Two weeks have passed since our last look at the standings. Our apologies for the delay in the league postings, but we couldn’t be bothered last week. The good news is, staff at the BWL office have finally succeeded in working out how spreadsheets can be set up to automatically calculate statistics. Which means that we are far more likely to be bothered to update in the remaining three weeks.
Let’s check out the standings!
(Full details on the first post)
The major change this week is the sudden rise of the Wytch’s Brew. Despite having two inactive members, and the burdensome handicap that is known as Scythian (who has only gained 212 blood in 5 weeks), they shot up 6 places to the number 2 spot, and are now the closest rivals to the formerly-unstoppable St Johns, who are still over 20,000 blood in the lead. Thanks to this sudden gain in standings goes solely to COVEN, who gained over 10,000 blood this week by visiting a necromancer. This makes a total 3 vampires who have took trips to the necro since the start of the competition, in the hopes of boosting their bloodline’s standings so save themselves from the ever-feared relegation zone and the subsequent shame that comes with it.
From the start of the competition there have been one creed of competitors that have stood out as being utterly useless. One group of people who gain about as much regular blood as an accident prone boxer with leukaemia. These vampires are known as the ancients, the founders, the “rawr, I iz eldoor” types. It would appear that as a vampire gets older, their will to live, and therin, their will to feed, disipates. Unfortunately, even if they had such a vibrant will as would be needed to keep up with the “noobs” and “young whipper-snappers”, they fail at doing so for a veriety of reasons. The foremost of reasaons, as stated in a city-wide poll given to OAVs (Old Age Vampires) was that their dentures just don’t bite as well as their teeth once did, back when they had some, or that they just fall out when they go to pounce on a victim (who is, naturally, already rather grossed out by the old people smell). Another main cause for their retardant blood gaining is apparently their innability to get about very quickly, during which time they complain under their breath about their back being affected by the weather and how their feet are swolen and it’s all the fault of the “noobs”. But of course, while many OAVs have these things to blame, some are simply senile, like MavericksChild (+170 blood in 5 weeks), who has been spotted on many occasions wandering around the lower south side of the city, biting lamp posts, wooden picket fences, and trying whole-heartedly to get blood out of a stone. Bless her little home-knitted socks.
Yet another probable “stamina quest” this week for Xavier Archer makes him the twice-winner of the Ouchies Award, and the only person to have less blood now than they did 5 weeks ago (except Mooncalf, who has lost 5 blood). Although a second “stamina quest” will no doubt be claimed, eye-witness reports state Xavier was seen being beaten up by a very small girl who wanted his pocket money.
So, tune in next week to see if anyone can catch the St Johns! Which is unlikely to happen, unless somebody does something really stupid like actually goes to war for the first time in what feels like years. Heaven forbid we should have some warring in a city filled with thousands of vampires!
The Bloodline Wars League was brought to you this week by Age Concern. Letting very old, senile vampires think they have won for fear of giving them heart attack from too much stress.
