Their strategy of change is based on psychological warfare, as Supreme Commander Nikolai Alexander explains:

You cannot get rid of everyone that gets into your way, and even if you could, that wouldn't be smart. No, it's best to beat your enemy without firing a single shot. This means you have to beat him with legal or at least semi-legal means. [. . .] Through demoralisation, subversion and infiltration. This means you need to undermine the morale of your opponent by spreading defeatism. For example, by saying this doesn't make any sense, this doesn't lead anywhere, just leave it. Ideally, in combination with smear, for instance by claiming that you work for the enemy. Then of course denigration, so that everything will be questioned, picked to pieces and decried. You sow discontent, impatience and doubt about the leadership. The word for this assault tactic is 'constructive criticism', a concept of the Frankfurt School. Then you try to pit members against one another, stir up disputes, create coteries, promote traitors and expel loyalists. Install levers to influence everything in your interest, outsource relevant structures, etc. And of course, spying, disinformation, lies, smear – the entire set of approaches. These are the tactics and mechanisms to sabotage and destroy a movement.

iggy hairstyles! when you dont care about power structures it leaves you with a lot of free time so why not keep up w the fashion of the times?

[antisocialxconstruct]

He is..... complete. Oh my god that was SO much work but honestly so worth it for the natural fur variation effect. I've once again mucked up the face so he's got a weird little smirk BUT this time around I'm finally happy with the paws, so clearly I'm learning things :] I also understuffed him just a bit, I think it kept him from being quite as bowlegged as the first one.

bonus: you vs the guy she tells you not to worry about

The best thing about having a modern vtm game is using google maps to your advantage

tag the vtm oc who does not get along well with their coterie!

My endgame party in Rogue Trader is so fun because my Rogue Trader is walking around like "this is my space wizard boyfriend who keeps asking if he can torture people for me please please please, my goth girlfriend who kills people based on vibes and tarot cards because she's convinced god is talking to her, my xenos pet I keep around to demean and fuck with as petty revenge for torturing the shit out of me, a Nun with a Gun, and my 8 foot tall space marine buddy who could easily turn into a feral wolf man with just a little push and the only thing keeping these people from killing each other is that I said No :)"

more post session brainworms of the cowboy, things have not in fact gotten better and he's in fact more tired then he's ever been every single week <3 now with added trauma triggering!

Virgil Lawrence | He/Him | 212 Years Old | Ex-Sabbat Brujah Vampire

Session/Image Context below:

finally got his coterie mate's crazy tremere ex dead and gone, and then had to listen to a baby sabbat brujah's entire life and family collapse around her. also he got a new knife for free (by being stabbed)!

PoV you're the Boston Prince (who totally deserved this) and have been in office 100 years after your predecessor was also killed by being thrown off a building by the same cowboy.

PoV you're a coterie member who pissed off the already EXTREMELY on edge and furious brujah by rebuking his attempts to suicide bait you and he just drew his 10+ pool revolver.

damn hard to stay keeping it together when you see and hear the ghosts of your kindred loved ones all around you all the time and in the words spoken by those around you, without anyone meaning to do it
