Mechanic which has been already addressed by the oWOD ruleset. Remember diablerie?
I wouldn't put VtM and CoC in the same category, they're completely different games. Horror is a recurring theme in any line of the WoD but the main focus in VtM is politics and other sorts of conflict within the vampire society. Which is what they are trying to capitalize in this MMO, in a structure that is similar to the VtM larp.
Huge Malkavian BR clan called "Chupacabras", focused on PvP & ganking.
Yeah, that was the first thing that came to my mind when I heard of this project. I assume they'll have some severe penalities for breaking the masquerade so people don't go around doing shit for the lulz, otherwise it's going to be pretty dumb.
Exaggerting, aren't we? Having guns in the game doesn't mean investigators are suddenly rambo. The usual CoC character background is inept with firearms, if anything all guns do is offer a false sense of security the keeper can exploit.
Lovecraftian MONSTERS, not themes. The way I understood it's closer to the Invisibles in that regard.
Obviously, I am exaggerating for comedic effect. I love Lovecraft, but there's certain things most people don't seem to grasp about the inner workings of his stories and mythos. Basically, people often ignore what I call the "Conan Effect." The key elements of a Lovecraft protagonist is that he's often intelligent and sensitive, maybe with history of slight mental illness, usually a scholarly type in general. The horror comes from the fact that he is ill-equipped to deal with the things he'll see and find out, as he does not possess an iron will or means to fight it, but he does possess the intelligence to have a basic UNDERSTANDING of what he sees, which is what drives his weak and strained mind to a breaking point. Mythos horrors don't spontaneously erode sanity, the protagonist plays an important part in the collapse of his mind as well.
scholars with a desire to 
hit them so hard that now they no longer have any righteous indignation, no scholarly pursuit, no sense of purpose behind their rage. It has become a hollow thing - merely rage for the sake of rage. They have become a 
Randolph Carter, man of action!
I don't think it would work.
So, if Saint Proverbius is Brujah, who is Troile? *dum dum duuuum*You fools, the most Codexian Clan from WoD is clearly the Brujah clan. Think about it for a second: once long ago, they were aforumclan of prestigious,finally see good RPG's being made againcreate a better world, but also cursed with a propensity for rage. Over the years, thehivemindclan divided, and now thenewfagRabble tends to be theforumiteKindred most often seen in recent nights. Their rich lineage is all but forgotten as many neonates seem to be more acquainted withplaying KotOR 7 timesthuggishness than they are withArcanumscholarly works.
A Brujah Elder would be somebody like Saint Proverbius or Spazmo, but they have been in torpor for centuries. An example of an active Brujah with a scholarly bent would be someone like DraQ, whose righteous fury against Elder Scrolls lore rape has become legendary among the clan. In comparison, somebody like skyway is the quintessential modern Brujah neonate.
It's commonly thought that hiver's fury upon seeing young women being harassed and his defense of them is indication of his Brujah blood, but that's a misconception. His troubled and incoherent rantings clearly mark him as Malkavian.
