Yesterday was tough. I had to have a dear pet euthanized. I am not ashamed to say that I cried and cried and cried at the vet office.
Just got home. Had to take a cat to the vet. I saw the hottest man I've ever seen out in the wild. It made me sad. Sad because for whatever reason, it reminded me of how much time I have wasted. ugh. My brain.
I am not writing this to point fingers or name names, but to reiterate something that...really shouldn't need to be said again, but here we go; Vampire Rave operates on a FORCED INDUCTION system. This means that regardless of who is promised to what society, once that member becomes eligible for induction...it's a free for all grab. Any society can induct any member once they are eligible for induction. The system is designed this way PURPOSEFULLY. The only people on this site that get to choose which society they want to join are sires. End of story. If you have your eye on a member and they get snatched up by someone else then you may be able to negotiate a trade based on favor. Other than that, forced induction is the name of the game.

Haha, I was gonna yell at you for snagging someone I had my eye on, but then I was like, well, you win some, you lose some. I was too slow on the draw. People really just need to understand that forced induction is such a pivitol part of the Society System as a whole, and has been since it's inception in like, 2005. It's nothing new here.
If I may respectfully interject. Not everyone here is keen on the forced induction regardless of if it's been a part of VR since it's inception. Some empathy on this subject would go a long ways in helping new members feel more welcome here. And the fact that there are some such as yourselves that have the unfair advantage of seeing if someone is lurking you're apt to get most of the new recruits anyways.
That may be oldsoul, but I will ALWAYS forcefully induct, as it is how the system was made, it is the entire intention behind the society system. Now, I have not said I wouldn't be willing to trade.
I understand FORCED INDUCTIONS. I also know the person you force induct has the right to ask to be traded. Also something else I don't understand why induct newbies into a totally dead coven? Give a newbie a chance to get into a coven that's at least semi active. Not wanting to trade is the very reason vampire rave is losing new members
No wonder this website isnt growing.
Force induction creates risk without which there would be no fun.
You can definitely tell who doesn't understand how the Society system works...because it's not going to change. I've been around since before the system started (19 years now) - and *Forced Inductions* are that way in order to motivate people to level up & Sire out or request trades from their Society leader (if amenable.) Whining about it isn't going to do anything - and this website doesn't need whiners. It's doing just fine, especially since there are many of us who've been here for a decade plus.
Completely agree with you Neowise and surreal!
I'm so disheartened, and on the verge of panicking. What kind of bizarre world are we living in? This makes ZERO sense.

Right?! I've been in utter disbelief all night. And man, am I just so disappointed in everything. How that became the outcome, after all the shit of the last, like, 9 years... How we're back here again... It's scarry.
Agreed. Like a non-stop time loop.
Procedure complete. I've never gone through so much pain in my entire life. Not even when I had my nipples pierced. I am hurting.

Cheers for quick healing!
And, you did it. You're a step closer to where you need to be. Well done!
Thank you both so much!
Tomorrow morning, I'm having a small procedure done. It's no where near being the entire thing that I need done...but it's a step in the right direction. I'm nervous. I'm always nervous.
