Most of the trades have been sent. Waiting for my Coven members to be accepted, to whereever they specificed they wanted to go.
I wish them luck and for them to spread their wings and see where they can fly. They know I will always be there for them.
As for the profile help page, there will be a day or so....where it doesn't work, as I get set up at the House of Umbrae Octo. Give it time, it will be back.
It had to be done. I wasn't being effective anymore but I know I made some difference in these people lives, if just to be there and listen.
So, the Guardians will close their doors, as soon as everyone is placed. It may come back, it may not. Only time will tell.
This Health bill...Wow, the smart intelligent people in Washington DC have solved the problem of having health insurance. The bill states.....It is now mandatory for everyone to have health insurance, if you don't, you will be fined for not having insurance. WTF!!!!!!!
Most of us are scrambling to be able to scrap money together to eat and you expect us to pay for a insurance policy that we can't afford, or you will fine us? That's just crazy.
Life is going to get a lot tougher folks. Believe you me.
COMMENTS
if one barely afford to eat... and can't afford to pay for insureance.... how we going to pay for the fine???
That's what I want to know.
I don't even know what to say except it better get *damn* cheep to get health insurance real quick. I don't know all about the bill... but so far what I've heard is epic faceplam worthy.
We already have government run health care it's called medicare and medicaid. No over sight, rampant fraud and waste in most cases to the point of it being a criminal act. Every states in the union was starting to rebel over the unfunded mandates of these programs... because it bankrupted every state that used it. Giving you no choice but to pay for it on a individual level was the only way to keep the money pit alive.
As most of you know, I will be closing my doors soon. I have had multiple offers from different covens, opening their doors to my coven members. I even had an offer from Jens, who offered to hold all of my favors, for when and if I decide to return and reopen the Guardians of Darkness. Thanks hon.
But I think that the Coven that takes the cake, is Vampire Masquerade. The Mistress contacted me and every member of my coven, hoping to gain some members and some favors. (as this was the second question she asked me when we started chatting). I told her several times, that the choice is up to my Coven Members. Until I hear from them, where they want to go, they go nowhere.
I recently got a note from her and this is what it said:
FROM: MasqueradeMistress
hello just anote to let you know that VampyreMP has asked to coem here when you disband I told him he would have to let you know so I also wanted to mention it to you.
Thank you for allowing us to have these members adn just so ya knwo we are a kid friendly covens Crystal Ice has over 1/2 of her members are between 14 and 18 so.. I am posting something simular to what you have up on your main page as to Alliances and kids on VR
:)

I go to her coven page and find part of the note, that is at the bottom of my Main page....on her page. Claiming protection of the teens. The places in bold are taken from the very bottom of my Main page, in the note, of why we are won't be in an alliance.
Hers:
We have decided to not have any other Covens or House join Our ALLIANCE.
That only OUR Current Members that may make Sire and want to start a coven and be in Alliance with us.That is the only way another Coven may join our Alliance and also under the supervision of US.
Here is the reason why:
OUR KIDS
I and my Alliance Coven have many kids. I will not call them naive, but they are still in the Stage of Trusting and they trust US. ( the 2 Coven Masters)
Myself and My Alliance Master are both parents and we also have our own family / kids here and this is one of the reason we choose not to put them in harms way, in any shape or form that is an uncomfortable situation.
If someone approaches one of my members and makes him or her uncomfortable, even if they didn't mean too, We would approach this someone and they would deny any wrong doing, we are sure of that.
We would warn them not to be doing whatever it is they may have done to make them (kids) be uncomfortable. If it continued even if it is another / different [Kid ] member then the Master or Mistress would get involved as to what has happened etc.
So, this is our decision, I have nothing against any of the other Houses or Covens, I am not labeling everyone a preditor of children. We just have to look out for the best interest of the kids and we decided, this is for the best interest of them. Not to put them in the position where they could get hurt.
Please understand, its not personal but we take the protection of our Children seriously
I think that her taking this, without my permission is a low blow. Someone attempting to be something that they are not. There are several other covens that actually advertise that they will take all ages and some of them are below.
Covens that have offered to take teens:
Coven of Vampire Dove
Coven of Infinitus Serenus
Coven of LaRose Noir
Coven Of Mystical Darkness
Sangre Fidelis (Coven Of De'Morte)
Coven of Cognitive Fabrication
Coven of Peaceful Insanity
The Coven of Murmur
The Coven of Curunir
I know that there are many others out there, but these are the ones that I know of. I was not the only one that took in teens on this site. I never claimed to be. My coven was strictly for teens, created for teens. That was the difference.
I'm sure that there will be many Covens scrambling to take the place of my coven, I truly don't care, as long as the kids are safe. But do it on your own merit, do it with your own words.
Sorry Vampire Masquerade, the only members that had told me that they wanted to come to you, are adults. There are no teens coming your way. I have been told by one adult that she will not be coming, due to this and I will talk to the other. If i can help it, you will get no members and no favors. I only deal with honorable people.

she needs to learn to spell as well
Wow, that's an epic fail right there.
These new Covens are ridiculous.
OMG, sounds like the vultures are already circling... okay, only one. :)
As stated, it is your coven, your favour, your members. It is your prerogative to do with them as you wish. You know my coven is more for adults, and my offer with the favour stands for ALL TIME, as long as VR exists.
Your presence in my coven is also most welcome, should you ever need a place to escape to at some point, but it is like above, your choice.
I hope all your teens find safe havens and predators be kept at bay.
Your loyal friend always... me. :)
Well first of all anyone can tamper with a message. Change it and do as they want yet, we do have teens and I did not say my coven was getting teens it was the ALLIANCE, but I have apologised to you and told you just because I had put up did not mean anything towards you.
As for being to to spell better I think being a survuvor of 2 strokes in the last year, I am working really hard to be sure my words are right, yet it is still hard for me. So back off my grammar I do know emglish , I am sorry I had a stroke and having my words posted that you had to endure the typos.. that is kool
ANd I was one of the founders of Sangri Fidelis so Iam honorable,and as I said I am sorry that you felt I was stepping in your turf.
We should be doing this privately between 2 adults as well. yet this is how you want it. so be it.
Vultures are surely circleing......
ok, maybe just a dove or two :D
...She's the same woman that threatened to report me to Cancer for forcefully inducting and then trading a member for favor. I thought that was sort of humorous...considering the process of forced induction is something that was created by Cancer himself...just sayin' I know it doesn't exactly pertain to this situation, but you're not the only one that has had trouble with her before.
I prefer honor and honesty as well. That's why I didn't ask for any of your members. I'm not much of a curser(sp?) but some of my members are and some in our alliance are. So it wouldn't be right of me to take in teens that you are trying to protect. Yes we all feel very strongly about keeping kids safe, but words slip easy when you are upset with a personal situation.
But I'm willing to help in anyway you need it. Meaning, if you need to talk to someone. I'm here.
I feel very comfortable with my call now. Thank you Lady C for bringing this to MY attention. As the parent of one of your members i feel very good and confident in saying that when you, he and airwitch are ready my defeated1 will be joining a coven run by someone I think we both can feel good about and will be in an alliance with members who can continue in his guidance and protection.
Should you return I am happy to have my daughter continue her social network education under the watchful eye of both you and myself before she goes to anyone else.
Uhmmmm, wow.....
All I can say is that I am scared to be losing my Coven. I dont want to go anywhere else. I dont know where to go. I dont want to get sucked into something that I dont want, or to be put in a place where Im not a good fit. The only thing I can do is respect my Sister and Brother's wishes and hope for the best for me.

This may have been better as a private message to you, but I just wanted to thank you for sending over one of your coven members and the favor that accompanied her. It was unexpected (the favor part I mean). You're a very generous person, and I appreciate what you've done.
I wish you the best in your future endeavors.
