Good god I can't believe this conversation is still being had. This topic has gone around in circles so many times over the years my head spins just thinking about it. At the end of the day there are city laws. Follow them or don't. If you don't like the rules then keep it to yourself and take a hike instead of screaming around in public like a dick (note: you in general not singular). One thing I have noticed through the years though, is that the biggest screamers normally have the most servants doing their bidding. UnicornDream Just is... I swear to the gods, if you ruin my fun, it's on like donkey kong. KONG!!!!1111

What I mean is, that if one of my thralls happens to spot someone in a pub and they are there minutes or hours later, he or she, dependent on who's patrolling what area at any given time, will give a coin whether they are there for celerity or not. All of them have the same standing order. I don't speak of my own childe in this case, because generally they're learned enough to know to bring the coin they need with them.
Anyway, it's true that if you use any thrall to aid a childe of yours with coin you can never help them out yourself. That's the reason that if they are in any way related to myself in a close manner, within ten generations or ten extentions via binding to one side, the coin isn't given.
I'm happy to help others, though. I see not helping someone who is willing, and attempting, to help themselves to be very poor in the way of compassion to others of which I have enormous amounts.
Thanks for your time, Lady Seyda, it pleases me to know that you have the consideration of others to read my statement, and than you more so for the response.
ETA: the 'will give' in the first paragraph since my mind raced ahead of my fingers on the composition of this.

ETA: the 'will give' in the first paragraph since my mind raced ahead of my fingers on the composition of this. No problem. I do want to point out, though, that although your acts of good will are probably very appreciated by the recipients, that if you're not taking measures to make sure that you're tracking bracelets on those you're giving to, then you could inadvertently put yourself or your thralls at risk. Unfortunately, sometimes vampires simply aren't as nice as you are...

I'll take that as a friendly warning of what could happen and I am judicious. I always make sure that no two thralls give a coin to being sharing a bracelet. Although if the same being has been reported several times at the same location over the course of several weeks, then the names at each pub encountered by my thralls are checked and reported to myself to be checked for matches.
Again, I thank you for your time and for the warning.

*sighs* Dammit, who fucking cares? Money transfer, thralls? Hell, if a friend of mine needs money, I'll give some to them if they need it. And they'll give it back to me after that. I don't care about money nor blood, what I'm after is the thrill of the chase for a hunter and the noise when their neck breaks, the searching of the body and the satisfaction of knowing there's one less. Then there's also the delicious hiss an HW makes when it lands on a target, and the satisfaction of knowing that the foes thinks "damn, let's pretend it didn't hurt and take it with grace when all I want to do is yell and howl it fucking hurts". Yeah, and when I get one, all I think is "fuck, it hurts. That's what you'll get, fucker, for hurting me, and some more".
So, no more money transfer? Wouldn't change anything for me. Anyway, clever people would find other ways... He'd have to prevent thieving too, because being stolen money by a friend you've told you were laden with coins is just the same as passing coins. I'd definitely hate being deprived of the ability to steal though. No more yelling to the ear of the younglings "Your coins weren't banked, they aren't yours, they're mine now. Tank you sucker!". Damn, I'd miss owning them. Besides, Rel would explode, knowing they have shinies and not being able to grab them.
Does HW make less damage when your opponent has servants? I don't think so. Some people have thralls, so they'll maybe end up zeroing you, and they have more BP than you. Yeah, cool. The more BP the vampire fucking with me has, the more I'll hit either his pride or his wallet, sometimes both. Actually, I see all the hits I get on me to also be damaging the other one's wallet. If he's got "black money", it's also good, for eventually, he'll be locked in Ravenblack's dungeon, and I'll get to fling shit at him for being a dumbass.
Oh, and I don't ask for shops and guild locations. That's what mindless servants are for. I won't fight with those though. They're easy to recognise: only real vampires speak, thralls are mute.

We are the Borg. All will service us for the greater good of the collective. You will be assimilated. Resistance is futile.

One of those trekkie thingers, I believe. I did a bit of research on them, and apparently they are a technologically advanced group made up of different species. I suppose they're trying to assimilate vampires now? Though why they'd post on a simple news forum given their intent and supposed superiority is beyond me.

The Borg believe themselves to be invincible, and they adapt to any damage done to them after the very first use of it against themselves. Strange little beasties, those.

They don't bear HW very well, same as other vampires, and the second one makes almost the same damage as the first. As long as the fellow loses blood when I splash him, I think I'll keep at it. Someone should tell him that vampires are immune to whatever stuff he tries to inject to me to influence my mind.

Nanites. They can't alter flesh that was dead before they began.
