I'm trying to sign up for the Presence forum and it is asking me who
the oldest and strongest Ventrue is and I say it's Ventrue himself,
but it disagrees. What is the answer it is looking for so that I can
bypass this lame test?
Thanks,
Brandon

If this is some sort of well-meaning "test" for truly interested
Jyhad players to keep out the riff-raff, then it should make clear
that's talking about a *CARD*. :-P

Nah. It is to keep spambots off the list. Lots of web BBS sites have
questions like this (usually along the lines of "are you an actual
person?"). I suspect that the one on the Presence list is just meant to
be a funny question that should (in theory) be obvious to VTES players.

Sure, that too. Wasn't really my point.

The point being, it's a question that can stump players because it was
phrased wrong. It's kind of a pet peeve when guys like that set out
to do something that in theory should be easy (devise a question that
every player of the game should know) and screw it up like that.

the oldest and strongest Ventrue is
Well, the problem is in the question itself.
Strongest "Ventrue" is clearly Marcus Vitel.

Yeah, I suppose. But it seems likely that it hasn't actually come up
that much.

True. Like I said it's a pet peeve to mind stuff like that. It's something
that shouldn't come up ever, so it bugs me even though you're right that the
size of the problem it causes is likely miniscule. I'm not sure why things
like that bug me. Or maybe I'm not sure why they don't bug other people.

Oh, I doubt that.

Yeah it would be Smudge the magnificent. No, wait, hold on, he's
smudge the ignored. And he's not Ventrue.
Vote for Smudge. He needs love too...

To add unreliable anecdotal evidence, I'd almost certainly think of
her first.

Ummm. That isn't clear to me.
The strongest Ventrue is clearly Luccia Paciola.

Yeah, there's only two problems with that claim:
1) Marcus Vitel is an undercover Lasombra
2) Everything else
