Ah. There is the rub. Often trades made with the Succubus Club are
indistinguishable from "cheating". And other times, they are deeply
unbalancing, and only legal by virtue of interpretation of the concept of
"abillity to gain more VPs".

Or, ya know, you could agitate for specific problems getting fixed. Specific
problems fixed in the past, that have improved the game:

-No Repeat Actions,
-No Vote Pushing,
-Banning RTI,
-Giving Wake a cost,
-Making Banishment only useable on a younger vampire,
-Reducing IG to "only that round",
-Making Temptation of Greater Power only usable once per game,
-Making DoTB and Weather Control only one per combat,
-Disguised Weapon is now disciplinless.

And so on. Unless, however, you have only recently joined the game, and
didn't realize that all these things were fixed. Well, they were, and you
are now reaping the benefits of a world where people advocate to fix
problems of the game, rather than simply joing a group with their own
unspoken house rules.

At this point in time, the game is pretty solid (due, mostly, to people
agitating to fix problems, rather than simply joining a group with their own
unspoken house rules). The only significant problems that currently seem to
be in need of addressing, as far as I can tell from discussion and
experience, are Succubus Club and PTO.
