Is there some way to extricate yourself from being an unwilling victim of this game? I'm completely annoyed by this.
I know its only in their game but they dont even ask permission now??

Oh I thought we where talking about chickens now.
But bloodlines have a garlic necklace to solve your problem.

Getting the garlic necklace IS the best way, its free, and when people attempt to bite you, you never even see it. BL should be banned, but that's my personal gripe. :)

Even though the garlic necklace is the easy way I found the best way was to let the makers know what it feels like. Every time I had the BL request without the person asking me I note carded it and sent it to the maker. I had asked him what to do he said to report them and they would be removed from the system, that was a crock.After he received 45 in 20 mins from me he contacted me and had removed me from the system so no invites.
Yes it was more effort but if all did it I bet they would soon find a way to change the system

no no, this is entirely different to Bloodlines in the way that you dont get a bite request at all.
They just use steal from you without you knowing.
The reason I found out at all is because I have a friend who plays and tells me I am bloodless and things.
I wore the garlic necklace for the Bloodlines game and didn't have a problem with those ones after that.
This is a different thing it seems.
This last one who made me part of his clan or whatever the heck its called got me while i was shopping at DK.
Just so sick of it.
I did IM the maker but she was offline.
Just wondered if anyone here knew of something they have in place like the garlic necklace is all. :(

Oh, honestly, I am NOT going to go around wearing a garlic necklace (even if it IS invisible) or carry watermelons or holy water or holy watermelons, just to make some dopes think they're important enough to affect my behavior. These people are just plain silly and I have no patience with their fantasies or their inflated egos; they can just.....bite me.

What the OP is referring to is a Bloodlines-like game that just dispenses with asking you anything before adding you to their game as a player. I would find out who makes this game and frequently tell them how you don't want to be part of their game until they find a way to exclude you from it.


@OP, Incidentally how did you find out you were included? Bloodlines have a web site you can search, does this one have anything like that?

Easiest way for bloodlines and for this game which sounds like a cheap ripoff of BL is every time you get a request, AR the person who made the request, AR the creator of the system and IM the creator of the system asking to be removed. Do this each and very time until the creator ignores you and then repeat steps A and B forever and ever and ever.

I don't think this new game asks you first, so you may not know straight away.
Not sure how the OP knows he has been bitten though - I am sketchy on the newer variant.

Thankyou to the polite and helpful replies.
The reason I found out about it was that my good friend who actually does play mentioned it.
I asked her and she said she didn't bite me because she knew I wouldn't like it and appreciated my feelings on the matter.
To the people who say 'just ignore it', well I guess its all a matter of perspective and in mine, for some reason it just annoys the crap out of me which is why I posted the question.
Also, the guy who made me an 'active' part of his clan or whatever it was happened to almost knock me flying while I was shopping! I dont know how close you need to be to bite a person but I did not appreciate it.
I happily RP a Vampire in a RP sim which is respectful and has rules of decency and I would never attack anyone without their knowledge or ability to fight back! and certainly not an av who is just minding their own business while shopping.
Sexxy Dejavu is the creator, I think if you have the hud you can check out any avatar you see and their status is visible to the scanner, but I'm not going to fall for that trap and buy one.
I'll just take her word for it that I'm there.
I bet most of you are.

I think all you can probably do is keep contacting the creator and bugging them enough for something to be done. Many, many complaints about Bloodlines have been made to LL of which exactly zero has been done.

I just got told that if you buy the hud you can then 'turn' and go dormant to stop bites! this is ridiculous! why should I have to pay to stop it from happening?
Yes I will keep trying to IM the creator.

Try to find out if there is a website associated with the game.

I am guessing it is this thing http://slfirstblood.com/search.php (see if you are on teh lits!!!)

They somehow added one of my friends, I noticed it in Google. She asked them if something was up with their system and the name disappeared from the list soon after.

According to their FAQ thing it's just a list of names, nonplayers can be "bitten" for points but "does not affect the humans unless they are a registered Hunger player" -- so all that goofy soul drama is avoided I guess. http://slfirstblood.com/about.html

A bit of information that I've got:

http://slbloodlines.com is the bloodlines website. You can search every name there so if you suspect someone take a look.

Wearing the garlic necklace adds you to the database as someone who isn't intersted in the game. Users of the HUD will see an associated message and leave you alone.
You can remove the necklace immediately, there is no need to wear it all times.
Reactivation is possible by wearing the necklace again and clicking it.

Garlic necklaces are available at various places.

Now how to stop them: Wear the necklace to get removed from the database.

You dont have to go around wearing it. I wore mine for approximately 5 or 10 seconds, long enough to click it one time and opt out of bite requests forever. Then I took it off and have passed copies of the necklace on to loads of people who also sought peace from all the incessant bite requests. The peace ever since then has been true bliss.

I had no patience for all the freakin blue screen bite requests interrupting me constantly, and had resorted to pasting in chat:

DR PHOENIXA SOL DDS WANTS TO REMOVE YOUR FANGS. TYPE YES TO ACCEPT.

I didn't have any takers to that offer, but it sure backed them off rather quickly. I had to think of something because some of the numbskulls would spam me with multiple requests until I could mute their asses.

Just make sure youhang out in sims with daylight, or ask if they don't mind losing levels when you stake them for XP?

Thanks for the help. I would be surprised if there is anyone who has been on this forum for more than a month who doesn't know all about Bloodlines from the mass of threads we have had about it though ;)

As far as i can make out from reading the rules at http://slfirstblood.com/about.html you don't even know you've been "bitten".. the vamps apparently get their jollies by wandering round getting within 20 metres of people, clicking their hud button twice -- nothing happens except they register a score -- and they then wander off muttering "yippee, I'm a vamp and I've just bitten someone" to themselves.

That is, you score points and advance in this challenging and exciting RP by being able to find green dots on the map, tp there (no mean feat some days, admittedly) and click a button a few times.

Some people must enjoy this enough to spend money on a hud... takes all sorts, I guess.

That game is *The Hunger* I think Chase Bosch is one of the makers. You can send him an IM, and simply ask him how to stop it. :)
