Amanda, have you started this one yet? I've been waiting for Locke to catch up and you to start before I started back up where I left off. I'm about to start chapter 3 whenever you guys do catch up.
Locke, how far are you in "The Tale of the Body Thief"? Finish it yet?

How far did you end up getting, Amanda? I actually forgot about this thread and the book. I think I'm still on chapter 3. Have you caught up or gotten past me yet? If not then how far are you? (If you're past where I am then don't put any spoilers up lol, even though I like spoilers I'm not really in the mood for them for this book!).

Well, you're in luck. I've been working an insane amount of hours at work this week (I was here last night until 11!), so I haven't even started it yet.
Tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow...

It doesn't bother me in a fanatic way(see ARGGG post on hp board). I accept that there is homosexuality in the world, but Anne Rice seems to be enthralled with guy on guy action. 3 men in this book are so far homos. However i find Elliot very intruiging, much like he is meant to be. being only in chapter 3 you are miles behind me probably(im on 10ish i think) so i won't spoil it) ill try and find my tottb book, it was getting interesting...

Three? Only two so far at the point I'm at. Well, I think today (I'd say tomorrow, but it's after midnight so it would be today) I'll try and read a little more of The Mummy to catch up. I hope I'll have the chance to even read, but who knows.
Actually I had just found that thread on Dakota's a few hours ago and I responded to it. Actually my responce was directly to you so I would like to see what you respond with. But don't worry, I didn't try and flip at you randomly again like in the past. Safe to read without imagining me running at you with a pitchfork lol!

That's funny! Every time I go to read that (or anything else for that matter) either something I want to watch is on, I'm sent to do errands, sent to drive my brother around, or something else random comes up. I haven't read ANYTHING that wasn't online in almost a month lol! Well, assuming I don't go out with my friends tonight, I'll TRY to read some lol.
Amanda, have you been playing that vampire game lately? I've been playing maybe once a week if I'm lucky.

Yeah, I've been playing. I actually just bought Surprise. I was going to buy Locate, too, but there is a quest involved and I'm going out of town for the weekend and won't be able to do anything, so I'm going to wait until I come back.
I bought Thievery 1 for one of my minion vamps and the other one almost has enough to get it. I want to get Thievery 3 for both of them.

I have to many "minion vamps" for me to bother with powers for them, so I'm not going to bother. But I think I'm going to get a new power soon. Dunno what yet though.

The only people I know that play are Chris, Sandy, Narc, and me. When you sign up, you get a vampire and you move it around this city, biting and robbing to get powers. I just got Surprise (which allows me to get into squares that are really full). Chris and I both made a couple of additional vampires to help our main vampires get more coins. But, now that my main vampire has Thievery 3, I am starting to build up cash for my minion vamps to get some powers.
Anyway, it's pretty fun. You should try it out. If you don't like it, you can quit any time you want. If you do play, let us know because we both belong to yahoo groups that have a lot of good information (such as the locations of banks, pubs, guilds, and transits) that can help out.

Yeah, what happened first is it wasn't supposed to be a novel. It was a script for a movie written by Anne Rice. But, they wanted to change the movie so much she got so pissed and canned it and turned it into a novel instead. So that is probably what it is about them having the rights to it and why it has been in development for so damned long.

Lol, I was sitting here, looking through my entire post, thinking, "What the heck did he edit?" Then I thought for a minute, and checked the link. Sure enough, it tells me that Keyca has lured me into a dark alleyway.
Oh well. I probably would have noticed it sooner, but I was on vacation all weekend. Still haven't started this book.

Well, I got what was coming to me. I haven't played the games in a while and just randomly started playing it yesterday again. Well after everything I did, I was a move away from getting thievary 3 and I was going for it today. Yep, I was deleted for cheating. Same with all of my other vampires except two fo them!

Not an update to the game, this time, but rather a horrible error, thanks to dealing with cheaters when tired. All vampires with less than 2000 blood today got whatever amount of blood brings them up to 2000, in an irreversible operation. To make it relatively fair, I gave everyone else an extra 1000 blood as well, since it was impossible to reverse. Please don't ask me to make any changes to individual vampires - that's the sort of thing that causes mistakes like this in the first place. My apologies to anyone this causes trouble for.
Surprising, and kind of an inconvenience for some, but what's done is done.

I want to know why everyone is so mad? I took a quick glance at FTA, but I haven't found an exact reason. All I saw was that the mistake gave EVERYONE FREE BLOOD. Why are people mad? If anyone should be mad, it should be me for my own stupidity in getting caught. Or even Raven Black for having cheating ass' like me play the game. But everyone else made out.
Oh, and it officialy was NOT me. Well not ONLY me. If you read the latest news section, it said that if you want to role play then you can use this into your story, that a very reclusive master vampire died and everyone obsorbed his essense. I wasn't a master vampire, so I'm not the one that cause the **** up, yay!

Or, if you want to roleplay-ise it, a very reclusive master vampire just died, and his essence was absorbed by everyone.

Well, my two vamps that didn't get the ax from Raven Black were "Confused One" and also "Hello Its Me" (yes, I ran out of names lmao). But I am not going to touch them at ALL. Nope, this *** **** is no longer cheating.
Oh, and I went to make my vampire again. I can't loggin because I've been deleted. But I can't make a new vampire with the same name because it still already exists! I want "Keyca" back damnit! Well I took a character from my story and made a vampire with him. I'm at least a master vampire this time. My new vamps name is Lemartis. ...Also, do I still show up on you guys family tree? If so what does it say my blood count is?

OK, the reason everyone is mad is because people who just signed up, who should have, say, 22 BP, now have 2000 BP, the same amount as someone who might have had 1999 BP. Also, many people pick who they rob based on BP, and that is screwed up now. Ummm...let's see, what else.
Personally, I think everything will even out sooner or later. However, I will probably be behind many vampires, because I don't drink from vampires.
Oh, the other complaint I've heard is that it gives vamps free chances for stamina quests. Instead of building up to be able to go on one, it is just given for free.
Anyway, there are people saying they are going to quit the game over this. That's just stupid. Everyone makes mistakes.
Chris, you still show up on my family tree, as having 2000 BP.

2000? That's good. That is further proof it wasn't my fault. If it was my fault then I would have been zero'd out. But since I was deleted, and THEN AFTER that he deleted this other cheater and accidently gave everyone under 2000 up to 2000 BP then that means I was deleted, zero'd out, and then when he deleted the other guy I went from zero to 2000.
Yay, it really isn't my fault! *Does little happy dance!* lol
