Subject: Strange message Author: Terrencethecat [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 05:45:11 04/04/04 Sun Hey Vampy family! I got the message below when I logged on this morning. I've never seen it before. Anyone know what that means? Do I have some creepy vamp diesease, forced to avoid all contact and never be seen by the light of day. Wait, that's all ready happend. Anyway, anybody know what this is? Thanks! Molly "Terrencethecat" Diane >>Querida sucked blood from you. You were temporarily paralysed, unable to do anything but watch as the blood was drained - more blood than you would usually expect. As if to add insult to injury, Querida isn't even drinking, instead spitting huge mouthfuls of your blood into some kind of wineskin.

[> Subject: Re: Strange message Author: Mama Tanyada [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 14:40:52 04/05/04 Mon Hey MD/Terrence! What it means is that someone on a Suction quest bit you. When you go on a Suction quest, you have to bite 20 vamps with higher BP than you. You suck out about 6 pints of their blood and spit it into a wineskin. When you get the blood of the last one, you drink all the blood, and gain the power of Suction. You don't get to keep the BPs you bite out of people on the quest, but biting them also doesn't take an AP. The power of Suction means you drain 2 pints from each vampire instead of 1, and you get 2-4 pints from each human, instead of 1-3. When questing for Suction, it's often nice to leave a message thanking the person you bit, although it's not required. Some people take offense at getting bitten for Suction, and will hunt you down and Holy Water you. But most won't. In an interesting aside... my evil vamp was also bitten by Querida in his/her Suction quest last night. Funny. Also, Querida is the name of a street in my family's neighborhood. ~Tanyada, in encyclopedia mode
