My Halloween costume will be a Skrull disguised as someone from the Canary Islands.

You assuming that all Halloween creatures have the same taste in food just because of their species?

Well, this is assuming each kind of creature shares a liked dish. I probably should have worded this better, but hey...

Oh yeah, you're THAT guy! I forgot you changed your avatar.

I change mine fairly often, so I'm not sure which one people associate me with the most.

This is obviously not gonna happen but wouldn’t it be funny if challenger pack 5 were to be a spirit character? That would be like the most unexpected character in the pass like joker lol.

Yeah but I'm pretty sure blood-sucking falls under the categories of "aggravated assault" and "attempted/1st degree murder" so I'm gonna stray away from that
And unless becoming a vampire suddenly gives me a complete lack of empathy I wouldn't be comfortable turning people into thralls/vampires against their will.

Not sure how I feel about turning other people into vampires. If it's not consensual, it feels wrong. I like Tom's solution more



Mmmm. Delicious legal quantities.

Dude. It's 2019 and we have the internet. You wouldn't be for lack of willing volunteers.

Well then that lead into a potential problem in the coming years. Let's say it's 2019 and I am the only vampire in the world. I make 3 vampires in the span of a year. Now there are 4 vampires in 2020. We stick to a rule of four people per year. Now there are 16 vampires in 2021. Then 64 vampires in 2022. By 2024, we'll have 1024 vampires. You see the rapid growth right? 2029 will lead to a million vampires, and that number can grow.

Now it's not a perfect hypothetical, but you bet your ass there is going to be a huge conflict over this between humans and vampires if I just allow exponential growth like this. Not only can some vampires not follow the rules and presumably just hunt end up being psychopaths, we also got a question of how does society accommodate for the rapid vampire growth. And no, I am not for enslaving/destroying humanity.
  1. Vampires need a blood source right? We run into a potential dilemma of hunting all life to extinction before the turn of the century.
  2. That's ****ed up.
Like let's not pretend being a vampire doesn't forgive us of some responsibility. A war is most likely going to break out at some point if vampires just hunt till their hearts content.

I see what you mean.

After all, vampires probably think, "What is a man? A miserable little pile of secrets!"

Sorry, I just had to.

Well, you can also drink animal blood. You could use livestock and kill them with wooden stakes after you drain them so we don't have vampire cows.

Also, fresh vampires need to feed a couple of times a week. You'd starve to death if you only fed 3 times in a year. There is the added bonus that the older you get the left often you need to feed, which is how Dracula gets away with waiting so long between meals. It's cause he's super old.

Gotta say, a vampire human war would make for an interesting movie. But not the kind you see in modern movies where the vampires have everything but the bloodsucking and sunlight taken away. I mean like, classical vampires. With all the sorcery and shape shifting it entails.

You see my point right? If I were a vampire, it would be irresponsible of me to turn other people into vampires as that would bring long term societal consequences. Also I'd rather not terrorize farmers by reducing their livestock by considerable numbers. They already have it rough as is.

Like I get the allure of the fantasy of it all, but it's not something to be taken lightly when applied seriously.

So you'd rather work at a blood bank or something, I guess?

...I thought you had the list. ._.;

I can't remember, to be honest. But I can give you some new options. Fulgore(Killer Instinct), Brian(Quest 64), Psycho Red(Power Rangers), Blood Falcon(F-Zero), Metal Mario(Super Smash Bros. version of your choice, not the original Smash 64 model though).

I meant to save it but with how I never bothered to ask other users for tributes f, I think I had forgotten to save the tributes that were requested by that point. My mistake, my apologies...

I could either go with any combination of those or go back and see if I can find your original post.

Can do, but I need one more tribute from you to fill out your District.

You'd obviously have a deal with the farmers. After all, you've got a growing population to feed.

At this point I'm just scripting a movie.
