Was Jesus a Vampire?
I was curious, if Jesus was a vampire, like most scholars now assume; was he malkavian, ventrue, brujah, toreador, nosferatu or tremere?

Jesus being a vampire explains how he turned water into blood and convinced people to think it was wine

Vampires can't cross water, Jesus could walk on water. Ergo, Jesus was not a vampire.

now was he a Lycan? A valid question. It also would explain the resurrection, as the mortal body may die, a full moon could reincarnate the soul of the beast, and thus his human counterpart along with it.

QUICKLY someone get a lunar calendar from 2017 years ago

"The name "paschal" is derived from "Pascha", a transliteration of the Aramaic word meaning Passover. The date of Easter is determined as the first Sunday after the "paschal full moon" falling on or after the Spring Equinox (March 21)."

I think a 1st gen. Vampire of Malkavian or Nosferatu bloodline could cross water or levitate at least.

Most Jews living in Israel at the time were from Ventrue bloodlines according to popular theologians

Plenty of popular theories claim Judas was the first Nosferatu. An Elder vampire. But what if his hatred of Jesus was because ole christface was a rival vamp

crosses burn vampires by the touch, so wouldn't he have burned on the cross??? or... do they just blind them?

The spear hit jesus, acting as a stake. When removed he regenerated as we know vamps do. They didnt remove the head either.

In Mark 2:1-12, Jesus performed a physical miracle, healing the paralytic, by biting him, to demonstrate a moral miracle, the forgiveness of conversion.

But Judas clearly loved Jesus and felt immense guilt and hung himself. This would take out the possibility of rival vampirism. However, turning Judas into a vampire is a possibility. Maybe he betrayed Jesus because he instigated the turning process in Judas. Then Judas would sell out Jesus and hang himself in reaction to his mentor being a monster and trying to halt the turning process.

Jesus was an Arabian Jew that looked like the people Trump just banned, head covers and all. Vampires tend to be white.

Jesus wasn't an Arab. He spoke Aramaic in the time before Muhammad led the Bedouins out of Arabia. And he was a vampire.

7 But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming to where he was baptizing, he said to them: “You brood of vampires! Begone!."

16 As soon as Jesus was baptized, he went up out of the water. At that moment his mouth was opened, and he bore his fangs.

@Praetorian ... nobody said he was Arab. I said he was an Arabian Jew. Arabia is a geographic term, as you seem to acknowledge.

If he was a vampire, how do you explain his death?

How does muting work?
I've never muted someone in a game before. Therefore, I am quite ignorant about how it works. Clearly if player A is muted by player B, B won't receive any messages from A while they're muted. What happens when B unmutes A? Do all the messages A sent to B while B had A muted suddenly appear, or are they lost forever?

New game Classic
Just went to a FTF tourney. Was fun. Want to play some more classic using the standard tourney rules (except of course 1 Day turns instead of 12 minutes).

Set it at 101d to filter for more reliable players. If that's too steep but you like the rest, chime in here, and I will make a new one with lower bet.
