Okay, everybody. Here is a list of everything we can pull into this.
Tommy: Legal 3, Occult 2, Street 2, High Society 2, Underworld 2, Media 1, Resources 4
Camille: Church 4, Health 3, Bureaucracy 2, Politics 2, Street 2, University 2, Finance 1, Occult 1, Resources 5
Ziggy: Politics 1, Health 1
Silky: Health 2
Jack: 2 floating points that can go anywhere
With all that in mind, here's how they will break down by category:
Demon Church 4 (Camille) University 2 (Camille) Occult 1 (Camille) Occult 2 (Tommy) High Society 2 (Tommy)
Toledo Health 3 (Camille) Health 2 (Silky) Health 1 (Ziggy) Street 2 (Tommy) Street 2 (Camille) Politics 2 (Camille) Politics 1 (Ziggy) Legal 3 (Chip) Underworld 2 (Tommy) Bureaucracy 2 (Camille) Media 1 (Tommy) Finance 1 (Camille)
Undedicated points: Resources 5 (Camille), Resources 4 (Tommy), 2 free points (Jack)
That's everything, people. Right now we have to figure out how we're going to to put them to use. What we need is for everyone to brainstorm and come up with ideas on how to use these connections to get us the information that we need. Camille used some of her connections to positive results to track the blood supply in Windsor. We can use that same formula to find the same in Toledo. We just need to know how it was done. Camille, please post that here.
Everyone throw in your ideas here, so we can get this done quickly. (OOC, don't worry about the math, that's the easy part. We just need storyline justification right now.)

Sure. Can you be more specific with your question? What do you need filling in on?

Toledo as in Toledo, Ohio. We are making forays into the city, and all of the influences listed above are the resources we are considering putting into those efforts to gather information on any other possible non-Sabbat vampires in the city. For future reference, if there's something you want to learn about, just ask IC. It will generate roleplay and add to character development.

This was a two DT action with many moving parts so pardon the long post...
Health 3, Politics 2, University 2, Finance 1, Start a big initiative to rebuild a blood bank with Windsor, swapping blood types and sharing information about donors. Health is obvious, Politics to help push the initiative, University to help catalog and index, and Finance 1 to run the money/books. Use this to start tracing blood transfers that regularly come in, specifically if particular "types" of blood, or donor sources are going to the same place each and every time, trying to track down blood that might be going towards feeding Vampires, Ventrue have a particular diet, that often needs to be supplemented. We should at the least be able to identify some leaks.
This got me Contacts x 1 in Windsor
Health 3, Politics 2, University 2, Finance 1, (follow up to last weeks action) Using the big initiative I started last DT rebuilding a blood bank in Windsor continue to work with that blood bank to aid the families harmed in the attack by the airplane crash in Quebec. Heath 3 and Politics 2 to get a Red Cross group out there and make a big show that Americans care about their northern neighbors. University 2 to start a blood drive at the local campuses to supply the blood, and Finance 1 to run the money/books. Also continue trying to track down blood that might be going towards feeding Vampires, just in case. We should at the least be able to identify some leaks, and start following them back to their destinations. It may also create some contacts in Quebec.
Contacts x 1 in Windsor - (Growth) In conjunction with the aid to the blood banks, I talk to my contact in Windsor, as we are working to aid the families harmed in the attack by the airplane crash in Quebec. I suggest that we should network with others in Windsor and Quebec and make more contacts so that we can do even more good. I have him introduce me to friends, superiors, colleagues, etc. and work on getting them indebted to me. (add Resources x 2 to the growth)
This got me Contacts x 2 in Windsor and the 2 in conjunction got us the info about the blood being delivered to that building.
Hope this helps.

Lilith enters the room, dragging her creepy bear with her by it's leg. She had just fed and licks the leftover blood from her lips. She notices the other pack members are hard at work; they seem to be in a frenzy over something. Lilith wanders up to Camille and gently tapping her sire on the arm. "What's going on Camille?"

Influence actions for 5/4/10 downtime (proposed)(OOC)
1. Blood Bank We use similar methods to improve the blood bank as we did in Windsor, this time however in Toledo. We use Health as the base of the action again Politics to push the operation, University to again give the operation extra credibility and catalog and index, and Finance to run the books. As before, we can use this to start tracing blood transfers that regularly come in, specifically if particular "types" of blood or donor sources are going to the same place each and every time and where any large supplies are going, or if there have been any thefts of blood or blood simply gone missing trying to track down blood that might be going towards feeding Vampires. (Health 3 (Camille), Politics 2 (Camille), University 2 (Camille), Finance 1 (Camille))
2. Evidence of Vampires We will use a variety of different avenues to find evidence of Vampires in Toledo. We will use different sets of Street to inquire about any vampiric activity that might have been seen and where or around whom is this activity. We will use Media to inquire about any stories that may point to vampires that have been either aired or dropped. We will use Politics and Legal to inquire about any issues there that may have been hushed or covered up, lawsuits, political favors, etc. We will use Underworld to inquire about muscle that may have been employed either to get something done or to stop it. We will use Health to inquire about anyone who may have sought medical help for something possibly vampiric or victims in morgues of something possibly vampiric. Where needed in any of these situations Resources will be applied for grease. (Street 2 (Tommy), Street 2 (Camille), Media 1 (Tommy), Politics 1 (Ziggy), Legal 2 (Tommy), Underworld 2 (Tommy), Health 2 (Silky), Resources 2 (Tommy))
3. Vanquishing the Demon and Understanding the Book We will continue the study of the demonic Book specifically its purpose, how to destroy it and how to vanquish Smith or any other demons for good. We will be building on what we already have done. Approaching the issue from different perspectives and putting the pieces together should get us toward our goal. Church ecclesiastically, possibly focusing on the relics we have learned about, University academically; myths, fables stories found in books are often grounded in some truth, and Occult mystically, stories of personal experience or handed down, occult texts that deal more specifically with demons, etc. (Church 4 (Camille), University 2 (2 free points Jack), Occult 2 (Tommy), Occult 1 (Camille))
Does this work for everybody

Lilith this is an online forum and we're talking about point values on our character's sheets, not really a place for role playing.
The influences stuff looks good to me, are we sending in a group DT to Rob then? It would probably save the ST's some time that way.

Okay, the write-up for the downtime actions looks pretty clean. I have no complaints and will happily put in my points as suggested if that's the plan. By all means, send in the influence actions to get the ball rolling.

Just to let everyone know, I have submitted the influence action as seen above. As you can see I have included from whom each influence came from so any of your influences used are listed. I applaud the pack's efforts and want to thank everyone for contributing. We may fight amongst ourselves but when it counts I know everyone is supporting our common efforts. Tommy
