[cam shit] The Code of Conduct

[kierthos]

Again, note, the Camarilla Code of Conduct does not apply to this journal.

I don't like the Code of Conduct. Yes, it does do some good. But in some cases, it hinders communication. Because while polite discourse is more likely to get a better and faster response, sometimes a situation calls for the verbal equivalent of a pimpslap and yelling "What in the name of Jim J. Motherfucker were you thinking?!"

I don't espouse violence (much) and never against any Camarilla member, but it seems to me that just occassionally, verbal outrage and profuse swearing would get the point across faster then "I see your point, however I don't agree with it."

Meh, just my opinion.

Whether it was the intention or not...

...the CoC has always been used to bully, browbeat, to prevent the free and frank exchange of views and to stamp on dissent.

With the way White Wolf seems to be acting, combined with the Cam's failure to use the reboot for an organisational and philosophical restructure I think its future is fairly limited.

I'm no longer a member, or involved, but from what I can gather its shrunk to a fraction of its former size here and I wouldn't be that surprised if there was a similar effect in the US.

The Cam, as ever, had huge potential that it never lived up to. Largely due to the egos of those who found themselves in charge.

My favorite response is "You are perfectly free to be amazingly stupid and wrong, and I am just as free to laugh at you for it."

...the very same reason I went Sabbat.

i want you to realize i don't play in the cam, never have. but what i remember about vampire, isn't there a lot of politicking?? i mean, that's why i hate the game. i'd just as soon run up and stake somebody as tell them their a friggin' idiot. but that doesn't work so well in your little world.
just my two cents.

There is politicking as your characters, which can be worked around, ignored, whatever.

It's the out-of-game politicking that drives me fucking bugnuts.
