paladine> look we need a leader. its time the prince either put up or shut up. i don't need those damned dogs in my haven!

miz_taken> you know i saw a werewolf in darling harbour, all the way down there! how does a werewolf stalk that far without the kine going crazy?

nexus> cam princes want their patch, not to keep us safe. we need a new leader.

pigsy> i'm sure they're aware and working on it, give the primogen time to decide

paladine> and will that decision be made before or after the next haven gets firebombed

miz_taken> the only thing worse than one of those dogs peeing on my rug would be one of them burning it! all the smoke damage to my sculptures and paintings!

pigsy> look, the primogen will do something about it.

After the recent firebombing of a Haven in Sydney by Bunyips, the Kindred have become nervous. Bunyips are frequent through the National Parks around, and through, Sydney and it seems like they've been trying to eradicate the Kindred of Sydney. Travelling out of the city, especially down the coast to Melbourne or north to Brisbane, has been dangerous with the Bunyips working in packs to crash the car and shred any kindred inside. All of this has led to nervousness and fear amongst the Kindred of Sydney.

Some Kindred have do not believe that the Camarilla and Sabbat are out to protect the interests of the general Kindred. They believe that it is time to take power for themselves, possibly even establish a Free State.

Some of the Kindred believe that the powerful backing of the Camarilla and the Sabbat will soon be brought to bear with the result of sending a clear message to the Bunyips that the East Coast of Australia is not their's any longer. The ways of Kindred for hundreds of years has worked just fine; the Traditionalists don't see the need for change just swift action against the Bunyips.

Some of the Kindred believe that the Bunyips present an opportunity to destabilise the established order and keep any particular leader stepping into the power vacuum. It will allow them to increase their stakes in criminal activity, legitimate business and the all important information business. This is the particular goal of the Settites and Giovanni, but of course many other Kindred would be happy to increase their own power within the ever-tangled web of the Jyhad.

The final question is... Which faction will win? Anarchists, Traditionalists or Organised Crime?
