Poll: Would you turn into a vampire?

[William Dickbringer]

hmmm yeah I guess so let's face it immortality but wait does it mean that I can never ever set foot sunlight even if I cover up if so then no I'm too much of a day person

 

[Arkzism]

nope i wouldnt... but i would spend my days riding the world of your horrid vampireness.. or doing what i can to be an annoyence

 

[Trivun]

I want you to imagine that this night, a vampire comes to you and offers to turn you. What would you do in a situation like that?
To make it simple, here's the rules:
Edit: I've noticed I was a bit too vague about the rules, so I added a bit. Feel free to edit your reply or post a new one if this makes you change your mind.

Spoiler: Rules

Sunlight hurts like heck. Doesn't make you sparkle, just makes you dead, as in instantly sets you on fire like you're covered with gasoline and I dropped a match on you. You can cover yourself with clothes, but it has to be sunproof and clothes that sunproof don't exist as far as I know. (Edit; I'm told they do exist.)
A stake in the heart'll kill you.
Can't die of old age.
Cross all the running water you like.
Yes, you turn into a bat, but only for an hour a day (or night, whatever).
Yes, you are allergic to garlic.
You need to sleep as usual.
You're super-strong.
You have to eat every third day to survive, but waiting that long'll make you really hungry. Sucking blood once a night makes you quite full. Two people are a lot, and three a vomit-inducing feast.
It has to be human blood that's sucked from a human being or through a straw in a bag of blood. It has to be as fresh as the blood they put in people that have been in accidents. You know, you can't let it coagulate. But you can put it in the freezer and take it out again later. Just keep it reasonably fresh.
No hypno-powers apart from stopping people from running away when you try to zuck their bludd.
No staurophobia. (Fear of crosses or the crucifix.)
Doesn't change your looks apart from the fangs.
Please, ignore all religious implications of turning vamp. In other words, assume that god isn't real. (No offense to religious people.

And here's the thing: You have to be honest. No saying "Sure, cuz vampires are cool!" or "No, vampires SUCK!" You have to seriously tell me what you would do in a situation like that.

With those rules, no. Seriously, there is not a single vampire variant ANYWHERE in fiction that has rules that stringent. Hell, the vampire novel everyone falsely believes to be the original, that is, Dracula, doesn't have most of those. The Count can go out in sunlight, for example, and isn't super-strong, and so on. And the actual original vampire novel, Carmilla, has even fewer rules than Dracula. Even after them, no vampire has ever had rules that tough and stringent. So anyone who says yes to becoming a vampire given those constraints is pretty damn foolish.

If the rules were less stringent, then maybe I would. Though some are just bloody silly, like the whole 'can't go out in the sun even when you wear clothes unless the clothes are sunproof which doesn't exist...' is just long-winded, pointless, and completely impractical. A very stupid rule. But less stringent rules? I might decide to be one. Though that's mainly because I've always had a morbid fascination with death and darkness, even extending to some a lot of the stuff I write in my short stories. And being a vampire would be fairly interesting, to say the least. Not to mention the fact that it would make me instantly attractive to goth girls, and I find goth girls (that is, the ones without piercings and tattoos everywhere) very attractive... ;D

tbh the negative effects outnumber the good ones.

 

[tehbeard]

I'm half ginger so sunlight avoidance is already in my genepool, so yh sign me up to be part of the undead.

 

[DarkRyter]

No. I am many things. But I am not a monster.

 

[Patton662]

As long as I would become the Vampire The Masquerade vampire and not a pussy Twilight one.

 

[Wordslinger]

I'd like to say that I would, but.... No, I wouldn't.

 

[I Resurection I]

I would have to say no. Yes vampires are cool, but there would be so much that I would miss, and I just think that my personality wouldn't fit the profile.

 

[Krion_Vark]

Well, vampires have never existed and never will... But if this human that says it's a "vampire" comes to my house, I'll tell him/her to leave before I bash his/hers brains out with a baseball bat.

I am not easily fooled!

According to true vampire rules they are not allowed to step foot within your house without your permission. So that just throws another wrench into the idea that Edward is an actual Vampire.

 

[Krion_Vark]

I would actually like to be a Vampire from the manga Vampire Knight (yeah I read it up til it got really really weird with the whole incest thing thought it was good up until then)
They are:
Immortal
Stop aging at a certain point
Not allergic to Sunlight
Not Allergic to garlic
If they don't drink some blood become a feral being that just hunts down humans and wipes out whole villages.

Yeah I want to be one of those vampires.

 

[Jonluw]

I don't know: Maybe.

I do like sunlight, but I could always spend my days indoors with my computer and videogames, or sleeping. Wait! During summer we basically have daylight all 24 hours up here! I would have to be dormant all summer.
I guess the part that bothers me the most is killing other people, but I might be able to suck shady people in back alleys (no, not in that way. You perv.). I guess if I can find enough criminals it would be okay.

Fangs are badass, but I like garlic.

I have a hard time making up my mind, but I think I'll say yes

 

[TheGreenManalishi]

If there was a thriving community of vampires at I felt I could enjoy being part of (a bit like, though it pains me to say this, Twilight) then it might be cool. However, being human, I get day & night to roam around in, and won't have to live forever.

 

[steevee]

Hmm, not liking the garlic thing. I like garlic. :L

But other than that, honestly, I'd ask them if they could come back in 4 years, I wouldn't particularly want to be 16 forever.

 

[AgDr_ODST]

I think that I would take up his offer without question as long as he explained to me how to change people. That way I could turn my girlfriend and my three closest friends, and family so that I wouldn't be alone in the world. As for the sunlight thing I think i'd see about finding a loophole and completely covering my body, and put on a badass pair of shades. Because lets face it none at all would suck after awhile

 

[Evertw]

Sorry i don't ever want to be assosiated with vampires, especially after what Stephenie Meyer has done to them.

 

[Airsoftslayer93]

how about the whole ocd thing? you know counting rice and stuff like that?

 

[Snotnarok]

Sure I'd take the bite if offered ...I'd tell the bastard/***** to be gentle, I don't need my neck resembling shredded pork. I already barely see the sun because of my condition so this wouldn't really effect me either way.

Drinking blood is something I do anyway ...you know when I get a cut or something, I never understood wiping it off and being grossed out or whatever.

BLA let me suck your blood >:U

 

[Spectrum_Prez]

As long as I get my flying car some day in the future, hell yes.

Immortality is worth almost any price, think about how cool the future will be!

Ever an optimist, me.
