a different kind of Election Year Fun

Barack Obama


Laibon Magaji. During your untap phase, you may put an Informant into play from your hand or ash heap. Barack will not block your predator's minions' actions.

Willard "Mitt" Romney


Camarilla. During your discard phase, move all counters from any Investment cards in play to your pool. Once per turn, after playing an action card, Mitt may say he didn't play it and play a different one instead.

Well, V:tES is an international community so I'll chime in with my own politically motivated "vampires"



"Nicolas Sarkozy"


Camarilla. Nicolas may attempt a +1 stealth political action to become the Prince of Paris. If Nicolas is titled and has less blood than his capacity, any vampire may take an action to give him one blood and a corruption token. If the number of corruption tokens is equal to or greater than his capacity he loses his title.


"Joseph Kony"


Laibon. Red List. Kony may attempt a +1 stealth action put a master: discipline card from your hand into play as a non-unique clanless vampire with capacity of 1. If this action is successful, move a gun from your hand or library to the created vampire (pay cost as normal.)

Can I say I have never seen something so offensive this year, both for Obama and African people. Would it be too hard to mock him on thing he actually have done ?

In general, please remember that talking politic on an international forum is likely to create a lot of heat because of differents perceptions and all.

(nice one for Sarkozy Direwolf still )

Obama isn't african, he's American. So if anything, Americans should be offended. Also, I am a conservative white male, and I am not offended at the Mitt Romney jest.

So why cast him as an african vampire and not the straigth ventrue he is ?

In the same way, the "can't block its predator" is certainly supposed to be a joke about his "pacifism" whereas he is seen in as a warmonger in some non-american country and the peace nobel he received feel completely unwarranted now.

And not being offended by the Romney jest seen normal for me : it only look bad for him, not for other thing he is compared to, and it's both less offensive and more rattached to (exaggerated) true thing

He isn't a Ventrue. He's more a Caitiff establishing himself as an ally to the Ventrue.

The "won't block your predator" was not about pacifism. Even the surprisingly large mass of deluded Americans who believe him to be Socialist, Muslim and/or African mostly don't seem to think he is a Pacifist.
