I, with my own eyes, observed the following scene:
A massive brawl outside Elyisum, in the back lot.
The Prize: The largest Domain in Seattle.
The method: The best 'warrior' was going to get it.
The winner? Grizz of the Brujah.
Who order it done this way: Prince Luthias.
You know, for a guy who is so hated by the Anarchs he is, in a ironic way, really not Camarilla.
Okay: The Cam way
He puts forth to various Elder's that he wants certain things done to his enemies. Over the course of months, or years, the Elders struggle against each other to see if they can score the biggest points to secure the rich feeding grounds.
Failing that they all lay claim to it and bicker and snipe and wage proxy wars with the young.
The Anarch Way
There is a fight, the winner gets the turf. Or the parties might compromise.
Note which is closer to the way Prince Luthias handed out this plum piece of real estate.
I mean, leave aside that Vampires love the 'Warrior' concept. I can tell you right now that Soldiers kick the shit out of Warriors any day of the week.
But hey, warriors is more glamourous and the old guys like single combat scenarios. Want to create fear in the Camarilla? Organize soldiers, akin to their Archon action teams or Sabbat Packs.
Let us leave Cam-Panty Twisting to another day.
So, no shit, there I was. Watching a brawl for Most Awesome Brawler. Knowing the stakes were prime turf, and maybe beer. Why beer? I don't know, tradition? The yanks love this sex-in-a-canoe shit, couldn't stand it.
Grizz wins and the others hail him their new War Chief! Wait, no, that was a movie I saw the other week. No, he gets a nod, a pat on the back, and some new digs and declared the Most Awesome.
I am curious, is this, with typical Camarilla efficiency going to be a new tradition for Prince Luthias' court? Every year they will battle to see who gets the Prime Piece? Or maybe a different prize?
And is there room at this table for an Anarch or two? Because if they want to play our game we might as well give them actual rules.
Seriously: Camarilla, stop stealing our cool shit. And while you're at, Camarilla Die-Hard-Hate-Allus-Anarchs - Do you even fucking see what is happening? And why we are laughing? In a decade we, the Anarchs, will be the conservatives and trying to work out how the hell you let it fall apart.
Prince Luthias, not saying anything in terms of a judgement way in your run your affairs, because you could murder me before I knew you were in the room. But this is a departure in a big way. I mean, unless you had the winners picked out in advance.
Then it would be back to business as usual.
