For you using a thesaurus or using any other terminology is "Moving the goalposts".
"This sphere is made of cement you can't kick it to the hole."
"Yes you can, if you have a machine do it for me!"
"I meant you couldn't kick the ball with YOUR foot"
"First its sphere then its ball, man your moving the goalposts all over the place!"
Your right, possibly I should have clarified my statements if statement about weaker mortals meant that I meant they where weaker in relative to vampires. I apologize for that.
And now your outright telling me I misunderstood all of the fluff. Always, even in Classic World of Darkness.
Whatever Im out, I leave the conversation to sktarq who is better then me at this.The First Tradition: The Masquerade
This is the most important Tradition, for its observance
protects the race of Caine from discovery by a
mortal world that would unite against them in fear
and hatred. Many Princes and other Kindred authorities
spend a great deal of time using their influence or
wealth to cover up breaches of the Masquerade, for the
greater good of the Damned who may not even understand
the peril in which they place themselves when
they breach it.
