Sit in a circle and eat them? Form them into small ring-shaped toys and toss them onto one another's coneheads? LOL.. oh, sorry; I am getting way too much from this discussion.

And half because of the consumerist dilution it brings to RP.


Nothing worse than diluted blood.




...unless it's diluted with vodka

You can't be a non-conformist if you don't drink coffee.

If you want to be a non-conformist, you have to look like us, think like us, and listen to the same music we do.

If I knew how paired animations worked, I would create a stake-through-the-heart animation that gave out an llDialog offer "Avatar" llGetOwnerName "would like you to bite them" [YES] [NO]

Nobody tries to bite me. Maybe they think doggie blood is inferior, or their fangs can't get through the fur? Phooey on the mean vampires.

My froggie friend's soul was stolen, but he was sad and he cried and the guy gave it back in a bottle.

I know of one place with a big sign saying that if you start harassing people with the Bloodlines thing, the owner of the Bloodlines network will remove you from the system. Dead vampires. About time too, then the people who are roleplaying properly can do their thing without morons spoiling it for everyone.

I've never had one of these vampire "offers" either...course some of the groups I'm in might scare them away ;)

Bloodlines is just the new Tiny Empires, but more annoying, because it basically pokes fun of, and insults, those who RP being vampires. The really stupid thing is, there are some RPing vampires that use it too *rolls eyes*.

So, since I am an SL minister, I should get a HUD sending out blue windows to everyone within a range, to marry them off, regardless if they are partnered or not... hmmmm... think of the money I could make *laughs*

I don't get the joke. The thing has zero to do with RP, and actually discourages it from what I've seen. I'd be willing to wager a fair amount of linden that the majority of bloodlines users have never RP'd anything, let alone vampires.

So following on from someone else's suggestion, I made a nice little sculptie altar thing, put it on my beach and enabled damage..

Then I rezzed several boxes of C4 that I had from a long time ago and buried them in the sand and invited a friend over for testing.

Great fun, but only seemed to inflict 50% damage. When I get the chance to invite a vampire back to my place for my sacrifice... I need this to go full tilt.

I've looked at the aubretec intersim nuke but that may be a little over the top for my needs, what's a good explosive (don't want to try firing anything) that would work? Alternatively, does anyone have a nice script that I can set off at the same time as the C4 that will do 100% damage?

But Warps, Spellfire or DCS2 dont have anything to do with RP either but most RP sims use them for combat. its just a system to "keep score" really.

Bloodlines could be a syatem for RP, but the maker seems to want to Make money off it instead of promoting it as a RP system. they sell the Hud, sell you containers to store blood, potions of protection and even potions to restore your soul if you have been bitten.

It was funny, I thought about getting bloodlines for RP but I had been bitten a long time ago before I knew what it was. I complained to the Owner that it was unfair that I would have to pay 599 for the Hud *and* 199 for the potion to restore my soul so I could start the game with a clean slate...he gave me a free potion to restore my soul but asked me not to tell anyone or else he would be passing them out left right and centre! ....

Sure glad no one reads these forums to find out you can get free soul restoration potions *whistles*
