A speech delivered on Monday night

Delivered by Aaron Todd Hoyt on Monday Night

http://sabbat.owbn.net/wiki/index.php?title=Arron_Todd_Hoyt

*Stands on a dumpster, a table, his car roof, what ever is there to be a soap box and tries to speak clearly with emotion and volume so the back row can hear him*

Cyrus who has been given the position Bishop by the Catarina the Wise.

We respect Catarina the Wise.

But I am offended by Cyrus's blatent disrespect of Catarina the Wise.

He knows he is unfit for placement, he knows he is unable to serve or lead.

Yet he has taken the position to defend himself from those who know his darker deeds and he would wish you to remain ignorent, so he can plot to kill you!

I say we are not the whelps of the Cammerilla and we need only two things, and neither of them are titles!

The strong of cain!

AND!

The willing brothers and sisters of Cain! 

This Cyrus abondended his pack and left them for dead. All the while foul demonic powers blighted New York City.

He never notified them because, he cared not for his brothers and sisters of the sabbat! 

The pack banished him from their pack and deemed him: Dangerous, Ignorant, Untrustworthy and Vain.

As of Saturday night October 15th 2011 The attempted destruction of Pack Midnight Scythe, with the intentional misuse of bishop position mere moments after his banishment of the pack by a unanimous vote.

This V uses his authority for his own personal gain. 

Such actions, such actions, are not actions of one with cain's blood!  

These are the reasons such an enslaver of the sabbat should not be allowed to exist!

Are we not the vampires who hold to the Code of Milan?  

Does the Code of Milan disagree with my words? 

Are we going to go back into enslavement without even a whimper?

back up your grievances sons and daughters of Cain.

Join me in the fight to stop Cyrus from controling the sword of Cain, for his selfish whims.

For these nights have proven us to be focused!

Let us not allow such misuse of the bishop's position to be tolerated!

Let us question his competence under the Code of Milan.

Articles (page 11 and 12 in the sabbat MET book)

Article V, "All Sabbat shall treat their peers fairly and equally, upholding the strength and unity of the Sabbat. If necessary, they shall provide for the needs of their brethren."

They shall not use their peers as battering rams without their consent!

They shall not throw them into unknown, as a literal primitative human shield and minesweeper.

Article VI, "All Sabbat must put the good of the sect and the race of Cainites before their own personal needs , despite all costs."

They shall not forsake their pack for unannounced journies ill informing any memeber of the city that their bishop is not only missing but unable to be contaccted.

His returnn was met with questioning and when Cyrus awnsered flippantly without guilt, remorse, reason or explination as to why he had not contact the city.

He broke the Code of Milan. Willingly, to show that he can and will do what he wants not what the Sabbat needs or even care for his packmates.

Article VII, "Those who are not honorable under this codewill be considered less than equal and therefore unworthy of assistance.

Do nto assist Cyrus, for he will Forsake you and make you in your weakest moment his norushment to bring the sabbat into atphory. he brings us nothing but lies and pain to suffer for no benifit to the Sabbat.

Article IX,All Sabbat shall protect one another from the enemies of the sect. Personal enemies shall remain a personal responsibility, unless they undermine sect security.

Cyrus undermines the wishes and blessings of Catarina the Wise.

Cyrus seeks to displace the true bishops of this city and weaken the Sabbat!

All that we have worked for is in jepordy thanks to the selfish actions of Cyrus.

Article XI, the spirit of freedom shall be a fundimental principale of the sect. All Sabbat shall expect and demandfreedom from their leaders.

Let us not be blinded by the false aura of this Cyrus.

He has nearly lead one pack into final death because of his personal selfish behavior. 

Do you need to wait for Cyrus to find your weakness and weaken you from the Sabbat?

Infernal powers flow freely in New York City during his rule, he is a False-Bishop he sullies good names and tries to kill those who learn the truth of him. 

Let us not fall back into the Cammerilla! Let us silence the voice that wishes to bind us and strip us of our freedoms! We all have toiled for the Sabbat, we all have earned our freedom. Let no Daughter or Son of Cain let our wrok collapse because of a title given to a disrespectful 

Cyrus is a Bitch! a Costello! a Lacheur!

Cyrus is Dangerous! Ignorant! Untrustworthy! and Vain!

And he refuses to change his direction, he will lie to you cast you aside and kill anyone of us to make room for his Antideluvian masters. 

He commited an act of treason. 

Let it be known, we are not to be fucked with!

Let no title allow for our meaningless destruction!

For we are the sword of Sabbat!

And no traitor with a title, can ever hope shatter the Sabbat united!

Sabbat United!

Death to Cyrus!

Sabbat United!

Death to Cyrus!

Observers

by Vinny Escriva

October 9th, 2011

We were recently contacted by a group of NYU grad students who would like to observe us for a class project.  They desire to observe larpers in their natural habitat.  I convinced some of them to play instead (Cross cultural immersion at its finest).  Several of them will be creating characters, one or two may just observe, but I informed them that they will be limited to the OOC area.

If you are comfortable with it I encourage you to talk with them IC and OOC.  Interaction is not mandatory, and use of anyone's name or image is only with permission.  I am sincere in saying if it is intrusive or interferes with people's ability to play I will end the relationship.  The game is for the players.  On the other side, they are doing this for a "cross cultural counseling" course, so I expect that they will be respectful, and I think it could be fun.

Thought or concerns?  Post here, or send me a message in private.

TO ALL SABBAT WHO RESIDE IN THE CITY OF NEW YORK

by witch hammer

October 7th, 2011

((Invitations are also sent to the Bishoprics of nearby domains, including Boston))

Ecaterina the Wise invites you all to the Bloodbath and Confirmation of our brother, Dragomir Sibelius Grimaldi, as he assumes the office of Bishop.  May his leadership strengthen the Sword of Caine and lead it swiftly through the hearts of our enemies.   A gathering will be held at Lincoln Center on October  the 9th, and the Ritual Bloodbath will be performed by Bishop Orozco, on October  10th, at the stroke of Midnight.  The Bloodbath is one of our most formal Auctoritus Ritae, and all are encouraged to attend.

((OOC: The Esbat is held in Alice Tully Hall, now reopened after extensive renovations* in July.   The evening commences with a private performance of Richard Wagner’s Parsifal, after which, the guests are shown to a basement chamber that has been arranged for the Blood Bath.  Orozco leads the somewhat tiresome Ritus flawlessly, and after it is completed, consecrates the Bath as Vaulderie, leading the second Ritus as well.  When the formalities come to a close, the assembled Cainites are offered an escort to a private after-party for New York’s newest Bishop held at One Oak, a celebrity nightclub located at 453 17^th Street.  However, no actual Celebrities are in attendance, since the party is a closed-door event, which is for the best, seeing as how you would probably eat them.))
