Oy malaka, it must be a Greek ploy to get Bulgaro-Vlach thots.

I don't mind exaggeration. But we aren't talking about that. We're talking about outright stupidity shown by a notable vampire character, not some side-quest NPC (and there are cases, where such exaggeration I not only don't mind, but quite like. Such as Mr. Ox).

Could it be the poor French is an attempt to impart that his backstory is fake? Kinda like the fact that he says he was a lieutenant in Napoleon's army - which sounds like it was, but it was not a position of nobility. After the French Revolution, most junior officers were made up of former sergeants, who were middle or lower class. But not aristocrats. I'll find a link or such on this. He's trying to sound like some leader from nobility, but doesn't even understand that he's not.

He says he was an officer without specifying his rank.

what a communist dictatorship has the EU become

A weak and pathetic one.

The EU isn't weak and pathetic, they've been very successful in their quest to destroy Europe for decades now. They're evil as fuck but they effectively control almost all of Europe with an iron fist and will continue to do so for years to come.

He says he was an officer without specifying his rank.

You know, you are right about the rank. But I believe the premise still holds.

The French Revolution created many social changes within the army. The title and birth right of nobility was forbidden by the National Assembly. The officer corps thoughout Europe primarily consisted of nobles or men who had attained noble stature or station (Elting, 1988). The reorganization of the officer corps within France had actually assisted up and coming officers such as Napoleon." - cite

Unfortunately, I can't find my main citation, but I'm by no means a history buff. Just remember reading that most generals and officers prior to the French Revolution were aristocracy, but post Revolution were made of rapidly promoted sergeants and their ilk. There are probably better read folks on here who could confirm or shred this.

The Bloodlines 2 model has a substantially broader face, wider nose bridge, stronger jawline, and sunken eyes. While Damsel in the original was relatively low resolution, she was at least feminine. Even disregarding looks, Damsel has no appeal at all. Just a typical commie idiot. Half-cocked ideas and ruled by emotions and false piety. The concept of anarchs in vampire society is a dumb as a faction gets anyway. Childish egalitarians in a system where (super)natural inequality could not be more obvious. I'd bet a bottle of patchouli she's just pissed that she wasn't sired by a ventrue.

Dam from this pre-rendered video or concept art looks fine. Either way, you can't claim that they made every female look offensively ugly.

That pianist(?) knows what I'm talking about.

The benefits do not outweigh the negatives though. I doubt that you'd unironically want to be a Malkavian if you were thrust into the setting and had to pick a clan to be embraced by.

I doubt many could claim they had a choice, excluding members of Ventrue, Giovanni and Tremere perhaps. But least of all members of clan Malkavian, it would make sense if Malkavians were naturally drawn to the already unstable types, with predictable consequences.

But what if the aim of the method is madness itself?

If Malkavian insight provides accurate, albeit covert, information of reality, then Malks would be closer to reality than other clans. You could even say that they are sane, and member of other clans are the lunatics.

Well, he never even claimed to be noble. His Sire was. Still, the story and the accent *could* have been false. Or maybe he just decided he *likes* the English accent. Weirder things have happened in WoD.

 

[rusty_shackleford]

maybe his sire died and he just took the name of his sire and pretended to be him

 

[Storyfag]

And the story of his supposed Sire would be of his actual Grandsire? Perhaps, perhaps.

Maybe 'LaCroix' is an ancient Camarilla title meaning 'whipping boy'.

Its like a bunch of fundamentalists who make up their holy scripture as they go along. Gotta keep up with the fad dogma of what you are supposed to chant or you get canceled on a cross by the career special victims acting as clergy!

Even something meant to be supporting is declared "Hate" and "Violence" by the nutters because you used the wrong terminology for their mythology.

He's trying to sound like some leader from nobility, but doesn't even understand that he's not.

He said he graduated from the royal military academy (École Royale Militaire?) and joined Napoleon's army. After Waterloo he was embraced by a Belgian noble. It doesn't say straight if he was a noble or just rich enough to be allowed into the academy and I can't find anything more on him from his lines (source).

But you are correct about how the organization of the French army changed after the Revolution (and with Napoleon). In fact, it was possible for a commoner to become a high ranking officer and then be granted noble title, because your capability as a soldier was more important than your social background. This was the case for many of the Napoleon's Marshals.

No more clubbing due to 'rona measures.

Not officially, but there in an underground clubbing. You just need to know someone who is on the inside to get on a private list of guests. I heard the places are packed full.

I recognize the words and can read them, but not understand them. It's like they are speaking in one of those Lovecraftian eldritch languages.

The only thing they hate more than people with different opinions is other SJWs.

I swear if there were only two social justice types left on the world, inevitably a fight to the death would ensue.
