These are the most accessible of the aged Kindred, and the ones that perhaps pay the most attention to age and status. No matter the cause, Elders enforce the system of status and respect religiously, and come down on those that buck this system like the fires of Hell itself. Elders are the Kindred that shape the world for vampires as a whole. It is they that make the laws and decisions, it is their games that write history and reshape life for everyone around them. It is for this reason they are both feared and hated - even by their younger associates.
The Elders' word is the first, last, and only Law that dominates the sum of the Kindred world, save when a Methuselah or Antediluvian chooses to dabble. Elders are vampires who have existed for 300 or more years. They have mastered many magical powers during this time; most elders are deadly and formidable creatures. Elders tend to be scheming, ruthless and paranoid beings; they will do anything to hold onto their power structures, oppress or manipulate the younger "upstart" vampires, and destroy their rivals.
By the time you reach Level IV (The Elders) you should have a fairly decent following of supporters and voters. The only way you're going to get through this Level is if you work hard with your Vote Exchange. At the Championship Level, the winners usually have at least 50 votes per day...some as high as 100. So if you've been moving up through the Levels at the Gothic Chamber and winning by the skin of your fangs, you're not going to make it. If after two weeks in this Level --which is indicated by a 2 after your site name--(regardless of if you voted for yourself every day or not), your site will be returned to Level II (The Anarchs) so you can brush up on your skills and work on your Vote Exchange.
Scoring is based on actual votes received. You must vote for yourself every day to move up to the next level. This means, even if your site receives the most votes during the week, if you do not vote for yourself every day, the winner will be the site with the next highest score.
The fighter with the highest score that self votes 4 days (Monday - Thursday) will have the honor of moving up to the Mystickal Realms Championship Level where he/she will compete with the top winners from the other Teams! The rest will remain here to try again for one more week. The winner will also receive a Gothic Chamber Blood Trophy to display on his/her Site.
FIGHTERS MUST:
VOTE DAILY (MONDAY-THURSDAY) TO ADVANCE.
VOTE AT LEAST 3 DAYS (MONDAY-THURSDAY)
2 WEEKS IN A ROW OF NOT VOTING 3 DAYS
WILL RESULT IN SITE BEING REMOVED.
In the event of a tie, the fighter with the highest daily score will advance.
Do not go gentle into that good night,
Old age should burn and rave at close of day;
Rage, rage against the dying of the light!
