The IC announcement for the NEE (cross-posting for Camarilla players)

by Jenn Louise

November 12th, 2012

THIS WEEKEND, the last significant Camarilla party of the year is here!
Don't forget to RSVP!

Thursday night shall be a reception to the first night of Elysium, we shall do a simple semi-formal "cocktail hour" theme - bring your favorite little black dress or your favorite suit and tie.

Friday night shall now be hosted by my gracious neighbor to the southwest, Prince Gerard Saint Clair of Westchester, New York. The details of the location are TBD.

Saturday night, the sweet sculptural rhythms of the blues era shall reign! Wear your black elegance with a hint of blue for a smooth evening of Elysium socializing.

In the height of Saturday night's intrigue... there will be a murder mystery game in Elysium based in the 1940's. We shall also have performances by Vincent Velario, a masterful bellydancer (and perhaps others)! I also invite the Princes of North America for a Prince's Meeting on Saturday evening.

To RSVP for the Grand Elysium, please go here.

Prince of Hartford, Connecticut

Vote Results: Notify the Lasombra Coordinator when you hold a "Court of Blood"

Closed vote Details

[Proposal] Addition to R&U bylaws for Courts of Blood

Hello Council,

Pursuant with Coordinator bylaw 3.C.iii, the Lasombra Coordinator proposes that the current R&U Listing for Coordinator Notify be amended to include Courts of Blood. This will be an addition to R&U bylaw 3.G.i.
 
 
This proposal is purely for bookkeeping purposes.  However it should be noted that Courts of Blood are extremely frequent within some games, and the records for these are very minimal.  The goal is to at least have the Trials pass through the Lasombra Coordinator email so that they may be cataloged for reference.

[Proposal] Addition to R&U bylaws for Friends of the Night

Hello Council,

Pursuant with Coordinator bylaw 3.C.iii, the Lasombra Coordinator proposes that the current R&U Listing for Coordinator Approval be amended to include Friends of the Night.  This will be in addition to R&U bylaw 3.D.1.  Additionally, this will alter R&U bylaw 5.A.v to include Friends of the Night.

Friends of the Night are the oldest members of Clan Lasombra and hold considerable internal power.  It is the goal to have them become Coordinator approval so that the Lasombra Coordinator's office may have oversight on them, as well as to assist with bookkeeping of the movers and shakers of the Clan.

Closed Vote: Custody of character ownership

by Jenn Louise

October 31st, 2012

This isn't WoW, you can't sell your PCs to other players anymore. (Damn, and here I was considering starting the auction for Selene Lazarion's sheet at $3,000. :P)

See voting results below, joking aside.

[PROPOSAL] [AMENDMENT] Change to character bylaws, to include restricting PC transfer between players

I am proposing the following change to the CHARACTER bylaws. While I am against the transfer of PCs between players at all, the very least I would like to see is Council oversight should there be an extenuating circumstance that calls for this to be allowed.I ask for this with NO GRANDFATHERING, so that any PC that has been transferred between players would be rendered unplayable. It is not within the spirit of building and developing one's own character for it to have ever been allowed.This would change the bylaw from:

1. Glass Ceiling
   1. Vampire PCs are restricted by the following:
      1. Any PC who drops below 8th generation must be retired to NPC.
      2. The highest attainable level of any discipline for a player character shall be advanced.
   1. Changing Breed PCs are restricted by the following:
      1. Any PC who reaches the 6th rank (the Legend equivalent) must be retired to NPC.
   1. Kuei-jin PCs are restricted by the following:
      1. Any PC who attains a Sixth rank of Dharma must be retired to NPC status
      2. The highest attainable level of any discipline or rite for a player character shall be advanced.

to reflect the following:

1. Glass Ceiling
   1. Vampire PCs are restricted by the following:
      1. Any PC who drops below 8th generation must be retired to NPC.
      2. The highest attainable level of any discipline for a player character shall be advanced.
   1. Changing Breed PCs are restricted by the following:
      1. Any PC who reaches the 6th rank (the Legend equivalent) must be retired to NPC.
   1. Kuei-jin PCs are restricted by the following:
      1. Any PC who attains a Sixth rank of Dharma must be retired to NPC status
      2. The highest attainable level of any discipline or rite for a player character shall be advanced.
   2. PCs cannot be transferred between players
           1. A PC may only be be portrayed by someone other than it's original player, with ST oversight for up to 3 game sessions
            ii. PCs taken over by the soul of past diableries are exempt from this regulation

Thank you! I hope this addresses the concerns. :)

Closed Vote: Thaumaturgical Countermagic

by Jenn Louise

October 31st, 2012

See below for vote results.

CM, KoNY

[PROPOSAL] Thaumaturgical Countermagic

Persuant to Coordinator Bylaw 3.C.iii. "Genre Coordinators must pass before Council any plot, enforced policy, R&U named characters, or binding edict they wish to use which they can reasonably expect to affect multiple chronicles and these proposals need not be seconded, but go immediately into discussion," the following proposal is being submitted by Alex Rushing, Tremere Coordinator.
The following will be added to the Character Regulation Bylaws:
7.A.ii.1. Thaumaturgical Countermagic: While Thaumaturgical Countermagic is not inherently a path of Blood Magic, it is considered Blood Magic for the purpose of administration.
and
8.B.i.2. "The administration of Thaumaturgical Countermagic falls under the responsibility of the Tremere Coordinator."
Due to the number of reports I have received in which people are claiming that Thaumaturgical Countermagic was de-regulated, I will not be allowing the grandfathering of approval for this power. Instead, I will be approving all members of the Astors and the one non-Astor who possesses Thaumaturgical Countermagic immediately after this passes. In effect, anyone who obtained Thaumaturgical Countermagic in the appropriate manner will not be penalized through this proposal.
-Alex R.

I have the support of both the Salubri and Tzimisce Coordinators for this proposal.

3. Telyavic Tremere. Telyavic Tremere are defined as Tremere who have replaced Dominate with Presence and/or practice Sielanic Thaumaturgy.
