Thursday was filled with disappointments but ended with a huge triumph thanks to my minion, Tonee. Early in the afternoon Valedric and I went on a clan hunting expedition in pursuit of a blood doll for him. We realized immediately it would be a miserable failure based upon the location. We teleported out and discussed a plan to hunt on our own at a later time.
I stressed the importance of making friends first. Good communication skills, having something in common with another person and patience are essential. I would much rather build a relationship with someone and wait a week or more for them to decide than to turn someone quickly only to have them leave. Minions depend on you for guidance, leadership, and stability. It is up to the liege to provide them with a sense of belonging and assurance. Armed with this information I know he will be an awesome liege one day.
Most of my minions I did not turn myself. I acquired them due to other vampires instability, personal issues, leaving the clan, or leaving SL. I strive to be available, encouraging, listen, help-whatever they might need. I am loyal to the clan and do not ever have plans of leaving. I provide stability. Based on these attributes I have had several people reliege to me. Laini, Gaz, Rainy, Cateyes, Adonis, Tonee, Azz. and Lina all were turned by others that relieged to me. I do not hunt them. I do not pursue them. Each and every time someone chooses to join me I am overwhelmed and honored. I do my damnedest to make them proud of their decision. I try to spend time with each of them too. They are my SL family and extremely important to me.
Due to their awesome skills hunting and building the family line I proudly achieved Countess/Goliath status in Bloodlines. http://www.slbloodlines.com/members/682774 You must have 250 souls in your line in order to achieve this. Tonee tipped the scales by bringing in 13 on Thursday. She and Azz reached Deathmerchant/Hellion status themselves. A great big Harrroooo! to all of you. So proud of each and every one of my "minnows". I could just burst!
